You're Mine

I was sitting in the cafeteria with Sienna when I felt the energy shift. Within moments, the most beautiful girl I had ever seen walked right in front of my eyes and I couldn't even hear Sapphire's introduction of her over my wolf roaring in my head, THIS IS MY MATE.

I wanted more than anything to wrap my arms around her right then and kiss her and tell her that she was my love, my mate, and that I would make her my future luna. However, the smell of her humanity was intoxicating and her essence overwhelmed my senses. Everything about her was perfect and I wanted nothing more than to embrace her and show her all of my affection, but I stayed glued to my chair unsure of how to move forward in this setting. An overwhelming sense of completion surrounded me in her presence and everything in my world stopped at the sight of her.

It was very clear to my sisters, Sienna and Sapphire, as well as Alice what happened when our eyes met. I had never been as appreciative of Sapph as I was in that moment when she had Rose and I follow her to my truck in the parking lot and left us alone to encounter the explosivity of knowing each other in private.

I wanted to go to her, to touch her in every way that I could and to claim her as mine. My wolf was dying to feel her and my heart was aching to be with her. But I also felt empathy for her in that moment when I realized that she would be feeling all of the same emotions as me without knowing that we were mates. She would have no idea why she was experiencing such strong supernatural emotions. So I craved to be there for her and to be a safe and calm place for her as she unpacked the mate connection.
