Alastair

Alastair thrashed back and forth, drenched in sweat. He woke with flames shooting from his hands lighting his window curtains aflame. "Fuck." I groaned as I got up to put the fire out. I walked over holding my hand out with my palm up calling my dearest friends back to where they belong. The flames bounced along my fingers towards my palm until they reached the mark on my wrist, once they were there they settled back where they belong.  "I'll have to get those replaced." I said rubbing my face in annoyance. As I walked towards the washroom  I recalled the dream I had it gripped me tightly ripping me from my sweet slumber. It was more like a nightmare than a dream. It was her. My mate. After 1,495 years alone I wasn't sure I wanted a mate or my soul. Nerveless I had no choice in the matter, she was ready to be claimed and if  I did not do so in a timely manner we would both die and that wasn't going to happen. After I was finished in the washroom I walked over to the call speaker near the door, pushing the button buzzing the maids courters, than I waited for a reply. It was talking to long. "Yes Sir?" I heard Matilda on the other line say. "Why did you take so long to answer my call?" I said in a gruff baritone voice. Her breathing quicken, I know exactly how to pull at her. It use to be fun but now it was an annoyance. "I'm sorry Sir, I will be right up." she said quickly. I went into my closet finding a pair of lose fitting sweat pants. They were my favorite pair, but they were becoming to lose on my waist, they clung to my hips just above my manhood. I needed a new pair a soft knock came from my door pulling my out of my rambling thoughts.   "Enter" I said Matilda walked in with a sly smile on her face as she saw what I was wearing. "Sir, is there anything I can do for you?" she asked in the way I enjoyed before, now it made me sick. "Change the curtains, I need this room spotless, the only scent I want in here is from me." I said walking to my desk. I needed to check a couple of things before setting off to claim what's mine. "Of course Sir" She said as she walked towards me. "Is there anything else I can help you with?" as she pawed at my pants. "You are never to touch me again. Your touch makes me sick, my body is for my mate." I growled grabbing her wrists moving them away from me.  She looked  at me wide eyed and than spun on her heals ripping the curtains from their rods. I could here her growling and throwing a tantrum. She'll get over it or not I thought to myself. Now back to my task, I need to find her. I started looking through everything I had. So many faces none of them hers not until the last one. "Esme" I breathed. She was perfect. I needed to see her now. I walked into my closet again changing into a pair of worn blue jeans, boots and a white t-shirt. Walking into the washroom I looked at myself in the mirror, combing my hand through my thick long unruly hair. I look fine I thought to myself I wasn’t going to fetch her this very evening I just wanted to lay my eyes on her. With that I went to my balcony opening my large wings wrapping them around me as I transported myself in front of her home. It was modest, nothing fancy but it looked comfortable for a humans home. I walked closer to the window hoping to see her. I did but I didn’t like what I saw. She was sitting there on her knees in front of dogs lifeless body. Her face was in her hands as she sobbed. I let our an low growl hating to see my mate in pain. I would fix this, I would give her one of the best companions she could ever ask for. One that would protect her no matter the cost while I was away. My attention was snapped back to my mate as I saw a man turn the corner, he walked up behind her grabbing a fist full of her beautiful long dark brown hair, ripping her head back to look him, he spat something at here than kicked the lifeless body of her companion. He than dragged her off into another part of the house. I lost all control, letting my dark sadistic demon side take control. I kicked through the door breaking it in half, I could her screaming and painful sobs. I walked quickly into the back bedroom swinging the door open I saw the man wrapping ropes around my mates wrists as he punched her in the face for fighting him. I was on him before he could process what was happening, I ripped his arms off throwing them to the side than I sank my sharp teeth into his neck ripping at it until his lifeless body feel to my feet.  I stood up radiating anger in every direction. "Thank you…" a soft musical voice said behind me. "Thank you for saving me." Before I could change back into my human form I turned to look at her, she pushed herself back agaisnt the headboard with a gasp. I quickly exited the room, walking into her very small washroom I changed back and cleaned the blood from my face and hands. My shirt was f****d so I took it off throwing it in the trash bin next to her sink. I took a deep breath as I ran my hand threw my hair fixing the stray strands. I walked back into her room and saw I forgot to untie her before exiting. "f**k" I cursed at myself. I walked over to her slowly with my hands out to show her I wasn’t going to hurt her, I slowly and gently untied her wrists, she rubbed them slightly looking up at me with a beaming smile. "It's you." she said.
