The light shown through a small slit in the blinds. I looked over Dani and Damien were still sleeping. I slipped out the door and walked down to this little coffee shop. The smell of fresh coffee filled the air. It was a welcome smell better than fire, blood and death. I entered the small shop and looked around I didn't recognize a single person or the shop at all. How is that possible? How far did we run? "Can I help you?" I looked up I didn't see anyone. I glanced around then from behind the counter a woman stood up facing the row of machines in the back. A sweet aroma filled my nose. "I'll be there to help you in a sec." That voice angelic. I thought to myself. "Hunter!" I heard echo in my head. "Damien I'm down at the coffee shop." "Alpha you shouldn't be alone right now." Damien preached. "I couldn't stay put any longer needed to clear my head." "We're on our way Alpha."
"Ok, sorry about that. I had just started another brew when you walked in." The woman behind the counter said. MATE. Wait. What. My body pulsed.. my mind screamed, MATE. I was confused, frozen, clouded."What can I get for you?" That voice snapping me back focusing on this gorgeous woman standing behind the counter in front of me. I shook it off. "Cccan I get 3 medium white mochas all with an extra shot of espresso." Ding Ding. The door opened, Damien and Dani walked in. "Alp--Hunter. We need to start heading out." I turned, trying to forget what just happened. I went to step towards Dani and Damien when i couldn't move forward. A hand was on my wrist, soft and warm yet strong and firm. A spark shot up my arm, warm sensation filling my core. I turned, the woman had stepped out from behind the counter and held my wrist, preventing me from moving away. Now that she was closer her eyes glistened, shades of green hints of blue and yet there is a fire dancing. Her smell surrounds me, like I'm standing in a field during the rain. The clean, brisk, cool and refreshing, yet a hint of smoke from a smoldering fire smell........ amazing.
"Alpha we need to get moving." Damien said. "I can't Damien....... ... Mate." He grinned; "Of course you would fine your mate now." Dani grinned. "You two leave now and make the meeting. I'll join as soon as I can." "Alpha, thats no---" "I said GO!" My Alpha came out. "Yes Alpha." The woman had the coffees ready and handed them to Damien and Dani. They thanked her and left. She turned back to me; "You want to get out of here?" She asked. "Yes." I said. She lead me to her car and she drove about an hour out of town and turned off on to a dirt road. She pulled up next to a huge tree and stopped the car. She turned to me, looked deep into my eyes. She placed her hand on mine, i felt the spark and heat rising. I saw her eyes change from those green to a deep orange red. I swear I saw flames dancing in her eyes. "Do you feel it?" She asked running her hand up my arm. "Yes." I replied.
She smiled then got out of the car. I simply followed, I would follow her any where and do anything to protect her. She moved towards the tree then started to shift. Wow she was gorgeous. She was just barely shorter than me. 5'6" if I had to guess. She was build well, not as muscled as me but still strong. And her hair, darker red but as she shifted turned into a brilliant red shiny coat. I could see flecks of orange, yellow and her paws that started out black. She was a wonder. As she shifted I didn't even will myself I simply shifted. I was taller than her in wolf form. I was drawn to her. She laid down under the tree, instinctually I walked around and laid behind her. Wrapping myself around her as much I could. As we touched that electric heat washed over my body. I smiled and laid my head in the crook of her neck.
"You know what this means?" I jumped a little hearing a different voice in my head. She looked up at me. I stared back into those eyes, which now flickered almost dancing with flames. "I will protect you. I will fight for you. I will stay by your side and I will love you for the rest of our lives." She looks up at me her eyes even more alive, she whispers; "And I will do the same for you. Now mark me." Her tone was calm yet rough and commanding. My whole body felt static when she said that. I could feel her body calling to mine. Her smell was so intoxicating. I lifted my head and nuzzled her neck. She tensed with anticipation. I sunk my teeth in deep, she moaned . I released my bite and licked her mark. She nuzzled me back. "What's your name?" I asked as I finished cleaning the mark I left. "Ember." She said. Perfect I thought, it fit everything about her.
