Howling Hearts
I made my way directly to the library with the present I had for Asher all nicely wrapped up, ready to be torn open. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. When I arrived at the library, no one was there. I sat there for a whole 20 minutes waiting for Mr. no show. I felt stupid for thinking he would actually come. I got dolled up for no reason at all. Maybe Iâll still meet my mate today. Then it wonât be for no reason. I got up from the table seat and went into the hall, hearing a lot of whispers regarding my new appearance. Some asking if Iâm a new girl, others saying Iâm trying too hard and others saying I look drop dead gorgeous.
I didnât know how to feel about myself. As I was wandering around the halls waiting for school to start, a smell hit me like a truck. It filled my lungs and took over my mind. It was the smell of after the rain had fallen. Petrichor. "Mate", I growled. I let the scent lead my feet to where my mate was. I was so excited and my palms are sweaty. It led me to the janitorâs closet and before I opened it I heard a moan. I put my ear to the door and heard shuffling. âHurry Saige, I smell my mate, I canât let her meet me like this.â I know that voice my heart skips a beat, fear and anger covers my heart like a blanket. It canât be. It canât be. Thereâs no way.
