Chapter 3

Miguel's POV.

I have been searching for my mate for over eight years now and honestly, I had already given up on it all together besides, why stay with one woman when I have different women vying for my attention? I have been tormented by Carl, my best friend and my Beta, continuously for over eight years which is funny cause he doesn't have a mate either.

The moon goddess decided to play a cruel game with me. I was lying in bed with Kalisia. Or was it Alicia? Whatever the fuck her name was, I never remember them anyway. I was in bed with my conquest for the night when I felt it, someone had entered the pack, and for me to be able to sense that, it meant the person was not just an ordinary person. I can always tell when a stranger enters the Pack but this was kind of different, it was almost nagging. I got out of bed and quickly headed for the Pack Hall when I got the call from Carl and well...that was when I met her. My mate.

My wolf went crazy at the mere sight of her.

“Mate! Mate! Mate!” It kept chanting and I could picture it prancing around in excitement.

She is a strange one.

I have always had a problem with strangers gaining entry into our pack which is damn near possible unless you have the entry plaque or someone lets you in. She didn't have it and she is not a wolf either. I would say she is just human but I can't say that at the same time. She has this smell, it draws me in and that is definitely not the smell of a mere human and it wasn't because of the mate bond either.

It is a sweet smell. A smell so sweet, you already know it is trouble but you still can't stay away, you can't get enough. That kind of smell and it is definitely not a common smell.  Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is what I have to figure out.

"What the heck are you talking about?" She asked.

God, she is beautiful. It took all of my willpower to contain my wolf who just wanted to jump out and imprint immediately.

"Exactly what I said, Little Snow," I answered her.

I watched as color filled her cheeks. Was she embarrassed? Or shy? She did not look like the shy type. Or was it the name?

She shook her head rapidly. "That is not possible. It can't be."

I smiled and just because I could not help it, I walked right up to her again. She was putting on my shirt. She has been out of it for three weeks now and of course, we had to bath her and change her clothes. I had my housekeeper bathe her and change her clothes. I would have preferred doing it myself but I didn't think she would like that.

I wanted to lean in and bury my face in her hair. That hair that's so blonde, if it were any blonder then it would be white.

I leaned in in an attempt to bury my face in her neck and sniff her but I quickly snapped out of it and just opted to stare at her. Her eyes were a little odd too, everything about her felt strange but oh so fucking perfect at the same time.

She had the most greenish-bluish eyes I have ever seen. Her eyes were not green and it was blue either, it changes, depending on how you look at her and maybe her emotions.

"What...what are you looking at?" She asked nervously, I could smell it, sense it even.

I smiled and reached out to stroke her hair again, my hand had a mind of its own.

"You are stunning," I answered her and she blushed. Her otherwise white skin turned red and her eyes gleamed and turned blue.

She recovered quickly. "Thank you. I appreciate that and I also understand that strangers are not allowed in your pack so if you would just give me my phone, I would find my way out of here or you could have someone show me the way out." She said rapidly.

"That's the thing, Sugar. You can't leave. You are mine." I told her with a soft smile that probably looked like a grimace.

She shook her head. "I think you are mistaken. You definitely are mistaken. I don't belong to anyone and I am certainly not your mate. You have the wrong person, big guy."

Big guy. That made my lips twitch.

"No, I think I have the right person." 

She shook her head and ran her fingers through her hair. I could literally see the frustration pouring out of her. I thought it was cute though.

"That is not even possible. I just...I had a mate...I just got...."

"Rejected," I growled.

I didn't like that and my wolf didn't like that either. The thought of her being mated to someone else other than me, the fact that the bastard must have touched her made my blood boil and my wolf was itching to get out and find the person and probably tear him apart limb by limb.

"How did you know that?" She asked.

"That is the easy part. You were in so much pain that you lost consciousness, the never-ending fever spells, your cries. The pain of rejection is not something I thought a mere human would be able to survive but you did..."

Those pretty eyes of hers darkened up. "Don't call me that." She said lowly.

"What?"

"Mere human. Human. Don't call me that."

"Noted. I think Snow is a befitting name anyway." That was my lame attempt at a joke but she didn't crack a smile and just looked at me like I had grown two heads. With how huge I am, that would not be surprising.

"I need to leave. I need my phone. I have so much to do...three weeks is a long time to be unconscious." She mumbled.

"That's fine. I can get you your phone and all you need to do is say what you need and I will have someone get it for you."

"No no no. You don't get it. I need my laptop and my iPad. I need to change my..." She stopped and looked down at the red shirt she was wearing. That shirt barely fits me anymore and it looks like a dress on her, a very sexy dress.

"Why am I in this? Who changed me? Did you..." she trailed off.

I nodded. "I had to bath you and change your clothes..."

She gasped and covered her body with her hands as if shielding herself from me.

"Why would you even do that?" She screamed.

I shrugged nonchalantly. "I had to, you do not expect me to allow some other guy to bathe my mate now, do you?"

My wolf didn't like the idea of that.

"But...even though...You you...." She sputtered.

I decided to put her out of her misery. "I didn't bathe you myself. I had my housekeeper come in and bathe you and change you. If you need to freshen up, you can use the shower in here, I will bring a fresh set of clothes for you to wear."

She nodded and looked towards the bathroom and back to me. I got the hint but I didn't make any attempt to move.

"You are not leaving?" She asked.

I smiled or I at least tried to. It's been a while since I've smiled so much.

"I thought you could use some help."

She glared at me. "No, thank you. I can manage."

I nodded. "If you say so. I will be back with the clothes."

I started heading for the door and stepped outside, I stopped last minute and took another glance at her.

"It was very nice meeting you, Mate. I can't wait to get to know you better." I teased.

"Will you stop calling me that? I am not your fucking mate." She answered angrily.

I winked at her and shut the door. I heard her growl in annoyance and I couldn't help but smile.

I am definitely going to have my hands full with this one.
