1. Mate!

Tension suffused the undertone of the room. The meeting was filled with an anxious and frenetic ambiance. "I suppose the meeting should come to a halt then. We are not in any agreement, your terms are vile and my company will make no collaborations with your airline.’’ the handsome billionaire said, Directing his attention towards the well-suited debonair young man that had been sitting across the table. He rose up in the nick of a second, his gallant expression flooding over the board that sat all around the room. His fingers rested over the edges of his collar as he aligned his suit and got ready to leave. He moved forward towards his potential business partner, stretched out his hand, and offered a peaceful handshake to the man.

When he was hampered and seemed to catch no hint that the meeting was over, Giovanni strolled out of the conference room without giving him an opportunity to explain himself and feasibly change his mind. He definitely was not ready to make any exception or alteration to his current schedule. He had made his decision and decided that he would not be taking the contract that had been offered to him and his company just a week ago. When it came to making such political decisions like this, Geovanni Gomez Accardi would have never guessed that it would be so difficult. He had however gotten used to it and was very familiar with making intelligent decisions for the sake of his company. The chilly weather of Hong Kong had definitely not played according to His ascendancy, especially because he arrived at that meeting earlier than usual. He would never deny that the fact as to why he refused to sign the contract was because of the party’s lack of punctuality.

His trusted bodyguard opened the door for him, there are only a few people in his company working under him who knew about Giovanni's real identity and right now, he just wishes to get back to New York to his house which is in the outskirts of the city and have a day for himself… He just wants to transform into a wolf and wants to run as much as he can.

His wolf is so tired pretending to be like a human when it actually isn’t one, Giovanni heard the light buzz of his phone. Entering his porch car, he took a seat on the beautiful luxury seats. This man was royalty, his lifestyle screamed wealth and his suits definitely indicated money. His hand dove into his pocket, pulling out his handset, he proceeded to slide his fingers across the screen as he saw the new notification from his head bodyguard popped up; Russo informed him that his flight back to New York was ready for taking off.

He passed off the information as it was in his strict rules to always be orderly, managed and punctual. As he slid his phone back into his pocket, his eyes wandered around his car. He had seen enough of that beautiful luxurious vehicle that nothing seemed new to him anymore. Anything that would interest him or catch his eye was definitely minimal.

Giovanni was a very difficult man to please. Prior to the manner in which he always rode in, where he was used to having the windows fully shut, today, the billionaire found himself looking out towards the streets of Hong Kong. Perhaps he just wanted a distraction from the long car drive and the traffic that was building up. He looked towards the busy businessmen that had been walking across the street with cheap suits and broken shoes. He thought he had seen enough of the pathetic state in which he knew nothing about but then, he saw her! Right before the guards thought of closing the window, he caught sight of the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes on.

“MATE” His wolf screamed out loud for the first time in 100 years.

“MATE!” His wolf screamed again, his eyes turning into golden sparkles from his green eyes. Never in his dreams, he thought that he would find his Mate one day but here, in just a few steps away, she is walking across him!

The sudden ringing of his phone startled him. He skipped a bit, his eyes still glued to the woman as he answered his phone. "Baby, do I really have to call you so you can show me some attention?’’ Jasmine said cheekily, her voice almost adorable.

"Well, I just had a long meeting and it just ended.’’ all this time, Giovanni speaks to his wife while his eyes are fixated on the girl on the street. His blood stirs with lust as he looks over at her. He can not go beyond comprehending that striking beauty.

Just… how can he forget that… he is married?

"Well you remember what today is?’’ She asked, hinting at suggestions that it had to be something special. Giovanni tried to concentrate on his conversation,

He looked at the woman intrigued, watching her from a distance as she walked down the busy Hong Kong street. Her skirt flared sideways as the pressure of the wind came against her beautiful glowing skin. When her head turned sideways, their eyes met. A coincidence that was forever written in his heart as those mesmerizing beautiful ocean blue eyes, with sparks of amber looked at him. He would have captured those moments his entire life, the day he felt his heart skipping Just from the sight of a young beautiful wench.

