Catch Her By Her Scent novel Chapter 18

"Oh." was all I said to his response.

He tilts his head at me, thinking about something, "So where were you? You just kind of appeared."

"Well when I went over to the waterfall I discovered a hidden cave. It was beautiful. You should check it out sometime."

He looks curiously at the waterfall and smiles, "Well I might just go check it out now."

He swims towards the waterfall, but all I notice is his naked ass swimming away from me. Once he reaches the waterfall I snap out of it, and I see him glance back at me smirking again, like he knows that I was checking him out the whole time.

He turns back and enters into the cave and I can't help but wonder what he thinks of it.

After a couple minutes I see him come out. He looks a bit mystified and I know that he was just as awed as I was by the cave.

When he reaches me he says, "Wow that was amazing, I wonder how I never stumbled onto that before. I mean I have lived here my whole life and you find it in the little time your here."

I smirk at him liking that I found the cave first. I notice that it is about lunch time and decide that it's time to go back, only I don't want to get out and let him see me.

"Uhh, Levi do you mind looking away so I can get out and shift. I need to get back for lunch."

"Sure but first you have to play a little game with me." I see him smirk once again and know that I should be nervous about this so called game.

"What game?" I ask cautiously.

"Twenty questions and that was your first question, now its my turn." he said with a laughter in his eyes.

I laughed a little because that wasn't what I was expecting. Of course I didn't know what to expect in the first place, just not this.

"Ok, my first question is what is you full name?"

As Levi was talking I could see a look of longing and a hint of desperation in his eyes. The way he talked about mates kind of made me want to have something like that.

"When you talk about mates like that it sounds so appealing."

"Well that is what I grew up hearing and seeing all around me. When I hear you talking about mates it makes me think that you have only seen the bad side of the mating process. Trust me on this there is a good side and I can't wait until I find my mate, hopefully tomorrow I will find her during the games. By the way I promise that the games are not as bad as you might think. You probably also grew up listening to all the scary tales of the frightening mating games."

"Well I guess I will just have to have an open mind going into them. Can I ask you one more question, since the first one I asked wasn't even really fair?"

"Well you just did, but I guess you can ask one more." He told me trying not to laugh.

"Why don't mates sense each other before the games? How don't they know who their mate is before the games even start?"

"Well the way my parents explained it to me was that a long time ago everyone met their mate on one specific day and nobody knew why then they saw that every year on that day there was a red moon, the red moon enhances the scent of she wolves. Their scent calls out to their male counterpart, but they can only scent them out from a certain distance. That is when the council decided to bring all the unmated wolves together during the blood moon so everyone would have the chance to find their mates. "
