I spent the next day with Adrienne on my mind. Her deep espresso skin, her startling eyes, and the way her full lips curved up in a smile. I could hardly focus on anything else. The prospect of meeting my mate that night was overwhelming. My mind flitted through the possibilities of the life we could have together.
I had gotten off work late that night. I stayed a couple hours after my shift, not wanting to go back to my Grandfather’s house. There was a constant air of stress in that house. My Dad was practically waiting for my Grandfather to slip up and treat my Mom like c**p. Mom was constantly walking around on eggshells, memories from her horrible childhood resurfacing.
I hung my apron up on one of the many hooks lining the Deli’s walls and clocked out. I smelled like cold cut sandwiches, something I wasn’t too fond of.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, kid.” The owner Dev grumbled, his eyes down on the till as he counted twenty dollar bills.
“See ya, Dev.” I nodded, walking out of the Deli. The little bell on the door clanged as it slammed shut, ringing out into the empty street.
It was oddly silent for a night in the city. Usually all of the strange people came out at night, but this time there was no one. A single homeless person was slummed against the wall down one of the many alleys, but he was the only one.
My footsteps pattered against the sidewalk as I tried to remember where the park was located. Just a few blocks down the road, and then a sharp left.
Mom, Dad and I had seen the park as we were driving into town. Many people sat out in the grass or walked their dogs during the day time. At night, it had an entirely different feel to it.
The rushing waters of the fountain sounded loud in comparison to the quiet surroundings. Parts of the grass in the park were lit by crappy street lights. The benches were empty and damp with dew. Sprinklers were going off in clu*ters.
As I walked closer to the park, I could make out a clear figure sitting on one of the benches. I could only see the side of her face, but I knew it was Adrienne. My wolf howled in delight, urging me to walk faster.
Her face lit up as she saw me, my heart fluttering in response. I couldn’t have imagined my mate would be so beautiful, so strong and confident.
“I see you made it in one piece.” Adrienne smiled, her eyes twinkling under the poor streetlights.
“I managed.” I grinned, “It’s awful quiet out here.”
“I like the park at night.” Adrienne shrugged, standing from the bench. Her eyes were locked on the trickling fountain waters, a strange look on her face.
“Look, I’m sure you’re a great guy.” Adrienne opened her full lips, but I couldn’t understand the words that left them.
