Chapter 3
Lisa Pov:
I woke up the next morning to a bright beam of the morning sunlight reflecting into my room. thinking back as I try to catch remnants of the dream I was having, but it was useless as the only thing I could remember was captivating blue eyes that sent electricity through my nerves, causing a damp feeling between my thighs. I shake my mind mentally trying to get a grip on myself as I walk into the ensuite to freshen up.
After freshening up quickly and getting dressed in one of the dresses provided for me by Gina, I went downstairs for breakfast.
Coming downstairs, I felt a lot of eyes on me; it feels like lady Gina must have told me then she has a guest. I inhaled slightly, calming my nerves as I pushed the door open to walk in.
It seems like I was a little bit early. I smiled to myself as I got some moment to compose myself before the dining became filled up with people Gina will introduce to.
The large dining table just had plates and cutlery neatly arranged and a beautiful life flower vase in the middle. Not knowing the type of flower, I just inhaled the sweet scent it produced.
As I continued inhaling and admiring the flower, the door was suddenly pushed open, and I automatically opened it, feeling I was caught doing the wrong thing.
"Lisa right," a welcoming voice called out to me. Turning around to the voice, I smiled and nodded towards him as I chose my seat. I couldn't help but run my eyes over the guy that called my name.
The guy had blonde hair and sexy-looking hazel eyes ringed with gold. He wore a white fitted T-shirt that did justice to his tan body muscles to perfection and a black jean. On his feet, he wore a black Harness Boot. His lips curl up to a flirtatious smirk as he notices me checking him out.
"I am Noah Jones, beta of the Crosswood Pack," he said. While stretching his hand towards me for a handshake."
I responded, "I'm Lisa Giovanni." Rubbing my hands over my dress as I heard noises of others approaching.
Gina entered and said, "Thank God you are here already. I was about to send it to you." While smiling and taking a seat. "I decided to come down early today." I said.
The food was served as everyone took their seat. During the meal, Gina introduced me to everyone as her guest and soon-to-be member of the pack. After that, everyone got into small conversations they were having, and then I noticed the head seat if the dining table was empty. Luna Gina, having noticed my glance.
"Oh, darling, my son Angus is absent right now due to an emergency meeting. Noah would show you around after breakfast." I looked up at Noah, smiling from ear to ear.
After breakfast, Noah took me out of the building for sightseeing. The environment was so breath-taking as the sun sat beautifully on the sky.
The Onyx windows shine within the wall, appearing to be stuck up light in a way that I can't explain. Clock towers line the perimeter of the manor. I couldn't stop smiling to myself because I already felt comfortable here.
Taking a stroll with Noah, I felt a weight I didn't know I carried lifted off me. We walked across an open field as people surrounding the way just looked and went about their business.
Where are we going?" I inquired, as I heard the sound of rushing water grow louder. The sun shone through the bright canopy of overlapping branches and leaves.
"I want to show you our sparkling waterfall that will help calm your nerves. And it is said to grant your every wish.". He said as we burst through the treeline.
He helped me climb up a small hill before us. We walked through the woods to the waterfall; it felt like an outcast of the world.
Seeing the waterfall with vibration and the sounds it produces made me give a heave of relief. As I take in the clean and fresh smell of the trees and flowers around.
Suddenly my wolf zreel, which has been quiet for a while, started whimpering and wagging its tail. I tried asking her what the excitement was about, but she blocked me out.
"Zreel, what is the excitement about?" I was left with no response from her.
Noah, on the other hand, was still admiring the waterfall and smiling.
"Hope you are enjoying the view and remember to make a wish." Suddenly I could feel chills and goosebumps all over my skin. My body became stiff as I sniffed the air. The Scent of musk with sandalwood filled my nostrils.
I whirled around, only to find myself face to face with a very tall, magnificent and muscular young jaw dropping handsome man appeared before me with intense ocean blue eyes that could look through your soul. I knew instantly that he must be the Alpha of the crosswood pack.
My breath caught in my throat as our gazes locked. In that instant, I felt a deep pull within my chest, an undeniable connection that left me dizzy and I could feel the shock of waves crawling up my spines . And then he uttered a word with his deep and rumbling voice.
I lost consciousness of my surroundings with him being my focus . The words he said ignited my entire body and spirit.
"Mate ."
Angus POV:
I received a call about the Rogues at the border. Another meeting to deal with; it looks like the population is increasing day by day. Before I could leave, my mother stopped me.
"I found a girl stranded," she said. "You should meet her and see if she can join our pack."
I nodded, not really listening. My mind was already on the border situation. I left without another word.
The meeting dragged on. Same old problems, but the number of packs they have taken over has increased. It is now spreading like wildfire. By the time I got back, I was tense, so I needed to run.
Branches whipped past as I pushed myself harder, faster. The sound of falling water reached my ears. I slowed, drawn to the peaceful spot.
That's when I saw her. Standing by the waterfall, something stirred inside me—a feeling I've given up on.
"Mate."
The word slipped out before I could stop it. I froze, shocked. After all this time, I'd given up hope. Yet here she was, here before me.
Lisa POV :
"What are you doing here alone?" He said.
"I came out to enjoy the view of the stream ". That was when I remember, I was out with Noah . Who is nowhere to be found now
"Alone ?" He asked again.
"I was with Noah, Beta of the crosswood pack" I responded.
"And he left you all alone by yourself?" He utter angrily.
" He was here moments ago...". Turning around to find him.
Just then Noah appears from where he has been.
Within seconds like the wind just slapped over my face. I turned to see my mate holding Noah by the collar, about handing a punch. When a piercing howl sounded in the air.
" Come with me " He growled.
Pulling me with him. We race through the forest side by side . Even though there was danger , I felt safe within myself.
But I can't help but wonder what fate has for us as my heart ponders with anticipation.
