The temperature in the room lowered and I shivered. The two men that were holding me let go and stepped aside.
Goose bumps rose on my skin and the urge to flee was stronger though my feet couldn't bare to move. My gaze brave as it pinned on him.
I couldn't deny the fact that he was really so handsome, his beautiful black eyes were like a hole that sucked at my soul. His beautiful thin lips pressed in a hard line.
You could see the coldness and harshness in his eyes that made me shiver, I realised that my poisonous mouth led me to this.
I bit on my lower lip, watching his every step. My hands were sweating so hard that I had to wipe them on my clothes.
He is my mate but why am I so scared of him, he wouldn't hurt me right.
With that I felt my nerves calm down a bit but I stopped when I remembered how he looked at me a while ago.
I was a rejected mate, why didn't I just keep quiet. I came out of my rivalry when I noticed that he was now in front of me.
My senses were immediately blown away by the sweet scent that attacked my senses, my heart pumped harder in my chest and every word that I could think of to save myself was stuck down in my throat.
His tall body intimidated my small frame, the closeness make me itch to touch him. My doe gray eyes locked with his and immediately I was drawn to the world in them.
He reached out his hand towards my face and my eyes fell shut as a shiver rushed down my spine. Am very sure he is about to slap me.
I waited but it didn't happen, my eyes flew open and there was no one in here except me as if to confirm my thoughts the door was banged close and I was startled.
My hand flew to my chest and I took a few minutes to calm down.
I felt so frustrated because of being locked inside here once again, weren't he about to let me go and now am here again. Even though I was about to step outside am not sure that the conditions out there would be favourable here.
I walked back to the corner where I was a while ago and silently sat down, I pulled my knees to my chest and hugged them tight.
I didn't expect the pain of being rejected by a mate was so badly, my chest ached so badly and silent tears streamed down my face. Even though I acted strong on the outside, despair was dragging me down each second.
He rejected me, every cold look in his eyes was like a needle making me drown in more pain. I sobbed quietly though there was no one in here it didn't mean that he didn't leave guards at the door, I didn't want any of them to hear me.
If he didn't want me then he would have let me go, I wanted to start my own life and prepare my self to avenge my people.
Recalling how my father used to look at me dotingly, I really wanted to cry and hide in his embrace and tell him all about this mate that rejected me but that couldn't happen anymore.
I could sermon his soul but I was too weak to do that, I had develop myself to the true white witch that I am.
But I can’t do that when I am locked down here, what am I to do. I couldn't cry here like a coward but what should I do so this guy can let me go.
There was only way in which he could still hold me captive while I advance in my strength and that is to work for him.
Being pampered since childhood I didn't have much skill in anything but I could do every chore with my spells. I can't believe that me a saintess of the witchcraft tribe had to beg that egoistic jerk to be his maid.
At least he would not kill me or keep me here, I am his mate after all. Settled in the corner with strands of white hair down in my face I looked on and waited for his return.
I knew it was going to be a hard to be within his reach but can't touch him, didn't father tell me that if you meet your mate it would be very hard to keep your hands away from him.
But I had to stay away and avoid him at any cost, he didn't want me.
From all the crying and thinking I hadn't noticed the white light that moved from deep within my heart, my white hair shone brightly and my gray eyes emitted a deep blue.
I felt like something was draining every ounce of energy in me and my soul until I looked up.
The white light was still moving out of my chest and a wind blew around me causing my glowing white hair to fly along and more strands fell in to my face.
I stared at the white light unwaveringly as it started to move in circles before it stopped and started to fuse in to some thing.
The light became more bright and intense that it was so hard to continue looking or I will be blinded, I immediately shut my eyes but it was still their.
I cried out in my pain when I felt something like a needle weasel it's way out, sweat beaded my forehead and my lips trembled.
My face paled and a cry of agony escaped from my lips, I fell to floor limply with no energy to fight back.
My closed eyes slowly opened and my eyelashes trembled softly, I caught sight of a white pearl that lay on the floor and if I wasn't to weak my eyes would have widen in realisation...
