Jamie’s POV
I notice now that he’s standing, just how tall Alpha Cameron is. Taller than Duncan by several inches. That just adds to the s*x appeal. Damn, the Moon Goddess did amazing work when carving my mate from stone.
“It’s nice to meet both of you,” I say, reaching my hand out to shake theirs, my mouth slightly hanging open still.
“It’s nice to meet you, Jamie,” Cameron says while shaking my hand.
He has such a deep beautiful voice I could listen to it forever. The sound of it sends a small shiver down my spine that I can't stop. I can feel tingles in my hand as we touch, and wonder if he can feel them too even though Zara is hidden. Having my wolf hidden will make it difficult for my mate to find me and I think even recognize I’m his mate. Since he hasn't shown any signs of knowledge that I'm his, he must not know.
Moving to shake his Beta's hand I notice he’s closer to my height with a sweet round face. He looked like a really nice guy.
He says, “Hello. We brought samples for you to test.”
He points to the table where there is a map laid out, test tubes of soil and my testing kit. I head straight to the table with everyone watching me, slightly nervous from all the attention. I see the nine test tubes are numbered one through three and the map has the numbers one through three on it also. This tells me three samples were taken at each spot on the map at different depths. But what are the depths?
“The map is of our pack's territory,” Cameron says, cutting the silence in the room.
“I noticed the map goes with the test tubes. This will make it easier to narrow down where any issues are. That’s pretty smart,” I say with a small smile. “The only question I have,” as I open my test kit, “is what depths were the samples taken at?”
Cameron walks over and reaches around me getting as close as he possibly could to grab a test tube. He clearly feels some kind of connection but hasn't shared his thoughts on if it might be the mating bond or even ask. He then shows me the side of the test tube that he's holding.
“It says the depth here,” he says, pointing along the side where there was a sticker saying one inch.
“Ah. Got it,” I say, rolling my eyes and taking the tube from him.
"f*****g i***t, you notice everything else but that," I scold myself.
“You’re not a f*****g i***t, your distracted by our yummy mate,” Zara says all giddy.
“Well someone’s horny,” I say to her.
All she can do is laugh in my head. I stifle a small smile at her laughter.

Cameron’s POV
The moment I laid eyes on Jamie, my only thought was that she is so gorgeous. As she stared at me, taking me in, I couldn’t help but let my eyes wander all over her slim athletic body. She was wearing blue jean shorts showing off those long tanned legs and nice round ass. A purple tank top that clung to her like a second skin, showing off long muscular arms and small perky t**s. I felt bad for eye-f*****g another Alpha's sister in front of him, but she started it. It was a little uncouth to do so but she's hot. I could imagine bending her over the damn desk and taking her over and over again.
I couldn’t help but smile at her with her green eyes just glued to me, but it made her realize that she was staring and she looked away quickly. All I wanted to do at that moment was make her look at me again. Why did I want her attention on me again so badly? Her brother, Alpha Duncan, helped out with introducing us.
Standing up to shake her hand I was hit with the scent of fresh pumpkin pie. Goddess, do I love pumpkin pie and that's what this gorgeous little thing smelled like. What an amazing smell on an amazing creature.
“I think she’s our mate,” my wolf Noah says.
“You think?” I sarcastically ask him. “Aren’t you supposed to know?”
“Well yes, but for some reason her wolf is hidden,” he says in defense.
“Hidden? How?” I ask, demanding an answer slightly irritated.
I've been looking for my mate for seven long years. If this was her, why was she hiding from me? I wasn’t a bad guy.
“I’m not sure but we have to find out,” he bites back.
As I shake her hand I can feel tingles spread from where we are touching up my arm. Part of me doesn’t want to let go of her. Why the hell am I feeling this way about her? I’ve been with plenty of she-wolves and none of them have ever made me feel like this or made my skin tingle.
“It’s nice to meet you, Jamie,” I say and immediately notice how it affects her.
There is definitely something there for both of us. She moves on to shake Rambo’s hand and he points out the testing area that is set up for her. She moves across the room as everyone watches her. I want to follow her but I stay planted where I am. So, instead, I got a great view of her ass and hips. I can imagine my hands on them doing whatever I wanted to her.
“I think we need to somehow get that gem from around her neck off. I think it’s hiding her wolf from the world,” Noah says.
“How could it be? And why is she hiding from us,” I ask, clearly irritated by the situation.
“I’m not sure,” he replies.
Letting Noah drop to the back of my mind and go quiet, I see Jamie looking over the map and test tubes.
“The map is of our pack's territory,” I say to her.
“I noticed the map has numbers and it goes with the numbers on the test tubes. This will make it easier to narrow down where any issues are. That’s pretty smart,” she says with her hypnotic voice. “The only question I have,” as she opens the test kit, “is what depths were the samples taken at?”
I quickly close the distance between us and reach around her for a test tube, also looking to get closer to her. Maybe even touch her skin again.
“It says the depth here,” I say, turning it to its side.
“Ah. Got it,” she says, rolling her beautiful eyes, taking the tube from me lightly brushing her fingers along mine.
Her touch makes more electricity surge through my hand. Those eyes are so beautiful, but I wish she wouldn’t roll them like that. I take a step back to watch in admiration of how she looks, while she works and thinks.
Rambo cuts in through our pack link, “Why are you all up in this girl's s**t dude? Yeah, she’s gorgeous but come on man, and right in front of her brother who's another Alpha.”
“Noah thinks she’s our mate,” I say calmly.
“He thinks? Shouldn’t he know?” Rambo says confused.
He would know about mates and the mating bond better than me since he found his mate already.
“Yes he should, but I aim to find out what's going on, because if she’s our Luna we aren’t leaving here without her,” I say cutting the link.

Duncan’s POV
Jamie’s just standing there staring at Alpha Cameron not saying a word. Just staring at him. If she didn’t have to wear that damn gem all the time I would be able to mind-link her and ask what’s going on.
I watch as she turns her face towards me, eyes shut, jaw clenched and her expression is irritated. I scan over to Alpha Cameron to see he has a hurt look in his eyes.
“I think they’re mates,” I say to my wolf Max.
“We will have to ask her once they leave,” Max says.
“They aren’t getting her today if she is his mate,” I say before turning my full attention towards my sister.
I watch as he keeps getting closer to her. Almost like he’s begging for her attention. I’m not going to interfere unless I have to. I know she can handle herself against anyone, but I'm her protector.
