Therapy

Chapter 3 First meeting

(Drakes POV)

I yawned and stretched at my desk, looking dismally at the piles of paperwork still on there. I had enough for now. I was due for a break. I looked out my window and saw it was beautiful out, no way I was staying cooped up in here. The paperwork could wait for a bit. I closed the door quietly behind me and jogged lightly down the stairs, eager for some fresh air. I called out casual greetings to pack members that I passed as I headed outside.

The most bizarre sight greeted my startled eyes as I saw Nate walking out of the woods carrying... a woman?

I rushed closer to see what the hell was going on when suddenly a scent hit me that nearly brought me to my knees. My wolf slammed so hard against me that I nearly shifted right then and there.

(Mate!!)

<Wait...what?>

I reached his side in a flash and automatically began pulling her into my arms with a low growl. Nate gave me a concerned look but relinquished her to my care and dropped his eyes submissively. I held her close to me, my wolf howling with joy that we had finally found our mate. She was so beautiful... I wish I could see her eyes... Wait! Why was she unconscious? Why was Nate carrying her? Who was she?

"You! Come with me!" I snapped out at him.

He trotted after me obediently as I carried her up to my room and played her gently on my bed. I could smell no injury on her so I was puzzled why she wasn't awake. I turned to Nate and frowned.

"What is her name? Why were you carrying her and why is she like this?"

He shifted uncomfortably in place before clearing his throat and saying,

"This is Dr. Cassandra Hail, the new therapist. She fainted when I shifted in front of her and I was bringing her to you. Alpha, I am so confused. This is Andrew and Jessica Hails niece but she knows nothing of our kind. Hell, she hasn't even shifted yet. It's like her wolf has somehow been trapped inside of her."

I took a minute to take all of this in and allowed myself the luxury of releasing her hair from its clip, telling myself it was only to make her more comfortable. Her eyes suddenly shot open causing me to drop the clip in my hand as I stared into the most beautiful eyes that I had ever seen. They were a bright emerald green with a ring of orange around the pupil and framed by long, thick, dark lashes. She bolted upright and her now unclipped hair fell past her shoulders and tumbled down her back in long loose waves. I immediately wanted to bury my hands in it as I kissed her perfect, pink lips.

My mate was beautiful. My mate was amazing...

My mate was looking at Nate and I like we had each grown an extra head and were planning on using all the extra teeth to snack on her...

(Cass's POV)

I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar room. Nate and some unknown man were staring down at me. Nate was looking at me like I may jump up and run away screaming. The other male was... well he was... damn I have never seen eyes like that before.

They were a sapphire blue but what made them so incredible was that there were flecks of gold in them. Ever shaken up a bottle of Goldschlager? Yea, kinda like that. He was taller then Nate standing at about six foot. His body was lean and hard in his black tee and jeans. His biceps bulged when he crossed his arms over his chest and I could see part of what looked like a tribal tattoo peeking out from under his left sleeve. His face was clean shaven though I could see the beginning of a 5 o'clock shadow starting to form. Statues could be erected in this man's honor.

I suddenly snapped out of my oogling when the thought hit me of what happened before I awoke to find myself here. I sprang off the bed in alarm causing them both to take a cautious step back.

I narrowed my eyes dangerously at Nate then stepped forward and slapped him across the face.

"Don't you ever do anything like that again without warning me first!" I shrieked.

His jaw dropped as he slowly rubbed the side of his face. The man next to him looked like he might try to restrain me if I went in for another round but I looked at him and growled.

"Don't you dare touch me! Who the hell are you and where am I"

Oh my Cass is mad. I didn't know she could be so violent. What do you guys think of Drake?

Goldschlager in case any of you don't know is a clear cinnamon liquor that has flakes of 14k gold floating in it... It packs a mean punch.

Vote? Comment? I'll give you a cupcake... VOTE IF YOU LOVE CUPCAKES!!!! ;-D
