3/4 Book1 Chapter24 Twin Alphas P.O.V. * From splitting off from the group during the fight to look for Ava * Their wolves were singing in joy the moment they entered the building . It was clear that Ava had come this way . Their wolves joy was short lived when Avas blood became the dominant scent . Ryders wolf was yelling , GO TO MATE ! PROTECT MATE ! MATE IN DANGER ! He winced at the loud noise in his head . He knew that Asher was going through the same thing . Quickly , they went down the stairs that Josh and Chris had shown them on the map . After that , they followed their mates scent . They remember the first time they ever saw her . * Flashback * Ryders P.O.V. I didnt want to be at this party right now neither did my twin Asher . The only reason we came here in the first place was to sign the bloody treaty . They couldnt leave because it would be considered rude to leave the party that the Crescent pack threw in their honor . Not like anyone would notice if they were gone . Everyone was drunk out of their minds . True , but we are too , mind linked Asher . As twins , we could read each others thoughts unless one of us had a block up . Asher and I were only drunk because if we werent this would have been unbearable . Of course , we were probably the most sober ones here . I mean at least we still had some connection to our wolf . I was scanning the crowd for a good lay . Asher and I had practically given up on finding our mate , so we slept around a lot . Then , we smelled it , the most delicious smell of cinnamon , under the putrid smell of teenagers , it was like a breath of fresh air . My wolf informed me , MATE ! GO TO MATE ! I paused not wanting to seem over eager to the one person my brother and I would be with for the rest of our lives . If we found her , Asher and I always agreed that we would stop our wandering ways or her . On the dance floor we saw her . All the women we had been with before paled in comparison to her . She was controlling the dance floor , oblivious of the amount of boys who wanted to dance with her . Asher and I couldnt keep our eyes off of her . I was personally literally staring holes in her skull . All Book1 Chapter24 1/3 I wanted was for her to look at me and I would be complete . She then turned towards us as if she could hear my thoughts . The moment she saw us her dance turned more seductive and I was turned on . I had every intention to approach her when she was sober . But now it was too much to resist . I walked over with Asher , sandwiching her between us while dancing . I had never felt more content than right now . I told her , If you keep dancing like that , you might get hurt . She didnt listen , but kept dancing . The dancing turned to grinding and I felt my wolf take control as well as Ryders. Ryder said , We need to get somewhere more private fast , dont ya think ? She nodded her approval and her wolves didnt need anything more as we carried her off . We barely made it to the room before I started to kiss her on the lips while Ryder trailed kisses down her collarbone . It was bliss . * Flashback over * Ashers P.O.V. The memory of her scent was overwhelming as was the memory of the only night we spent together . I was so mad the next morning to discover that I was back at the guest house where we were staying and she was gone . According to Alice , it was quite a scene to behold . * Flashback * I was sleeping off my hangover and my contentment of finally finding our mate . I couldnt wait to wake up next to her every day . Then , I heard sobbing . That woke me up more quickly than a bucket of ice cold water . Why would my mate be crying ? The moment I opened my eyes I knew something was wrong . I was in MY bed with Ryder , but no mate . I shook Ryder awake , trying to keep my wolf from taking over again . Once he was awake , I asked , Why is our mate gone ? How are we home again ? That had Ryder bolting out of the room to look for our mate . I quickly followed him . Ryder had more of a temper than I do .
