The Alpha's saved Queen

Chapter Five.

Sitting up, I look at him shocked. Did he just say "Vampires?" I mean I knew about Vampires, but they didn't come to this part of the world. They hadn't been seen for nearly a hundred years!

Turning me to look at him Kane asks "What do you know about Vampires?" I think for a second before I answer him. "I know they exist. My father and mother taught me all about other beings that weren't human. but I thought they didn't come to this part of the world, and they hadn't been seen for decades?"

Kane holds both my hands, staring intently into my eyes. Why do I get the feeling my life is about to change and things will never be the same again?

"Emille, everything you just said is true, except they have been here once in that time. A whole pack of Werewolves was killed by Vampires twenty-five years ago and there was only one survivor." I think about what he is saying and suddenly everything clicks into place in my mind.

Nila said Kane and his men found me while out on a training exercise. This house seems massive and old. There is a big forest next to the house. I look at Kane again, he is strong, there is a powerful aura that surrounds him and then there are those blue eyes.

I turn and look at the mural of the woman and the wolf on the wall and then turn to look at Kane. "You are a Werewolf, a leader, the Alpha." I say this as a statement not a question. I am not scared or shocked, I feel safe here, like I belong.

"Yes, I am the Alpha of this pack, which is called The Silver Moon. The survivor of the last Vampire attack is my best friend Josiah. Josiah is my Beta he is also married and the mate of my sister Sami.

I nod and look again at the mural on the wall. I recognize the blue eyes of Kane in the black wolf. So who is the woman with him? Is it his wife, his mate? The thought of him having a mate or a wife makes me feel like someone has stabbed a knife in my chest and I gasp, holding my chest at the sudden pain.

The thought of him loving another woman feels like it is killing me. I must be going mad, maybe from where I hit my head? This is crazy. I have only just met the man.

"This must be a big shock to you Emille, are you OK?" Kane asks with his voice full of concern.

Looking at him, I wipe away my tears that have started to fall and have to know so I ask "Is that you in the mural?" He nods yes. Taking a deep breath with my heart hammering in my chest, I ask "Is the woman your mate?" He looks deeply into my eyes and answers "I searched my whole life for her, she has haunted my dreams for as long as I can remember. She is my life, my mate, the other half of my soul." I can't stop the tears from falling. He loves another woman, he has a mate. I need to control my emotions, he has only just met me and here I am sat on his lap acting like a crazy woman. I feel ashamed. I push myself off him and sit at the edge of the bed.

***Kane's POV***

When Emille asked me about the woman and the wolf, I didn't want to scare her, but I also didn't want to lie to her. I told her the truth. I have dreamed about my mate for as long as I can remember. I don't know why the hair in my dreams has streaks of blue going through it or why she has blue eyes, all I know is that it is Emille, and she is my mate, the missing half of my soul that completes me.

I know she doesn't feel the mate bond because she is human, so I didn't expect her to jump into my arms wanting to mark me...but her reaction broke a piece of my heart. She must hate the thought of being mated to me and spending the rest of her life with me.

She is crying like her heart is broken and I don't know what to do. I move off the bed and stand awkwardly with my hands in my jean pockets, trying to stop myself from doing something stupid like begging her to accept me.

***End of POV***

Taking a deep breath, I wipe my eyes and look at Kane, he has stepped back and put space between us. He passes me a tissue and I wipe my snotty nose. Gods I must look ridiculous. "I am so sorry for how I have acted, I don't know what has come over me. Thank you for everything you and your family have done for me, I am feeling much better so I should go back to my parents home and sort things out there." I stand too quickly and my stupid ankle has to go and cause me pain. I am about to fall on my ass when Kane suddenly appears at my side. Gosh he moves fast, as his strong arms circle my waist to lift me back into bed I gasp as I feel lightening bolts tingling all over my body. I gasp at these feelings. I can't help but stare into his eyes, he is mesmerising. I look at his lips and lick my own, imagining what they would taste like, what his tongue would feel like in my mouth. STOP EMILLE!

"Don't leave." He whispers it so quietly I think I must be imagining it, he lowers me to the bed and stands back "I am sorry. I didn't mean to grab you. Please tell me where you live. I will go with some men to see if it is safe for you to return."

He leaves the room without another word after I tell him where my family home is. After the door closes, I break down and cry like my heart is broken. Worn out I fall into a fitful sleep that is full of horrors.
