Chapter Ten

Christopher

Three years later (So Five years since Nayla left)

Finishing up business at another clan's pack, something was telling me not to go home, to make a detour. I told my beta I was going to a city near the beach just to wind down. He was excited as well He said his mate wanted something so he can go shopping while we are out there.

I stood by the rails and watched as the people passed. I decided to stop at a drink shop, I ordered on the kiosk and waited. When I heard my number I walk up to get my drink, "Excuse me-" I was stun when she looked up at me. She is right in front of me…my mate. Does she not remember me or smell me at least?

"Sir? Can I help you? Are you okay?" I was stuck to even hear my mate talk to me.

"Oh yes, Um…. Where are your straws?" I get out of my trance. As she points to the wall, I try to take in her smell. Why can't I smell her!?! Can she smell me but why isn't giving me a sign that she knows me? Nothing.

I thank her and grab a straw while still looking at her direction. I stay there like a creep just to watch her work and ignore me. She seems happy. After an hour of being a creep I walk out, still no stares. Did she really forget about me? My wolf whimpers. I walk across the street just to watch some more. "Alpha, we are ready when you are." My beta mind links me.

"Get a room we are going to spend a night" I told them.

Later that day, I see her closing the store. I was pretty far for her to notice me. I see a man and a kid waiting for her across the street. Once she turns I hear him call her. "Mommy!" My heart sunk; she had a kid with someone. With this Human!! I walked away, I went to the hotel and sat down gloomy. I thought about it more and finally I mind linked my Beta, "Clyde, I want you to place someone to watch a person. I need them here by tomorrow."

"Yes Alpha" He answered sleepy.

The next morning, I hear a knock on my door and my beta saying the tracker is here. We go walking to the drink shop, she isn't here. So, we wait by the fence across the street. About two hours past and I see her come around the corner, "That's her. I want you to keep a close eye on her." As my wolf gets excited just to see his mate walk by. My tracker agrees and walks away. I guess now I wait. "Let's go home after a drink Clyde."

Nayla

Why is he here!! Again! Just pretend he doesn't exist. I wanted to smash his face in when I saw him last night. Why did he find me? Why is he following me now? I am finally happy with me and my boy. Let me just get this day over with and leave. "Nayla! You seem spaced out, Are you okay?" my co worker asked. "I'm fine just thinking about how to get away with murder." She laughs at my semi joke. If she only knew.

He left after drinking his juice. I noticed them looking and watching my every move. He didn't come back after that, I was relieved. While I was walking home I sensed someone watching, that punk put a tracker on me! I took a smell in the air. I got you. I just smiled and keep walking.

"Mom! Can we go to the beach today? Simon and Lily are going too!!" my son excitedly asked with his beautiful puppy eyes. I cave as always.

When we are at the beach we play volleyball I over hit the ball, "I'll get it!" I yelled. I pass by to grab the ball and smiled as I thought "Got you", happy to finally put a face to the smell that has been following me for a week.

After hours of fun, we finally head home. I put my son Damien down to bed and he is out like a light. I tell Lily I will be back later tonight; I had a problem to fix. I walk out of house and track my target.
