KADEN’S P.O.V 

It took almost half an hour for my wolf and I to agree on where we wanted to go. He wanted to hunt and I knew that mother would guess that in an instant. I have always hunted when I am frustrated and she knows that. I wanted to go home but I knew that she would probably be waiting for me there so it was out of the options. 

After a while, my wolf reminded me of a certain lake with a waterfall in the woods and I realized that it was a great idea. I’m surprised that more people don’t know about it but then again, it is too hidden for most people to find. I found it when I was a child and it was my solace for years, I haven’t shared this spot with anyone yet so mother would never think to find me there. 

I put my phone on silent and left it in my office so I wouldn’t be tempted to pick up her calls. If anything important comes up and people cannot find me, they will relay everything to Caleb who will mind link me if he thinks it is very important. 

Without informing anyone, I quietly left the office.I went out through the back door because I didn’t want any guard seeing me. My guards are loyal to me but if my mother comes in breathing fire and demanding to know my whereabouts then they will sing faster than a canary. I could order them to refuse her but I know how demanding and terrifying my mother can get. 

When I got to the edge of the woods, I stripped and shifted into my wolf form. The distance from the pack office to the waterfall was too far to go by foot and I didn’t want to take a car so I don’t draw unnecessary attention to myself. I carried my clothes in my mouth and ran to the lake. 

When I got there, it was quiet, there weren’t even birds chirping and I was grateful for that. You can never know which bird Clara is looking through at a certain time and I don’t want to risk her seeing things she should never even think about. 

I stuffed my clothes beside a rock and sunk into the cold water. I allowed the coldness seep into 

my 

fur and embraced the extra weight as I swam laps around the lake.Swimming is one way I like to exercise my wolf form other than running. 

It is an excellent way to build stamina and this is the only place I would ever allow myself to swim in my wolf form. The pool in my house isn’t large enough for my wolf form and I would never risk mother coming in while I’m shifting back. 

Speaking of mother, I know she is turning in her seat trying to call me. She will be furious but I will find a way to make it up to her later. 

“You made the right choice,” my wolf said to me and I almost rolled my eyes, “when we find our mate you’ll see that you made the right choice.” 

“You’re only saying that because you didn’t want to go on the date.” 

“I didn’t want to go because she isn’t our mate,” he defended himself, “besides; it is more fun to be out here than to be stuck on a date with a woman I don’t like.” 

I couldn’t argue with him on that one because he was right. Being here is definitely more fun than

whatever uncomfortable dinner my mother had undoubtedly planned for me.

We swam there for almost half an hour when I heard the tell tale sign of a car. At first I was confused because no one would drive down here, it isn’t a well used path but then I saw the make and model of the car and I knew it didn’t belong to our pack. 

The car was a small black SUV but it didn’t match the ones commonly used by our pack and the car looked like it had been slammed into walls repeatedly, there were dents everywhere and the paint was chipping off in some places. 

I sunk back towards the waterfall so I could analyze the threat and a part of me wondered how a stranger managed to cross over our borders when the car stopped. The front door opened and I was shocked to see a young woman step out. 

Her scent hit me like a freight train and it took everything in my power to stop my wolf from charging at her like a crazed man. Her scent was the most tantalizing thing I have ever had the privilege of coming across. She smelled divinely feminine with berries and flowers and an underlying scent that I have never come across before. Most wolves I came across nowadays bathe themselves in artificial perfumes that drown out their natural scent but whatever she was using seemed to enhance it. 

I saw her feeding the birds and I quickly shifted underneath the waterfall and began to swim towards the shore. One of the birds caught my eye and flew away from the top of her car and the others followed. I could see her surprise and confusion but then she turned and she saw me. As I got closer, her scent got stronger and I knew without a doubt that I wanted to have this girl. I wanted everything about her and I wanted to bottle up that scent and keep it to myself. Something about her scent called to me and I knew that it was mine to keep. 

She stared at me with wide eyes and I took her in. She was small with curves in all the right places and the leggings she wore accentuated her rounded hips. I couldn’t help but think about how they would feel in my palms. 

I couldn’t make out her features well because of how dark it was but I knew that when I got closer, I would see everything I needed to. Our eyes locked and I noticed that they were brown and wide, almost shaped like the innocent eyes of a doe. 

I smiled at her and she turned on her heels and ran. I was stunned that she did and I tried to calm my wolf down as I watched her figure retreat from me. It took all my willpower not to chase after her the way I wanted to but I knew I would just terrify her more. 

I wanted to shift and chase after her but I realized how hard I was. It was embarrassing how just her scent had managed to get me harder than I have been in my entire life. I couldn’t risk shifting because my wolf form amplifies my emotions and desires and I don’t want to catch up to her while sporting a raging boner. I tried to calm myself down but her scent lingered in the valley and my erection refused to deflate. 

I almost ran after her naked and in human form but I heard the chirping of birds above me and I knew that they were Clara’s spies. The last thing I want is for her to see me naked. I forced…y frustration down and swam over to the other side of the lake where my clothes lay.

I hid behind a tree and dressed up. By the time I got back to the car, her scent had faded into the wind and I knew I wouldn’t be able to find her by myself. The thought frustrated me and like a creep, I found myself sniffing the inside of her car to retain her scent. 

It hit me that she was a stranger in the pack and must not know her way around so I mind linked 

Caleb. 

“There’s a girl on our territory,” I said as soon as I got to him, “I didn’t see her features well but she is small and she isn’t one of us. I want you to find her.” 

“Where did you last see her so I can concentrate my search?” 

“In the forest,” I paused before speaking, “Caleb,” 

“Yes, Kaden,” 

“She must be found and brought to me.” 

I knew Caleb was probably confused by my request and very curious as to why I was so interested in the girl and I knew that he was going to ask which is why I ended the mind link before I could and put up my wall. 

I trust Caleb and he has the best team of spies in the entire werewolf kingdom. They will find my mate and bring her to me. They don’t have any other choice.
