Walking to Marcy's shop, I'm brought up short when I see a petite woman in there behind the counter dancing seductively. The sway of her hips kept my attention much longer than I'd like to admit before I opened the door and walked into the shop and Ace, he was no better. When she turned around with a bright smile on her face, hearing the bell above the door, my breath stopped in my lungs and I found it hard to breathe properly. In my head, Ace rolls around and compliments the woman but then I smell it. She's a human. The only thing Ace is worried about however, is how the girls smile drops off of her face as soon as she catches sight of us.
'What's your problem Ace?' I demand from him. His bizarre behavior combined with my equally bizarre reaction making me on edge.
'Nothing', he replies shortly, blocking me out from contacting him again.
My mood dampening drastically, I can feel the temperature around me dropping. As we stand there staring at each other, I smirk as I notice her checking me out. Her eyes wandering over my towering form, my face and then down my body. I watch as she blushes and seems to shake herself back into reality and stare into my eyes. Now that she's looking back at me I put up my mask of indifference and ice.
"Hi, can I help you sir?" She asks me.
I still inside, my thoughts blank. Her voice is beautiful, powerful but kind, warm, inviting. It makes my wolf yip and hop and roll around happily. He never does that. He's always a brooding, moody bastard. The years of loneliness have taken its toll on him and he no longer tolerates much interaction with women. In fact, most times I struggle to contain Ace as he snaps around in my head, wanting to scare all the women away from us. He yells at me all the time that he wants a mate but he tolerates no one.
I have given up years ago at finding my Mate since I'm 20 now. Most males, especially an Alpha, finds his Mate at the age of 18. Sometimes even at the age of 16! Not only am I an Alpha, but I am a King as well. My pack needs a Luna, and I have many She - Wolves trying to get that title but I'll never hand over that position to anyone other than my Mate.
Realizing that I've been standing here just looking at this girl I snap at her, "Where is Marcy?"
It's not her fault I stood here looking like an idiot but my body and wolf's reaction to her is unsettling and confusing to say the least. I'll be asking Marcy about this human girl. It's clear she doesn't know who I am, as most humans don't, since it's customary for the King to never leave Pack Grounds. However, I oversee my pack members' businesses in this human town, making sure no one comes and gives them trouble and no rouges stop by to cause destruction. Yeah I could send my Beta or some warriors but I'd rather do it myself.
As the human narrows her eyes at me in anger I watch her closely. My Alpha aura has no effect on her. It doesn't scare her or make her nervous like it does with most humans which makes me wonder. She can't be a wolf though, because she wouldn't dare look at me this way. She'd be looking at the ground to show her submission.
As I watch her I notice a slight change in her eyes, a quick flash of gold. Then the girl excuses herself, rubbing her arms and I feel a slight burst of heat from her. Sniffing the air, I notice her scent is stronger, just for a moment. I can hear her in the back itching and then the water comes on and splashes. I assume she's rinsing her face. With questions running a rampage in my head I wait for the girl to come back and feel slightly disappointed when she sighs upon seeing me.
"When Marcy gets here, tell her Kade was looking for her," I say while already turning around. I don't need to see her face and I know she'll pass the message along. I need Marcy to contact me as soon as possible. There's something about this human that is getting under my skin and I am determined to figure out what it is before it drives me insane.
'We will see her again', Ace tells me.
I don't bother replying. Oh yes, we'll see her again. I'm going to make sure of that.
