Chapter 2

**Winter **

As suddenly as I see the green eyes, I smell pine and pepper. It is intoxicating. Athena is practically running circles. She came close to the green-eyed wolf and started to run her body against his. What are you doing Athena?!

She is rubbing up on some random wolf. Like I know he smells good. Why does he smell so good? He is intoxicating to me. If I die at this moment, it would be worth it to smell this bliss. Nothing has ever smelt as good as this wolf.

This black furred, green eyed wolf is so much bigger than Athena. He must be double her size. If not bigger. No doubt he would not be someone I would care to fight against. Athena is still pressing into this unknown wolf and prancing around him. She is flicking her tail!

I have never seen her act like this. Normally when she encounters other wolfs, she is gracious and reserved. She is usually not extremely playful. She has not been this playful since I was a child. She would want to play with the other wolves. But that was years ago.

To see her act like this again is nice. To feel her happiness. I also feel her leaking some pretty strong hormones and desires out there. That is definitely new. Why is she doing this! I mean I get it Athena he is a good-looking wolf. But do you need to be giving off the come get me vibe.

This is just weird. I have never felt the smells and emotions she is giving off. She is practically bouncing around in my head. She decided to rub up against this humongous wolf again. Flicking her tail wildly.

I can feel my body shooting electricity under the fur of Athena as she presses herself into him. What the hell Athena? Calm down! “This is some first impression” I can't help but say to her. Then all the sudden It clicked. This is my mate. Holly Goddess almighty I can't believe I found my mate! This beautiful green-eyed wolf is my mate! No wonder Athena was flinging hormones every which way.

I had been out on patrol. Which I tried to do at least a few times a week. It was good for others to see their Alpha participating in the safety of the pack. As I walked along the border, I started to smell something. It was divine. Cinnamon and rain. There was a small smell of a rogue. Like dirt or something but the rain and cinnamon was defiantly the prominent smell.

I followed the scent and found myself looking at a small white wolf. She was pouncing on an elk, and she brought it down with one bite to its neck. How on earth did this tiny wolf manage to do that?! Is she really the rogue I smelt? It is just such a faint smell of rogue after all. I decided to approach this creature who smells like heaven. Heaven would have to smell this good.

As I approach this tiny white wolf whose face is now covered in blood from her latest kill. She seems to be super happy.? She starts rubbing against me. Her scent is making me sore! I notice her soft black tail. “That’s cute.” my wolf Dante says to me. We lock eyes on the small wolf, and it just clicks. Mate!

As soon as I make the realization, she is my mate I shift. Who cares if I am naked? I have to know who this beautiful creature is. Is she the rogue I scented? I have so many questions that needed to be answered. I am 29 years old. I have been waiting 11 years to meet her, and I am not going to wait a moment longer now that she is here.

**Winter **

Oh, my goddess this huge black wolf just shifted into this gorgeous mountain of a man. His shoulders are broad, and he must be at least 6 feet tall. He has black hair, and his eyes could charm anyone within a 50-mile radius. His abs are mouthwatering. And he is naked!

Should I shift and let him see me? I would be naked as well! Was I ready for that? No, definitely not. I ran. “It is for the best.” I tell Athena. “We have been alone fore 5 years, and we don’t need anyone.” She whinnied as I turned to run leaving our kill laying on the ground.

“Stop Athena, I know you want him, and I can’t deny I want him too. But honestly, he won’t want us. We are a lone wolf. Werewolves in packs do not like us. If we can get away, we won't be rejected. Rejection from a mate would be beyond painful, and after everything we’ve been through, I can't handle that pain!”

I feel bad but running seems like a good idea. I don’t stop until reach my makeshift home. I have been here for about six months. I try to not stay in a place for too long, but I really love this place. There is fresh water, and the mountain air is heavenly. Also there always seemed to be food to hunt or to fish for.

My stomach growls as I shift and crawl into my shelter to get my clothes on. Dam it! Why didn’t I drag the elk back with me? At least I would have some food to eat. Now I'm stuck here with no food, and I am not in the mood to go out and hunt again. Not while my mate is out there.

Not that I don’t want my Mate. It's just I am scared. He probably thinks I'm a psycho. The fact that I let Athena rub up on him then just bolted when he shifted. It is better if he doesn’t know me. I'm sure of it. I couldn’t take it if he rejected us. Then again life would be better with my mate, I think it would at least. There is so much to think about.
