Compelled by the smell, I began following it, growing more confused with each step as it led me toward the area reserved for the upper-ranking wolves. I hesitated for a moment, but my wolf urged me forward, so I mindlessly continued with my heart pounding. Suddenly, I collided with something—someone—tall and solid. My face landed squarely against his firm chest, and the scent hit me full force, making my heart race faster.
Before I could react, his strong arms wrapped around me in a hug. The sensation was unfamiliar but undeniable. This man… he was my mate. My pulse quickened as I tilted my head up to meet his gaze, but when I saw his face, my entire body went cold. A shiver ran down my spine, and in shock, I pushed him away.
No. This couldn’t be happening.
But he gently reached for my hand, his touch soft despite the strength in it. “My wolf stirred the moment you bumped into me,” He said, his deep voice calm yet intense. “You are my mate.”
It was Alpha Evan.
