Chapter 6

Mia's POV

I was waiting for the clock to struck 6. There were still 10 minutes to go. I was in the shop's kitchen. I start cleaning and putting everything in refrigerator. I pack my bag, ready to go. 5 minutes still. I glance through the kitchen door, Kate and Matthew are super busy, packing orders and collecting money. Kate goes to the door and flipped 'open' sign board to 'closed'. Just few customers left. Today was one of the busiest day. I wonder how many people came to life today.

After the last customer was thanked with bright smile, we sighed in relief. Collecting our things, we move out. Kate and I started our girly chatter. She was updating me on her new boyfriend and how he looked so much like Kenneth Murray.

Matthew came and flung his arms around us. Did I hear a growl? I look around and see Victor jumping down from his jeep, removing his sunglasses and walking towards us in true Hollywood style. He is wearing mudgreen cargo pants with plain grey T-shirt. goddess! my heart skips a beat. Even Kate and Matthew are looking at him.

Kate starts waving at him excitedly.

"Do you know him?" Matthew asked her.

"Ya, I know every handsome guy." She replies, I just roll my eyes to that.

Victor comes near us and kisses me on cheeks, leaving me with cherry cheeks, that was unexpected. He gently removes Matthew's arms from my shoulders, replacing with his and scooting me closer to him. He seemed quite happy and content now.

"MINE" he growls, which just I hear, due to my supernatural werewolves powers.

Matthew and Kate have their jaws dropped to ground. They don't even bother picking them up. Kate narrows her eyes at me. I know, I am dead. She is gonna kill me, for keeping such a big information for her.

How do I tell her, we just meet yesterday and it's the mate bond doing it's job.

Victor introduces himself to my friends.

"Hi, Victor" he said stretching his hand towards Matthew

"Matthew" he said shaking Victor's hand.

Then Victor looked at Kate

"It's Kate" Kate said taking Victor's hand and not leaving them.

Victor frowned at her, Kate smiled at him seductively. Victor's jerked his hand out from Kate's grip.

"It was nice meeting you, Kate and Matthew We will take your leave." Victor said politely, walking towards the jeep taking me along. I waved good bye at both of them. I knew, the confrontation had just been pushed a bit.

Victor helped me up in his jeep and went to his side. He was always a gentleman. He handed me his mobile before starting to drive.

"Save your number and save mine in yours." He told me.

I did as I was instructed. He stared at my mobile, well it was an old model but it was working fine. I gave

"I didn't knew you had a job"

"It's been two years now".

"I really got startled, when you didn't come back from school, I found your friend, Taylor's mate. She told me you work here."

"Christabel?"

He nodded.

"So what you do in there?" He asked me.

"I bake, I work as a chef" I replied.

"Oh! Wow, so you do all those preety things on cakes! Quite creative."

"Thanks" I mumbled.

"I would like to taste your cake some day" he said looking at me.

I just smiled back. He is giving in efforts to strike a conversation, and me being stupid and nervous was not able to speak anything.

I could see he was getting worried with my behavior. He gave me one hard look.

"Umm, lets have dinner somewhere before going back home" he said.

"I would like that" I replied with smile.

"So what would we be eating?"

"Pizza?" I beamed. That made him happy.

We were seated at one of my favourite pizza joint. Its a nice cosy place decorated with small glitter lights.

Victor extents his hand to hold mine, that I had kept on table. I sense it and withdraw mine in my lap. I don't why I am getting this edgy. I see hurt in his eyes and regret my action instantly.

"What the hell girl? You hurt him" Aya accused me

"It anything wrong?, Is anything bothering you?" Victor asked me.

I shook my head negatively.

"Does that guy, what was his name, Greg? Tead?"

"Matthew"

"Ya Matthew, he...is he...?"

"He is just a friend" I say immediately, before he could speak further. Why is he even bringing him up?

"Are you upset with me Mia? Or are you not happy with us being mates? Is..is there.... someone....else..?" He asked with he eyes getting teary

Oh goddess, no! Where did that come from?

"NO! there is no one else, I am sorry but Its always has been you, even before this mate thing happened. I.. I like you, just...you. I feel ... I..may be you deserve someone better...than me."

"You are the best thing that happened to me Mia, and I want no one else" he said and I extended my hand on table towards him to hold it. He smiled at my gesture and took my hand in his.

We chatted to know everything about each other, when are our birthdays, our best friends, parents, work, food, movies etc, while enjoying our pizza.

"Oh! I missed you birthday by three days" he said disappointed.

We reached home and got freshen up for bed. When I came out of washroom, I saw him sitting on a rocking chair just in his boxers busy in mobile. I start feeling heat all over my body. I went to my side of bed and started strengthening the already straight bedsheets. All of sudden I was wrapped in warm embrace from behind. His lips brushing my neck sending sparks all around me. He turned me around and cupped my face staring in my eyes.

