The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 2

Two: Revelations

Mykayla

OH, FUCKING HELL!! That is what is going through my head right now. The freaking gorgeous guy I saw yesterday is my fucking boss. I am beginning to think the world hates me. How in the hell am I supposed to get any work done around him? Being that close to him for the last four hours was amazing but torturous at the same time. Dustin, at least now I had a name to go with that fucking sexy face and body. Shit, what am I thinking? I shouldn’t be thinking like this about my boss. Being this close and smelling his amazing scent made my body tingle in ways that it hasn't before. I haven’t thought about dating other men since before my parents died. Damn, he smells amazing, I thought. He smells like a fresh ocean breeze with a hint of an evergreen tree. Ok, I have to pull myself together if this is going to work. He is my boss and besides he’s too gorgeous for me anyway. I am sure I am too young for him, being that I just turned 20 two months ago. I put the papers down on my desk and headed toward the lunch area. I get the lunch that I brought and sit down at a table in the corner. I need time to process all of this. I begin to think about my past. I have only had one other boyfriend, and that only lasted six months. We are still friends, but then everything with my parents happened, and my love life got shoved to the back burner. I sometimes wish I could date, but right now, the girls are my priority. I am actually afraid to bring a man into my life because of the girls. I don’t want anyone hurting them in any way. I continue to eat my lunch. I finish and bring my empty lunch bag back with me, so I remember to take it home. I sit down and begin to work on all the built-up paperwork. Mr Trudeau explained that many items had been pushed back since his last assistant left. I have been working for a couple of hours when I feel someone standing in front of me. Please don’t be Dustin. I don’t think I can handle that right now. I just got myself under control. I look up. It's not Dustin, but good god, how much fucking eye candy is walking around this damn building.

“Hi, my name is Kaleb. Do you know if Dustin is in?” Kaleb asks me with a sexy smile.

“Yes, he is. Do you have an appointment?” I ask.

“It’s fine Mykayla, he is my best friend and largest pain in my ass,” Dustin yells from his office.

I realized his office door was open and heard our conversation. Kaleb smiles at me again and turns to walk into the office. He closes the door, and I sigh out loud. Damn, another sexy as hell man. Kaleb is probably the same height as Dustin, but Kaleb has curly black hair and bright hazel eyes. He has an olive complexion but the same body built as Dustin. Ok, focus back to work, I tell myself. I am able to get through the rest of the workday without many more issues. I am straightening my desk when he walks out of his office. I give him a smile and reach down to grab my purse and lunch bag. When I stand back up, he is still there watching me. I instantly get nervous, but there is another feeling there that I can’t explain.

“Is something wrong?” I ask quietly.

“No, I figured I could accompany you to your car since I am parked not too far away.” He explains.

“Oh thank you,” I reply with a smile.

We walk to the elevator and step inside. I am anxious about being around him, but his presence also calms me. Our hands accidentally touch, and an electric spark shoots up my arm. I suck in a breath and keep looking forward. What the hell was that? Why does he make me feel this way? We stand in silence until the door opens, and we continue to our vehicles. He is parked to my left about three spots down. I turn to walk to my car. He grabs my hand before I get too far. I turn and look into his crystal ice blue eyes.

“See you tomorrow, Mykayla”, He whispers to me.

“Yes see you tomorrow Mr. Trudeau.” I stutter out.

“Call me Dustin, Mykayla,” He says in that voice.

I laugh at the two of them because they start to whine about not being tired and wanting to visit with me. They are ten years old and think they are going on 16. All my mother has to do is raise one of her eyebrows, give them the look, and slowly drag themselves to their rooms. After they are in bed, my parents look at me.

“What’s up, son? I can see that something is bothering you.” my father says, concerned.

“It’s nothing, bad dad. I found my mate.” I happily replied.

This makes my mother squeal in delight. She actually starts bouncing on the couch she is sitting on. My father looks over at her and laughs. I start to explain the situation and that she is human. I also explained the younger sister and other girls.

“Would you like me to find out about her son?.” my father asks.

“Yes and no. I don’t want to spy but I feel like I need to know. She seems like she is sad about something. I am not worried about her being human. Are you?” I explain and ask.

Both of my parents have no issue with her being human. They voice their concern about our way of life and that it might scare her. They tell me to take it slow with her and keep my emotions under control. I know what they mean; werewolves are possessive and guard our mates closely by nature.
