Hunter’s POV

The doors in front of us groaned open revealing an empty ballroom, a pair of elders walked out into the middle of the room an equal distance from each of the packs. “Welcome Orbis Packs, to this monumental meeting, it is every hundred years that we come together as a whole, it is to discuss the laws and to exchange members in return for others, the mating between packs is encouraged as to keep the bloodlines strong” The man with black as night hair said before his mate took over.

“We hope that you all find happiness and that the Alpha meetings benefit every pack, please enjoy yourselves and do not start any fights, this is sacred land at sacred height and no fight has been waged here since the dawn of our time, Thank you and Enjoy” The woman pulled up her hood her pale blonde hair shining white under the bright lights of the ballroom.

As their steps echoed out of the room and the doors to the elders wing closed, all the doorways came to life pouring out packs, I took a step to the side of the doorway and let my pack filter through watching as they all walked off into the crowd.

I walked through the crowds letting my wolf take a little control so he could recognise any scents, after about 20 minutes of searching I started over toward a gorgeous girl from my pack, after a few minutes of conversation I heard the distinct sound of heels against the marble floor.

Although there where hundreds of girls in here almost all of them wearing heels I could single out this pair easily, dismissing the girl in front of me I followed my ears away and started to use my nose, a gorgeous scent full of cinnamon and spices hit my nose and I knew what was happening, my eyes met the most stunning chocolate brown eyes, behind a black lacy mask.

I grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward a bathroom, trying to ignore the sparks running up my arms long enough to pull her into the room, as soon as we where both inside I had my lips on hers as I locked the door behind me.

Grabbing her thighs and lifting her light frame up and placed her carefully on the bathroom counter, my wolf took more and more control, moving my hands further and further up her legs, kissing down her throat to the base of her neck. I was surprised when she pushed me back with such force when I grazed her neck with my canines.

It surprised me most because it was in her nature to want me to mark her but that was the thing that made her come back into her human self. I watched her as she scanned over me, I admired her ash brown hair and her perfect body. Taking in a deep breath I smelt her delicious scent of cinnamon, I let out a silent growl as she finally realized who I was.

“Alpha Hunter” she lightly gasped, a smirk graced my lips, she knew who I was, that means she was a little high up in the pack rankings. “Yes my love, Alpha Hunter of the Ignis Pack and you will soon be Luna my love…” I trailed off not knowing her name, only knowing that my wolf had taken control and moved my hand up to stroke her face gently I saw a small shiver run through her body, clearly I was having the same effect she was on me.

“No…No, No NO” she started quietly ending up in a full on yell, chanting the word no at me, she pushed me away with her small legs and slid off the bench gracefully, making her way to the door. I wouldn’t let my mate get away that easily and finally I was agreeing with my wolf on his actions, pulled her waist back toward me, making her back hit into my chest lightly.

Bending my head down a nuzzling into her neck I savoured the delicious scent before whispering “Mea Lunae ignis cordis dic nomen amica” I knew she would be able to understand Latin; it was the wolves word, or wolf language. I saw as she visibly shivered from my words, I continued to pepper light kisses on her neck letting the mating bond take effect.

“I’m sorry” she whispered lightly before pushing me back with force and into the back wall of the bathroom before running out and slamming the door shut. I was stunned for a minute from both my head colliding with the tiled wall and how much strength my beautiful mate had even though she was so small.

I picked myself up and rushed to the door, opening the door was taking to much time so from my anger I kicked the door off its hinges, sending it clattering into the ballroom. The whole room stopped and turned toward me.

My chest rose and fell in deep breaths as I tried to catch her scent, her spicy scent was now dispersed through the room perfectly, I had a smart mate obviously. My eyes caught a burst of movement, it was her, she was already halfway to the door, I growled a little and started after her.

By the time the cold air met my burning skin, I could see a car hightailing out of the parking lot and heading toward the highway. I shifted on the spot and started running after my gorgeous mate, as we got closer and closer to the highway more cars joined the road.

I kept to the shadows until the road melted into the highway full of speeding cars, I stopped moving and looked above the cars, I couldn’t see her, I couldn’t find her scent mixed with the thick smell of exhaust and fuel.

My wolf let out a long and lonely howl, hoping our mate would come back, after realising she wouldn’t I slowly trudged back toward the Elders Land. I waited outside The Culmen listening to the party inside in wolf form feeling each time as a member of my pack mated.

No one came back for hours, my mother started calling me through the pack link, ‘Darling come back inside, you have the rest of the week to find her, and she won’t be able to hide forever’. Convincing my wolf was harder until I made it clear that we would find her tomorrow, I picked up my heavy legs, and made my way into the Ignis Pack Rooms, climbing slowly into the comfortable bed and shifting under the covers letting the light sheets float down onto my bare skin.

Closing my eyes lightly I imagined her beautiful chocolate eyes and the way they shone in the light, imagined her ash brown hair rolling in waves down her back her tanned skin glowing in the sunshine, how well she would be able to be introduced to the pack because of her sense of confidence and power even with her small yet feminine figure.

Letting my mind wander over my perfect mate, I let her calming cinnamon scent lull me to sleep.
