When I saw those eyes, my mind went wild. I felt hot and tingly. I knew that meant that the Alpha was my mate. He must have sensed it as well, because he stood and everyone looked at him waiting to see what he would do. When the others followed his eyes and saw that he was staring at me they all gasped. Everyone was wondering if I was his mate.
He began walking through all of the other people not once stopping to speak to anyone else. When he got to me he stopped. I could see that his breathing matched mine which was currently heavy. I could he my heart beating out of my chest and wondered if he could hear it as well. The Alpha reached up and cupped the side of my face and ran his thumb across my cheek.
In the background I heard everyone quiet down until no one was saying anything. I could not help but think that his hand was the warmest and softest thing ever to have touched me. I began to close my eyes to savor the feeling. He reached under my chin and lifted it so that I was looking into his eyes. Those wonderful blue eyes that had a ring of green just around the pupils were so exotic looking that I couldn't help staring into their depths.
"I have been searching for you for a long time" said the Alpha. "May I dance with you?" he asked. "Yes you may" I answered. We began to walk to the center of the dance floor. Thank goodness my parents insisted on my taking dance lessons. We began dancing to the slow music that was playing. Everyone cleared the floor so that it was just me and him. I was enjoying being lead around the floor by the Alpha and he seemed to be enjoying being here with me. We danced for a few songs and then went to get some refreshments.
As we were sitting at the table, we began talking. I learned that his name was Damien. He was also the oldest of his siblings. He was also a great listener. I told him about myself and he seemed genuinely interested in everything that I had to say. As the night went on, we were laughing and having so much fun together. I kept noticing everyone trying to hear what was being said between us so I suggested going for a walk in the garden.
When we stepped outside, I realized that I had forgotten my shawl and it was beginning to get chilly. The Alpha gave me his jacket to keep me warm. As we walked, he told me about how he was glad that he had found me. Secretly I was just as happy to be his mate. He stopped under a lamp that had flowers circling its pole. He then asked me if he could kiss me. I was so nervous that I could only nod. He gently reach up and grasped my chin lifting my face to meet his. He brushed his thumb across my bottom lip and caused me to shudder with pleasure. He bent his head down and pressed his lips to mine.
What started as a soft kiss, quickly turned into a very passionate one. He deepened the kiss even further and placed one hand on the back of my neck and the other on my hip. I felt like my knees couldn't hold me any longer and if he hadn't been holding me they would have given out. After our kissing came to an end, he asked if he could accompany me to my home. I agreed and we set off with a few guards following close behind.
