“I don’t know what’s wrong,” I mumbled. “I’ve been pissed off since I woke up this morning. Jared is restless, but he doesn’t know either.”
“Keep it together until after the meeting,” Dylan said.
I clenched my fists and stayed silent.
He was right, but he was really pissing me off.
We were almost at the arranged spot when Jared stirred.
‘What’s wrong?’I asked.
‘Something is going to happen,’Jared said, growling quietly.‘Be careful.’
“Guard up, Dylan,” I told him. “Jared said that something was going to happen.”
Dylan’s head snapped in my direction.
“What?” he asked, his eyes widening.
“I said, guard up,” I growled at him. “Stop staring at me, and be careful.”
I could smell and hear Alpha Henry’s pack members, who were already waiting for us on the other side of the border.
There was one smell that stood out. It smelled of mango with a hint of watermelon. Why the fuck was I smelling mango and watermelon in the middle of the fucking forest?!
I rushed toward the meeting spot when my whole world completely shifted.
My eyes fell on a woman standing next to Jason, Alpha Henry’s chief of patrol.
She was fucking beautiful. Her scent made me drool. Every fucking thing that worried me just dissipated.
I heard her gasp. I watched as she turned around and looked at me.
Goddess, she was gorgeous. Her black hair was cut into a short bob. Her green eyes melted with the forest around us.
I was totally and completely in love with her.
“Mate,” we said at the same time.
I heard people around us gasp, but I didn’t pay even the slightest attention to them. I could only see her. I only wanted to listen to her voice.
I hurried toward her. I couldn’t fucking wait to touch her. I couldn’t wait to feel her skin on mine.
She smiled and reached out for me.
I grabbed her hand and pulled her into a hug.
My whole body tingled. A pleasurable shiver went up and down my spine. Every ache in my body disappeared.
I buried my nose into her hair and took a deep breath.
“Well, now we know why you were so nervous since you woke up this morning,” Dylan snorted, making Jason laugh.
“Was he?” Jason asked. “Rose was on edge the whole day too.”
Rose? Her name was Rose?
I let her go and looked down at her. I smiled and caressed her cheek.
