Alpha, save me

Mate

- Alpha, here is the information you asked for.

- Thank you, Tom.

Lukas took the files that his third in command gave him. When he opened them, he first saw the file of Sang, Nathan’s mate.

- Sang Davis, 24 years old, bird nationality – Korean, now she has American citizenship, lives in the USA for already 10 years, works as a casino dealer in one of the biggest casinos in Las Vegas – Cosmopolitan; Blood type – O negative, no relatives alive. That’s good in a way. At least no one is going to make problems, or look for her.

- I don’t like that Luke. I don’t like the fact that my mate has no family or relatives to take care of her.

- I get it, but we can’t do anything about that. Let’s see the other one … Alexandra Wilson, again 24 years old, bird nationality – Russian, she also has American citizenship, lives here for 10 years. That’s strange. Both of them live here for already ten years, but are born in different countries. Same as Sang, works in the Cosmopolitan casino, blood type – O negative, and again no relatives alive. Is that all? Is that the entire information you could find about them?

- Yes alpha. Even this information gave me hard time finding it. It’s like they never existed before that. There is no info about them coming in America. It’s just like they appeared out of nowhere ten years ago.

- Okay, you can leave. Take care for the training today. Both me and Nate won’t be here for the day.

- Yes alpha.

Lukas waited until Tom left the room and then he turned to his beta.

- Nate, we are going in the city. Can you track the smell of your mate?

- Do you have any doubt?

- Of course not. You ready?

- Do you even have to ask?

Meanwhile, Alli and Sang were walking on the streets of the center of the city. They have already checked where the casino was located and now, they were just enjoying the view.

- Sunshine do you want to stop for a while and take something to drink at that café over there?

- Why not. We’ve been walking for more than 2 hours already. Let’s make a break.

…

- Hello, how can I help you?

- Good afternoon, what can you offer us to drink?

- Ou, please everything but coffee. We already drank enough. - said Alli

- Then, I can offer you either something sweet or you prefer something else?

- Well, Alli doesn’t like sweet stuff so nothing with sugar for her, as for me I think that I need something sweet.

- Okay then, what about Egg Cream for you and Lush Lemongrass Green Tea for your friend. The Egg Cream is a cold drink consisting of milk, carbonated water and flavored syrup, you can choose between chocolate and vanilla, and the Green Tea is very relaxing, light and smoothing.

- Perfect. What do you think Alli?

- I like it. So, we will have these two. Thank you for your advice.

- It’s my pleasure. Please wait for couple of minutes and I will bring you your drinks.

- Okay. - said Alli

- Thank you. … She is so sweet. - Sang told her friend

- And intelligent. Not many youngsters are like her nowadays. - told her Alli

- You have a point. Now I have no regrets that we decided to take a break.

- Sang what will we do after we finish our drinks? Do you still have a desire to continue our exploration of the city or …?

- Let’s just go home. We still have to prepare for tomorrow.

While enjoying their drinks and talking about random stuff, the girls were found by the two men. Firs Lukas was just watching them but then he decided that it’s gonna be better if they take a seat on the other free table next to them. They headed to the café and settled themselves on the free table right next to the girls. That’s when it hit him. That smell, that mesmerizing smell of citrus mixed with aroma of the sea. His heart started beating faster, his inner wolf was repeating all over again “mate”. He turned his head, looking into Alexandra, his mate, only his.

- Mate!

- What? Luke, what did you say?

- Mate, Nate she is my mate. Mine … I finally found you.

The two of them in one day, what were the odds. First it was Nathan and then Lukas. But how was it possible that Lukas couldn’t smell his mate the first time he saw her. That and many other thoughts were swirled in Luke’s head.

- Sang, should we start the training with the roulette or it’s going to be better if we start with poker?

- I don’t know, but I think that it’s gonna be better if we first check their knowledge and after that we separate them into three groups: beginners, competent and advanced. This way each one of us can take one group and we will be working only with them.

- Mhhhh, I like the idea, but I have zero desire to train dealers. Why the hell they sent us here? How will we survive for an entire year? … Sang, I don’t want to stay here, I wanna go home in Vegas.

- Neither do I. But it’s not like we have choice. We already signed the contract. We are stuck here for one year. … Believe me once we finish this I will neve agree to Mac’s ideas. Never again!

- Same here.

- Alli you smoke too much.

- No, I don’t, if I smoke too much the you too smoke too much.

Listening to the girls, Nathan became too impatient in his desire to talk to his mate.

- Excuse me, can I ask you something?

- What? Who? … Oh, I’m sorry. Yes of course. - said Sang

- Me and my friend heard you talking and you don’t seem to be from around. He suggested that you are from Los Angelis, but I didn’t agree and guessed that you are from Washington city. We made a bet, so, … can you tell me from where are you?

- You made a bet? … Sang, can you believe it? - Said Alli while laughing.

- Well, none of you guessed. We are from Las Vegas. -  Answered Sang, while she was giggling.

- Really? You don’t look like you are from Vegas. … Pity none of us won the bet. … A, by the way my name is Nathan and this is my friend Lukas.

- Pleasure to meet you. -  answered the two girls.

Lukas was stunned. He loved the way his mate was laughing. It was the sweetest sound he has ever heard. And the way she looked like, more than beautiful. He couldn’t take his eyes of her.

Alli was oddly attracted to that man with the black hair. She felt like she couldn’t breathe. Her skin bristled the moment she looked at him. It was like something invisible was pulling her to him. The arousal was floated in the air. The smell was so good that Lukas was barely capable of holding himself. He knew that he won’t be capable of holding for long, he needed to mark her, he needed to merge with her, he needed to taste her. While the two of them were eating each other only with eyes, Sang and Nate were having a sweet talk. The attraction between them was more than visible. Each one of them was giving his best in holding themselves not to touch the other one. It was Alli’s phone that ended everything.

- Hello, Alexandra’s on the phone.

- Alli, you have to come to the casino to sigh some papers, and to take your uniforms.

- Okay Mike, thank you.

- Sunshine, we better pay the bill and leave.

- Why, what happened?

- Nothing we just have to go to the casino and take our uniforms.

- Ouhhh, okay. Let’s go then.

- Wait, will we see again? - asked Nate

- Who knows …? - said Sang with misterious smile

Alli and Sang paid the bill and left the two men staring at them.
