The Wolf Prince

The pull between us was almost visible, like an actual cord tugging me toward him. I tried to make sense of it and even looked down to make sure we weren't somehow tethered. When nothing was revealed, I was aware of what was happening between us. I just couldn't believe it. For a moment, time seemed to stand still as we stared at each other. The room faded away, and it was just us.

I had no clue what was happening, but the pull became stronger, leaving me no choice but to turn around and face the source of the energy. A man stood a few feet away. The man. I couldn't explain how I knew who he was, but there was no doubt in my mind that this was none other than Ty Keller, the future alpha. Holy. He was everything Brina had said. Everything she had described. He stood there staring at me with wide eyes. His chest visibly heaved as his gaze raked over every inch of my body.

As hard as I tried, I couldn't stop looking at him. He was the kind of man who drew the eye. Well, mine, anyway. Because everything I'd ever heard about Ty was a hundred percent true. He was tall, dark, and so absolutely gorgeous I could hardly breathe. And the pants definitely had a nice fit—nice was the most intensely grave understatement in the history of words.

Suddenly, the spell was broken. Persephone appeared beside her son, her eyes wide with what seemed like horror as she glanced between the two of us. "No." I could've done without the abject horror in her tone. The disbelief. It was disheartening. Moderately insulting. More so when she wrapped her arm around Ty's shoulders. "Come. Now." My mind went full bawdy, and I shared the sentiment, if not the meaning behind it.

Before anyone moved or said anything else, Dominic Keller, Ty's father, arrived. His face was a ghostly shade of white, and he looked at me as if I had two heads. He leaned in to whisper to Ty, and after a few seconds, Ty nodded his head as if he understood, but his eyes continued to burn a hole into my soul. I had no idea what was happening, but I couldn't move, and I certainly couldn't process the murmurs around me. But I didn't care about that. All I cared about was staying suspended in this moment.

The gaze broke as Ty and his parents walked away slowly, his father still whispering in his ear. He'd only taken a few steps when he turned to watch me over his shoulder. I wanted to go to him. Whispers spread like wildfire from table to table, but I ignored them even as I looked around. People were staring and pointing at me. I had just done the one thing, the only thing I'd set out not to do at the beginning of this event. I'd ruined my chances of being hired as a caterer by these rich jerks.

I sat there in a daze, trying to regain control over my breathing. My heart was throbbing, as if it was trying to beat a path out of my chest. The massive rush of adrenaline had left me shaky and weak. I needed food. As I pushed my hands against the seat because I needed to stand, Sabrina blocked my way. "Oh, no. You're not going anywhere." "What do you need, boss?" Adam asked. He was still plating food. With Sabrina and me both in the kitchen, we were falling behind. Although I supposed it didn't matter so much now since this was the last job I would ever cater, anyway.

I was in a daze, mystified by what had just happened, but there was no mistaking it. I'd just met my fated mate.
