Genevieve 's POV….
Poor thing hasn’t even had a decent birthday party , no wonder he’s bitter
He was staring hard at me while I was laughing so I decided to stop. No need for him to get defensive again.
“I’m sorry I’ll stop laughing now.”
“No, don’t I’m glad I amuse you.”
I smiled and he returned my smile. Wasn’t this supposed to be The Blood Thirsty Alpha King? Did our spell really work? Did I break our curse?
I had a million questions flying through my head.
“You’re doing it again.”
His voice brought me back from inside my own head.
“Hmmm , Doing what again?”
“You start thinking about something and your mind wanders and your eyes glow. You leave.”
“I don’t leave , I just get caught up in my thoughts. That's what my rides are for. Sometimes things happen that I can’t control or heal and I have to organize my thoughts. I can’t help anyone if I don’t think straight.”
He looked at me with a sceptical look, “What possibly can you not heal or fix?”
I felt sadness coming over me again thinking about James and how she almost died.
“A broken heart.” Was all I answered.
I got off Ruby and walked towards the center of the field. I heard Dean walk behind me so I knew he followed my move.
I sat down in the middle of all the flowers and Dean sat down in front of me.
“Yours?” he asked cautiously.
I gave him a faint smile. “No, I don't allow myself those feelings.”
“So who 's?”
I shouldn’t be telling him this, this is coven business.
But I’ve needed someone to confide in besides my sisters.
How do I tell my Coven that the person that's responsible for them is sometimes scared, hurt, uncertain, confused. Speaking to Dean comes naturally to me for some reason.
“You’re doing it again.” Dean snapped me out of it.
“Sorry. I was just thinking I shouldn’t be telling you these things.”
“Why not? We agreed we have nothing against one another, so maybe we can build trust.”
What? Since when did he build trust with anyone?
“You’re looking at me like I’m an alien or something.” he said, turning his face away from me.
“I’m sorry you’re just…not what I expected.”
“What did you expect? His voice changed to a low hostile tone.
“You didn’t trust me…”
“I explained that.” He turned to face me again.
“You don’t trust Jack…”
“And you do?” he asked surprised.
“I just didn’t think trust was something you did outside your pack.” I explained.
I noticed he calmed down again and his tone changed back to normal.
His beast is still fighting to keep control.
He lowered his head and talked, almost sounding vulnerable.
“I don’t. But I have a small feeling that I can trust you.”
He looked up and looked straight into my eyes.
“Am I wrong?”
His gaze had me hypnotized and I couldn’t look away, even if I wanted to.
“You’re not wrong Alpha. You can trust me, always.”
He took my hand and gave it a little squeeze.
“Likewise.” Was all he said . "And the name is Dean."
I usually don't use the Alpha's first name. But the name 'Dean' rolled off my tounge so smoothly.
I streached my hand out and offered it to him." Nice to meet you Dean, I'm Genevive."
He smiled and shook my hand. "Nice to met you Genevive."
We rode back admiring the night and telling things we normally would have never confessed. LIke his talent for dancing even though he hasn't in a long time. My obsession with unicorns and fairies and now extinct creatures.
When we got back we took the horse back to the stables. I put the saddles back in their place and turned around. Out of nowhere Dean pulled me into his arms giving me a tight hug. I was shocked. I just stood there without responding to his hug.
I think he felt it because he let go of me and apologized.
“I’m Sorry!” he exclaimed, sounding embarrassed.
He began rubbing his neck, “Don’t think I’m like that asshole shifter. I just wanted to show you I was….”
He wasn’t finished talking when I threw myself back into his arms, and squeezed him hard.
Dean 's POV…….
Genevive was putting the saddles away.
I was admiring her while she did that.
She was Tall , curvalicious , Long dark black hair, Copper colored skin that seemed to glow, the most perfect set of lips I had ever seen. But my favorite feature …those hips. Goddess she was perfect to me.
I began thinking our time together was coming to an end but I wanted to feel her warmth one more time. Knowing I wouldn’t be able to do anything once we were around everyone I just reacted. She turned around and I pulled her and hugged her tightly. My body instantly began feeling warm and I loved it. But then I noticed how rigid she was ,my heart started racing when she didn’t hug me back.
She just went through that fucker force kissing her and here I am force hugging her. I pulled away so quickly. I felt embarrassed, angry I had let myself get carried away
“I’m Sorry! “Don’t think I’m like that asshole shifter. I just wanted to show you I was….”
I didn’t even finish when she flung herself right back in my arms this time hugging me tighter than I had hugged her.
I felt her warmth all over again, her scent flowing out from the top of her head made my beast go crazy. He wanted her.
“You’re nothing like him, Dean.”
She looked up at me . “I trust you Dean.” I inhaled but couldn’t release it. For some reason her statement paralyzed me. She had already told me I could trust her . I told her I could trust her. But she never said she trusted me. I swallowed hard and couldn’t stop staring at her in awe.
She smiled and returned her face to my chest still hugging me.
