Rise of the Lycan Queen

Chapter 15

-Enigmia-

I never went back to the cottage, wanting to follow him to see what the were up to at this time of night. I mean that was why we were here, so I see no harm in it. I noticed they met up, the jealousy creeping into my body. Shaking my head to get focused. How did he know my name? She was a very nice girl, but I just could not get this jealous feeling under control. They seemed to be in serious discussion before she left, nothing romantic went on between them which I found odd, but thankful for at the same time. It somehow put my mind a bit at ease. Instead of moving back to his room, he walked over to the forest. I could not help myself. He warned me about the forest and here he was walking into it as if it was normal. I kept on feeling that I was losing his trail, then he would appear again just to disappear once more. I quickly moved to the direction I saw him go and was slammed into a tree trunk. s**t I thought to myself. “YOU,” I heard him say, as if he was surprised and loosened his grip sligtly in order not to hurt me.

-Micah-

She was well-trained, but curiosity made her lose control. When I pushed her into the tree trunk my whole body felt on fire from the sparks coursing through it. I tilted my head with a smirk, "Why are you following me, Enigmia? Do you perhaps have a crush?" I asked in a teasing way. At first, I saw the embarrassment seeping through, then she amazingly composed her body with confidence. "Don’t be absurd, I was merely doing my job as I was asked," she stated. My one eyebrow lifted, and I had a toothy grin on my face now… I went closer to her ear, whispering, "So are you telling me, that I am so lucky to have you as my stalker for the next two weeks?" “Mmm”, was the only sound leaving her mouth, and it drove me wild, my body became rigid, I never wanted anyone the way I wanted her right now. I was beyond my normal senses. “Don’t… don’t do that, you will let me lose control, beautiful,” I say without thinking. She gasped, and her upper lip touched my earlobe. f**k, I could not seem to control myself around her as my whole body shivered. My hands moving down to pin her to the tree, leaning inward, I closed my eyes fighting my body's instincts. My lips barely touching hers "You have to leave, I can’t control myself around you," I confessed.

-Enigmia-

How dare he ask me if I had a crush on him? I straightened myself, telling him he must be absurd and that I was merely doing my job. My heart was beating at an abnormally fast pace, the electricity coursing through my body was clouding my mind. Pinning my body against the tree, he got closer and whispered in my ear that he must be lucky to have me following him for two weeks. I could not react to his statement as all I took in at that moment was his intoxicating smell and l moaned as I breathed in his smell. I came back to reality when he told me not to do that, but when he called me beautiful my knees went weak, and I felt the wetness between my legs. I knew nothing about these feelings, but I was wishing he would kiss me already as his lips barely touched mine. This was all wrong, he had a girlfriend. I could not have these feelings, but it was impossible to control them, my whole body craved him. He only made it worse when he confessed he couldn’t control himself around me. How was I supposed to move? I could barely stand. Suddenly, he shoved himself away. "Go Now," I watched him as he closed his eyes as if struggling with his inner self. Then he shouted angrily. "LEAVE NOW." The sudden anger frightened me instantly, and I ran back towards the village. Bursting through the cottage door, I went straight to my room without greeting or even looking toward Jess.

-Jessica-

I watched her burst through the door and went straight towards her room. I knew something had happened in the village. I had a feeling Micah went out as well and can’t help wondering if they had an encounter with each other. If her feelings were this strong towards him without Amy and Akeelah, what would she experience if she released them? I was now extremely concerned that I might have made the wrong decision to bring her with me. She was under the impression that he was in love with someone else, but the potion does not lie. Something else was going on between Micah and Sheri, but I could not place my finger on it. A sudden knock on the door made me jump. I looked at the door as if I was too afraid to answer it. The knock came again a bit more aggressively, and I went over to open the door. “Is Enigmia safe, has she returned?” he asked, and my mouth hung open. "How did you… how did you know?" I asked shockingly. He only stared at me as if half irritated but concerned at the same time, his hair discheveled and breathing rigid, I noted his inner struggle. “Micah, we need to talk.” “Agreed in half an hour in the dark forest,” he stated, leaving no room for negotiation. I watched him leave back into the forest. I went to check on Enigmia to make sure she was OK. As I opened the door I noticed her eyes were extremely focused on one of the books. Whatever happened traumatized her, and she was looking for answers. “How was your walk?” I asked. She gave a short "OK." "Enigma, I have to quickly run out." "Will you be fine on your own for a while?" "You seemed disturbed bursting through the door earlier." “I’m fine Jess, I will see you later.” She said without even lifting her head. “I left lasagna on the table should you like to eat something and there are some waffles, ice cream and syrup for afterward.” but she gave no response. She was too consumed by reading her book, probably trying to figure out her behavior toward Micah. I exited the cottage and made sure it was securely locked before I left for the forest. I don’t know how I am going to explain this to him, but I had to at least try. “Micah” I called out to him...
