I didn't know if there could be someone more handsome than him. I felt like I could rely on him. Our eyes locked as we look into the eyes of each other, his blue eyes appeared warm and soft but I couldn't understand any of the emotions they held nor my comfortability around him because no one has looked at me that way before.
I took his hand and he pulled me up" are you okay?" He asked in a deeply concerned tone and I nodded, my eyes were glued to his face as if I have not seen anything like him which wasn't the case. I found myself attracted to him in a strange complicated way " Prince Mateo" a man rushed towards the vampire with a bow" the bill is settled" The man reported with his head held low, I met his gaze and I trembled back, thanks to the goddess the white hair man supported my back with his strong big hand as I leaned against his thighs." Interesting" his voice held a lot of mockeries and at the same amusement. He raised his head and looked at us as he dusted his palm.
" don't you think you have to let us go?" The white hair man said holding my shoulder and pining me beside him. " didn't we promise to stay clear from each other's path?" He answered and sat somewhere in the dark room." You promised me but I didn't " the white hair man replied in a cold tone " do you think I would let you have what is mine?" The vampire asked in a funny tone.
I could only hear his voice coming from a certain direction but not his face " do you think I care?" The white hair man voiced out in a strong tone. I raised my eyes to look at him where I met his gaze.
I didn't know what was going on with me, I seem to like staring at him. His red lips looked bloody and soft.
" You are staring at what is mine!" He yelled and suddenly he appeared in front of us and yanked my arm pulling me away from my savior" don't start a war you can't finish" the vampire warned.
He disappeared again leaving me standing on my own.
I run back to the white hair guy" leave and let me handle my affairs alone and in peace" he ordered his man for him to stride out.
He appeared again, vampires were fast creatures. They were much more powerful than every creature because of their speed and senses which exceeds that of werewolves but werewolves were stronger than them.
" if I may ask, why is the beast in my territory? " he asked flickering his gaze from me to him" I came for what is mine" the white hair man answered as I gazed up at his face. My chest was jumping for a reason I didn't know. " she isn't yours to claim, wolf. I bought her with my money!" he hissed in anger, his eyes turned deep black" claiming kids?" He started laughing like a crazy person " are you her nanny?" He added as I felt bad for my savior. He looked like the quiet type and a good person" did your goddess gift you this? Don't you think she is too young to be your gift? I can tell she wouldn't like you" he said all those as if he was any better. " you are lying, I like him!" I hugged his thighs tightly as tears run down my face.
" woe! I didn't know the beast's mate can speak for herself" he said sarcastically " let go" he held my hand as he turned to the door, and four men emerged from nowhere blocking our way. " you can't leave with her" he ordered as thunder cracked cursing the ground to shake." I will double your money" the white hair man offered " this is me being kind and considerate" he warned before a second could pass, I heard bones cracking and painful screams.
I was standing in the dark room like a blind person. No matter how I look, everywhere seemed dark than it was previously. I moved a step and bumped into someone" I told you you are mine" he grabbed my arm pulling me to where I didn't know.
When I realized my surrounding, we were standing on top of the building in the heavy rain" please don't kill me" I pleaded and he looked at me" no I won't, I need you to carry my seeds" he said " what seeds?" I asked in confusion and childishly. He brushed my hair from my face" get your hands off her!" The white hair man growled standing a few feet away. His hair was dripping wet, and in an attempt to run come to get me, the vampire tightened his grip" I knew I couldn't trust my men" he chuckled, one more look at me, and he shoved me off the building. " I will come for her, wolf" I heard him speak as I was screaming and crying miserably. My heart turned dead silent and I couldn't cry anymore, the cold air washed my face drying every tear that drop on my cheek and the water. I sensed my hair floating upward.
I felt dizzy and couldn't hold on any longer. I thought I was finally going to be reunited with my mom and also Lilly.
Before I fall into a deep shade, I picked a touch on my skin. Something was touching me which I didn't know what it was. I sensed my body pressed against something hard " get the hell out of my way!" I low growl sounded in my ears." You can't leave Princess" was the last thing I heard.
Someone was begging me to stay alive. I wondered who it might be but for some reason, I wanted to live because of the voice that kept telling me to stay.
I felt my skin freezing as air passed us. I whimpered as the cold air run my skin dry. It was like he was running with me in his arms...
I turned on my other side, I felt something soft beneath me and a strong fragrance lingering in the air.
