Alarick P.O.V
My wolf was restless. It took twice as long to finish something that would usually only take an hour. My hands ran through my hair. She was such a goddamn distraction. Even though I was on the other side of the castle , I could still smell her scent. It was so strong. When I finished signing one of the last documents , I began to head to Emily's room. I told myself that I would go check in on her , then leave. When I reached Emily's room , I stalled in front of the door. Should I really go in to see her right now? She would be scared out her mind. Is it worth it?
My antsy ass wolf , made the decision for me. I barged into the room , but I was confused to see that she wasn't there. Her giggles came from the bathroom. Strange. I sent Maria for her almost two hours ago.
The door was cracked open , so I peaked through. Her joyful screams and giggles were music to my ears. It made me happy that she was happy. I was only able to watch her play for about three minutes before she noticed I was watching. She sank in the bath water to cover her modesty. A smirk ran across my face. How long does she think she can hide from me?
I grabbed to towel off the counter and gestured her to let me dry her off.
Emily P.O.V
How long was he watching me!?
Panic filled my chest.
What was he doing?
He crouched down and gestured for me to get out of the tub so he could dry me off.
Tears welled up in my eyes. A few tears escaped.
I wasn't ready for him to see me naked. It was hard enough for me to do it in front of the maid.
"Your tears...They're white."
I quickly wiped my tears away. I was so tired of crying. I just wanted to go home , and escape this nightmare.
"Get out the tub Emily."
He sounded like he left no room for any argument. How was I supposed to say no to him?
My hands were shaky and my breathing sped up. What would he do if I said no?
I got up slowly and covered my breasts with my arms. I awkwardly crisscrossed my legs to cover my nether region. My hair was drenched and It loosened my curls a lot , it stuck to me uncomfortably.
I stepped over the ledge and he wrapped me up in the blanket.
If I was any lighter , I'd be red as a tomato.
I want to die. I've never been so embarrassed.
He picked me up and carried me down a long hallway. My face was buried in his chest and my hands gripped on for dear life. He was so tall , I was scared that he may drop me.
I was carried to another room. This one was way bigger than the one I was originally brought to. This says something because the one I was brought to was huge. I assume this is his room. It even has a balcony.
He sat me on the bed.
I gripped the towel like it was my life line.
What is going to happen to me here?
"Zamora" I whispered.
"You don't need to worry about a thing Emily. You have someone to love you now. Besides me."
What does that mean!
"Are you leaving me?" I mindlinked. No answer. Strange.
"Here"
I was a little spooked so I flinched. He was offering me one of his shirts and a weird pair of shorts.
I turned around and quickly put the shirt on. It was so big. I reached my knees. When I put the shorts on, they were a little loose , so I tied it in a knot.
When I turned back around , he was standing over me. He was so close.
"Tell me what you are exactly."
Panic consumed me. Was he going to kill me?
"Zamora , can you do me that favor?"
"Sure"
I blacked out...
Alarick P.O.V
Her eyes rolled into the back of her head. They turned a glowy white. What is she!?
"Alarick?"
Her voice echoed through the room. She walked up to me and caressed my face with both of her hands. I knew I wasn't talking to Emily.
"Who am I speaking to."
"My name is Zamora. Like your wolf , I'm Emily's Angel."
I took a step back. Angel? I thought those were myths. No one has ever actually seen one.
"Impossible" I whispered.
A ripping sound interrupted its way through the room. Huge Black wings tore through the shirt that I gave her. They were gorgeous. Little horns adorned the peaks of her wings. I assumed those would get bigger with time. Her wings were so long , they almost touched the ground. The tips of them were a reflective silver. My mind is completely blown.
"She doesn't know anything about mates. She doesn't even know why she's here. That's my fault."
"Why wouldn't you tell her? That seems like something very important, no?"
She let out a deep sigh.
" I didn't know that we were capable of being mated to someone , especially in another species. But Emily is very sensitive. She is innocent. She doesn't talk much. She's not mute , just quiet. She is such a scared spirit. I promise she'll warm up to you. Treat her with caution. "
"Of course. But what happen to you guys?"
She looked at me with sad eyes.
"She is only 19 , but she's known nothing but loneliness. She's been by herself for 12 years , until now. The people who were taking care of her died , forcing her to take care of her self ever since she was seven."
It was all making sense little by little. That's probably why she doesn't much.
"Both of you will be taken care of , I promise."
"I know'' She gave me a small smile.
Her eyes returned back to normal and she fell to the ground. She seemed exhausted. Her wings slowly became droopy and they disappeared behind her back. I pretended like I wasn't amazed.
"W..What?" She whimpered in confusion.
"Do you know what happened Emily?" She nodded her head yes.
"I-I just don't remember." Her voice was so soft. She sounded so timid.
Just like Zamora said. This is going to be hard.
"Emily , I have to explain something very important to you.."
