Dawn of an alpha.

Sparks will fly…

Kieran Arnell

Her questions surprised me, no one had ever asked me such questions. And I never really think about it too much because I feel like having their respect, was an amazing feeling but it was also a lot of work because I had to keep at it, doing the things that will ensure the quality of living of every member of the pack. And as I know the respect that the members of my pack have for me, it fuels me to be better, to never lose that respect as their leader.

"I have never really thought about it, from the moment I took on the role of alpha, I became the server of the people. I might be seen as the power and the head that governs but I always remember that I am only here for the people." I said as I served myself some wine and sat on a couch directly opposite hers, "their well-being is my number one concern and it will always be.”

“hmmm,” she said, nodding as she leaned closer to the window with her upper body partially out of the window, she was staring at something. I followed her gaze and realized it was outside the window, standing up from my position I placed the glass of wine on a stool then I walked closer to the window to see what had gotten her attention. It was her reflection.

“Do you think it’s weird? That I’m looking at my reflection so.”

“Why would that be weird?” I said making her blush.

“I am looking at my reflection and I see a different person, I look different and I feel different. I don’t know how to explain it but it’s a feeling of change. I feel beautiful.” She was still blushing but her eyes were trained on the lake, now I could see her attention shift from her reflection to the night light and its play on the water.

“It is beautiful,” I said, then I said the one thing that had been on my lips since she came into the dining, “You are so beautiful, Dawn.”

She turned around to look at me and smiled, looking more beautiful than ever. “Thank you, Kieran.” She replied shyly, “So, are you.”

From the first moment we met, I could not tell what exactly to make of her. I met her with so much fire in her eyes, at a time when one wrong decision and she would have been gone. And I thought of her now, this night, of how much I want to know her, what am I saying?

She is my mate, my Luna I have to know her. I could tell that given time, I was going to know more about her. And since we are housemates, there is no rush but on days like this when she made me feel a lot of things, I wanted to rush things. Her platinum-colored hair seemed to catch the light from the moon, making her head glow and look dreamy. Then her green eyes, I could drown in those green eyes.

“Are you shy of me?” I asked.

I noticed that my question seemed to surprise her, the blush on her face confirmed the fact that she was shy but I did not say a thing, I wanted to hear what she had to say.

“A little, I mean I am shy of you but then I realized that I am also attracted. Maybe that’s why I am shy? I don’t know but it is an undeniable attraction.”

“like sparks flying…” then I was standing beside the couch she was on, then I also leaned out of the window to look at my reflection and hers in the lake. “I feel the same way too.”

We turned at the same time and I could only stare into her eyes and my gaze only shifted from her eyes when she parted her lips. I could feel the tension and trying to keep it in check was taking a lot for me, I just wanted to kiss her but I was not going to try it. Not without her permission.

“I want you to kiss me. Can you?”

Can I? Did she read my mind? Because that question was the push I needed from her, it undid me. I placed my finger under her chin and gently lift her face as I brought mine closer to hers, I could smell her breath and it was intoxicating.

“Are you sure?” I asked, my lips just a breath away from hers.

“Yes, I am sure, Kieran. Kiss me.” And then she moved forward letting our lips touch. It felt electric, drawing me in then I deepened the kiss as my hand moved to the small of her back, pressing her to me. She moaned, a sound that messed with all my reasoning- then she raised her hands and placed them on my shoulder. She pressed her body against me and deepened the kiss, I could taste the red wine on her lips but I could also taste her essence. I was losing control and I did not want that to happen so I slowly, regrettably ended the kiss.

Her eyes slowly opened and her green eyes looked like the ocean at that moment, I kept wondering how lucky I must be to be mated to such a beautiful woman. After the kiss, she looked at me for a brief second giggled, and then looked away,

“I guess I am still shy of you,” she said, her eyes looking everywhere but my face.

“that makes two of us now because I am feeling quite shy of you too.”

“that is a lie,” she said chuckling as she moved away from the window and leaned back into the couch. . I went back to the couch I was sitting on and we just kept talking, I told her about the relationship I had with Cara in summary and why we are not fond of her. We spent the rest of the night laughing and talking till I noticed it was a few minutes to midnight.

“Oh!” Dawn said as she got up from the couch and picked up her empty wine glass. “Cinderella has to go now.” She said making us laugh. We left the greenhouse and walked in silence back to the house. When we got to the house I collected the empty wine glass from her,

“I’ll take care of it from here, you should go in. You have training tomorrow and you don’t want to be late.”

“Yeah I don’t,” she said, yawning. She started walking towards the stairs then she walked back and kissed me on the cheek, “Thank you for tonight, Kieran. I had a great time. Goodnight.”