I pulled my hair from my face and flipped my eyes open. I crushed into the familiar eyes and turned to bury my face in the soft pillow.
" you should learn to greet kid" the familiar deep voice rang in my ears. I lifted myself sitting upright on the bed. I cleared my throat and took in my surroundings. Everything seemed real, I thought I was shoved from that tall building, so how did I end up here, did I die already? Did he die too? The luxury in the room was nothing I had seen before, I felt bad for dragging him down with me. He was a good person, he didn't deserve that.
I wondered why one should stay alive when death comes with all these luxuries. " you are not dead" he, said lazily from the couch. " thank you," I said with a heavy breath, no wonder I was not seeing mom and Lilly, I managed to smile when he stared in my direction with a win bottle on his lips " for what exactly?" He stood on his feet and walked toward me.
He sat on the edge of the bed a little closer such that his breath was getting in my nose " for saving me" I pulled away from him a little.
" What is your name ?" He asked eyeing me in a way too much for me to describe. He licked his lips gawking at me like I was some kind of flower, he shifted his gaze as he ran his fingers in his hair and nodded" which pack are you from because I know you are not a rogue" he said everything hence limiting me from lying " I'm Leona" I said as he watched me from the corner of his eyes. His white hair spread on his face giving him a beautiful look. " what?" He asked and I shook my head lowering my head. He caught me staring at him and it was very embarrassing. " how old are you?"
" nine, ten" I shrugged, I think it was my birthday " happy birthday," he said coldly and raised from the bed. " shower up" he ordered " you too, because you smell awful," I said under my breath," you think so?" He flashed me a small smile before closing the door behind him.
I was in the bathroom when I heard a knock on the door. I washed quickly under the shower, dried myself, and put on my old stinking clothes.
I pulled the door opened, " hi" he said glaring at my wet dripping hair" it's a long hair you have got there" he invited himself in. " I'm Copper" he introduced and sat on the bed. I frowned watching him" the alpha wants you to have this" he tapped the small bag beside him. " why not open it?" I walked to the dressing mirror and grabbed a hairbrush " I can get someone to help you with that" he proposed and I found his offer very nice beside my hair was too much for me to take care of considering my small hands.
I sat beside him and starts dragging out the content of the bag. " clothes" I whisper for Copper to nod. I took one and stretched it open " how did you get my size?" I asked in a stunned voice. The clothes look costly and beautiful.
Copper ran his hand in his brown hair smiling at me. " of course, I knew" he said as if he was a genuine " who are you?" I dropped the dress. "He asked me to bring it to me?"
" Okay thanks" I knew my savior did because he asked me to take a bath. It was childish of me to think like that but I believed it was him.
I looked at myself in the mirror after I finished putting on one of the dresses Copper brought.
It was a short white skirt and blue sleeves. I loved the dress. I have never worn something this pretty in my whole life. We were not rich like pups who lived in packs. Everything I used to wear was old clothes from my mother's customers. Mom was a cleaner, and each time she went to work leaving me by myself, I would play to get rid of my loneliness.
I ran out after hearing a female voice. " here she is" Copper pointed at me as the lady beside her glared my way.
After some seconds I found myself seated in front of the mirror with the lady trying to take off the knots in my hair. I winked in pain as I shut my eyes" your hair looks like a mess" the lady said not hiding the fact "why not cut it short " I suggested since the knots were mostly at the lower part.
She agreed and took scissors from her bag. " don't you dare try that" she dropped my hair and bowed. I jumped from the chair and I greeted his eyes. He was staring at me with an undefined expression.
His white hair was nicely dressed. He looked like he has taking a shower just as I suggested." Out!" He was always cold and soft but he appeared vicious." You are welcome alpha" Copper said teasingly and I whimpered. Another alpha?
My facial expression changed to something like fear " he won't hurt you" Copper assured me as if he was reading my mind.
He approached me after they were gone" you don't do anything without my permission" he scolded and I lowered my head. The fact that he was an alpha caged me in some kind of fear I didn't want to feel.
"Sit" he instructed and I did. He took the brush and grabbed my hair" does it hurt?" I blinked my eyes staring at him in the mirror. Our eyes crushed and I lowered mine immediately.
" would you send me back?" I sobbed silently " who are talking about?" He swiveled the chair such that I was facing him.
He knelt before me grabbing both my cheek " who are running from?" He demanded in a furious tone.
