Chapter 2

** AMELIA**

Tom and I are the first to arrive at the restaurant. Sophia made a reservation in a cosy restaurant out of town. The decor and the lights are really nice. The waitress guided us to our table on a corner.

“Are you sure that it is our table? The reservation must have been made for four people.” Tom asks.

“The reservation was modified an hour ago, they asked us to add a place.” the waitress answers and leaves us.

Tom sits next to me, frowning. “Did Sophia tell you who is supposed to join us?”

“She hasn’t told me anything. I am as surprised as you are.” I answer.

I wonder who is joining us; she told me that it would only be us tonight. As we are waiting for Sophia, Alec and the surprised guest, Tom and I are chatting about university and how excited he is to join his dad on the Alpha missions.

“As I turned 18 my dad accepted to let me in. He started to train me to take his place, as soon as I am ready. I participated in the meeting, last week, with Alec and his Alpha, Noah.” he explained to me.

“Wow I’m happy for you Tom you really seem thrilled about it. I know that is what you always wanted” I tell him honestly. “So how is Alec? Sophia told me how handsome, smart and fantastic he is but she is not really objective on that point.” I add laughing.

“He is smart and nice. But handsome, I can’t say.” He jokes.

As we both giggle, I start to feel a strange heat behind my back. I feel like sparkling from the top of my hair to my back. I take off my jacket but it doesn’t seem to cool me down.

“Are you alright?” Tom asks, touching my shoulder. As he does I hear a growl and we both look behind us.

Sophia and two men are walking towards our table with the waitress. Sophia is wearing jeans with a white top with a slightly neckline and black pumps.

One man is taking Sophia’s hand, so I assume that he is Alec. He is really tall, athletic, with short blond hair, green eyes, slightly tanned. He wears a black jeans with a white shirt. The other guy is taller than Alec, very muscular, short black hair, wearing black jeans with a black shirt and I can’t look away from his ice blue eyes. He is with no doubt the most handsome man I ever seen. We lock eyes and it is like he can read right through my soul. In another situation it might freak me out but not at all. All my senses guide me in his direction.

As I stand, Sophia hugs me hard in her arms. “Oh my god I’ve missed you so much. We have so much to talk about. But first let me introduce you to my mate, Alec.”

“Nice to meet you Amelia, I have heard a lot about you.” Alec shakes my hand shyly.

“Nice to meet you finally, Sophia told me a lot about you too.” I answer him.

Then my eyes move to the Greek god standing in front of me.

“Amelia, let me introduce you to Alpha Noah, from the Blue Moon Pack.” Sophia says looking between Noah and me.

“Nice to meet you.” He tells me without looking away from me. As he touches my hand I feel electricity running between our hands. It is the weirdest feeling I have ever feel. I am so attracted to him; I think that I moved a little bit closer to him.

“Nice to meet you too Alpha.” I answer keeping staring at him.

“Alpha Noah, Beta Alec, nice to see you again. I didn’t know that you were visiting us today.” Tom interrupt us and shaking hands with Alec.

Noah doesn’t really seem glad to release my hand and look angrily at Tom before shaking his hand.

We all sit down at our places and I sit between Noah and Tom and I don’t feel comfortable. The waitress comes back to ask us if we want to start with something to drink. Once we all choose, she leaves and Noah answer the question Tom asked him when they arrived.

“I came back today to finalize the deal with your Alpha and to make sure that my Beta is going home with me tomorrow.” Noah says very calmly looking in my direction.

Wait. They are leaving tomorrow. Is Sophia going with them? I know that werewolves can’t stay away from their mates for too long and usually the girl follows her mate right after they meet. But I assumed that I would have the opportunity to spend some time with my best friend as we didn’t see each other for a while.

“Does it mean that you are leaving tomorrow?” I ask Sophia.

“Yes. I’m so sorry. This is why I wanted you to meet us tonight. I know that you just came back from University but you can visit us at the Blue Moon Pack when you want.” She answers and I know that she means what she says.

We start dinner; Tom, Noah and Alec are talking about the deal between the Night Pack and the Blue Moon Pack when Sophia asks me to accompany her to the bathroom.

When we are alone, Sophia turns to me and hug me hard.

“Believe me Amelia, it is so sudden for me too. I didn’t expect to have to leave right after your return. We didn’t see each other for months and I leave. I hope you are not too disappointed.”

“Well, I will not lie; of course I’m disappointed because I was hoping to spend time with you." I sigh. "But I am truly happy for you. I can’t believe you found your mate and I know that it was important for you. So follow him and be happy.” I tell her taking her hands in mine.

We stay like this a while and suddenly her smile grows bigger.

“By the way, I saw the way Noah and you were looking at each other. Are you attracted by him?” she says with her big smile.

“Well he is not ugly at all.” I answer avoiding eye contact and we both burst out laughing.

Right before leaving the bathroom Sophia says that she thinks that Noah likes me.

Even if he does I don’t have time for this. I need to focus on what really matters and at the moment it’s my internship. And he has a girl out there who is meant to be with him anyway if he didn’t find her yet. My mom always warned me to not fall in love of a werewolf if I don’t want to have my heart broken because once they found their mate she is the only one they care about.
