Jesse's POV

   Fuck, she was so damned beautiful. I can't believe after all of this time I finally found her.

My Mate Taya Samson. Soon to be Taya Cave.   

 Taya Cave   

I recall our meeting in the bookstore feeling like a dick after asking my precious mate to call me Mr.Cave. I had instantly reached out for her mind upon seeing her in that bookstore. I mean God, the way she was standing there with her mouth in a perfect "o" completely engulfed in her book. While looking through her thoughts I managed to get her name but not much else. I wonder if she caught the fact that I called her by her name. Was she wearing a name tag? I pictured the beauty in my head. No, she hadn't been wearing one.    

"Becky!", I called into the intercom. "Dig up all the information you can about a girl named Taya Samson. She works at that book store on 27th".  

 "Yes Alpha", Becky replied. 

  "And Becky", I added

  "Yes Alpha", she waited for my response. 

   "Do it quickly", I insisted. 

   I wonder what she's doing right now, probably home. Maybe taking a shower after a long days work. Hmmm, I can't wait for the day we take one together. 

   Goddammit, I'm never going to get any work done if I don't stop thinking about her. How could I though? There's no way I'll be able to get her big beautiful round eyes out of my head, or that slender neck, or her full lips. God those lips, I almost died and went to heaven after walking into that store and seeing her engrossed into that book with her mouth open in awe.

   I wanted to take her right then, but she was obviously human. I needed to handle this with some tact. 

   May the Moon Goddess be with me cause fuck this is going to be hard.

   My ringtone sounded and I look at the screen and see it's my beta, Max.

   "Max-amillion, what's up", I asked. 

   "I hate that nickname so much but nothing much, just watching your mate like you asked. She has now left work and stopped at the coffee shop. It looks like she might be here a little while she has her laptop out and is sitting at a table", he informed me. 

  "I'll be there in 5", I hung up, told Becky that'd I'd be out the rest of the day, and drove towards the coffee shop.

   Once I got there I went to the corner of the shop and sat in the corner of the shop with Max and watched her.  

  "Jesse you should just go talk to her", Max told me.

   "Fuck man, I've never been this messed up about a girl ever", I confessed.   

 "This is exactly what you fucking get man. Remember when you kept fucking with me about Tawny? Now its your turn. This isn;t just any girl she's your mate and it's just going to get worse the longer you wait", my best friend said.   

 "This is different man. I can bearly think", I told him.  

 "It's not different at all. You're feeling the mating bond. Talk to her and don't be a dork", he warned.    

 "Okay, you'd think you're the Alpha", I said.

 "You're welcome", my beta said. 

   I walked over to where she was sitting. My body started tingling when I got close. I think she felt the tingling sensation also because she looked up from her laptop.   

 Damn she was a beauty. My eyes locked with hers. I sat in the chair opposite her. 

   "I hope this seat was not taken", I said. 

   "No sir, um I mean Mr. Cave, it's not. Well I guess now it is", said the beautiful siren in front of me. 

   She was so fucking cute. 

   "You're right. It is now. You're nervous, why", I asked.

  "I'm not nervous Mr. Cave. I-I just um didn't expect to see you", she explained. 

   "You know, Taya. I really don't appreciate being lied to", I explained. After a few seconds of silence my eyes caught her lips, "You have the most beautiful lips I've ever seen".

   She seemed surprised by my admission and opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. I raised an eyebrow staring at her open mouth and she snapped it shut again. I stood and walked away without saying goodbye. 

If I stayed any longer I would take her right there on that table.

   Frustrated with my lack of control, I walked along the road to my car, unlocked it and found Max in the passenger seat.

    "Becky found out that she is living with her aunt for the school year before going to college. She's 17 and her mom wouldn't let her go out of state so she decided to wait a year and go wherever she likes, she lives in that house at the end of palm lane with her Aunt Sidney and Sidney's fiance Richard", Max said in one breath. 

   My irritation at my lack of control subsided. I grew a smile. That's great, I thought. Palm lane was the closet street to the woods. Which means it's only a matter of time before she goes wandering into those woods, those woods that just so happened to be my woods.