I sighed releasing the breath I was holding in. I was holding on to her for dear life, she had awoken something up in me. It felt so strange and so good I was afraid if I let go the feeling would go away.
It was a ‘hang up, you hang up’ situation so I decided to pull away first to save face. She didn’t need to know what she did to me, more than she already knew.
“We should go.” I whispered to her. She just nodded in agreement.
She looked at me once more and my Beast howled.
He wanted her…I wanted her.
Sams POV…….(Earlier)
When we arrived at Jacks it was already packed but Row and her coven hadn’t arrived yet.
“Who are you looking for?” Luce asked.
“What makes you think I’m looking for someone?”
“You do know who you’re talking to right?” she said, giving me a sarcastic look.
I grinned , she was right I can’t exactly keep things from her . She knew me too well.
I noticed Dean was looking around also , who was he looking for?
“You ok Dean?”
“Yeah. I’m going for a walk.” He answered .
“You want me to come with you?”
“No.” he answered quickly and walked away.
“What's wrong with him?” Luce asked.
“Nothing , this is his first party since he met Vanessa. I expected it wouldn’t be easy. But I’m glad he agreed to come.”
After grabbing some drinks we sat down on a bench.
“Are you going to tell me what you’re doing with the witches?” She asked.
“What I’m doing about what?”
“Come on, you know what I’m talking about.”
I stared at her and decided I could trust her.
“I know what’s wrong with him now.”
“Really? Like he has a condition?”
I nodded.
“Is it serious?”
I nodded again.
“Goddess tell me. What 's wrong?”
“You have to promise me you wont tell anyone, don’t even repeat it. Ok?”
“You know I wont. What is it?”
“His soul..is fractured. Almost gone.”
Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped.
“Oh my God …You mean his beast is almost dominant?”
“Yeah. So you see why you can’t repeat this to anyone, not even yourself.”
“What do the witches have to do with this?”
“They figured it out, and now they’re helping us. We are not going to lose him.”
I heard a car drive up the driveway and I turned to see the Coven’s large beige SUV drive up.
I straighten out to try to get a look of who arrived .
“So that’s who you’re waiting for.” Luce said standing up.
I saw Row getting off the suv and I could feel myself getting excited.
I saw her greet Jack and then she walked towards the drinks.
A couple of shifters walked up to her and tried to chitchat. Even though she was clearly not interested they wouldn’t leave.
I did not like that.
I got up and asked Luce to join me, which she did.
We walked up behind Row and got a whiff of that cinnamon and vanilla.
“I was hoping you’d come.” I said from behind her.
She turned around and a smile appeared on her face almost instantly.
“Hey!” She put her arms around my neck and gave me a hug.
“Take me away from these guys, please.” She whispered in my ear.
I smiled and wrapped my arms around her waist .
“Who are your friends?’’ I asked while looking at the guys .
They got a sense of my Beta aura and began backing down.
“Oh um I’m David this is Clark. We were just getting a drink.” And they walked away.
“Thank you so much.” She told me.
“Any time.” I smiled back.
“Hi I'm Lucia.” Luce said, stretching out her hand to Row.
“Oh Goddess I’m so sorry, Row this is my best friend Lucia. Luce this is Row.” Row shook her hand and gave her a warm smile.
“Nice to meet you Lucia. Your name is beautiful.”
“Thanks.”
“How long have you known Sam?” Luce inquired.
“Umm not long really. A couple of weeks?” She asked, looking at me.
“Yeah, sounds about right.”
Luce and Row got along great, they appeared like they had known each other for a long time.
We were playing poker when Dean linked me.
“I’m taking the Master to Hecate. Make sure her coven knows and that they all make it home safely.”
“Is everything ok?” Row asked, noticing my trance during the link.
“Dean took your master back to Hecate. He wants me to make sure you all get home safe.”
“Why did he take her?”
“He didn’t say and now he’s not letting me get through. Maybe we should go now.”
Row and Luce agreed and Row informed the rest of her coven.
I drove the Coven’s SUV and drove them back to Hecate. While Jake and Ryan took Lucy and the rest of our pack home.
I was silent on the drive. I was worried.
“Are you worried about your Alpha?” Row asked from the passenger seat.
“No. Yes. I'm worried about both of them. What if he figured out the truth? What if he tries to hurt Genevive because of it?”
She took my hand between hers. “Don’t worry. Master Genevive is not helpless. She can take care of herself.” I relaxed with her touch and I smiled , “Well now I’m worried about my brother.”
She giggled and I kissed the top of her hand, again I couldn’t help it.
We arrived at Hecate and saw Dean's Jeep but they weren’t inside the Manor.
“Can you link him?” Sonya asked, very worried.
“He’s not letting me in, as Alpha he can block whoever and right now he’s blocking everyone.”
We must have been looking for them for about 30 minutes when they arrived. They were walking together and Dean had a look on his face. It was like a light had turned on in his head and was shining out of his eyes.
What did this witch do to my brother?
