Chapter 2

Andrew's POV

"And to think, I finally found my mate." 

I shook my head.

'No need to be thinking of this Andrew' I reminded myself. I needed to pay attention to the meeting at hand. 

I was currently in my office with my parents, Nora and my Beta, Zachary Rain. We were going over some last minute planning for the Witches arrivals tomorrow. Every year, for the past 300 years or so, Witches would come and thank us for our help in saving them during the Trials. I didn't feel it was necessary for them to constantly come but they did.

And none of them were who I was looking for. 

"Nora darling, do you think you could set up the tables outside with your magic?" My mother asked hopefully.

"Of course ma'am." Nora bowed her head in respect. 

Nora was an immortal Witch who has been with our family ever since the Trials saved her. She's never once argued or left our side since then. She always wears a long sleeved dark dress with a white neck line, her black hair in a tight bun and never complains. Rather than a servant or maid, she's like family to us, though she never counts herself as one. She says she'd rather be a maid. Of course we never treat her like one.

"Come darling. Let's set up the tables then." My mother practically skipped outside with Nora walking respectfully behind her. 

I looked back towards my father who was shaking his head at my mother with an amused and loving expression. I felt that same pang in my heart every time I saw the love in his eyes. If only...

"So Andrew, are you excited this year?" He asks me smiling, snapping me out of my thoughts. 

I nodded, "Hopefully I'll find her." I replied smiling. 

My father smiled sadly at me, "Hopefully you will." He patted my shoulder, changing the subject to Alpha duties.

I just wanted tomorrow to come quickly. I wanted to find her, so badly. I desperetly wanted to simply meet her, if that was even possible.

The next day come too slowly for my liking. I was dressed in a black dress shirt and dark jeans. We didn't need to dress to formal; the Witches always insisted we dressed comfortably in case we needed to shift but we never need to. Wolves weren't stupid enough to risk an attack on us when there were hundreds of Witches in our territory. Even Rogues wouldn't risk it. 

After putting some wax in my hair I went downstairs. Nora was waiting for me when I got there. I smiled at her as she bowed her head as usual.

"Sir, the tables are set and some of my Sisters have already arrived. They are outside and currently waiting your arrival. Flower's and gifts that were sent are in the main library" She said with a smile. 

"Thank you Nora." I replied, walking towards the front door eagerly.

"She won't come." Nora suddenly said, making me stop on my tracks. 

Slowly I turned to look at her. She didn't move from where she was standing and was looking straight ahead. 

"The girl you wish to see," She said turning her head to look at me, "She won't come." 

"I know." I whispered after a minute. "But I can only hope." I swallowed. 

Nora stared at me for a little longer before smiling sadly at me, "Forgive me for speaking out of turn sir." She bowed once again.
