Chapter One

Cedar

She’s mine.

I knew it from the minute that I laid eyes on her.

The intense desire builds within me as I look at my beautiful mate, knowing that I’m never going to be able to let her go even if it is the last thing that I do. When I think about our future, I know that at some point, I’m going to claim her.

I’m going to make her love everything that I do and never hold back.

I guess a part of me never could have imagined that anything could make me feel like this but I couldn’t be sure what I was going to do. I have to be patient, I have already figured out that she is a human and won’t be so kind to a shifter hitting on her.

But I have already imagined what it would be like to fully make her mine and never let her go. Every part of me is on edge right now, ready for it all but I couldn’t be sure where this was going to go. I wasn’t even sure if it was going to be okay but I did know what I needed.

Sighing, I let my eyes track her, looking at the gentle swishing of her hips, trying to ignore the boner that is threatening to pop in my pants. I can already imagine doing a lot more to her and holding nothing back.

Crap, maybe this is going to be a lot more for me to handle.

Her messy blonde hair is pulled up in a bun, and with her delicate features, I see how her beautiful green eyes pop and she has beautiful pink lips that I can’t wait to feel against mine. And she is the kind of girl who has curves for days, and it is perfect.

I guess that I haven’t been able to figure out precisely what I’m tempted to do to her. Something tells me that she is the kind of girl that I’m going to end up loving indefinitely so long as she allows it.

“Alara!” I see an older woman approaching her, and it makes me even more happy to know her name finally, “I don’t know how many times that I have to tell you to stop coming out here at night by yourself. It’s not a good idea. You have no idea what is lurking out here.”

She’s not wrong considering the fact that I have been tracking her for a long time but I also know that I really don’t care. I would love nothing more than to completely make her mine and I can see that she is probably feeling the same way.

I just know that this is all that I’m going to be able to handle before it is too late.

I never would have imagined that the goddess would grant me a human mate but I have figured out that I really don't care. So long as she is perfect and happy, I can live with anything. But I suppose I’m trying to decide what I’m going to end up doing about it.

But what I’m not so certain about is how much I’m going to entirely claim her and never stop it. Maybe this is everything that I can do but I have also realized that I don’t really care.

Not when I keep thinking that she is going to be entirely mine.

What a beautiful woman…

Sighing softly, I lick my lips as I turn away. I can come back for her, I already know this, but I’m planning on getting far enough away where I would then be able to see her at a later time.

I don’t know if it is going to be alright but I do know that I like her a lot already and I feel the pull. I don’t know if it is going to happen easily but I already know that I can't stop it.

I don’t want to stop it because I know I would hate it.

But with Alara so close to my home, I know that I would be tempted to see her much more often, but I don’t know if she is going to end up being fine with it. Maybe this is happening for a reason but I think that I’m at the point that I don’t really care.

I just want to enjoy her being close to me or not hold back any other way.

Nervously gnawing on my bottom lip, I glance over my shoulder and see her doing her own thing but I don’t pay too much attention to it as I let myself know that she is mine and I won’t hold anything back.

At least that is what I’m trying to do…

Let’s just hope it goes the way that I hope it will.
