MAN OF MY DREAMS

PICKING UP THE CAR

RACES POV

I helped Colby take Kylas things into their house. I know I hadnt told him yet but I was extremely happy for the both of them. Kyla is going to make an awesome luna.

I had watched my best friend suffer the last few years as he lost hope of ever finding his mate. I had known him since we were kids and nobody deserved a good mate more than he did. He was ready to take his position as alpha but he was missing his luna and it hurt him.

Kyla made him happier than I had ever seen him and he was stronger for it. When the time came I knew would be a great leader. Being chosen as his beta was one of the proudest moments of my life. Sure the position came with a lot of perks. You got lots of respect and girls threw themselves at you but it came with even more responsibility. I may be playful most of the time but I took my position seriously.

Kyla didn't know it but I would gladly risk my life to save her. Every since I laid eyes on her I felt the need to protect her. She was my luna, the mother of the pack and we needed her. She made our alpha whole and kept him sane. Losing her would destroy and him and the pack would suffer. He loved her and I could only hope that I would find my mate one day to love her that way.

I may have acted like it was no big deal and pretended I actually liked having different women but honestly I was a lot like Colby. When I was younger I used to wonder about my mate where she was, what she was doing, if she thought about me too.

As time passed I stopped having those thoughts. It hurt to much to think about someone I never thought I would meet. I was falling for someone that I didn't even think existed. By age twenty most wolves had already found their mate which is why I felt the way I did. It was better not to care, not to feel, that way I didn't have to face the pain.

Seeing Colby with Kyla almost gave me back that hope. It made me think if she was out there and I found her there was no way I was going to let her go. Then reality started to sink in. That would never happen, she didn't exist. At least thats what I led myself to believe.

"Hey man you mind going to pick up my car from Nigels territory? He said he would send someone to the border to show you the way" Colby said breaking my train of thought. "Sure man no problem"

I ran to a nearby tree and tied my shorts around my ankle before shifting into my large black and brown wolf. It was mostly black with streaks of brown like my hair. My paws were brown as well.

I began running to the border. I was about five miles away when I smelt the most amazing smell, vanilla with a hit of lilac. My wolf howled and I ran faster. I was there in two minutes flat. There stood the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.

She had caramel skin, long brown curly hair, and a body that would make a goddess jealous. She looked at me and I saw the most beautiful crystal blue eyes as my wolf screamed MATE. I couldn't believe it. I finally found her.

I shifted on the spot not caring I was naked. She ogled my body and my wolf swelled with pride knowing that we pleased our mate. "What's your name darling" I said pulling on my shorts not taking my eyes off her. It took her a while to respond, she was still starring at my chest. "Mya" she finally said.

I felt a twitch in my shorts just from hearing her speak. I grabbed her by the waist and kissed her. She could not have been more beautiful. She was shocked at first but slowly began to kiss me back. I can't explain all the emotions that I felt. Love , passion, desire, lust, need were not even enough to describe it.

One kiss and I was already hooked. Thats all it took for me to know if I died right now I would die happy. That moment my whole world changed. I felt complete.

We both stopped for air but I needed more. Her taste was better than air I just couldn t get enough. I pulled her close cursing whoever made clothes. We were close but not close enough.

After another breath taking kiss I finally remembered the reason I was here. "You gotta show me to the pack house suga" I said not letting go of her waist as she guided me. "You didn't tell me your name" she said after a few seconds of silence. "Race" I told her. She got the cutest look on her face before she looked at me and said "Race, I like it."

My name never sounded better than it did at that moment coming from her sweet lips. We made it to the car in no time. "Come with me please" I said to her. I would beg if I had to. I just didn't want to be away from her.

"On one condition" "Anything" I said automatically. "Tell me the truth. Do you honestly care for me? I mean do you really accept me?" I almost laughed but held it in because I could tell she was serious. "Honey of course I care for you and yes I accept you. Hell I would propose right now if I though you would say yes" She laughed and my heart sang but little did she know I meant it.

She pulled out her phone and began to dial a number which I assume was her parents. She then climbed into the passenger seat, and I silently thanked the moon godess.
