Chapter 7: Elijah p.o.v..

I got to the club and carried the cake like it was the precious thing in the world, it pissed me off that Caleb thought i was incapable of delivering a fucking cake. I placed it on the side board it felt like i could finally breath as i placed on the side board in the office. I took off my Jacket hung it up and loosened my tie and sat down at the desk, i hadn’t realised the time until the music started blaring out, my stomach rumbled so i made my way up the restaurant hoping i get something to eat even though i knew it was a little late in the evening, i popped my head around the door where i saw Terry “any chance of something to eat?” i asked

“will pasta do you?” he asked me in truth i didn’t care i hadn’t eaten since breakfast and i was starving, i sat at a table in the corner, only then did i notice that it was Laura doing the waiting service she smiled as she came closer “why are you working in the restaurant?” she sighed at me

“Annie called in sick again” she was beginning to be a problem, don’t get me wrong i have nothing against people being sick but she was sick several times a month

“have you cancelled your sister? The cake is in the office” she laughed “i haven’t told her, i didn’t want to cancel that was just what she would like me to da anyway”

“she really doesn’t like going out” she shook her head and smiled her usual loving smile “i swear if she didn’t have to meet people for her work and bake so much, she would never go out at all”

“we will have to have a word with Annie over her sickness record, try to get to the bottom of it” i said

“yes of course”

“what time will you be finished here” i asked

“lily is coming out after the last table have had their deserts so i can go down” i looked at my watch she was still going to be here a while as she had only just given then their mains, it was then Terry bought out my meal pasta vongole, garlic bread and side salad “thank you Terry” i said to him he nodded “Alpha” and returned to the kitchen it didn’t take me long to hoover the food i told you i was famished. Taking my plates to the kitchen i placed them into the dishwasher rack on the side “Terry left for the evening?” i asked Lily she just nodded she was a shy young thing but she worked damn hard for a teenager.

Leaving the restaurant i could smell the most intoxicating smell i think i had ever smelt Jasmine and pear with a hint of vanilla, something about it made me want more of it, i inhaled deeply and followed the scent into the moon lounge, i stood in the door way for a few moments taking in the surroundings and distinguishing who the scent belonged too.

There in the corner was a woman she was breath taking her cork screw curls of different shades of purple and black, but it was her eyes i had never seen violet eyes before they glistened like gems when the sun light hits them “mate” Brax said.

She had a slight tan to her skin and freckles adorned her cheeks and the bridge of her nose, i didn’t like the scar which ran down the side of her face, it didn’t attenuate anything from her beauty, the figure hugging dress high lighted the sensual curves of her body, we stared at each other for what seemed like minutes but was only seconds, i was disappointed when she returned to her kindle, it made no difference now i had found her my mate and just in that knowledge i knew she was going to be mine.

I walked over to Jasper who was behind the bar i sat down in front of him “there’s something you don’t see every day” i said nudging my head in my mates direction.

Jasper smiled “that’s Laura’s sister Violet” he replied which was puzzling “i thought you said she was human”

“she is” he answered me without a thought, i gave it a few seconds to realise what i had just said to him, he looked at me “take a deep breath and focus, what do you feel and hear” i asked him like i was back to teaching him his lessons, he did and looked at me surprised “she has a wolf, it’s faint but there” i was proud of him i had taught him well “why hasn’t she shifted?” he asked that i wouldn’t know until i had gotten close to her “that i don’t know....yet” i answered smiling.

I could feel him studying me, he didn’t speak for a few minutes which got my hackles up “what?” i snapped he laughed at me of course he had realised she was my mate “oh bro i don’t know how you are going to handle this one” he said with a smile

“she’s shy i know” i retorted he shook his head “bro she is practically a hermit” his words didn’t faze me we had the mate bond it would start to take hold as soon as i touched her skin, plus i hoped the moon goddess wouldn’t be so cruel as to give me a mate who wouldn’t want anything to do with me.

Although the way my life had turned out so far that bit did make me wonder a little, Jasper brought me back into the now “bro you found your mate, how fucking brilliant is that” i knew what he meant there was a sense of hope radiating through Brax and i “keep this between us for now Jas” i said as i looked up at him. He nodded but i could see his confusion as to why i hadn’t wanted to share such wonderful news with everyone, i knew they would all be over the moon, happy for me but deep down i knew my mate “our mate” Brax injected would be no easy feat.

I nursed my Pepsi stealing glances of my mate, it was unbelievable she was here in this room with me and more astonishingly she was Laura’s sister, i smiled to myself it didn’t matter how much she tried to run from me, i always had a in now.
