Chapter 11

Winter POV

I’m sitting in class, listening to the teacher, who I’ll admit was rambling a bit when the door to the classroom

crashes open. I don’t even have to turn to know it’s the new Alpha everyone’s been talking about. The teacher thankfully falls silent and everyone begins to talk while I wonder what it is he wants. He smells nice, I think drowsily, like sandalwood and bergamot and I inhale deeply, my eyes suddenly narrowing as I work out why that is. There’s only one reason another person would smell this good to me and that’s if they are my mate. Sure enough, he points at me.

“You” he says gruffly and I try not to flinch at the authority oozing from his voice, “come with me.”

He strides back out and I’m forced to follow, the class erupting into giggles as I leave. Great. More fodder for the gossip mill.

I can’t help but stare at him in awe. His face is just so handsome, his green eyes round and dark, his black hair

shaggy and down to his shoulders. He’s wearing a leather jacket that makes him look tough, as well as accentuates his muscled body. I swallow, feeling incredibly nervous all of a sudden as he turns to speak to me.

I’m not naive. I knew he’d brought me out here to reject me. After all, what guy would want a girl as broken and

tainted as I was? I wasn’t the greatest looking and compared to him I must have looked awful. But I squared my

shoulders, refusing to let him see how this was affecting me. I needed to get this over and done with, if only so I could

get back to class and pretend this never happened. I’d dreamed of finding a mate since I was a little girl and as I’d gotten older, I’d hoped that mine would come along and save me. I should have known better.
