Soul Mate

Chapter 22

Sebastian Decker.

I was currently staring at my mate who had finally appeared after disappearing into the kitchen a while ago. I couldn't help it. His face was nolonger bright red but you could still make out the residue of his blush.
He was currently waiting on a couple, three tables away but I couldn't take my eyes off him. I was just noticing how flawless his skin was, his thick brows and high cheekbones made him look extremely sexy. Not forgetting his plump lips.
His long wavy hair made me want to run my fingers through it. It looked so good and soft. The grey of his eyes was so captivating.
After all this assessment, I came to one conclusion; River Blair was beautiful. I don't know how I never noticed before.
Now that I was really looking at him, I could see it. The moon goddess must have spent a little more time on him.

" You know if you stare any harder the guy will probably turn to goo right there." Elliot says, his tone light.
That's when I notice that my mate was extremely red in the face. His ears were no exception. It was amazing how fast he blushed! Totally cute.
I smile to myself and avert my gaze.

" Now that your done checking him out, care to tell me why you kept this a secret?" Elliot asks as he sips his coffee.

" I wasn't keeping him a secret, I just wasn't ready to publically claim him." I say quietly. Now that I had said it out loud, it didn't really make sense, even to me.

After that night at the bar, I went home and questioned my actions. I realized that the reason why I wasn't giving myself a chance with him was because I was plagued with guilt over Satin's death. I blamed myself.
So I wasn't willing to let her go. But now I had to, I'd found my mate. The person the moon goddess had made for me. The person I was meant to love. I couldn't deny the bond anymore. His wolf was right, I wanted him. I desired him in every way possible.. The survivors guilt was simply holding me back. That's when I realized I had to focus on my mate. And only him.

"Cool.. am happy for you man! You deserve some happiness." he says with a smile that suddenly drops when he looks behind me.
" What's wrong" I question.

"Your guard dog!" Casper says, stiffling a giggle.
Then Elliot bursts out laughing..
These two together were something else.
I turn just in time to see Shane and Greg walk towards our table.

" Tsup guys?" Greg greets, then takes a seat at the table. we all respond. Shane doesn't say a word. I guess he's still mad that I hurt his ego the night at the bar.
I simply nod at him, he nods back then concentrates on his phone.
From the corner of my eyes, I watch my mate hesitate before finally walking over to our table.
He looks pissed.
" Welcome to Sweets & Ribs, what can I get you?" he says

" What kind of name is sweets & ribs??" Shane comments.

"I suggest you shut your mouth or i' LL shut it for you!" my mate snaps at him

Casper snorts so hard coffee comes up his nose, then bursts into laughter.
I couldn't help but smile too. My mate was something else! He could hold his own and wasn't intimidated by shane.
" Do you want to place your order or not?" he snaps.

" I'll take a coffee, cream and sugar." Greg says looking absolutely confused.

"Whatever, am out of here." Shane says and gets up to leave. He deliberately bumps into my mate as he walks out, who glares daggers at him.

" Calm down Blair.. your wolf will show if you get upset." I mind link him.

He's eyes turn to me briefly before he walks away. My eyes follow him.

"What was that all about? Did I miss something?" Greg finally asks.

" You definitely did! Sweet cheeks over there is Sebastian's mate." Casper says as he flicks his gaze to Blair.

Greg's jaw drops to the ground in shock and I have to actually pick it up for him.
" Close your mouth bud, wouldn't want something crawling in there." I say.

"What!!!" he whisper shouts, looking at me for confirmation.
I simply nod.

" Wow! That's just insane!!" he comments

I knew the feeling.
When his coffee arrives, he doesn't even make any move to drink it. He's still in shock, so I decide to change the subject.

" Greg how much do you know about wolf possession?"

Greg was the brains of this group. He knew just about everything concerning our species. His dad worked in the library where our history was stored. If anyone knew about this topic, it would be him.
He slowly looks around the table before he carefully responds.

"That's a very rare topic Seb. But I'll tell you all I know.
A wolf possession is a very unique situation where the wolf takes control of their human's body. They are able to verbaly speak instead of just through your mind. A wolf possession means both sides, the human and wolf are both dominant. The last incidence of a wolf possession was 100 years ago. A man named Padre Gonzalez. But things didn't work out so well with him. You see with a wolf possession, the wolf can possess the human body, but not vice versa. Padre's wolf over powered his human and permanently owned the human form. He became feral. The elders had to put him down."

"That's just sad" casper says, turning his coffee mug between his hands.

" Yaaa.. so that's why people are scared of wolves of this nature. They believe they will turn out like Padre. The guy killed his entire pack." Greg adds.

"Why did you want to know about wolf possession?" Elliot voices the question they all wanted an answer to.

" No reason, just curious guys." I lie.

They seem to buy the lie though.
But at the back of my mind, I was worried about my mate. I had witnessed first hand the power of his wolf. He wasn't scared of me one bit, and my Alpha command didn't work on him.
But zane seemed level headed. I needed to get to know him though.
The conversation then shifts onto other things but am no longer paying attention as my eyes scan the dinner in search of my mate. But he's nowhere to be found.
