"Shift," he said calmly, taking interest in the woman standing before him. He could tell his mate was yet to undergo a testing ceremony and this could only one thing she was very young.
How was he going to explain this to his pack? The look on his old man's face he can see the council going haywire. Is he going to be able to wait years to mate, his mate? What is she doing in the middle of the woods anyway?
Laila smiled shamelessly admiring her mate. He wore a trench coat that clung to his big physique. Her mate had a chiselled jawline and a thick nose. He looked like a man. Unlike Peyton, he was dark and mysterious.
Before he found the answers to his multitude of questions she listened to his command shifting as naked as the day she was born, in front of him. Soft dark skin and coily hair that fell to her shoulders. She looked up and smiled timidly, Nate didn't smile this time he looked away. Not before sharing his ability to dryness with her.
He nodded his head, inviting her to follow him to his car. He opened the door for her and let her slide onto his heated seats, naked. And in the blink of an eye, he was seated in the passager seat.
"My mom told me to never get into cars with strangers," she mumbled as if she was talking to herself, she turned to face him. "I guess that ethos goes out the window when you're mated to said stranger huh?" she chuckled when she released he wasn't laughing she stopped and looked towards her lap, for such a powerful being she easily allowed a stranger to have such a large impact on her. Laila wasn't usually like this.
"Hold old are you," he said suddenly
"I'll be-
"Answer the question" he interrupted bluntly.
"I'm 20"
He leaned back in silence, she took this as an opening "Ill be 21 in two weeks"
He shook his head in confusion, how can she be 20 and not have had a heritage ceremony?
Nate nodded. Still staring straight, he has yet to think about where he is going now he has his mate in his car, he knows he can not take her home, back to the pack until she is marked. He can't have the pack thinking he is sleeping with someone who has not been blessed by the moon Gods.
The testing ceremonies were to see how strong a supernatural being is they're like a christening, it invites the person soul to the Gods so they can find their mate easily. Which is why Nate couldn't find her. It's also the reason why she smelt so...fresh.
He looked to his right and remembered she was still naked, he took off of his jacket and handed it to her. The car was far from cold. Due to the heat, he was emitting. A mate's instinct is to regulate their temperature to make sure their mate is warm.
