Chapter 4

I arrived at work early so I could formally meet my new assistant, I was half afraid but also half excited to finally see the face of the guy that was giving me a second dose of the Mating Flashes. Mating Flashes happen in the weeks leading up to you meeting your mate, I was excited to ask this guy what he had done so I could fix it and get back to being a good mate.

I found my new assistant in front of his new desk looking vaguely like a lost puppy, I watched in confusion as he sniffed the air and grinned turning to me to find my horror struck expression just before I ducked into the girls bathroom. Why is this happening, I was a good person and a good mate. Why is the Goddess punishing me? What did I do wrong?

I jumped almost a foot int the air when a strong fist began to beat an angry staccato on the door, a strongly masculine voice quickly joined into to the cacophony in the bathroom," Babe please come out. Please tell me what I did wrong!" He sounded so desperate and upset. With a brief surge of courage I flung the door open and yanked the guy into my office.

The truly sad part was that he looked so happy just because he could see me again," look..." I paused realizing that I didn't even know his name.

" Brandon." he sighed," What's yours?" He seemed almost giddy.

" Elisa." I gasped loosing my focus for a moment as I reveled in the joy of knowing another thing about my mate. The word mate seemed to pull at me soul as it tried to mingle with Brandon's. A small voice in the back of my mind gasped and let out a strangled sob. " Evan." I gasped," Evan." this time my voice was a bit stronger." Listen Brandon, I don't know what is happening but I already have my mate and he is perfectly fine and very much alive. Maybe the Goddess made a mistake. I'm sorry, I have to go."

Brandon looked so confused and sad before his expression did a complete 180 and he started smiling again," Don't worry Elisa I will figure this out!" then he turned around and settled himself into his desk and began working still grinning like an idiot. I sighed heavily and went back to my office to follow his example and pretend that nothing had happened. I knew that he was not just going to give up. He believes I am his mate, and a hazer will do anything to be with their mate. I just hope he respects me enough to keep whatever he is going to do on the down low, I guess we will see. I just hope that Brandon comes to his senses before Evan finds out.
