Chapter 8
Yonekuni POV
Throughout the entire lunch, I could not help but notice her. My eyes unconsciously wander to her table. Her interactions with the other males were cumbersome in the beginning. As time passes the little touches that the other males give her, slowly but surely awakens my dragon's anger. My soul flares in rage more than a handful of times throughout lunch, scaring the customers in my arms. Any other day I would not mind the female body draping on me as I am still searching for my mates, in fact I welcome their touches, even better being paid for it.
After I have inhaled her scent everything changes. Both my soul and body were disgusted with their touch. Even the slightest contact that leaves their scent on me, makes my skin crawl in disgust. I do not know what draws me to her. She is beautiful, but she cannot be compared to the drop dead gorgeous beauty that is often in my arms, well, in my arms now. Yet, she effortlessly caught my attention, I want to argue that the fact that her scent is that of a monkey.
Another touch. Baring my teeth, I restrain my soul. She is mine. My soul hums in agreement, yet underneath that the anger of her interactions with her coworkers still angers us.
I did not realize how spellbound I was by her until she stood to leave with her companions. I tried to stand, but the hands latching my arms refused to let go, reminding me that I was with my customers. How that must have looked to her, I wonder if that was why she refused to look toward me. Would she have graced me with her attention if I was unaccompanied? Suddenly, my job no longer looked as appealing as it once was. Not at the expense of losing my mate.
… Is she? Could she be my missing mate?
With that realization, I excuse myself as politely as possible. Running to catch up to my possible mate, but by the time I was out the door I already lost the sight of her. Her scent was washed away by the sea of monkeys in the busy rush hour.
Cursing myself for not realizing sooner, she was so close! At least he now knows that she is in the city. He will turn the city upside down if he has to, he is not going through another year, another month, another week without his mate!
