Chapter 4

Lisa Pov:

As we stepped into the packhouse, my heart raced. A scent of musk with sandalwood filled my nosetrils. Because of how close our bodies are. Feeling my mates presence. I could help but blush and thanked the moon goddess for blessing me with such a smashing young man. Who I know will be the wish of every young female werewolf. But unfortunately, I am here now, and I smiled.

"Welcome home once again." He said, his voice sending chills and fire to every nerve of my being.

I nodded shyly. "Thank you."

He chuckled, a sigh showing he knows the effects he has on me.

"Come, let me show you our room.".

I stop in my tracks. "Our room?"

He turned to look at me. "Of course". We are mates now. Our wolves would want to be close to each other.".

He came closer to me, his presence enveloping me. "I know this is all new to you. To make you feel calm. I won't do anything you don't permit.".

I bit my lip, unsure how to respond. "Your mom has given me a room already," I said.

"It doesn't matter; I am sure when she gave you that room she didn't know we were mates. Now she won't object." He said, smiling.

I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts, but his presence is not even helping matters.

"Alright, lead the way." I said.

Following after my mate, my heart keeps pounding. This was the first time I entered a man's room, and with the connection and pull, I keep feeling anxious about what will happen next, even if he has assured me nothing will happen without my consent.

"Come in, please," his voice sounding husky like he is trying to control himself.

Taking a deep breath, I entered inside the room.

The room was very huge, with a king-size bed covered in black bedding. The walls are painted a rich blue, and large brocade curtains hang from floor to ceiling windows, creating a pleasant environment.The window showcases a well-arranged garden. Everything just gives royalty. "You can go freshening up; I will have someone bring your clothes," he said, and left.

I walked towards a door, assuming it led to the bathroom. I stripped off my dress and entered the bathtub to calm my nerves a bit. My eyes can't help from wondering. I haven't entered an Alpha apartment before back at home, but I heard that it shows luxury in every way. The walk-in shower could fit three people perfectly. The sinks are made of marble under the mirror. Opposite it is a glass wall and a door demarcating the toilet sitting area.

I had my bath quickly using the body wash by the bathtub and wrapped myself with one of the towels I saw on the towel bar and dried my hair.

Walking back into the room, I dressed in the leggings and big polo kept for me on the bed. And I brushed my hair while admiring myself in the large mirror. A soft knock was heard on the door, and I opened it. A pretty, blond, advertisement lady in a white and black shirt dress just above her knee entered, with a tray containing sliced fruits, a bowl of soup, and bread. Her attire shows that she must be one of the servants.

"Miss Lisa, Angus said I should bring your food. He will be joining you later." She said. And walks to drop the tray on the side table next to the bed. Without saying another word, she turned around and left the room.

I settled myself in and ate, just thinking about what my mate would be doing now. The soup tasted so delicious, and I even wished it didn't finish. After eating and waiting for a while, I went to my friend's bed. I dozed off as the day's event played off in my mind. Just as I was about to fall asleep, the door creaked open, causing me to frighten.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, Angel." He said. Undressing himself and going to the bathroom to take a shower. I looked blankly at the ceiling, my mind racing as the sound of running water echoed from the bathroom.

He was in there, so close yet separate. The mating bond pulsed between us, an invisible chain I couldn't escape.

Angel, wow, I've gotten a nickname already. This mate bond is really something. Meeting someone you barely know and boom! . You guys are mates, then you have to bear kids. Anyway, I am ok with it.

Everyone says it's magical, wonderful, or a gift to find your other half. But to me, it felt like an invasion. An overwhelming force pulling and dragging my mind, soul, and body. The water shut off. He will be out soon.

When he entered the room to dress, my skin prickled. My heart raced as the scent of musk and sandalwood filled my nostrils. All the nerves of my body and soul craved to be near him, touch him, and combine our souls together. I rolled on the bed feeling restless, holding a pillow tightly to my chest.Hoping I can tie the feeling in a case at least.

Was this normal? This constant, gnawing need? This loss of self? I feel like a puppet, yanked around by primal instincts I couldn't control.

Already, I could feel the anticipation building, my body preparing for his presence. I closed my eyes, trying to centre myself. As he lay down close to me. Pulling me closer to him so I could rest my head on his chest.

"I know how you are feeling, Angel. But it's going to be better when the name bond is complete." He uttered, like he just read my mind.

A soft moan escaped my lips as he gave a warm kiss on the head. I quickly covered my mouth, feeling shy.

"You don't have to feel shy, Angel. We are meant for each other." He said, looking deep into my soul.

Turning me around, he draped an arm over my waist. His chest pressed against my back as he pulled her to me. Nuzzling into my neck, I felt him breathe in my scent, letting out a low rumble meant to soothe.

Gradually, my muscles relaxed under his touch surprisingly. My breathing slowed, falling into a steady rhythm. As I allowed sleep to take over.