The soul pearl
No one ever told me that the soul pearl had to come from deep within some one, I slowly reached on my still numb hands and carried it in my palm.
It was a bit warm, as I drifted into the unconscious state my hand gently wrapped around it, I didn't notice that it had disappeared.
I can't tell how long I was a sleep but wherever I was it was too comfortable to wake up. I slow opened my eyes and it was so dark that I had to take a minute to adjust.
Slowly I could see properly that I was no longer in that damned place locked away, am in a beautiful large bedroom, though it was so dark I could simply make out a few stuff like the bed I was sitting on and the couch at the side.
"Since you're awake, I hope you won't mind cleaning up my bed before you leave " A very arrogant voice cut through my thoughts as I looked around.
My head immediately snapped to the other end of the room, he was sitting by a desk.
A glass of wine in his hand, the small night that illuminated into the room from the moon outside through the open balcony door lit up a side of his face.
He looked so sexy, just sitting there but I had to refrain my admiring gaze but that didn't stop my heart from drumming hard. The attraction in my veins every time he was close was killing me.
I felt a dryness in my throat and I felt a burning session up my neck to my cheeks which must be red by now, I lowered my eyes afraid that he would notice that I was watching him all along.
But then he must have watching me all this while, it can't be that he had just walked into the room. I tried hard to conceal the excitement with me, did it mean that he will accept me as his mate but isn't that too soon.
And am not that beautiful to begin with so what did I have that would change his mind. I hadn't noticed those cold eyes that were pinned on me until I felt the temperature lower and my eyes immediately turned to him.
I felt like shrinking back in the sheets when I noticed the killing intent getting more and more clearer in his eyes.
"Get off my bed " he said softly but his cold deep voice was like a roar that sent a shiver down my spine. I panicking and immediately sat up, without wasting much time I got off the large comfortable bed.
I stood silently and awkwardly in the room unsure of what to do, my eyes looked everywhere except him.
In a minute he would make me so attracted to him that all I would love to do is cling onto him but in the next minute he was so scary that I just yearned to flee.
How can such a handsome man be called and scary, I unconsciously played with my fingers while staring down at the black carpet as if it was more interesting.
I hadn't noticed that he had stood up from his chair was making his way towards me until a sweet smell attacked my senses. I immediately looked and he was right there.
Thump.
My heart stopped a bit and my mouth opened as if I was about to say something but what am I to say, am sure I looked like a gasping fish.
He had on a black fitting shirt that wasn't doing any justice to the muscular body underneath it, I can't tell how I was still breathing from all this closeness.
I instantly lowered my eyes not sure If I can look again though it was hard to do, never had I thought that I really had this side to me but with him in my life am discovering certain things about my self.
"Get those sheets off my bed and replace them immediately, I want to sleep " a chilling voice resounded by my ear and I suddenly realized how close were.
Another shiver rushed down my spine and I didn't hold back, I turned the bed and started to take off the red bed sheets.
Though I was doing this, I didn't understand whether it was because he wanted to trample on my dignity and prove to me that I was at mercy in his territory and had to obey orders or was it because he despised me so much that he can't use the bed sheets that I had used.
I don't know why I immediately believed the second option but I did and it really hurt so much that a tear rushed down my cheeks.
I stood up from his bed with the dirty sheets in my hand, I turned to head towards the two doors that were connected to the room.
Am not sure which is the closet, maybe I could find bed sheets in there to replace with these.
I don't know how it happened but my left feet got entangled with the carpet and with a scream I fell forward.
I let the stuff I was holding go and tried to grab anything close to stop myself from falling but found none until my hands grabbed on to a shirt and with force we both went crashing to the floor.
My eyes were tightly shut as I waiting to land harshly but it never happened as I was on top of a soft body.
But what made every thing plus my mind froze were the warm soft lips touching mine as I lay on top of the man with his hand tightly wrapped around my waist in a protective manner.
