Chapter 10


    KADEN’S PO.V


    I wanted to clean off the blood so when she finally looked on me, she would not be scared. I could


    only imagine how terrifying it would be for her to see her mate for the first time caked in the blood of


    the rogues who had tried to chase her. didn’t know much about her but I knew that she was fragile


    and she would fear.


    I sunk under the water to get clean and clear my head. It was something I had been doing since I


    was a child. I would go under water and just allow the noise cancel out. I didn’t know how long I was


    under but I stayed until I couldn’t anymore and I came out.


    As soon as I did, her scent hit me like a freight train and it took everything in my power to stop my


    wolf from charging at her like a crazed man. Her scent was the most tantalizing thing I have ever


    had the privilege ofing across. She smelled divinely feminine with berries and flowers and an


    underlying scent that I have nevere across before. Most wolves I came across nowadays bathe


    themselves in artificial perfumes that drown out their natural scent but whatever she was using


    seemed to enhance it.


    I could clearly see that she was awake in the car because her eyes had caught mine. She was


    staring wide eyed and I could see the rapid rise and fall of her chest. I hoped she recognized me in


    my human form but I couldn’t tell because I couldn’t get a clear read on her from the distance.


    As I got closer, her scent got stronger and I knew without a doubt that I wanted to have this girl. I


    wanted everything about her and I wanted to bottle up that scent and keep it to myself. Something


    about her scent called to me and I knew that it was mine to keep. I had never put much thought to


    having a mate before but now that I had her, I never wanted to let her go. She stared at me with


    wide eyes and I took her in. I finally took her in for the first time. She was small with curves in all the


    right ces and the leggings she wore entuated her rounded hips. I couldn’t help but think about


    how they would feel in my palms.


    I couldn’t make out her features well because of how dark it was but I knew that when I got closer, I


    would see everything I needed to. Our eyes locked and I noticed that they were brown and wide,


    almost shaped like the innocent eyes of a doe.


    I smiled at her and she turned on her heels and ran. I was annoyed that she had ran from me a


    second time and I tried to calm my wolf down as I watched her figure retreat from me. It took all my


    willpower not to chase after her the way I wanted to but I knew I would just terrify her more.


    My wolf wanted nothing more than to shift and chase after her but I realized how hard I was. It was


    embarrassing how just her scent had managed to get me harder than I have been in my entire life. I


    couldn’t risk shifting because my wolf form amplifies my emotions and desires and I don’t want to


    catch up to her while sporting a raging boner. I tried to calm myself down but her scent lingered in


    the valley and my erection refused to dete.


    I almost ran after her n*ked and in human form but I heard the chirping of birds above me and I


    knew that they were ra’s spies. Thest thing I want is for her to see me n*ked. I forced my


    frustration down and swam over to the other side of theke where my clothesy.


    I hid behind a tree and dressed up. By the time I got back to the car, her scent had faded into the


    wind and I knew I wouldn’t be able to find her by myself. The thought frustrated me and like a creep,


    I found myself sniffing the inside of her car to retain her scent.


    It hit me that she was a stranger in the pack and must not know her way around so I mind linked


    Caleb.


    “The girl got onto our territory. She crashed her car in the woods but she ran out on foot. I want her


    found and brought to


    me.”


    I could feel his confusion through the link. “Do you have any idea what direction she went in? it will


    be easier for me to search for her if I know where she is going.”


    “She went south, I doubt she will leave the woods so check south of theke with the waterfall.”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “Of course,” he spoke but he didn’t cut off the link and I knew there was more that he wanted to say.


    “Is there a reason that you’re so interested in the girl? I thought this was about the rogues but it


    seems that I was wrong.”


    “My reason doesn’t matter. Can you find her or not?”


    “I will have my men search for her immediately. She will be brought to you as soon as she is


    found.”


    I trusted Caleb and he had the best team of spies in the entire werewolf kingdom. I knew if anyone


    could find my mate then


    it would be them.


    “One more thing, try not to scare her.”


    Never in my life had I worried about scaring someone before and Caleb knew that because his


    surprise knew no lengths. I. could feel the curiosity shift into awareness and amusement.


    “She is your mate, isn’t she?” he asked but I was in no mood to tolerate his teasing.


    “Find her, Caleb, then we can discuss.”

    cut off the mind link and reluctantly made my way back into the pack.
