Catherine's POV
"I feel it, Catherine. We are about to see our mate!" Eva confirmed it again.
I doubted it. I was on the top floor of the hotel. Even if Eva was right, how would my mate get up here? I didn't think he would climb up!
Startled by my thoughts, I hurried off the terrace.
I was about to have sex with Blake. What should I do if my mate showed up here?
I was upset, thinking about the possibility of breaking up with Blake.
Just as I was sad, the bathroom door opened.
Blake walked out with a bath towel around his waist. He then walked toward me.
"You shouldn't stand here. It's cold outside." Blake said to me when he saw me at the door of the terrace.
I came back to my senses and saw that his body was still dripping. The bath towel made his masculine aura stand out in full.
My heart beat faster. Then I walked towards him in a daze.
"Catherine, this is it. I found our mate!" Eva shouted excitedly in my mind.
At the same time, a nice scent of pine-mint came to my nose.
The smell was unlike anything I had ever smelled.
It smelled so good that it gave me a feeling of happiness and satisfaction.
"Mate! Mate!" Eva said cheerfully.
I looked up with a start. Blake, I discovered, was also stunned on the spot.
When my eyes met Blake's, we saw ourselves in each other's eyes.
The wonderful scent of pinewood mingled with mint lingered on my nose.
Suddenly I felt something I had never felt before, an urge to be close to Blake, to hold him close, to have each other.
The intensity of the feeling startled me, but at the same time, I was also affected by Eva's excitement.
Blake's eyes were also filled with excitement.
Then he said softly, "Mine."
Blake was my mate!
"What's going on? Blake is my mate!" I said to Eva silently.
"What a perfect mate! Catherine, why are you still standing here?" Eva complained.
"If Blake is our mate, why didn't you tell me when I first met him?" I asked.
"I don't know. Before, I could only feel that our mate was about to show up, but I wasn't certain of it." It sounded like Eva was pondering.
Just as I wanted to ask Eva more, Blake suddenly stepped forward and held me in his arms.
When my fingers touched his skin, I felt as if my fingertips had been struck by tiny electric currents.
"Catherine, you are my mate," Blake said in a voice.
Now I could tell the excitement and joy in his voice.
"When I was born, the witch of the royal pack told me that I would be a werewolf without a mate. I didn't expect that I would find my mate, and it would be you!"
"Blake, I'm surprised too. I couldn't believe it." I was a little excited. "My mom told me that after werewolves shift, they can recognize their mates the first time they see each other. We lived together for so long. But I never thought my mate would be you."
"Let's forget about it and ask the royal pack witch later," Blake said softly. "Now, we have other things to do."
After what he said, I felt my face burning. I pushed him away gently.
I said embarrassedly, "I'll go take a shower."
In the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror, I took a deep breath and then exhaled.
I showered longer than usual.
Stepping into the bedroom again, I saw that the lights had been dimmed.
In the soft light, I tried to put my worries aside and get a little bolder. I went straight to the bed, got under the covers, and buried myself in it.
Blake quickly pulled me into his arms and kissed me passionately.
I was a little dizzy. I was a little dizzy after the hot shower. And now, Blake was kissing me. His kisses, alternately overbearing and tender, overwhelmed me.
Noise from the TV came to my ear, which somehow distracted me. Then he turned it off impatiently. After that, all that was left was the sound of our breathing.
On this quiet night, Blake occupied my entire mind.
I felt myself becoming a pool of water, and I was powerless.
Things fell into place quickly.
After a long time, I was so tired that I lay on the bed, feeling sleepy. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
It was past ten o'clock in the evening when we left the hotel.
Blake didn't want to go back at first. Though I was worn out, I insisted on going home, because I knew Hedwig needed me.
Blake's heart softened immediately. Under the pitch-dark night, we rushed home.
When we got home, I saw the sleepy Hedwig playing alone on the bed.
"Mommy, you are back. I am so sleepy!" Hedwig quickly threw away the toy in her hands and ran off the bed. She hugged my thigh at the door. "Mommy, where did you and daddy go? Was it fun? Why didn't you take me?"
I crouched, held Hedwig in my arms, and whispered, "We will bring you next time. Let me take you to bed now."
"Where's Daddy? I haven't said goodnight to daddy yet!" Hedwig blinked.
I put her down. She ran to the next room and pushed the door open, and said to Blake, "Daddy, good night!"
Blake looked at Hedwig's pretty face and said gently, "Good night, baby!"
Then, Hedwig returned happily. She climbed into bed and went to sleep.
"I'm glad that I insisted on coming back. Otherwise, Hedwig might have been too scared to sleep!" I lowered my voice.
"I should have thought about that. It's my fault." Blake turned and looked at me tenderly.
He touched my face and said, "Sleep tight. You must be tired."
"You too. It's getting cold now. Remember to tuck Noah in at night!" I reminded him.
Blake replied, "Of course. I have been taking care of him. Don't worry!"
Blake gently closed the door. I lay down and turned my head sideways. I looked at Hedwig's sleeping face under the faint light, and my heart was filled with joy.
The night was quiet, but I wasn't sleepy at all. I couldn't help thinking about what had just happened in the hotel.
Everything was so vivid. I could still hear his breathing.
I blushed and felt hot all over just thinking about it.
