Now, I feel cheated somehow. But I guess I shouldn’t. I mean, the answers were true and are some of my deepest fantasies. And if I can fantasize about a Werewolf, then who am I to judge if someone wants to pretend to be one.Maybe that’s what Michelle meant about finding my true match, someone who likes role-playing as a Werewolf.
I take a deep breath as I get closer to the music. When I approach the large double doors, men dressed in all black tuxedoes with tails and white gloves open them. I notice they are exceptionally tall and devastatingly handsome.
As a matter of fact, all of the people who work here have been remarkably good-looking. Flawless skin, sexy bodies, not a hair out of place. Everyone seems to be a walking advertisement for sex.
“Oh Lord, I hope this isn’t a sex trafficking ring with weird fetishes,” I mumble as I walk into the room. I could’ve sworn I heard one of the men chuckle, but there’s no way he heard me over the loud music playing.
The music comes from a live band on a raised stage in the front of the room. People are dancing and mingling. It looks like everyone is having a good time, so it puts me a little more at ease. Nobody looks out of place or most importantly, nobody looks like they’re about to kidnap me and transport me to some random Eastern European country, so I guess I can relax and find myself a drink.
I make my way over to the bar on the far side of the room and order a fruity concoction. I don’t want to get drunk because I’m still unsure of what’s happening. But I will roll with it for now, especially because I promised Bianca I would keep an open mind.
The bartender gives me my Tutti Frutti, and I sip the strawberry mixture slowly as I look around the room. All of a sudden, it feels like all the hair on my body stands on end. I look around because I can feel the air in the room change. It’s like someone infused electricity directly into the atmosphere, and I just breathed it in.
“I can’t believe it’s you…”
I can hardly decipher the words through the deep growly voice, but when I turn to see who said them, my breath catches, and my heart nearly explodes it’s beating so fast. I have never laid eyes on this man ever in life, but I can tell by his glowing hazel gaze that my world will never be the same.
CHAPTER 4
TRUE MATES
CRAIG
The Vampire consultant, Michelle, leads me into the room where my true mate is supposed to be. I don’t know if I’m hesitant to believe her because she’s a Vamp or because I can’t believe I’m finally about to meet my true mate. Maybe now Alpha can calm his ass down.
“I’m sure you can find your way to your mate from here. It’s been a pleasure, Mr. Dossett,” Michelle says before disappearing in a flash.
I can feel her presence as soon as the doors close behind me.My true mate is here!I don’t need to be told where she is because my instincts lead me directly to her. It takes all of me to not shift. Alpha is howling so loud that I have to plead with him to shut the hell up. I can feel his excitement, and for the first time in a long time, it matches my own.
I see a woman standing at the bar wearing hot pink. Her brown skin is glowing, and I can’t wait to taste every inch of it. I don’t have to see her face to know she’s beautiful. I don’t have to see her face to know she’s mine. I don’t have to see her face to know she’s my forever.
“I can’t believe it’s you,” I growl.
My wolf is so close to the surface that I know my eyes are glowing. I’m glad we met in a supernatural safe environment because this is the first time since I was a pup that I don’t have control over my wolf.
The beauty turns around, and her brown eyes widen before she whispers, “Ummm. Your eyes are glowing.”
“I can’t help that, sweetheart. You bring out the beast in me,” I growl once more.
“Uh… ar-are you my match?” She questions, unsure.
“Yes, and you are mine.”
I sniff the air like the animal that I am. I can smell her sweet essence and the fact that she’s turned on. I can also smell something troublesome.
“You’re human…”
She looks at me strangely then a wrinkle forms between her brows. She nervously looks around, then instead of stepping away in fear as I imagined she would, she steps closer to me. She’s so short that she has to get on her tiptoes to whisper in my ear. It’s cute as fuck, but I could hear her whisper from across the room if I wanted to.
“Those are contacts, right? That’s why your eyes look like that? This is the role-playing scenario. Is there something I should be doing? The consultant didn’t really go into detail about who I would be meeting or what to do. Well, she did say something about my Werewolf preferences, but…”
“You have a Werewolf preference, huh?”
“I know it sounds crazy, but I’ve never done anything like this. We matched, but they didn’t even tell me your name.”
She puts her hand out for me to shake, and I take it and kiss the back. When my lips touch her silky soft skin, Alpha loses his damned mind!
“Mate!”Alpha howls.
