The Alpha's Mate by: Nicola Burns

I was only 17 years old when my life changed forever. I was working at the local diner in our quite little town of Wolfsburg when I saw him. There sat a man at the end table, staring at me as if he knew me. “Ma’am, can I get a menu please” he motions for my attention. “I’ll be right with you” I reply. The day was slow, but I was trying everything I could to prolong the time that I had to confront him. He was gorgeous. I knew the minute I turned 18 that I would find my mate and that was only a few weeks away. I just couldn’t look away from him, and it was scaring me on why I felt this pull to go to him. “Here you are sir.” As I sat the menu on the table in front of him. Standing there with my notepad out, ready to take his order, he glanced up at me and smiled. “I’ll just have a coffee for now.” He stated softly. As I turned to walk away to retrieve his coffee, Anna walked over to me and grabbed my arm. “That man over there, keeps staring at you. What are you waiting for, go over there and find out that guy’s name?” She giggled softly so nobody could hear. “Why? I can’t find my mate for another 2 weeks yet.” I retorted.
