Colin walked through the doors a minute late hoping his professor wouldn't be upset. He hated being late. For Colin being early was being late. He didnt want to study to be a doctor but his father told him he needed to study in order to help advance the pack. Some day Colin was going to take over responsibility as an alpha and needed to know how to care for his pack.
He made his way to his seat just as the most heavenly scent hit him. His wolf stood in his head and began prancing back and forth. "Mate!" Colin looked around cautiously trying to find who this scent belonged to when he saw the most dazzling green eyes he had ever seen. He couldn't look away even though he tried to force himself. She was absolutely beautiful. Her skin was like cream and he wanted to know if it was silky to the touch. He felt enamored by her. His heart was racing as he walked by daring to let his fingers brush against her smooth skin. He felt sparks of pleasure racing through his body. Her hair was long and curly blonde but almost white, making her look like the most beautiful angel he had ever seen. Her scent was the smell of a garden of flowers after the rain. Sweet, fresh and pure.
He sat across the aisle from her confused. did she not feel the sparks? Did she not feel the pull he was feeling? Could this really be his mate? Colin had always wanted to find his mate and imagined it for so long. She didn't even bat an eye. That's not how it was supposed to be.
The class drowned on and Colin couldn't concentrate between his wolf being agitated in his head and his thoughts going crazy over why she wasn't feeling the bond.
Finally the class wrapped up and he watched her leave without even looking at him. it couldn't be his mate. His mate would feel it.
Colin shook his head and decided to grab something to eat and meet up with his beta Zander and Gamma Brett. He couldn't help but notice something in her scent that made him crazy. Beyond the flowers and rain he smelled something else. It was faint but there was something more to this angelic beauty with emeralds for eyes. Once in the cafeteria he grabbed a few things to eat and made his way to a table.
Her scent slammed his senses once again making his wolf howl in his head again. As he sat down he scanned the room trying to find her. There she was nose deep in a book as she ate. He couldn't help but watch her. she was everything he ever dreamed of. Soft sweet milky skin, long curly hair and her body had curves in every right place. He was drawn to her. She was perfection. She must have sensed Colin staring at her. Hers eyes fluttered up out of the book and locked on his. He was debating to go and talk with her right when her friend walked in and her eyes broke free. He felt sad at the thought of not having her close to him. He wanted to hear her voice. He wanted to taste her lips.
"Mate!" howled his wolf inside his head. Colin tried reasoning with his wolf. " she can't be our mate she isn't feeling the bond. There is something else there. I can't quite understand. Not just her scent but something hidden there. very faintly. the smell feels familiar. " He was broken from his thoughts as Zander and Brett walked up and sat down.
"Alpha, " Zander said as he tilted his head as a show of loyalty and obedience. He noticed something off and looked confused at Colin. " Alpha Colin? are you ok?" Colin looked at them and nodded. Still unsure of what was happening to him.
He looked at his two best friends and started to speak a little confusion in his voice. " I think I found my mate,.... " he paused shortly. " but she doesn't feel anything. How does she not feel it? " He looked between the two and their mouths were open in pure shock.
Zander was the first to speak up. " your mate? where is she?" Colin pointed to his sweet angel with the most heavenly scent. all three men stared in Emma's direction. she wasn't paying attention to them at this point and was talking with the girl who sat next to her. They appeared to be deep in conversation. " what do you mean she didn't feel it?" Zander asked.
" I mean I felt it all and almost claimed her in the classroom and she barely looked up at me. Even now she barely looks at me!" he said in frustration. " she doesn't smell human but she doesn't smell not human. i'm confused. why would she smell this way? why wouldn't she feel the mate bond like I feel?"
" we should talk to your dad alpha Lawrence. he would definitely have answers or even know where to find answers. He would be our safest for answers in this. " Brett finally spoke up. All three decided that after their last class of the day they would make the drive back to silver Lake pack. They needed answers only his father could provide.
They watched as she left the cafeteria saying goodbye to her friend. After making plans to meet in the parking structure after their class they said goodbye and headed off. Now all Colin needed was to keep her out of his thoughts so he could concentrate in his next class. They would be working in labs today with actual cadavers and he couldn't afford to be distracted. He made his way to the lab putting on the lab coat they provided. he needed this class so he could start clinicals in a few short months.
entering the doors he was immediately overwhelmed with the scent of flowers and rain and he immediately felt her presence. For someone so small she had already threw his entire world upside down. He wanted to be close to her, to talk to her and to feel her soft smooth skin on his. He shook his head knowing that he wasn't going to get anywhere today. Colin couldn't concentrate. "damn it" he whispered to himself. " how am I going to get through this class?"
Emma perked up as she heard him talk under his breath. She smiled at him sweetly as she leaned towards him as he sat behind her. " I can help you study if you need help? I'm pretty good at taking notes and I figure it couldn't hurt having a study buddy with these classes. " her eyes looked up at his as his mouth dropped in shock. he had no clue she heard him.
He didn't need help studying but she didn't know that. He quickly shut his mouth and jumped at the opportunity to be anywhere near this girl. He shook his head and took in her sweet angelic voice. " that would be great!" He grabbed his pen and her wrist and wrote down his number. She looked at him shocked at first but then smiled and turned back to her seat. Did she not feel the sparks surging through her when he touched her wrist? How was she not feeling any of this? The rest of the class went fast. Not that he paid much attention to it. He was busy watching this beautiful tiny creature. He tried playing it off but he was floored by her. If she didn't feel this soon he was going to be in deep trouble. class was finally over and they stood to pack their things. He leaned in to talk to her before meeting his friends, " the name is Colin. just text me so I know it's you. I could really use the help. I have worked way too hard for this...." he smiled as he paused, " thanks by the way." then she smiled and walked out the door. Taking half of him with her.
He made his way to the parking structure where Zander and Brett were waiting for him. His phone pinged alerting him to a text. As he opened his message up he read the most amazing text he had ever gotten. it was her. " hey Colin, this is Emma from class. since we have 2 classes together I don't mind helping you study in both. I could always use the extra studying. "
He smiled big. The other two just looked at each other questioning what was going on. Colin looked up from his phone still smiling that goofy grin. before replying back and putting the phone back in his pocket. " that would be great! what days do you have available? would Friday work?"
He glanced at his friends as they all got in and pulled away. heading to the pack land. "it was her. her name is Emma and I may have lead her to believe I needed help studying so I could be close to her." Colin shrugged his shoulders. He was excited at the thought of her being close to him alone in any way he could get her. hopefully his dad would have more answers for them.
