Moonlight

Prologue

Her lean figure was leaning against the large trunk of the tree, beams of light hit her head, causing the brown strands of her hair to look lighter. Her back was turned at me, so I could not see her face, not yet.

I growled, startling her. She turned around and my heart skipped at least two beats. Her hazel eyes stared at me with fear but then with wonder and amusement. It took me all my strength to stay still because I knew who she was, I knew it right away.

She was my mate.

I stepped forward and she touched my fur, fondling me. I leaned in and closed my eyes, enjoying her touch. The bond between us was almost tangible to me already, which confirmed to me once more that she was my mate.

But I knew she was human, too.

My eyes snapped open when I heard the other wolves come running, that was my cue to go and with all the pain in my heart, I left. Her voice cried out for me, asking me not to go, which made doing so even harder.

The image of her face was now engraved in my mind. I could not forget about her and it is not like I wanted to. The bond was killing me inside because I did not have her close to me. I had to find her, one way or another. I wanted to get to know her, see her, talk to her, caress her, kiss her, hold her in my arms, and protect her.

Even though, there was one thing I could already perceive about her.

She was such a beautiful soul.
