After several buses, Myah finally made it to her new apartment. When she walked in, disappointment was an understatement. The apartment was a small one-bedroom, with a living room and kitchen all one big room. The small bathroom had just enough room for a shower, sink, and toilet. It smelled like mildew and was filthy. Luckily there was a twin size mattress, but it looked like it had seen better days. As tired she was, there was no way she would sleep in a filthy apartment. Myah put her bags down and left to find the nearest grocery store.
****Lawrence POV****
As I was leaving the store, I was overwhelmed by the smell of Shea and Vanilla. My wolf Loki was going crazy, howling inside with excitement. I knew it was the smell of my mate. I walked around, trying to find where this beautiful aroma was coming from. My head was full of so many questions: What territory did she come from? Who was she? What did she look like? There are no packs near us, so why was she here? She smelled too fantastic to be a rogue. Just as quickly as I picked up on her scent, I lost it. Loki let out a deep growl of disappointment " wheres mate," he asked? I know Loki. I am disappointed too. If we found her once, we will find her again. I have waited for her my whole life.
I got in my car and called My father, Alpha Seth Ahmed, of the Black Alder Pack. Dad! Dad! I found my mate.
Congratulations, son, what's her name? Who is she? Alpha Seth asked.
Dad, I have no clue. I know she's here, though. I could smell her scent of Shea and Vanilla everywhere, and Loki went crazy. Permission to stay in the city longer, I can't leave without her?
Alpha Seth sighed, "permission granted."
I hung up with my father and went in search of a nearby hotel. Hoping that she lives in the neighborhood, and I will not have to search for her long. I was ready to find my mate and take over as Alpha of my pack.
I daydreamed of what she might look like and how many pups were in our future. I haven't seen her face yet, but I already know I love her. I hope she will love me too.
**** Myah's POV *****
I entered my apartment and was satisfied with the few purchases I had made. Although I am now broke, I could sleep in a clean apartment.
I had brought ramen noodles and sandwich meat for meals hoping it will last awhile. I decided I would wake in the morning and look for a job. While I am a little stressed about taking on life as an adult, I know I can handle it. I don't have to worry about creepy foster brothers or living with families who do not want me.
I have little hope of sleeping tonight because I have been anxious since I left the grocery store. I can't figure out why but at one point, I smelt cinnamon and pine cones, and it relaxed me. When I could no longer smell it, my anxious feelings returned.
****2 hours later*****
After hours of cleaning, I am super exhausted. I made myself some dinner and laid down. As I crawled on the mattress, I thought about all of the responsibilities I have now. I shook my head and told myself I wouldn't worry about it until tomorrow. I deserved a good night of sleep.
When I closed my eyes, I was reminded of the smell of pine cones and cinnamon. I hugged my pillow tightly and fell asleep.
