It happened in a split second, weaving through the crowd.
People's scents are just white noise to me. Background static I've learned to tune out. That's how it's always been. So why the hell am I already spinning around?
Something ignited in my chest—a rush of heat that made my head spin. A scent so intensely sweet it felt like it was burning straight through my sinuses.
What the actual fuck?
When's the last time my hands shook like this? My throat went bone dry. Every nerve in my body lit up like a goddamn Christmas tree. My heart was pounding so hard I could taste it.
A scent so overwhelming it obliterated the wall between instinct and logic in one brutal hit.
Hold on—that smell just now...
My feet moved without asking permission. I followed the trail like a bloodhound, pushing through bodies until I found her—just some random girl in the crowd.
—No. That's not right. Not random at all.
I found her. The "destined mate" I was convinced was total mythology.
Just seeing her from behind made me dizzy, that sickeningly sweet scent wrapping around my throat like a noose. Her lingering pheromones violently dragged the beast in me kicking and screaming to the surface.
Hey... you there.
I called out to this girl whose name I didn't even know. She—Guest—turned around to face me.
The second our eyes met, every doubt evaporated.
—It's her. Has to be her. The one person on this whole damn planet who could make me feel... hungry.
...Shit. Didn't want to believe in this fairy tale crap, but here we are. So this is what having a "mate" feels like.
My boring-ass world just exploded into technicolor.
