Dark Alpha Mate

Chapter 2

Clementine's POV:

I only snapped out of it when the noise in the bushes started to sound louder. I stood up and readied myself in a fighting stance, I know it was silly of me since anyone from the Midnight Moon pack wouldn't really attack me but I still didn't take any chances.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?" I shouted at the person coming closer. I sniffed the air trying to decipher if the scent was from the people I met earlier. What shocked me was not because this scent is new to me and isn't from the previous people I met, but it was because of how shockingly delicious the scent is. It smells like milky smooth chocolate with the hint of fresh mint and leaves, the scent gave me shivers through out my body that I started having goose bumps.

"L-let me se-see you.." I shakily ordered to the person hiding from the bushes. For some weird reason, my whole body's shaking, I can't really figure out if it's because of excitement or pleasure or fear, my minds' all jumbled up just from the scent of the person in the bushes.

Out of the bushes stepped a man that was so tall, he's probably about 6'5. He was the most beautiful man I've ever seen in my life and I know I'm not exaggerating things. He has a really sharp face, I bet his jaw line could cut my fingers once I touch it. He has a hair that's as black as mine and his piercing grey eyes are something to die for. He just stood there near the bushes staring at me, he was clenching his teeth so hard that I could see some of his veins in his neck.

He was wearing a black v-neck shirt and black jeans, everything about him screams dark and sexy. It was then that clicked to me that this guy right here is my mate.

"Mine" he growled out, his voice made me tremble in such a good way. This guy is making my head spin just from hearing a single word from him, he started to move closer to me and my breathing stopped for a second when he stood inches away from me. His delicious scent wafted over my nose and his body heat radiated over me and all I ever want is for him to hold me close and claim me.

"Mine" I managed to speak up after a few minutes, we were both staring at each other so hard. Either of us wouldn't want to back down from our staring contest. He managed to give me a breath taking smile when he heard what I said, and I can finally die right here right now. He has deep dimples in both of his cheeks making him look really irresistible, he genuinely looked really happy that I'm his mate and that just made me want to melt into a puddle.

He raised his hand and gave my cheek a caress, sparks suddenly shot through me and just that made my eyes turn darker from want. When he saw my eyes it felt like he realized it and soon after his eyes turned darker as well, his hand moved from my cheek to my neck sending even more heat from my body. I closed my eyes just enjoying the feel of my mate's hand in my neck, I sighed from contentment.

"You're so breath-takingly beautiful mate. What's your name?" as he continues to caress my neck and shoulder. Touching just those parts wasn't enough for me, I was starting to crave for more.

"Clementine. Clementine Rowle, and you?" I was shocked I was able to tell him my name properly, I was too shaken up just from the feel of my mate.

"Beautiful" he lifted up some strands of my black hair and he smelled and kissed it, I think I'm now officially a tomato. His effect on me is just too shocking, I've never once felt and been this way around a male.

"You not only smell so deliciously tempting but you also look and sound one as well" his voice was deep and manly and it just gives me goose bumps after goose bumps. I was curious as to what I smell like to him, he probably noticed my confused face.

"You smell like strawberries and vanilla. The smell of strawberry is the most powerful though.. seeing your extremely red lips I can definitely say it fits your delicious scent my gorgeous mate." The possessiveness in his voice was so evident and I could feel like bursting into happiness.

"You haven't told me your name yet, don't tell me you're a wanted criminal that's why you don't wanna tell me?" I raised one eyebrow and snickered at him.

He started to chuckle a bit from that and his laugh was just the most amazing sound I've ever heard.

"The name's Thunder, love. Thunder Lockridge" the endearment he used just made my eyes water. I feel so loved already, is it weird that I just feel so happy that I can feel like he's glad that I'm his mate?

"Thunder" I rasped out, the roll of his name on my tongue was foreign and yet so sweet. I stopped for a bit and tilted my head to the side. Thunder? Why does it sound so familiar?
