The Alpha's Mysterious Mate ( The Fate Series Book 1)

Nelson's POV: 

A few years ago, my mate rejected me.Ever since then, I had never been in a relationship.I was already thirty- two years old.

Everyone in my family, especially Anita, tried to urge me to get back into dating so that I could get married.But I thought it was useless.The Moon Goddess would not give me a second chance.

Even if I did have another chance, the fear of getting rejected again was still greater than my desire to find someone new.

After all, I no longer believed in love.

But right when my eyes fell on Anabel, I could not believe that there would be a she-wolf as beautiful as her.I had a crush on her.

"Mate, Nelson! She is our mate!"

Zack screamed in my head and jumped around.He'd been lonely for too long.

"Don't be silly, Zack.Even if Anabel is truly my mate, so what? I might just be rejected again.I would rather die alone, without anyone in my life."

"Didn't you hear what they were talking about? Anabel is being abused by her boyfriend! We must save our mate!"

"But...it doesn't even seem like Anabel wants to break up with him."

While the girls went shopping, I tried my best to avoid looking at Anabel.

But she looked so beautiful in everything she did, so it was difficult to keep my eyes off of her for even just a minute.

There were times when we caught ourselves looking at each other, and I knew that there was as much desire in her eyes as in mine.

Certainly, it was not just my hallucinations.

And even if I stood at a far distance, I felt myself get hard every time Anabel would come out of the dressing room in new clothes.

It had been years since I had a girlfriend, or I was attracted to anyone.

Ever since I transferred to another city for work, I had always been lonely and didn't have any friends.

When Luna tasked me to drive the two women to their homes, I was pleasantly surprised.

While driving, I couldn't help but look at Anabel through the rearview mirror.

"You can drop me off here, Nelson," Bridget called out from the backseat.

"Alright, Bridget.Let me just pull over."

Bridget hopped out of the car, leaving only me and Anabel in the car.
