Alpha's Little Witch

2. Sparkles In the Dark

CHAPTER 2 

Sparkles In The Dark

The maid went to Janine's office to report that she has accomplished her requests regarding their guests. 

"Milady, the guests are settled in the receiving area and their Alpha is waiting for you in the meeting room." As she bowed her head to Janine. 

"Thank you, Leila." Janine smiled yet she caught the redness of Leila's cheek. Leila is  two years younger than Janine. And they have become friends since Janine was being looked after most of the time by Leila's mother who is their head cook back then. "What happened Leila?" Janine queried. 

"The man who was with the Alpha almost frightened me to death with a growl, "Leila answered with a teary eye. Janine confused and disappointed at the same time wanted to end this meeting immediately. "Take me to the receiving area before I face their Alpha." 

The maid leads Janine to the receiving room and Janine immediately spoke up. "Who dared growl at my lovely Leila here." The men enjoying the treat raised their heads upon hearing a calm yet authoritarian voice. "Please be careful of how you treat my dearest brothers and sisters in this place as I will not hold back in making you pay for unreasonable actions." She stated and stared daggers at the men seated. "Leila, continue to serve whatever they need for now and don't fear as I will not let it just slip." She said and turned her back and walk towards the meeting room. As she walks towards it, she couldn't make up why she suddenly felt nervous. She remembered the time she sent the recorded message to her lawyer to take it to the Packhouse, it felt the same. She couldn't decide if it is fear or excitement that's making her heart play drums. 

The ticking of the clock is the only thing to be heard and it's been 10 minutes since the maid has left him in the room. He has finished the treat within that time as he enjoyed eating it. Now he is growing impatient. He stood up and walked back and forth. A few moments later he heard some footsteps. He caught again the sweet yet calming scent. It gets stronger as the footsteps near him. He was about to go to the door when it opened and the room was filled with the scent which makes a stirring sensation in his stomach. At the door, there stands the most seductive, petite lady he has ever seen. With long large waves of deep black. 

"Good day Mr. Drake. I apologize for the delay, It's hard getting things done when you're quite new with the task at hand."   Janine smiled and held out her hand to shake Drake's. 

"You are worth the wait Milady." She reached out her hand to shake his. To her surprise, Drake raised her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles. She felt a kind of electricity flowed from the kiss and made her blush. She wanted to take her hand back yet her body doesn't seem to follow her mind's commands. 

"Shall we take a seat to talk about your Pack's arrangement with our Coven?" Janine offered, so she can have a reason to take her eyes off of this magnificent man holding her hand. He guided her in a seat designed for a high priestess at the end of the table and he took his seat at the other end of the table. 

"Before we proceed, I would like to raise an immediate matter which took place a while ago with my dear sister Leila." Though distracted from the kiss on her hand which the sensation seems to still linger on her skin, she manages to say her concern in a straightforward way. "I would like to say that I am displeased with your men frightening the girl who I treated so dearly ever since." Drake's surprised with the amount of disappointment she has but delivered it elegantly. This made his wolf grin in excitement. 

"Forgive my Beta, Gerald for putting an act. He is quite used to feel like being in an ambush state within a different territory." He said sincerely. 

"Then your men must be blind to see that it is a lady and just a human they are facing." She pushed her chair and stood up. "I hope that you will be taking action for this unruly treatment despite my hospitality with your Pack. As you perhaps wouldn't want me to handle this." 

Drake's gaze trace her form when she stood up from her seat and it's distracting him from staying focused on the matter she brought up. He gulped trying to control his wolf from getting up and going closer to her to embrace her. He stood up as well and took a deep breath. "Mi' Lady--" he was cut off 

"Janine, just call me Janine. I've heard enough pleasantries from the people around me." Janine said while looking down on the lace of her dress sewn to the seams of it. Drake gently walked towards her and he could her heart beating like drums. 

"Janine, I had briefed Gerald already, and believe me he is sorry for what happened." He gently said when he stopped in front of Janine. She raised her head upon seeing Drake's shoes in front of hers. He looked deep into her eyes and she was caught in the blackness of it. Looking at the glimmers in his eyes is like staring at a night filled with stars. She wanted to break off from the stare but he gently traced her face with his fingers and she felt a longing for this kind of touch. He dipped his head and gently place a kiss on her lips. His wolf is getting uncontrollable with the scent emanating from Janine. Janine closed her eyes from the kiss and didn't retaliate, in fact, her mind is telling her body to ask for more.
