The Witch, the hunter and the Alpha

Chapter 5 - The desire

I stood and stared for quite some time now. The man destined for me was a magnificent piece. I was used to seeing good-looking men from my uncle's army, but him, omg almost all the girls invited there were on him like bees on honey, and he just stood there looking so indifferent and cold. Like he was so much better than them and everybody else. I caught his eyes more than once looking in my direction even, used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected though. However, I knew there was no chance for him to know I was there. I couldn't stop staring into those deep green eyes. I could see he was a man born to lead becoming the next Alpha King. His dark hair was making a wonderful contrast with his beautiful eyes. Also, hair was the perfect length just near shoulders, curious hands of a lady to grab it while engaging a sweet, deep kiss. Couldn't help myself to come near the wall while letting the fantasy take over me, he was looking even more intense at the walls now frowning and not letting women. An adult coming too close to him. He stood up really quickly and let me have a whole view of him and oh dear, what a view. So tall and full of muscles, I could see he was used to heavy work and fighting, riding and all the small amount of things I could hear about him he was doing them perfectly, with no flow. He surprised the girls when he went up so quickly, almost frightening them, and I was sure that he can fright someone if he would want to. They went one step back each of them making him room to move. He started to slowly walk to where his father was, I supposed, an older version of him, and let me once more enjoying his back and making me in just a few seconds imagining all kinds of hot scenes that I didn't have not even in my wildest dreams. While I had all these kinds of thoughts in my head, even he could not see me or imagining my existence, less alone behind the walls where I was hiding I could feel the electricity in the air, and I was sure he could feel it too.

He was walking towards his father, all the men in his path were making their way to pass and my heart wanted to go out of my chest seeing all that majesty in one man! My man! I never thought fall so folly for a man, but I also never thought I would find my soul mate, my one true love. Now I was wondering what he would say if he knew me, he would feel the bond immediately? Would he wish to help and protect me? With all my powers, in a world of men, I needed the protection of one. And who would be better if not HIM! My uncle would not stand a chance in front of him. I was sure he would get furious when he will find out I fled, and would not let a single rock unturn until he would find me. Then it hit me and got me the shivers. I have been to leave just because he was going to manslaughter all his invites to put his greedy hands on their lands even. He took advantage because always was peace between these 2 lands and would kill for the neighbor's land. But now I know Eric was my soulmate, I could have him, his father, or his men killed. No and No. When I left my room, I had the goal of saving them, but now seeing them at this banquet with all my uncle's men, it would have been impossible for me to save them or warn them. And also, why would they believe me, my snake of an uncle could defeat me very easily at this capturing me and putting me again inside my tower. I was in all the conversation with myself when I saw Eric leaving his father and going towards the exit in the yard. Two girls run to him and clenched his big arms, making my heart stop two beats when I saw him easily shaking them off, and he was out of my sight. I started trembling and wondering myself what should I do? Risk it and talk to him about what my uncle was planning our stay there and hope I will create a diversion. That was a very hard decision I had to make and hoped was my best ...                    

I found myself looking at a man like a God and almost drooling for him, and debate how to save him because he was in real danger. And this right after I stepped out of my room. This was quite something.

Eric’s P.O.V

I felt so awkward. My place wasn’t around all those people...if only it wasn’t for my father… I tried to swallow that awful wine that the King was offering us but I could not. I would let it only touch my lips to not offend our neighbor, but that was nothing compared with what we’re having on our vast domains. I could not tell exactly how long I was staying like that. Trying to make conversation, instructing the pack and our guards with signs to be in guard. My father would have told me that I’m insane, but I knew what my guts were telling me. We need to keep our guard up because we came into the house of a man that would burn down his own son in the public square if he was knowing for sure that would bring him benefits. All kind of people was there, and for a banquet, our neighbor was having a lot of guards around the walls and out. It was like a dance, who would make the first step. The whores were there to entertain the guests but I am no fan of that. I am engaged and in love. Not so common our days. My beautiful soon-to-be wife was waiting for me at the castle, and all of this laugh of banquet made me sick already. 

I don’t know why, but strangely I had the most bizarre feeling like someone was watching me. Intensely! I turned around really quickly to see if Irene, my fiance, came later after us, but no. She wasn’t there. I have asked her a few times to come with us but she refused me all the time, saying a barbaric meal filled with barbarians men. I had the quick idea to go and check the stables, to see if she did not come but I can find her at the banquet. For her own good, I hope she remained at home because this wasn’t a place for her, and I wouldn’t be very happy with her arrival. After all, she was accurate with the barbarians. None there was gentlemen and all the present women were w***e. Paid to please. It was odd tho, I never had this feeling around her. I know we are soulmates, even if she’s a common girl and I am future Alpha, but what I am feeling now has no comparison. Widout any doubt, I must search for her at the stables. Just in case she made the mistake to come. While I was heading out my father asked me where I was going, and not to do anything stupid. I smirked at him widout answering him. Anyways, he was half drunk, and even if he wasn’t, I couldn’t explain exactly what happened to me. I went to the stables. There was an invisible wire that would draw me there, and that is why I was sure Irene it was there. That odd feeling would not leave me. When I got there I have searched up and down, but she wasn't there. I would recognize her horse but it was not the case. The horse was missing so it was her, so now my question was, why I was keeping to have that feeling? What was the meaning of it? Behind me, I heard the door opening and the sweetest smell surrounded me and made me grow in me the need to possess HER! Because I was sure it was a she who had entered! Like a rabbit that entered into a hole not know there was a wolf hiding...
