12 : Soulmate

''So you're telling me there are vampires, witches and other paranormal creatures too besides werewolfs?'' It was a shock for me when I heard this.

So every story was true?

''Yes but that is not the important thing here, I'm telling you about our legacy and destiny. You see, I was the next Alpha king after my father was killed so this is my teritory when you first stepped in. I smelled you a mile away and I knew you will be different from other humans who had approached this town,'' Noah explained when he leaned towards and crossed his arms over his chest giving me an intense look to which I gulped.

''How different?''

''Do you know what soulmates mean?'' This question had me freeze on the spot because I started to guess where this was going and I didn't like it.

''Yes?''

''So you know how moon Goodess chooses everyone's other half, our destiny to be together. When I first smelled your scent, it was so sweet and luring, I didn't even think about it until I touched you and knew that you're the one,'' he muttered under his breath like it was giving him pain that fact.

I was confused but mostly I didn't believe the things he was saying. I was just a human, how can I be his other half if that is the thing he is thinking.

''It can't be, I'm sure it is just an misunderstanding,'' awkwardly laughing, his face was in stone and I shut my mouth fast when in a blur he was just sitting and in the next second, the man was in front of me, caging me in while gripping the couch arms and his face inches from mine.

''You're mine, little one and this is no misunderstanding,'' his growl made me jump in fear when his hand took my neck in a tight hold but not in the way that it was hurting. More like a warning.

Sudden sparks and pleasurable power went through me from the place where he was touching me and I whimpered lowering my lashes giving him complete control, it was like my body just gave up and knew its his to do as he pleases. What is wrong with me?

''Feel it now?'' his lips brushed my cheek and his hot breath blew in my face when his thumb gently rubbed my skin under my chin giving me goosebumbs and I let out a shuddering gasp because the sparks I felt, it was heaven.

His hand was bare this time, before it was gloved most of the time and I didn't feel a thing but now? How that was possible?

''I don't understand...'' I whispered like it was our secret to hold on.

''Believe me babygirl, me neither. It was a surprise for me also, I gave up my fated mate long time ago but here you are, in the flesh and in my arms,'' chuckling deeply, Noah finally gave me a room and dropped his hands from me. I felt empty and big regret that he stepped back and looked down at me.

I tried to swallow and talk because he made forget how to even breathe,'' So, what now? Your enemies know that you have a mate and they are trying to kill me?''

Noah signed and rolled his shoulders feeling stiff somehow,'' I'm afraid so. That means you're in danger and have to come with me. I can't keep you safe if you're far away from me and I can't keep an eye on you.''

Now I felt angry even I knew he was just trying to help,'' Wait, I need to give up my life now because some idiots are trying to kill me? What about my job, my home? I just can't walk away,'' trying to reasoning him was useless because I saw his eyes flash in the dark.

''Do you think this is some game I love to play? Your life is on the line and you are thinking about things like that? Until I haven't taken them down, you're in danger so coming with me is the only option right now, got it?'' He sounded and looked angry himself but somehow the fact that I am his mate, I knew he wouldn't hurt me.

''And If I don't come? What then?'' I challanged.

The man let out a dangerous chuckle giving me shivers,'' Then prepare for the force because I can handle disobedience if need to.''

Well, f**k.
