The Alpha’s Faery

Chapter Three

Hazel

Tristan was funny and clever he was good at making me laugh, I was feeling a lot more relaxed around him now, he spoke about life in the pack house I had guessed that from the size of him he had to be a warrior or a guard he defiantly worked out anyway, my eyes glided over his muscular arms and chest his strong square jaw lead to his perfect full lips his skin was smooth and blemish free and his dark haughting eyes were shining from the stars above us, he was handsome and smart I caught myself as I thought about what his lips would feel like on mine, I wasn’t usually like this but for a moment I forgot all about Austin as I looked into Tristan's dark brown eyes I found myself lost in them, I couldn’t take my eyes off him something about him was warm and calming I just wanted to sit and talk to him all night it was so easy like we had known each other for ages I had told him all about Mel and my family and that I didn’t have my wings yet but I wasn’t bothered they would come when I was ready, I couldn’t help it with Tristan I just wanted to get to know him more, his dark wavy hair was so tempting to run my fingers through and that t-shirt wasn’t doing to well at containing those huge muscles on his arms and chest, he was so tall and strong I thought he was going to be like most guys thinking a lot of themselves but he wasn’t he was so down to earth easy to get along with and the way he looked at me held a softness I hadn’t seen in a guy before it was the way that lovers may look at each other whoa hang on I've only just met this guy! I hadn’t realised how long we had been out here talking I had better go and find Mel, I went to stand up but Tristan grabbed my arm "where are you going beautiful?" he asked "I better go and find my friend I don’t want to lose her we are walking back to the village together later” I told him "I can walk you back later" Tristan jumped up to stand in front of me, I know I felt something for Tristan but it was all going a bit fast for me, "that’s ok we promised each other we would walk back together” I was trying to get past him and back into the hall to find Mel, when I finally got past Tristan I was so confused I couldn’t cope with the way I was feeling, I ran in the hall to try and find Mel and speak to her I needed to tell her about how I was feeling she was the only person who could help me figure all this out, I felt someone’s eyes on me as I scanned the room for Mel I couldn’t see her anywhere where had she gone! Just then someone touched my shoulder I jumped around at the touch “sorry Hazel I didn’t mean to startle you" it was Austin my heart froze why was he coming up to me why now when I was already all over the place! "That’s ok I’m just looking for Mel I seem to have lost her" I told him getting a little anxious now I couldn’t see Tristan anywhere either but I knew he was around “hey its ok, don’t worry we will find her" Austin was trying to sooth me “why are you helping me” I asked abruptly not really sure why I asked like that I had wanted him to notice me all night but after sitting with Tristian I felt drawn to him like there was no one else for me I shook my head no I hardy knew the guy Austin who I’ve daydreamed about for years was who I should be talking to "I just thought you looked upset after you came from talking to that wolf, he didn’t do anything did he?" he asked concerned "no he didn’t touch me" I told Austin smiling he had noticed me my heart gave a small flutter but nothing compared to the butterflies that were swarming around when I sat with Tristan “come on Hazel lets go get you a drink and calm down Mel wouldn’t of gone far without you, you two are practically joined at the hip” he chuckled so he had noticed me before then or had he noticed Mel? Probably Mel I thought to myself as Austin walked me over to the bar he placed his hand on my back trying to calm me “so who was that?" he asked me talking about Tristan “oh that was Tristan he lives in the pack house he was just being friendly with me" I told him taking a sip of the drink he had just handed me “seemed a bit too friendly if you ask me” Austin said looking round the room, oh how I would of killed for Austin to be thinking about me like this before, I was still interested in him I told myself I just wished he had come up to me before I had talked to Tristan then maybe my stomach wouldn’t be in knots right now, “he was fine just chatting” I told Austin with a smile I wanted to bounce back from this I didn’t know Tristan he was a wolf and we couldn’t be together anyway it was frowned upon and he would get a mate so why was he even bothering with me anyway, I sighed and shook my head I wanted to speak to Mel where the bloody hell was that girl she was talking to Lucas who was keen on her probably thought fairies where easy some were especially when it came to wolves but not Mel she wasn’t like that and neither was I that must of been what Tristan thought I was a little angry with myself now I had been drawn into his charm and good looks and I bet all he was thinking about was his d**k, right forget about him Hazel he’s just a meat head I told myself smiling up at Austin he returned my smile and turned to me “Hazel will you dance with me?" I thought I would be giddy and a bag of nerves after that but I just took Austin’s out stretched hand and we went to the dance floor we danced for awhile laughing and joking I was starting to feel good about coming to this party now I wanted to forget about my encounter with Tristan the mysterious wolf and dance the night away with Austin the alcohol starting to get to me, while we where dancing some of our friends from the village came over to join us and I was finally enjoying myself, I looked around the room still wondered what had happened to Mel and felt a small pang as I noticed Tristian looking glum in the corner of the room watching me and Austin dance I watched as he tore his eyes away from us and walked out the room I felt this overwhelming need to go and follow him to take all his pain away the thought of him being sad especially at my doing was sending me crazy, this is all to much for me I couldn’t understand why I was feeling these feelings for Tristan I was finally dancing with Austin he was the whole reason I came to this party the reason I bought this dress was because I found out that his favourite colour was blue, but all I wanted to do now was run after a guy I’ve just met and hardly know I stopped dancing "I’m sorry Austin but I don’t feel well, I think I need to leave" I was holding my chest my heart felt like it was tearing I needed some air, I ran out the back to were me and Tristan sat only a short while ago and I closed my eyes and took a deep breath trying to calm my shot nerves and the pounding ache in my heart I didn’t understand what was going on with me I opened my eyes and looked at the glittering stars above me, breathing in the night air calmed me and cleared my muddled brain I took a deep breath and looked back down Austin was on one side of the garden and I saw Tristan on the other which way should I go?
