CHAPTER 7

Their feet were rusted around me, sending vibrations through my body as I could feel their gaze on me. The Blind Alpha was here. I smirked, as Gregory aided me in getting what felt like a stage. All eyes were on me now, everyone's heated gaze was on one of the most powerful Alphas of them all and I knew they thought I was impressive. My wolf and I basked on their astonishment, I never went to these things, it must've been a surprise for all of them. "May I present to you Alpha Archer!" Gregory bellowed out, allowing my name to sink into all the wolves, a silence followed and then a loud and happy clapping filled my ears as several of them cheered. Many of the unmated females presence as they came closer to the stage, as they tried to bask in my power, hungry for what I could give them. I ignored them as I was led off the stage, many other Alphas came and greeted me, giving me a firm handshake and their Luna's came and bowed their head in submission, allowing me to rub my cheek against theirs, trying to familiarise their scents. I nodded my head and proceeded to walk around the place, I tried to smell something that was supposed to be delicious, but the smell would have been masked by the scent of others. These stupid gatherings, how can I find my mate here? I didn't understand why my mother would have insisted I should be here. I sighed heavily, my wolf itching to escape and find her himself, I didn't want to be here anymore and face disappointment, so left the messy hall, away from the prying eyes of the unmated and left for some fresh air. I could feel my wolf howling, I was getting too distracted by being angry about my mother, that I almost missed it. It was heavenly, it was costing me in its scent as I couldn't get enough of it. My wolf was yipping and howling as I just stoo there, basking in its deliciousness. It smelt like roses, mixed with lavender amplified to a million. It was the most delicious scent I ever smelt, truly it was a glorious, never in my life would I have thought that it was this amazing. I allowed my legs to follow the scent, careful of my surroundings as I walked on what seemingly was a footpath and it led me to some small steps, which I made my way up with ease, trying to follow the scent that should be my mates. The more I neared her, the more smell became more powerful, it was like an everlasting drug, I couldn't get enough of it. I stopped at what was a door, the vibrations that my feet made coming back at me, signalling there was some sort of barrier between me and my mate. Using my wolf hearing, I strained them to hear my mates small gasp as I knew she could smell me, basking in my scent as I did with hers. I could sense she wasn't moving, she wanted to find me, but she wasn't moving, I was though. My hands were in a desperate search to find the door handle, but being careful at the same time, I did not want to make her think that I was an intruder. The more I tried to find the stupid handle, the more my wolf yipped and wanted to escape, my fur was already standing and I could feel my canines .My Alpha wanted to claim what was ours, and my wolf side wanted to take her instantly. Scared that I might scare her, I forced my body to run away from her. My legs had picked up speed as the connection that I had momentarily with her broke and Iran away, trying to calm my wolf and my Alpha genes before I did something I would regret. I hadn't found my mate at the age I was supposed to and my wolf was very agitated when we didn't find her and since we did, it wanted her badly. I prayed to the Moon Goddess that I could keep control. After I left her wherever she was, I headed back into the hall allowing the other scents of other wolves to try and calm my wolf down. My gamma came up to me to check up on me, while unmated females tried to rub their scent on me, but I growled at them and they backed off, I hoped anyway. So while my wolf repeatedly bugged me, I prayed that my mate decided to come out and find me. I wanted her, and hopefully, she wanted me. I walked around some more, trying to find the scent I longed for. The night passed on in minutes and I found myself walking down a long corridor, only to be engulfed by the same smell I was entranced with probably a couple of minutes ago. I beamed, trying to sense if she was nearby, and she was. I quickly made myself find the source, trying to sense if she was in a room My wolf was once again howling as we neared what was a long corridor with pillars, my senses heightening as we could hear our mate sniffling and it pained me to think I was the cause of this. I allowed the vibrations of my footsteps to guide me as well as her amazing scent and soon I found myself, what was hopefully my mate as her scent was stronger than I anticipated. I swore her sniffling stopped and I felt her gaze on me, she was looking at my eyes, I knew they were blue, even if you expected my eyes to be white, somehow my eyes were still blue, even with my blindness. I found my body kneeling down, allowing the scent to engulf me and my wolf as we happily went quiet for and allowed ourselves to share this moment with our mate. It was perfect, even though I couldn't see her, she must be beautiful. I needed to touch her, my wolf and I needed this With me, hopefully staring at her, I allowed my arm to extend out to touch her cheek. It was almost electrifying as my fingers skimmed over our mate's cheek, but what was the best part, was when I came in contact with it and I saw colours. It danced in front of me, it was amazing, my heart was starting to beat fast, I could hear her heart pounding in my ears as both pleasure and happiness seeped through us. The colours still dancing around me, as if one touch from her could bring my eyesight back as if she was already in love with me. She was a gift from the Moon and she gave me the wonders of colours, something I never encountered before, and now I could see them, it was like they were auras. I could see the figure of my mate sitting right in front of me, eyes dazed as she was mine and it all it took was a breath for us to both know who we were to each other.
