Chapter 4 - This chick

Cole's Pov

Waking up this morning the last thing I would have expect was meeting my mate. I've traveled the world looking for her and she has been here all along right under my nose. Since our incounter this morning I have not rest to search for her. She lost me pretty easily in the woods which is impressive since Xanthan my wolf is the best tracker in the pack. Pacing up and down my office anger starts to build up inside of me at the thought of her running away. Why did she run?Does that mean she will reject me?Just thinking about that makes me furious. No I won't give her the chance too, ill mark her and make her mine. I'm not letting her getaway that easily. But danm her wolf is gorgeous. Long golden fur, beautiful eyes and she smelled like sweets with a hint of roses. Her sent alone drives me crazy.

(knock knock)

"Alpha it's me may I come in".

That is Jake he is my Beta and best friend we have been running the pack together for a while and he is mated to Esme' she is a childhood friend of ours. Jake was lucky enough that he grew up with his mate without even knowing it. On his 16th birthday when he saw Esme' he picked her up and claimed her right then and there and they have been together ever since. Esme' is one of the strongest warriors in the pack but since she got pregnant a few months ago she stepped back from her duties but still helps to train the younger generation, and let me tell you she is brutal with the trainees but they always excel in the end which is one of the reasons why our pack is the strongest in America.

"Sure Jake". Even though we are best friends the only time Jake calls me Alpha is when something serious happens. He walks closer to my desk and hands me a file.

"I've done what you asked for, do you want the good news or the bad news".

I've asked Jake to look into Miss Dean Samantha's Professor. After our incounter this morning I want to make sure she isn't someone to cause trouble usually I don't mind humans on my territory but there is something about her that makes me curious.

"What is the good news?"

Jake plopped himself down in the guest chair looking calm as always

"I can't find any dirt on your professor. And I've looked man I asked everyone I know and she is clean".

"Then what is the bad news then"?

Jake smirks at me before answering

"That's just it, it's too clean I didn't find any records of her anywhere. A buddy of mine that is in the Black sage pack in New York told me they had a human matching her description but he doesn't know her name nor did he know she left New York".

"So what you are telling me is, you have nothing on this woman"?

Jake stood up from the chair and folded his arms.

"What I am telling you is that this chick either has friends in high places that sealed her records or Jassemine Dean is a ghost".

Jassemine Pov

My incounter with Mister big bad wolf didn't go so well. Me and my big mouth now he is definitely not going to leave me in peace. It's just a matter of time before our mate bond breaks through my human sent. Sure it will still work on other supernatural creatures so I'm not concerned about my safety but he will definitely start to smell me. Fuck what should I do should I maybe move again?

"Absolutely not"!

Calla starts to agrue with me she is very passionate about our mate.

"Calla I know what you are feeling I don't want to leave either but we have to do what is the best for us and for him if the elders...."

"Fuck the elders you know well as I do we can take all of those grumpy old men".

I start to giggle but still try to reason with her.

"Yes I am aware but the elders are not the problem. If it's true that gods are running the show we will put everyone we know and love at risk we might even start a war".

"Jassemine please we have been waiting for our mate since forever and now he is here. He can protect us he will be the person to save us".

I start to get angry

"At what cost! What if he dies trying to save us what if we are the reason his pack get killed look at mother she says she is fine but I can see the pain in her eyes of loosing father I am not as strong as her if I were to loose him then..." before I could finish my sentence tears start to form in my eyes making me loose my cool.

" If.. If he dies then what is the point of living anymore"!

Calla starts to moan in pain this is the first time we have fought like this. We always had a good relationship and we rarely bicker but talking about him just makes our emotions go everywhere.

"I'm sorry Jassemine I didn't think about that but please don't let us leave. Just knowing he is close by is good enough for me".

"Okys as for now we don't have to talk about this just yet".

After I pulled myself together I walk out of my office onto the parking lot towards my car. Today has been a lot and I just want to get home and take a shower. Before I reach my door handle I hear a blood curling scream. I look into the woods trying to pin point the scream but the sound turned into wolfs howling. Fuck I think there are rogues attacking someone we have to go help.

"But what if someone sees us Jassemine"?

"Are you serious Calla how can we let someone get killed if we could have saved them. And besides I won't leave anyone alive to spread gossip around".

Calla agrees and start running.

"Danm it's been a long time since I was able to show my strength I hope these wolfs know what they are in for".

I just smirk knowing that these rogues chose the wrong day to get involved with me.
