“I’m good, going to grab souvlaki at the stand on the corner and then go for a quick run.” I replied.

I sat at the north end of the docks eating my chicken souvlaki pita. I couldn’t stop thinking about her and it worried me. I never wanted a mate for this exact reason. Eros must have already figured out my connection to her and wanted her. Why did he want her? Eros and I usually stayed in our own separate lanes.

“She’s an adorable little creature.” Dom practically purred at me.

“What the fuck, are you a cat all of the sudden?” I’ve never heard him sound so soft and I’m sure that was a purr.

My scent had been masked and my eyes were behind dark sunglasses, she might not be aware that she’s my mate. I walked towards the forest and stepped out of my clothes before I shifted. I let Dom run off some steam and he really wanted to find his mate and claim her. “I’m picking up her scent.” He told me.

“We can’t approach her; she’ll be with her friends. Let’s see if we can find their things and get an I.D. on her.” I told him.

Minutes later, I found her dress and backpack. I shifted back at a bush and quickly opened her bag up. Money, magazine, towel, sunglasses, cell phone, vanilla lip balm and a lighter. Why did she have a lighter? She doesn’t smoke. No identification, DAMN!

I shifted back and Dom started sniffing her clothes and rolled around on them. “ENOUGH!” I yelled at him. He then picked up a piece of her swimsuit in his mouth and we ran back to our clothes.

When I shifted, I noticed that Dom had grabbed her bikini bottom. I stared at it for a moment and then lifted it to my nose. Big mistake! Her scent sent a burning desire for her shooting through my body.

I’m in big fucking trouble!

Chapter 11 – Plan

I felt anxious all day and couldn’t focus on classes, I was thinking about everything Niko told me. Athens was full of beautiful young women; Eros could have his pick! Why me?

No one in Greece really knew who I was, except for Kosta, and even he didn’t know much about me. Maybe I should ask Kosta to help me with Angela? I considered this for a while but then decided against it because he will report back to my father and I’d be on the next flight out of here. No way in hell I wanted to be sent to school near home, I was finally free to do what I wanted, when I wanted.

I wasn’t going to be able to do this by myself and I wasn’t exactly sure how I felt about Niko or who he worked for. It was time to tell Rocky and Leo, they were my only wolf friends and might have some ideas. I texted both of them and asked them to meet at Richy’s Temple of Sweets after class.

An hour later, I was standing in front of the ice cream shop. I looked into the window and Rocky wasn’t there yet. “Raven.” I heard Leo call as he walked down the sidewalk towards me.

“Hey Leo.” I waved at him.

“Is Rocky here yet?”

“No, I was just waiting.”

“Her last class should have been over five minutes ago, I’m sure she’s on her way. Let’s go inside and check out Richy’s specials for today.” He said and we stepped inside.

“Hello, Hello!” We were greeted by the owner Richard, who was behind the counter in his apron.

“Hi Richard, what are the specials for today?” I asked.

“We have the Kaimaki, which is a chewy Greek ice cream with a sour cherry syrup and topped with chopped pistachio. We also have a new creamy and smooth banana ice cream topped with chocolate shavings.” He said.

“I’ll try the banana.” Rocky said from behind us, she had just entered the shop.

“The Kaimaki sounds good.” I said.

“Make that two Kaimaki’s.” Leo added.

I paid for all of our ice creams and we sat in the back corner booth that we regularly occupied at Richy’s Temple of Sweets.

“Raven, is everything okay?” Rocky asked me digging into her ice cream.

What a loaded question. Where do I even start? I took a deep breath and just started telling them.

“Remember when we went to the club and the beast was there? Well, I recently discovered that the man dancing with me was indeed Alpha Eros, the mafia underboss.”

“Oh Goddess! I’m so glad we didn’t stick around.” Rocky said.

“I wish it was that easy. I think my father has someone watching me, maybe. That Niko guy I met at Delphi is Kosta’s nephew and he told me that Eros was after me. He also told me that Angela was accidentally abducted by his men instead of me.”

“What?” Leo said with a shocked look on his face.

“They were sent to pick me up, I was with her that night. Angela and I had just left the library and I stopped to get dinner at Cristopalous Taverna, she walked back alone. We both have long dark hair and we’re about the same size.” I said.

“Except she’s human! How the hell did they miss that?” Leo said.

“So many wolves mask their scent around here, maybe they thought she had taken the same herb you take.” I added.

“If Angela doesn’t turn up, the inspector will be out any day now sniffing around. You’ll be the first person they interview.” Rocky told me.

“I doubt she will leave
