“Did you say Your Mate?”.
Every one on the table turned their attention to me. I just kept mute looking at them. If they are waiting for me to say it again, then they are on their own.
“Of course she is mate. If not why will Xander be looking at her? I mean have you ever seen him take interest in anybody before?”.
“OMG dah!!!! My brother has finally grown up. He has found his soulmate!”. My sister Alissa screamed girlishly.
And ladies and gentlemen that’s what happens when your younger sibling is mated before. She once told me that I should give her the respect I give to a married woman quoting that she “is a married women” since in the werewolves constitution once you are mated, you are seen as a married couple.
Alissa went on ranting on and on before she paused; “wait do you even know her name?”.
“I just saw her today for the first time”. I said as I gave her a mind your business look. But being a stubborn girl, she turned a blind eye at me.
“Don’t worry elder brother, since she is my future sister-in-law, Ivory and I will befriend her on your behalf”. Alissa winked at me.
And just like that all of them started talking about how they would help as if I asked them.
Although am actually grateful that they are all trying to help but am not going to them them that and have Alissa’s head grow bigger than it is already.

Soon it was closing time, and we are currently on our way to our parking space.
“Omg look! It’s Xander’s mate!”. Alissa screamed. God that girl loves to scream for no reason. I looked and saw my mate who looks as if she is waiting for someone.
“Alissa you can’t go on screaming that, please we are in the public”. Allen scolded her. As we pass by my mate, all them turned to look at her. But I didn’t because am afraid that if I do, I will do something out of the ordinary. Already just by standing near, I can feel my heart beating irregularly. I did my possible best and passed her without looking.

“Wow she is really beautiful!”
“So true!”
“Xander you have a beautiful mate”.
They kept on commenting until we reached our parking spot.
As soon as we reached home, I quickly went to my room and logged into the net and browse on how to toast a girl.
Even though I didn’t tell anyone, the truth is that an confused about the whole situation. If she is a wolf, it will have been better because she will knowledge about mates already.
But she is a human. And humans are very complicated especially in the area of love and relationships. I have to court her like the humans do. Am not even sure if she will accept me or not.
I waited for my googled results:
How to toast a girl: the ultimate guide
1. Do not rush her. First of all, do not come off as
being too pushy. ..
2. Be brave and confident. ...
3. Hang out with other girls. ...
4. Take care of your hygiene. ..
5. Make her laugh. ..
6. Be sincere and open with her. ..
7. Prove to her that you truly like her.
8. Compliment her often.
I studied the results on and on. It sound very easy. The biggest problem is how am going to approach her.
I have never in my life approach anybody for relationships sake because I told myself that I will wait for my mate and experience everything with her.
Old fashioned I know. But that’s what I want.
Just then, I got a knock on my door and was informed that lunch is ready.
I went downstairs for lunch and almost everyone was giving me a creepy smile. O heavens! Let it not be that big mouthed Alissa told everyone that I have found my mate because I will kill her. I might not really kill but I will make her life a living hell. I was already getting tired of all the unnecessary stares i am getting form people, it is very uncomfortable. Mum most have noticed my distress.
“Will everyone please stop looking at Xander? Can’t you see how uncomfortable he is?”. Mom address all them at the table and I threw her a grateful look.
