Most unlikely mate

Mary turns the corner running at top speed, “Come on, I need a place to hide” she thinks to herself. Behind her she can hear the pounding footsteps of the two men chasing after her. “Why did I have to stop in that restaurant, I didn’t need food that badly.” She thought to herself.“Come on little lady, we just want to play.” One of the men yells out.”“Yeah, play” chuckles the other one. Mary picks up her speed and turns another corner looking behind her to make sure they haven’t caught up yet. “Ouch” Mary spams into something solid and nearly falls to the ground, but a strong hand grabs her and keeps her from falling. “Oh my god they caught me” Mary thinks in a panic and tries to pull away.“Hey, it’s okay, I am not going to hurt you.” The voice is deep and rough and Mary feels a chill run through her body. She looks up and finds herself looking into the bluest eyes she has ever seen. “I am sorry for running into you” she says while trying to catch her breath. “ There are two men

“It’s been 3 days. I am healed, I need to find her” My beta Greg didn’t believe me when I said I found my mate in a human village of all places.“Damon, I understand you want find her, “Greg pleaded,” but what good will you be to her or anyone if you are not 100%? Besides, I have sent people out looking based on your description of her and no one has come up with anything. Mind you a better description would be helpful, small beautiful, blonde, blue eyes and smells like vanilla and honey doesn’t really narrow it down.” Greg chuckles.“I don’t see the humour in this!” I can’t believe he doesn’t understand how important this is to me.“Do you have any idea how important she is to me? I am already up against it being such a young alpha, and then not having a mate? Finding her will make such a difference and will help make our pack more powerful and united.” “I know that” Greg admits,” and honestly I agree having a mate will help, but your pack backs you and knows you had no choice but

Damon’s pov“Come on man, we have been searching for hours.” Greg complains. “Can we please go home and start up again tomorrow?”“Not yet, there are still two more shelters in the area, I have to make sure she isn’t in one of them.” I say quietly. “What makes you think she’s in a shelter? Maybe she has a home and is safe and sound inside it, while we run around shelter to shelter looking for a ghost.” Greg argues.A loud growl escapes me.“She is out here somewhere, I know it and I will find her.” I state firmly. Part of me is trying to convince myself as much as I am Greg, after all, I didn’t even get her name. “Fine, I will go check this one out… wait here, you get too pushy and make people nervous.” Greg gets out of the car and walks towards one of the last shelters that maybe be housing my mate.Greg knocks on the door a few times before a tall thin lady probably in her mid 30”s opens the door just enough to ask what he wants.I overhear Greg telling some ridiculous story that

Damon’s pov“Come on Greg let’s go,” I am impatient and ready to get back out looking for my mate.“Alright, I’m ready… let’s go.” Greg says. I am sure he has a million other things he can be doing , but he is a good beta and is humouring my need to find my mate.We drive back to the shelter we ended with last night.“Damon, she might not be here you know?” Greg said calmly.“I have to know” I respond.It is morning and people are coming and going from the shelter freely. “Clearly she only locks it down at night so it should be easier to find out if anyone has seen her.” I say hopefully. Greg shrugs his shoulders.I get out of the car and walk up to a young man who looks like he is going through some serious drug withdrawals. “Hey bud, can I ask you a question?” I ask using my most friendly voice.The kid looks like he’s about to run. “Ummm what do you want, I got nothing on me I swear cop…” he says nervously.“Me? A cop?” I laugh wholeheartedly, that has to be a first. “Do I honestl

Mary’s povLast night had to be one of my top 3 nights ever. After a delicious dinner of the best bacon cheeseburger, fries with gravy, chocolate milkshake and apple crumble dessert, I helped flora (the old lady told me her mother was a lover of flowers hence the name). We cleaned up the diner, she introduced me to the cook (her nephew) Phil, a 48 year old man who came to work at the family run diner straight out of high school and never left. Flora found me some clothes that fit reasonably well and once I was changed she took all my dirty clothes (my whole 3 outfits) and washed them for me while showing me how to operate the machine so I could do it myself next time. She then showed me how to work the dishwasher, and the milkshake machine. The “dinner crowd” came in ( maybe 10 people, mostly older couples), and I helped flora take orders and deliver orders to the tables. By the end of the night I was tired, but flying high having met so many people, and learned so many new things.
