Alice
As we spluttered to the surface, those arms were still encircling me. It was then I looked into the most gorgeous pair of green eyes I had ever seen.-
Time stopped; my lungs had stopped breathing. Everything had stopped existing. I could not see or feel anything else besides this beautiful man standing in front of me. Not beautiful, that word would be too feminine. He was the embodiment of masculinity.
His wet and messy brown hair fell over his forehead. He was taller than me by a foot and almost three times my width. He had a warrior's body, cut from years of training. He was shirtless and wet, which was driving my wolf crazy. He had the kind of face that stopped you in your tracks, it was strong and defined with a perfect jawline.
"Mine! Mine! Mine !" My wolf screamed.
And I was suddenly wet, not because of falling in the pool. I was wet down below. Those green eyes were glued to me, and I knew he felt the same. He knew I was his mate!
"No, this can't be happening," I thought, the day had just gone worse.
"Fuck!" I blurted out.
His perfect lips ripe for the kissing, curled into a smile," sure dear, I can't wait.... mate."
Damm that voice! I nearly orgasmed.
"I am sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you." I squeaked. He raised an eyebrow.
"What did you intend to do?" His grin turned into a sly smile.
'Run...I had to run......do something.... anything.'
I jerked back, slipping out of his hold. Without looking back, I climbed out of the pool in the most ungraceful way ever, but I did not care. I had to leave. My wolf was angry, but I had to run. I heard him calling behind me. I ignored it and just ran towards the living room; my white summer dress was dripping wet. Dismissing all the questioning glances, I grabbed Emma and panted.
"We need to leave now!"
"What happened? Why are you all wet?" She asked bewildered.
"I.... I.....need to go...please," I pleaded.
There was a commotion near the poolside. I knew he was coming after me. Coming to claim me. I dragged Emma outside and ran towards our car.
"Alice! Bobby is still inside!" She yelled.
"You can come back for him later, just get me away from here...."
She started the engine as I covered my face with my hands, catching my breath. No no no... I said repeatedly. We were on the highway while Emma received a call from Bobby and explained to him how I had run away as if I had seen a ghost.
"Care to explain what happened?" She was annoyed, and my wet dress, soaking up her car seat was not helping.
"I bumped into someone," I breathed hard, trying to keep down my wolf who was ready to tear out of my body.
"So? Was it that bad that you had to run away? "
"He is my mate," I said quietly.
"What!" Emma blurted and nearly dashed the car in a tree.
"Emma! Look ahead," I screamed as we narrowly missed a tree. Emma stopped the car at the side.
"We must go back to the party," Emma said
"No! " I almost yelled.
"Who was he?" She asked cautiously.
"I don't know, and I don't even want to know," I whispered, absentmindedly.
My wolf was angry with me," how can you leave our mate? " She cribbed.
"Look, let us just pretend this never happened. Do not tell anyone. I can control my wolf. My mate...... I mean that man does not know who I am, he cannot find me. I am leaving in a few weeks anyway. So, everything will be forgotten by him."
Emma snorted," that's not how it works, princess. Now that he knows you exist; he will search heaven and earth to reach you. He would not leave you alone until you submit."
