Chapter 7
Gamma Jose Gomez - POV
The moment I got out of my vehicle, a distinct smell bombarded my senses, and for a second, I just closed my eyes and lost myself in that divine scent of tuberose and a hint of something citrus, maybe oranges? I am not sure.
“Mate! It's our mate!” Carlos kept jumping in joy in my head. While I literally froze in my spot. This can't be true, did I really find my mate? Where is she then? I scanned the crowd of women, who were all frantically waving at me, and that was when a petite figure was pushed out from the crowd. She looked lost and scared, but her eyes slowly turned towards me.
When our eyes locked, I felt like something within me just clicked into place while my eyes slightly widened in shock. She was beautiful with a petite figure and chocolate-colored waves framing her oval face. Even from this distance, I was lost in her electric blue eyes, and unknowingly, a small smile appeared on my face, everything around me filtered out, and I was only able to see her.
“Gamma Gomez!” the voices of the crowd just broke me out of my trance, and I quickly looked away from her. Alpha Benjamin Ralph walked towards me with a smile on his face and extended his hand for a handshake.
“It's great to finally meet you in person, Gamma Gomez,” he said, and I nodded my head.
“Thank you for having me in your pack, Alpha Ralph.”
“So, shall we go to the pack house? Let me show you around and introduce a few people.”
“Of course, let me just go and park my car somewhere else,” I told him, gesturing towards my car.
“If you don't mind, I will tell one of my warriors to bring it to the pack house. So that I can show you around the pack?” he asked me, and I nodded my head and handed over my car keys to the Alpha, who in turn handed them over to someone else.
My entire thoughts were on that petite woman I saw earlier. On one side, I was glad that I had finally found my mate because now I could just reject her and marry Elena without an issue, but on the other side, I just could not forget those big blue eyes.
The Alpha showed me around the pack and introduced me to all his warriors when he finally led me to his pack house. “You must be exhausted. Please have a seat.” Alpha Ralph told me, and I nodded my head and took a seat on the couch, a couple of minutes later, a few omegas entered the living room with trays of snacks and drinks. “Dinner will take time to be served, so till then, have some snacks, Gamma Gomez,” he said, and I nodded my head, and grabbed a biscuit.
“Alpha Ralph, border checks have been done, and everything is secure.” I looked towards the doorway to see a guy, probably shorter than me, walk into the living room.
“That's great. And Damien, this is Gamma Gomez.” he introduced while he turned around to face me. “Gamma Gomez, this is Damien Lonzo, my Beta.” I got up and walked towards him, and extended my hand.
“It's great to meet you, Beta Lonzo.” I politely greeted him, and he too had a smile on his face.
“The pleasure is all mine, Gamma Gomez. I have heard a lot about you, and my pack and I are honored to have someone like you teach us some fighting skills.”
“Um, Alpha Ralph, I will not be able to join you guys for dinner, I have some important work.”
“Oh, that's all right, Damien. I will see you tomorrow then.” alpha Ralph said, and Damien bowed his head towards his Alpha before giving me a curt nod and leaving the place. I spent the rest of my time with Alpha Ralph, listening to the faults that he found in his warriors, till it was dinner time, and all of us sat at the table to eat.
Once dinner was over, I retired to my room quickly took a shower, and changed into a pair of joggers and a sweatshirt, and when I was about to lay down on my bed, the thought of my mate crossed my mind.
I guess this is the best time for me to go and reject her.
“Don't you dare reject our mate, Jose!” Carlos protested, but I blocked my wolf, got up from my bed, and walked out of the room. The entire pack house was quiet, and no one was even around to see me go. I walked downstairs and quickly exited the house.
Wait! How am I going to find her now?
I was about to go back inside when the wind that blew passed me brought me her scent.
Why didn't I think of this earlier? I followed her scent and walked further away from the pack house and all the houses there, when I reached the edge of the forest, I saw a small house there, with the living room lights turned on.
The closer I walked, I heard screams and yells, and this immediately made me alert. I stealthily walked around the house till I reached the living room window, and I slowly peered in to see what was happening.