"Mia" he whispered breathing heavily.

"Umm" that's all I was able to say.

He lowered his gaze to my lips leaning in. Our lips meet sending electric waves in my system. A small peck was soon turned into hot, deep kiss full of passion and love.

All these flutters in heart, jitters in stomach and tickles all over my body were driving me crazy, making me go weak in knees and were letting my adrenaline going. I wanted to drown in this pleasure. If this is what love is than so be it.

ONE WEEK! it's been one week since I have seen Victor. He has just vanished in thin air

After our pizza date, I was so happy. When I got up next day, I was elated but then I realised, he was not in the room. I thought he left for work early. The whole day I waited to hear from him, he didn't come back at night too

Next day there was still no sign of him. I went and asked few people around about him, no one was aware of his whereabouts. I called him but his mobile was switched off

"Don't worry Mia, he will come back" Christabel consoled me during our lunch break in school

"But he could have informed me atleast, that he had to go somewhere. Did he leave me Christa? Is he never coming back?" I asked with tears in my eyes.

"Don't be stupid. He must be busy, you know he has so many responsibilities." She tried to comfort me

"Ya I know, but one small message won't harm him. I am so worried"

"Why don't you go to his office behind Gym"

"I did, it was locked. I asked Killa too. Still no answers"

"Then there is just one last hope, talk to the Alpha"

I was shocked

"how can I go and ask him. Like.."

"Alpha do you know where my mate is? It seems I have lost him somewhere" I said irritated

"No but you can ask him, where his head Warrior is?" She reasoned

I knew, she was right. But approaching Luna will not be that difficult. I hope so

Next day I gathered all my strength and went to Luna while she was having her breakfast

"Good morning Luna" I said bowing to her

"Good morning" she said with smile and looked at me with frown. She didn't know me. What was I expecting

"I...I am Mia.... Mia Davis ..... Vic ..." I tried to say Victor's mate but she recognised me. Thank goddess for that

"Mia! oh my" She came and hugged me

"I so wanted to meet you. I am so happy for both of you, congratulations. Finally Victor found you." She said excited, breaking the hug and held me at arms length

"Thanks Luna" I mumbled

"Tell me how are you doing?" She asked.

"I...I wanted to...talk to you" I told her

"Ya tell me Mia" she said with concern

"I...I actually Victor is not there anywhere..and.. I mean... I just don't know...where he is... Umm..its been more than 4 days...and I was getting worried...

"Oh! No, not again" she said with shaking her head

She took my hand and started walking upstairs

Does she knows where Victor is? Is she taking me to him? But he is not in pack house. I can't smell him anywhere

And what is this with everyone, dragging me along taking my hand, as if I am a child

To my utter horror, she brought me in front of Alpha's office. She knocked on door and peeped inside

"Ah! Come in my love" I heard Alpha's voice

Luna went inside and I just stood there hesitating

She came out with her hand on her hips looking at me. She again took my hand and dragged me inside.

I had never been in Alpha's office. It was so luxurious and comfy. A large wooden desk took the centre of the space and a leather couch on the left handside. A small coffee table and two chairs seated near the large window overlooking pack's garden. One wall was lined with books. It was amazing

"Look who is here to meet you" Luna told Alpha, who looked at me confused. He was sitting behind his desk, working on some papers, looking full of power and authority

"Good morning Alpha" I bowed to him

"It's Mia, Maria's daughter and Victor's mate" Luna said smiling

He looked at Luna to help, clearly he didn't recognise me

"Mia! Wow you have grown so much, how are you doing?" He asked.

"I am fine thank you Alpha" I replied

"She wants to ask you something, Jaxon" Luna said

"Yes Mia what is it?" He asked but I was not able to say anything. He looked at Luna and again at me. He stood up, walking in front of his desk and stood leaning on it. He was wearing dark blue jeans and plain grey T shirt

"Where is Victor?, where have you send him? Why was she not informed? Poor girl is worried like hell" Luna bombarded him with questions looking at him intently

Alpha was now in attendance, he was not expected this, maybe

"Victor has gone... somewhere...but he will be back soon. You don't worry Mia, he can take care of himself. He is the best warrior you know. Nothing will happen to him, trust me"

"He could have just informed her" Luna said frustrated.

"Well, that was his decision." He said with authority and went back to his work.

I bowed to both of them with thank you and started towards door

"Mia, just let him be back, we both will bash him up for doing this to you" she said. I smiled to her and left. I was so hurt and devestated. How could he do this to me.

So he went somewhere, and didn't felt like telling me. And all I could do, is to wait. How long? no idea.

After my sunday's training with Killa, I went to meet kate. I wanted to go away from my world. Where I could pretend to be human and be normal. Sure, Kate pestered me about Victor, I just told her that we are dating

We were watching a movie at her place when I received message from Christabel

'He is back, come fast' - Christabel
