“As long as you don’t hurt anyone, of course,” he added, giving me a stern look.
I smiled and nodded. “I would never do that. I respect and admire you, Alpha Logan. I would like us to work together in the future.”
He looked me up and down. His face was expressionless. I couldn't tell what he was thinking.
“We will see about that, Alpha Hunter,” he said.
“I would appreciate even a consideration,” I said, smiling politely.
Alpha Logan nodded.
“How is your father?” Luna Emma asked, making me look at her.
“He is very well,” I said. “He and my mom are enjoying their retirement.”
“I am happy to hear that,” she said politely.
I liked her. I liked them both. I was grateful for the opportunity that they had given me.
“Please go inside and freshen up,” Luna Emma said. “One of our staff members will show you to your room.”
“Thank you,” I said as I bowed a little.
I was just about to walk away from them when an amazing scent made me freeze completely.
It was amazing. It smelled like a field of violets.
What the hell was that?
Holden stirred and tensed up.
“Is everything okay, Alpha Hunter?” I heard Luna Emma’s voice.
“What’s that smell?” I mumbled, looking around.
I wanted to find it. I wanted to fill my lungs with it.
“Smell?” Alpha Logan asked, confused.
And then I saw her.
Everything else around me faded away as my eyes locked on her. My heart skipped a beat, and I felt a rush of emotions wash over me: excitement, nervousness, and a deep sense of connection.
Her beauty was radiant and mesmerizing. Her features were delicate and perfect. Her eyes sparkled, drawing me in and making me feel as if she and I were the only people in the world.
Time seemed to stand still as I took in the sight of her. I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think.
All I saw was her. All I wanted was her.
When her beautiful green eyes met mine, I thought that I would explode with happiness.
She was mine.
That beautiful angel was mine.
“Mate,” we said at the same time and I felt a huge smile spread across my face.
I wanted to rush toward her. I wanted to hold her. I wanted to press my lips against her and taste her.
