Chapter 6 - Wild and fresh
1101 Words
As I was staying and reflecting on what should I do, I go after him, I stay to see maybe it comes for another opportunity, I saw my uncle making a small knob from the head to the head of the army, another cruel man, just like him, and I knew there would not be any longer before the corner the neighbors so they can begin their slaughter. My heart starts pumping and in a blink of an eye, I started to see rivers of blood! Men that are trying to get one another killed by their swords...screams and the sound of the steel all together...I could not distinguish faces but I felt fear of death and desire for survival...I fell down on my knees. I just had a vision! And the scene I was sure was about to happen beneath me in the great Hall. Soon to be the Hall of death and horror. I started to tremble and made myself so small, almost crunching on the floor of fear. It was like my mind couldn't cope with reality. I have never had a vision so intense. Mostly I had blurry dreams that would leave me all cried and with my soul so empty. What changed now? Was Eric the trigger of all this? It did not care anymore. Something bad will happen and it was in my powers to try to stop it!
Then it hit me! The words were coming into my mind and could not stop them, but is what made me leave that pathetic position and help me move up straight and right. I was no humble girl. I am and will be the Queen of this castle, a witch that discovers her powers; but also the daughter of my mother and father! And I won't let ever something or someone reduce me in such a weak position. All my skin got tickles as I felt something. I closed my eyes and could feel my blood was pumping and my heart started to run like crazy...he was near..Eric was near me. All my body started to scream for him.
My legs started to move on their own, like a compass towards the magnetic field. As I was approaching him and leaving my safe place I started to have doubts, What will he say? What if this is only a one-way thing? It was unheard of for a witch to mate an Alpha. Even though I was pretty sure he wouldn't know that I am one, the distrust was there... I shook all these black thoughts down and upraised my chin in pride. Even he would not have feelings for him it was my duty to warn him. To tell him to take all his men and get the hell out of here before hell will break loose!
I wasn`t walking for long when I got out of the castle to a wall that silently opens it up. Like an old friend that would help me and after covers my steps.
I remained near the wall without making any noise and trying to make my eyes used with the night. There were only stars in the sky with no moon and it wasn't so easy to make my eyes see but I did see a man with a torch going at the stables on the other side of the courtyard and it was just a glimpse, but I knew it was him. I almost giggled at the thought and put fast the hand to my mouth. I got so close to him, unbelievable. I panicked a second as I thought someone heard me even it wasn't anybody there, but Eric, and he was just entering the stables.
I started to walk with caution, looking up and down as nobody could spot me, and before I knew I was at the stable door. I tried to get more strength before I got inside. I entered very slow and made a few steps inside widout seeing him and that smell of horse and hay flooded my nose, but I could pick up another scent, wild and fresh. That was his scent. His smell was just like him. Completed him. After I saw from far his looks and moves, his scent invaded my feelings like nothing before. I did not have any wolf genes, but the smell was a thing of mine. It could be repulsive, irresistible, or bring back memories.
"Are you looking for a horse? Or maybe just a ride?"
I've heard his voice behind me. It was such a sensual voice. But I could not remark the humor from his words. It got right under my skin giving me shivers. My quick thought was... "How the hell a man I saw just for a few minutes can have such a big impact on me...?"
I tried to turn fast, following his voice right behind me, and almost fell down as I tripped off my dress. That moment I felt two hard hands around me and I had him so near to my face, leaned on me as he helped me not to fall, and everything around disappeared. It was just me and him. He was breathless! I could see him so surprised looking at me and I could only think I could get lost in those beautiful green eyes. His eyes were mesmerizing. Like a field of clover, I could stare at them for hours I felt how his breath changed and he slowly got me up and got me tight in his arms as he would never let me go. My breath changed too. It was too damn hot being in his arms, squashed at his chest.
I could feel his heart rate pumping in the same fast rhythm as mine. And all the muscles on his abdomen and legs. It was like a Greek statue, that I've read so much about, got me in his arms with the note that he was very much alive and warm. My dress was silky and I felt it like a second skin but that was the reason I felt his skin so well too. I was pretty sure I was having a blush on my cheeks like a little frightened virgin. Like exactly what I was. A thing I wouldn't mention now not even my life would depend on it. As I was struggling with the emotion and the shame he got so close to my face that I could feel his warm breath on my lips whispering
"I could help you with both if you let me."
