Chapter 76
As opposed to what everyone thought, not every werewolf had the opportunity to meet their mates in their lifetime. Most at time people just met, fell in love and started a family.
Meeting one’s mate wasn’t exactly that big of a deal and it was pretty uncommon. Sometimes one met their mate but they were already in love with someone else and maybe already building a family with them and wouldn’t want to throw away all of that.
Some other times the moon goddess just had other plans and put one through a twisted turn of fate and chances.
I had never met my mate and I couldn’t be sure if I ever would, but it didn’t matter much to me because I already had Jessy and no matter what I would always have her in my corner.
But meeting one’s mate could be the singular most amazing thing to ever happen to anyone. The feeling was unlike anything else and it was such a rare gift that it was really appreciated and glorified whenever it happened.
I had heard people that had found their mate describe the feeling as being transported into another world, where only them and their mates existed and everything that they touched or did together felt too wonderful, electrifying even.
So I couldn’t imagine what it must be like for the Alpha to find his mate, be transported into this wonderful and beautiful world and then lose all of that again.
“What happened after she was gone?” I whispered softly, afraid that I might jolt him out of his reverie.
He stayed silent for a long time that I was almost convinced he wouldn’t respond to my question, but finally with a sigh on his lips he did.
“I don’t remember much of anything that happened after her death. It felt like I went off the deep end and when I came. onto again, all that had happened that period was just forgotten He responded, looking at a spot behind my head. I was tempted to turn in that direction to try to find what he was looking at but I didn’t.
“What makes you happy?” He asked out of the blue and surprise took over my frame at the fact that he was actually interested in talking more with me.
“Jessy. She’s my greatest happiness.” I responded and a chuckle escaped his lips.
The frown was gone and his features looked much more relaxed and as a result he looked even younger.
“I think she makes everyone happy.”
I hummed in agreement to his words.
“What about you? What makes you happy now?” I asked.
I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I asked that question but his response wasn’t exactly what I had been expecting.
“You. I like being with you and your presence is the only thing that makes me happy now, it keeps me grounded and satisfied. Our situation is far from ideal, I understand that more than anyone else but I crave it so much. I crave you so much and I don’t want it to end, I want to look for ways to take this even further for us both.”
1 blinked once, then twice. Trying to wrap his words around my mind.
The sincerity in the Alpha’s tone was scary and it was enough to convince me that even when our
situation was far from

ideal, it could still be something amazing
Or was that just wishful thinking? I wanted him so much and not just sexually, I had been introduced to this calmer, ONE open part of him and I only wanted more.
1 was just about to respond to him when my stomach rumbled embarrassingly
I was sure that my entire body flushed red, especially with the heat that I could feel on my nose, cheeks and the tip of my ears. It became even worse when the Alpha let out a loud laugh.
“I guess that’s my cue to feed you. We didn’t have dinner last night before we were hopping at it like bunnies so it’s okay for your tummy to protest.” He said teasingly and I pouted at his words, enjoying the way his eyes crinkled when he let our another laugh again.
