Chapter 9. Not Mate

Nate

I feel ecstatic about how our date went. It’s good that she remembers me positively because that is clearly not her feelings toward the pack in general. The way she stopped as our eyes locked was everything I had hoped for.

Seeing her again was the best thing. She was way more relaxed, and we could talk freely. Her feelings were over the roof. I saw everything on her face, from happy smiles to unshed tears in her eyes.

The few hours I spent waiting for Sarah to show up was torture. Topping that with the moment I thought, she stood me up.

I have no idea what possibly goes through her mind. It was not the ideal way to meet her. If only I could stop myself and wait to maybe approach her, not at her workplace… But I couldn’t think; I just followed my instinct- more like Dante’s instinct.

This was a complete intrusion into her life. I didn’t even knock on her office; I just walked in on her presentation. I couldn’t do worse than that.
