Chapter Four

I handed the baggie of coffee grounds over, my mind still racing. It must have been written all over my face, because Williams looked at me like he was waiting for me to attack like a dog who broke the chain.

I didn't say anything as he took the bag from my hands and neither did he as he watched me leerily, even easing backward, clearly unsure.

I couldn't say I blamed him. I didn't know what my face was saying, but I was in shock and ready to get back to that room, so I could see if that one small taste of him had been a fluke. Had my mate been sitting right there under my nose for the last month, and I'd dismissed him as a possibility because he liked to have fun? Was I really that much of a judgmental asshole?

Closing my eyes, I shook my head, nearly whimpering when I thought about the look on his face when I told him he was serious enough for me to mate. The impact that look had on me even then, not knowing how important he was to me, had been enough to feel like my heart was being ripped out of my chest. I'd immediately wanted to take it back, especially since I hadn't meant it the way it had come out.

It had never been that he wasn't good enough for me, or didn't live up to my expectations. It had been my worry that someone as fun and exciting as him would easily get bored of someone like me, who had trouble expressing my emotions because it had been drilled into me by my alpha father centuries ago that emotions made you weak.

He was young and happy all on his own. He didn't need anyone, and it just seemed like he was completely content to continue living that way. I'd been so sure that by the time he was ready to settle down, my window would already be closed, and I was sick of waiting, but the one thing I'd learned by watching all the mated couples in Purdy was that if you found your soulmate, it didn't matter how unlikely the pairing was, the joy each person received from the other was completely amazing.

I might not know what I could possibly bring to the table for someone like West, but I had to have faith in the fact that I would somehow bring him joy.

I stood there staring at the empty spot Williams had just vacated as I thought about all the possibilities of having West as a mate, and the anxious need to get back to the room, so I could apologize my ass off for hurting him earlier, had me spinning and nearly sprinting back toward the room.

Taking a deep breath just outside the door, I prepared myself for the possibility of groveling. If I was him, I wouldn't give me a chance, but I had him being my soulmate… and me being his, on my side.
