Finding Reece (#1)

Chapter 2

Cheese and sprinkles.

As soon as he said mate, the panic set in. What if he rejects me? Or cheats on me? I can't be his mate, he's an alpha. Not just an alpha, but the most dangerous and feared of all.

"You know I can hear you, right?" He says, referring to our super werewolf hearing.

Shit.

I must have said those things out loud, which would explain why he's glaring at me.

"Um..."

"And I would never, ever cheat, hurt or reject you. You are my mate and Luna and I don't care if you like it or not," he says coming closer and closer until he was just a few inches away. "Now, what's your name?"

"November. November Hendrix," I reply quietly. Geez...he is so intimidating. He stares at me and I finally get a chance to observe his looks. His Prussian blue eyes. His black messy hair. That stubbly face. And those tattooed arms. Holy s**t, he's gorgeous.

He smiles down at me showing both of his dimples. "You done checkin' me out?" I blush, embarrassed.

"November, who's at the door?" Mom says coming to stand beside me. When she sees the alpha standing there, she stares at him for a second before introducing herself and inviting him in.

After dinner with Alpha Reece and his parents, I headed upstairs to my room. I put my iPod in the dock and scroll through my songs until I find Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars. Heading into my bathroom, I turn on the shower and undress.

As I wash my hair, I can't help but think about Alpha Reece. During dinner he was quiet, keeping his eyes on me the entire time. Occasionally, I would catch him smiling at something I said or looking at me admiringly. My parents didn't seem to notice or at least they didn't say anything.

Stepping out of the shower, I wrap myself in a towel and step into my walk-in closet. Grabbing a pair of panties, shorts and a black tank top I get dressed. I comb out my hair and get into bed after I turn my music off. I pick up my phone and look at the time.

8:33 p.m.

I turn over onto my back and stare up through the windows in the ceiling. The sky here is so clear and full of stars compared to Tennessee. I fall asleep looking up at the sky.

Two Days Later...

I'm in the woods, standing in the meadow outside of my house. My pure white wolf is small compared to the huge, midnight black wolf standing in front of me. The wolf comes closer, nuzzling its nose into my fur and I return the gesture, my wolf content. He shifts suddenly, and Alpha Reece is standing there looking at me in the eyes.

"You're so beautiful," he says, stroking my head. I shift and now our lips are brushing against each other.

I jolt awake, breathing heavily. I sit up and put my head in my hands, trying to steady my breathing. I was dreaming about him again. This is the second time now. I slowly get out of bed and walk downstairs. Opening the french doors in the living room, I walk out onto the back deck and sit on the hammock. I don't know why I keeping dreaming about Reece. When I woke up yesterday, I looked at my phone to see a text from an unknown number.

Meet me outside.

Who is this? Nx

Just do it.

After receiving the text, I walked over to my window that overlooked the backyard. There, at the edge of the woods, was Alpha Reece. I got dressed quickly in a pair of grey sweats and a white tank top and walked downstairs. Since it's late April, the outside air is warm. When I got to where he was, I stopped. I was a few feet away, but when I stopped, Reece looked up at me and smiled softly.

"You look beautiful," he said gesturing towards my outfit. He slowly walks towards me until he is right in front of me.

"Um...thanks. I just woke up. What did you want?" I ask, quietly.

"Would you walk with me? I want to talk to you about something."

"Sure."
