As soon as we stepped onto the main floor, I smelled the most delightful smell of strawberries and cream. I apologized to Raven, and Austin, and went in search of my mate. I cannot lose her, as she is my second chance mate, and I know better than to give her time to get away. I mindlinked Austin and told him that I had scented my mate, and he understood. He wants his mate, just as badly as I do, and he was very happy for me.
“It is fine, I will stay with Raven, you go find your mate. I am happy for you Carter” Austin linked me back and I headed into the main area of the venue. It was on the other side of the dance floor where some were already seated at the tables set up in next to the dance floor. I saw a beautiful brunette standing with her back to m, and I had to keep myself from running over to her. Her bright red dress had a strap on one shoulder to hold it up. The side that needed to be marked was free and bared to me, free for me to sink my canines in, to show the world who she was, my mate, and Luna. That is great, easier for me to get this done. She was speaking to an older woman, who looked vaguely familiar to me, but all my attention was back on my mate and my excitement at having found her. I prayed to the Goddess that I will have a good mate and not a replay of the one I had just broken the bond with. I hope the Goddess is willing to help me out in this. I want a mate that will be my other half, like with my parents. I want the kind of love that they have. I slowed down as I neared her, but my gaze was intense as I approached.
The lady saw me coming up and I guessed from the look in my eyes she knew exactly what I was doing there and gave me a bright smile. I smiled back and when my mate turned around to see who the lady was smiling at, I was met with a surprise. “Simone?” I managed to say.
“Yes, mate,” Simone told me, and then she flashed me a brilliant smile, making my heart start to flip in happiness. I have had a crush on her since we were kids. I just haven’t seen her in the last few years. I had no reason to go to her pack, and she had not been here as she got bored at the treaty meetings. I guess I did too, as I had not been participating in them either. The treaties renew every two years, and each time, the location changes between us. The last time it was at their pack to sign the treaty, and it was up for renewal in two months. They would have been coming here to do it this time, but it would be her older brother coming here to do the honors now.
Her dimpled smile is captivating me, and I cannot look away from her. I thank the Goddess for giving me this beautiful woman as my mate. Even though we really haven’t seen each other in a while, Simone was special to me. Her mom beamed with happiness, and I knew that her family was there, as I had seen her brothers earlier when I was looking down on the first floor while I watched people arriving. I just hadn’t seen Simone or her mom. I sure hadn’t scented her, as I would have come straight to her. I grinned back as I am too stunned to carry on an intelligent conversation.
“This is funny, Carter,” Simone told me, and I freeze up. Is she about to reject me? What is funny about this? The thought of loving me? Why is this happening?
I feel her grab my hand in both of hers and looked down at her. She sees that I am panicking and is trying to calm me. It works, and very quickly, in fact. The tingles are helping to calm me, but I still feel bad, is she trying to soothe me, to help me get past the rejection? I gulp, as I am worried. Does she have a boyfriend? I close my eyes and brace myself as I wait for her to do it.
“Carter, are you OK? What is the matter with you?” Simone asked me, and she has concern all over her face as my eyes popped open to look her in the face.
“Are you not rejecting me? I thought that is what you meant by funny, are you not upset with me being your mate?” I asked Simone.
