Chapter 2 HIS MISSION

CHAPTER 2

ALEXANDER'S POV

(AT THE PARTY)

I fought to regain my balance as a lady crashed into me, one who seemed to be far too drained in thoughts to look where she was heading. She almost fell as I stretched a hand and caught her in the air, my hands held her tiny waists tightly. I gazed, from beneath my lashes, over to her, the lady in my hands; her face was mystically perfect, the kind that could rule a man's fantasies, her hair swept back from it in a glorious, golden cascade, like an angel's. And her eyes sparkled with a richness for life, they were focused on me with an intensity that had my blood heating. This lady had somehow seemed to grab my emotions with a sweet aura.

My heart raced frantically in my chests, blood seemed to stop flowing in my veins, a pain cut through my head as a headache ensued, I wanted to grip my head, but this lady seemed to have drowned my attention. My nose, a barrel of smells, differentiated the smell of alcohol from the one I was inhaling now, this smell, I'd deduced, was of an intoxicating fragrance, one that enticed and drew me. The base of my neck tingled, I felt a pain coming through me as a sensation coursing through my veins. I felt my head splitting into equal halves, my neck hair stiffened as the sensation grew thicker.

My heart raced, and a headache ensued as my wolf whimpered in loss. A beautiful, intoxicating fragrance filled my senses, coming from the lady in my arms. With a sense of longing, I felt a powerful connection to her, one that could not be denied.

My nose, stopped working for a second as my inner wolf whimpered in loss, and then, I inhaled in yet, that same scent, one that was obviously coming from this lady. "Mate," my wolf yelled. She immediately rose back up to her feet as she ran off, I turned and watched her disappear into the darkness. I wanted to run, but it wouldn't be sensible to run after the lady I just saved, it was inappropriate, but when she was my mate, it managed to sound at least reasonable.

The mate bond I had just felt was nothing to be denied, with her in my custody, she could lead me and teach him how to navigate in this werewolf pack I had come to research. The fact that I was the next in line to my Lyman ancestors, I am a prince who is thirsty for research, thirsty for knowledge and this thirst had made him to come to the Nightfall pack to watch closely the way of lives of werewolves. My mate bond to this lady had been a potent connection, one that had knotted me to this unknown lady whose beauty had mesmerized me. Something about her seems to intrigue my wolf, and that is what I'll find out.

I am going to find this lady and fish her out of this pack, my mate was something valuable, something I wouldn't lose for anything. I tried to remember the look of her face but all I remembered was her beauty, I turned and saw the hint of glitter in her dress in the far distance, my legs called unto me- to run after her. I felt ordered by the force and I couldn't say no to the attraction as my legs moved as I followed her in her tracks. As proverbs would have it, one could not run faster than his/her shadows, but this was a different case entirely, I ran even faster than my shadow. I had followed her until she had gotten to a dark street, one that was dark and weary. I followed, inspecting the turns I took, with a determination to find out wherever she lived, a determination, I was set to fulfill.

I am going to know her abode, and that is my primary goal, I watched as she walked into a path, a path that led into a building, one that was made from poor constructing materials. The house, I'd imagined being a big mansion, but all I saw here was a two-storey building.

"Phew-"

I exhaled and wiped off some clouds of sweats as I gulped hard, "That was a close one."

I arched a brow and said to no one but myself, "Now back to the prom."

***

I had not stopped in my running until I finally arrived at the prom hall where the prom has been induced. I stretched my gaze and looked over and saw two people, a man who I knew to be Gary and a girl I had assumed was his girlfriend as they both argued seriously.

"Gary, I think it's time you stop caring about that Lily of a girl, you are now making her to look like your mate when she isn't." The lady rasped with anger boldly laced in her voice.

"Stop it Nina, I know you are my mate but Lily seems to be hurt by what I said earlier about you being my mate and I just wanted to find out." Gary inclined his head, his face devoid of emotions.

"Just hear yourself, Lily seems to be hurt by what I said earlier about you being my mate, and you just wanted to find out." the lady prodded and continued, "It means she is a fu*king sl*t who is jealous of the fact that you are already mated, that was why she ran out of hall weeping like someone who was beaten."

"Can we just drop this case?" Gary mused lightly.

"Not until you give me the attention I deserve as your mate," she argued, "She is nothing but a crazy wolf."

I listened, attentively to what the two people were saying, from what I heard, I could tell that the lady, Lily, who they were arguing about was the lady who had bumped into me. Not only that, she was nobody but a pathetic wolf in the pack. I sighed and turned and strutted off with anger in his expression, I was now angry at the fact that I was mated to a wolf, a pathetic one at that.

Of all the things the moon goddess could have mated to me, it was the least I'd expected, a wolf. But I had to manage- not to complain about my mate because I knew that she would add to his research. My research on Werewolves, she was a werewolf, was something that triggered me.

But now.

I now made it a goal to tell her she is my mate.

And I am going to achieve that.
