“Compliments of the gentleman at that corner” I looked up, and my gaze followed the waiter’s pointing finger.
Seated a few tables away was a handsome man with kind green eyes and a warm smile. He lifted his glass slightly in acknowledgement, watching me and waiting for my reaction. I hesitated for a moment before I smiled in return and nodded my thanks.
As I ate, I could feel the mysterious man stealing glances at me. When I glanced up, my gaze caught with his, but he didn’t look away. The intensity in his eyes caused me to flush slightly as I quickly snapped my gaze away.
I decided to avoid looking in his direction till I left, no matter how hard it was proving to be.
“Forgive me for intruding, but I really need to ask,” A smooth deep voice murmured, and I tensed slightly. I lifted my head to see HIM standing at the other end of my table. From his scent, I knew he was a werewolf. A very powerful and sexy werewolf.

“What’s a gorgeous lady like you doing here all alone?” He asked with a soft smile.
I smiled politely. “My mate couldn’t make it.” I replied.
“Do you mind if I join you then?” He asked softly, with an earnest expression in his eyes.