"Gio, are you listening to me?’’ His wife asked, fed up with how he had been ignoring her.

"I’m just tired, what did you say?" He asked again, eyes still glued to the street.

"I said that today is our anniversary and we were supposed to celebrate it in Las Vegas. Did you forget?’’ His wife asked, suddenly angry that her husband was not paying full attention to their phone call. Giovanni somewhat found Jasmine annoying, there were pecs to her where she would sometimes be an understanding woman, but her husband had already grown irritated. Even though Giovanni tried concentrating on the conversation that his wife tried to kick up, his player Instincts were taking guard. He was lusting after another woman while his beautiful wife was on the phone.

Emotions like this were unwitting and unfamiliar to him. He definitely had never felt what he felt at that moment, especially just by a stranger who he had watched over the streets. Giovanni had just finished his meeting and was heading back to New York when the traffic accumulated. He did not expect to get bored or decide to turn down the car window but he was definitely grateful for the sight that he saw when he decided to do so. The woman was alluring, everything about her aura screamed power and beauty.

“Of course, I did not forget. We will get down to Las Vegas immediately. I will take my flight and fly home to you,’’ He responded lovingly, managing to mask his voice and appear as though he really cared about what was going on. The truth is, Giovanni didn't even know their anniversary. He hardly listened to anything the woman was telling him because he was forced to get married to her at that moment since he couldn’t find his Mate. He was so worried and focused on his work. So, he was indeed a workcoholic of some sort and the only time he got off his files and his business meetings was to fuck his wife.

“Okay, then get home faster. I love you.’’ His wife responded although very curious as to what had been keeping his husband held up at that very moment.

‘’Yeah, bye baby.’’ And that was all it took for him to cut the call and return the phone to his pocket. He turned his entire attention to the open window and made sure that he now had the full view of the beautiful woman. He could not tear his eyes off her, everything about her was breathtaking and mesmerizing.

“Boss, shall we turn up the window?’’ The driver had suddenly noticed that his boss had been caught up staring outside. His bodyguard knew that Giovanni hated getting irritated or repeatedly giving out his commands. He had clearly stated that he hated when the windows were open because the weather of Hong Kong always sprayed inside the car. But today, Giovanni said something that the man probably thought he would never say.

“No! Keep it open. The site is beautiful.’’ The Mere imagination that those words had just come from Giovanni's mouth scared his Men the most. He had never said something was beautiful, not even to a woman. Giovanni was a man of few words, leading a multi-million dollar company and a Lycan of his Pack that contributed to his quiet and isolated personality.

As the beautiful girl stood across the road, checking both sides before she finally passed, Giovanni took his phone. Unlocking it, his fingers danced across the screen as he finally found his camera application, turning it on, the handsome eligible man took a beautiful photo of the woman that was now capturing his heart. To see how enticing she still appeared even in a photo that she knew nothing about.

Her hair blew in the direction of the wind, coming against her face as she used her fingers to brush it behind her ear. Her skin was smooth and glowing, Giovanni has never seen anything more beautiful. He loved the way she walked, her hips moving from side to side as she caught the attention of all the men that had been using that busy road. She didn't even know how enticingly beautiful she was, her actions clearly showed that she was humble and unknowing of her striking beauty. The way her skirt reached just below her knees and left so much room for imagination. The very sight of her made his blood come alive.

He loved how that tight white T-shirt hugged her petite body perfectly. The way the buttons of her shirt had lightly been opened Revealing the white lace bra that she had worn underneath that shirt. He loved the fullness of her chest that was clearly shown even with the scarf that she had neatly tied around her neck.

To Giovanni Gomez, he did not need to have the woman right in front of him, he did not even need to win her heart, because as he looked at her right there, he knew that he would have her no matter what it took. He wanted her for himself, for his pleasure and his desires, for his pack, he saw her as the perfect match. She will be the mother of his pubs. The very satisfaction he has been looking for all these years. He couldn't help but think extremely unsettling things about her. He wanted her to be writhing under him, shaking for him as he brought her body to a climax.

But could he have her, with all the innocence that she portrayed as she walked down that street? That was something only the future could tell.
