The Keeper Sorceress

Something that never got chance to start

For few moments I stood there still and then turned around in one fluid motion to find.....no one.... no one is standing near me and that feeling that someone is too close to me is gone but I could still feel someone watching me. I did another three sixty and still saw no one, but feeling of being watched did not vanish. "Is everything alright princess?" 

"Haan ah.. Yeah.. yeah" I said still searching for the source that is making me uncomfortable. "Do you, do you sense anyone or anything?" I asked the guard who stood behind me. "Ahh no I don't." he replied after few minutes. "What happened" asked another guard coming behind me "do you sense anything?" asked first one, second too do not sense anything out of ordinary. "Do you want us to check princess" 

"Uh... no let's, let's get out of here" I said and turned around to go back to my carriage. "You two come inside" I said to the two maids who had followed my carriage from the palace to here on foot. Werewolves can walk miles and miles without getting tried and it is no big deal. But this place has just given me creeps, so I do not want these two travelling on foot anymore we are not far from our castle but still.... "Hey I asked you to come inside" I said once again after sitting down. They gave me a look and came to sit inside. Once they were inside I slammed the door, I am official creeped out now because I could still sense someone watching me. "Go" I said to coachman and he strike the horses to move. Sliding curtain a little aside I looked out at vast jungle and as before saw no one. Am I losing my mind? I mean it is not possible for someone to get noticed by me but not by guards, my heightened sense are as powerful as wolves not more than them. Which means I could smell, hear, see or sense everything a wolf can but it is impossible for me to sense something that even they can not sense. Yes definitely my lack of sleep has messed with my brain that or maybe I am just paranoid. I sighed and closed my eyes 'do not get scared like a kitten, behave like an alpha wolf you are raised by'  I enchanted what my mother has taught me since I was eight and got scared of that Banshee screams, till I reached castle. 

Mother and father were concerned about me since I took a different carriage which is yeah a surprise for them considering I and Yanet always travel together and stopped in path and hence reached here late. I did my best to explain them without telling them that their dear daughter is dealing with her first ever heart break. They do not know anything about me and Orion, actually there is nothing to know we are not together we never got chance to be. We know we love each other because ahh how do I explain this 'unspoken connection'. Yanet and Haziel stayed quite throughout the dinner, they knew about me and Orion and what was about to happen tomorrow. Well Yanet was quite pissed I knew because the way she was practically stabbing her food, she always wanted me and Orion together and I bet that Haziel has already told her my decision and she thinks that I am being stupid. I also knew Mother and father did not buy my excuse but they did not push me further respecting my decision to not discuss whatever is bothering me because I never I hide anything from them being the good daughter that I am. So all in all this was the most awkward dinner I've ever had with my family. 

As soon as dinner was over I left castle to meet Orion, tonight is my only chance to knock some sense into him. When I reached Vitler's mansion I asked the guard who was standing at there mansion's gateway to tell Orion I want to meet him. He asked me to come in but I refused so he requested me to at least wait in their garden and hence here I am waiting in their garden by fountain. I prayed to Luna that Orion listens to me and tomorrow he accept his mate if he finds one because that is the right thing to do. 

"Elle?" I heard him call my name, just a whisper! 

"Orion... hey" I smiled when he finally stood before me. He was only in his pants which made me even more nervous and I looked everywhere but him. It is not like this is the first time I am seeing him only in his pants, well who am I joking to I see a lot more of him on every full moon and I swear I love every inch of that but this time it is all different this time I am here to end things between us that never even started completely. 

"Haziel told we what you are planning and I want you to drop that plan. I want you to accept your mate if tomorrow you finally get one." I said taking a long breath. 

"Why?" is all he ask. "Because that is the right thing to do" I said controlling my tears. I know if I tell Orion that I am a sorceress he will except me. But will his family? And what about others. No I can not tell him that, never. "No that's not the right thing and you know it Elle. I would never be able to fully devote myself to my mate. Do you really want me to marry my mate only to cheat on her?" he said taking a step towards me. "I want you to forget me and accept her Orion." I repeated because I had nothing else to say. "Well that is not possible princess. I would never be able to forget you stop loving you and you know it." another step towards me and now we were standing only one step apart. "Well you will be able to Orion, eternity is a very very long time." with that I left, crushing mine and his heart I left, ending our love story that never got a chance to start. Tomorrow he might meet his mate, tomorrow I will lose him forever. In a week he might tie the knot and in a week I will cry for the lose of love I never got chance to experience. 

When I reached castle I ran straight to my bedroom, to my bed. I did not bother to change and throwing duvet over my head I cried silently. Listening to my hiccups Yanet hugged me tight through my stomach and kept her head on my shoulder "you are an i***t, the biggest one I have seen in twenty years of my life probably the biggest I will ever see." Yanet's way of comforting Yeah I was not joking when I said she has got the mother's attitude "bad for you, you have to be an i***t's big sister" I said wiping my tears and smiling slightly. "Yeah I guess and not to forget I always have to have back of two idiots. You know you and that Haziel who is our older brother but acts like a child" she said kissing my head through duvet.

"How am I looking" I asked I asked my brother and father fixing god knows what in off shoulder bishop sleeves yellow A-line gown. "Just like an angel that you are" my father said taking my face in his palms  and kissing me on forehead. I smiled that I did not feel from the heart and no not just because of Orion, but because of my conscious screaming danger today at him and looked at my brother for approval he too grinned and kissed me on forehead but not before fixing my golden tiara "Now you look perfect, little miss prim" he said bowing a little and kissing the back of my hand.
