Chapter 810

May – Meeting My Mate I had been so lucky when I was chosen to be part of Queen Trinity's delivery team. I may have been one of the only choices because I was the only wolf that was a nurse anesthetist in the hospital as well as being one of only two non-human anesthetists in the hospital. It was literally a fifty fifty chance that I was going to be chosen to be there when the babies were born. It had been an exciting and busy night. There were four babies instead of three. Queen Trinity and King Reece showed how much they loved each other and how devoted they were to each other. I couldn't help but be jealous and really want something like that for myself. And I admit that I didn't really believe Queen Trinity when she said that I would find my mate eventually. I had been looking for a long time and I still had never found him. I had lived in three different states, worked at different hospitals and was as active in my wolf communities as I could be. And I had never found him yet. I was beginning to think that I didn't have a mate. After the babies were born and settled into the nursery for the night, I went to sleep in the on-call room. I wasn't going to be leaving the hospital until sometime near midnight on the first. That meant that it would be about to become the second. It was going to be a long two days for me, but I wasn't upset about it. I was one of the first people to see the three new princes and the surprise little princess be born. There was no higher honor than that. To be one of the first people to see the birth of such special little babies. I was just happy to be here even if it was a really long day. The day was moving on and I was doing work more along the lines of a pediatric nurse rather than an anesthetist. I was going with the babies to see the doctors. They needed tests done and various procedures to make sure that they were healthy. Given that they were born from multiple birth with such a high count, they had to follow hospital procedure. I knew this was hard on Queen Trinity and King Reece, they just wanted to see their babies, but it was allowing them to recover a little before having to care for the babies so much. When I was helping the other nurses take the three boys, Zachary, Zander and Zayden, back to the room, I didn't think that anything out of the ordinary would happen. I didn't expect to walk into that room and suddenly start smelling the best scent I had ever come across in my entire life. I also didn't expect that the wolf buried deep inside of me would be standing at attention and telling me that the man that I had been looking for was in this very room. It hadn't even been an entire day since Queen Trinity had told me that I was going to find my mate. It was completely unexpected and so quick. The only problem was that there were a lot of men that had come to see Queen Trinity. Which one of them was my mate then? Who was it that I was looking for? I was at a loss here, and I had to keep my cool because there were people among us that might not know what was going on. Specifically, the human nurses that had come with me. ..... I was so happy when Queen Trinity asked the others to leave and told me to stay. She had figured out what was happening right away. And thanks to her, I was able to meet Rudy. His name was Rudoplhus Desmodius and he was a demon. That didn't matter to me though. He was the most handsome man I had ever seen. He even made me forget about King Reece and that was a feat. Then again, that could have just been the magic of true love and fate at work here. After we got to meet and talk a little bit at the hospital, we both had to get back to work. He was training to be a guard for the royal family and had come back to this world with Queen Trinity after she had ventured into the underworld to save and protect us all. She was such an amazing queen. The day after I met Rudy I didn't have to work. I was happy about that. And since he was just training and not actually working, he was given some time off. Then again, I had a feeling that the royal family was very lenient with their staff. Queen Trinity seemed to be an amazing person. Rudy, only having been in this world for a couple of months, didn't know how to drive, that meant that I needed to pick him up for our date. I was usually so shy and reserved when I met new people like this, and I never was the one to take the initiative this way. I was so old school that it had really made me not have very many relationships at all. I think it was that he was my mate that I was even doing this at all. I didn't want to go inside the castle when I got there to pick him up. I didn't usually go in there and it made me nervous when I did. Even though I was working directly with the king and queen at the hospital, being in their home just seemed different somehow. Rudy came out of the house to get into my car after the guard at the door told him I was there. I was trying not to shake as I waited for him, hoping that it wasn't all some dream or something that I had made up. It would be just like me to have made up this whole thing in a sleep deprived state of exhausted daydreaming. It wasn't until Rudy came out of the extremely large building that I started to feel relieved. Well, this proved that he was real at least. Let's just hope that it continues going well and that he actually knows who I am as well. Was I a total creep or a perv because I watched him intently as he walked down the stairs and came toward me? Was that a bad thing? Was I like totally wrong here? I mean, I was ogling him. I was turning him into some sort of love god inside of my mind, and I didn't even know if he would want to be with me that way. I was getting way ahead of myself here. We just met yesterday. I hadn't even held his hand yet. I hadn't hugged him. I hadn't kissed him. We hadn't done anything at all yet. And here I was imagining him naked and doing things to me that I had never thought about before in my life. I mean, I have never done them with anyone else. They were all just stupid fantasies that came out of nowhere. I didn't even know that they were my fantasies until this moment either. Oh Goddess, I think that my inexperience is going to become a major issue here. I was always just a good girl, so I didn't really do stuff like this all that much. And because of that, I had only even been with one man in the past. And that had been when I was in college six years ago. I was almost thirty now and I was practically a virgin. What was this man going to say about that when he found out? I needed to calm down. If I didn't, I was likely to hyperventilate and pass out while sitting here in my car. That would just be great, May. Let's let that happen to us right now so we can make the man that we want as our mate run for the hills. That would just be perfect. Hahh! I had to stop with the sarcasm and self loathing at the moment. I needed to woman up and deal with this right now, because Rudy was literally about to get into my car. And that meant that if I hadn't imagined it all, I would be going on a date with my mate for the very first time. The door opened and Rudy slid into the passenger seat. I was once again struck by his scent and felt that immediate connection and jolt of surprise all over again. It was so intoxicating that it made me want to keep sniffing the air like I was a dog. Well, I was a wolf but that was besides the point. “U..uh..uhm, H..h..hi.” I stuttered my way through the most awkward greeting of my life. And the smile I was wearing probably made me look like a lunatic! GAH! I was so bad at all of this. I could just imagine it now. Rudy was going to get scared off by my stupid face. He was going to get out of the car and run away. He would probably even go back to the underworld so that he never had to see me again. And then I was going to be left all alone forever. That would just be my luck. “Hello May. I am so happy to see you.”
