Sapphire
I had just come from some pretty I intense training. We were all starting to prepare for the war everyone knew was coming. All I wanted to do now was take in the beautiful scenery. I couldn't help but wonder where things went so wrong and how our world got so cold and cruel.
As crazy as it seemed I began to sing softly to myself. Music was my salvation and it helped me cope. Suddenly an amazing scent caught my attention. It smelled like fresh water straight from a well mixed with the smell of fresh cut grass. I loved it. I turned around to look for the person responsible for making my senses go haywire. Never would I have thought I would have seen the most beautiful man to ever walk this earth standing in front of me.
My wolf yelled 'mate' and I stood there stunned beyond belief. If someone would have told me I would have met my mate today, I wouldn't have believed them. The fact that he was gorgeous and an alpha made it even more incredible. He radiated power and my wolf was filled with pride knowing that he was strong and could protect us.
He was tall. About six foot three and had a magnificently toned body from what I could see. He was beautiful to say the least with his milky skin that held a slight sun kissed tan. My wolf was begging me to touch him.
I couldn't look away as his pale baby blue eyes burned holes into my flesh as he ogled my body. I felt my cheeks flush as I wondered if he liked what he saw. When he spoke and asked my name I could have died right there on the spot, just from the sound of his voice. Yes, it was that sexy.
I told him my name and he smiled the most breath taking smile. I was falling and falling hard. The worst part was that there was nothing I could do to stop it. Until reality set in.
He must have been the alpha from the enemy territory that Alpha Lance had spoken of. I knew what my destiny was and I shouldn't have been surprised that fate brought us together this way.
Here I was face to face with the man I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with. The one that was meant to love me unconditionally. The one that I was meant to love unconditionally. Yet he was the same man that wanted to destroy everything I held dear.
Not only was my mate an alpha but undoubtedly one with the opposite beliefs as mine. A tyrant who wanted to gain as much territory as possible with no thought of the consequences. Someone who didn't care how many lives would have to be sacrificed, how many families that would be ripped apart in order for him to get his way. I was pulled out of my thoughts as he came closer to me.
"Will you do the honor of coming with me my angel?" he asked as I just stood there lost for words. As much as I wanted to scream yes to the heavens that I would follow him anywhere, I knew I couldn't. I needed time and there was no telling how much. I was in a tough position and I couldn't make the decision on my own. I needed my girls because this was insane.
"As much as I want to, you must understand why I can't," I said caressing his face.
His smile turned into a frown. I so desperately wished that I could bring it back but it was beyond my control. I couldn't just run away with him and sit back while he attacked my territory. My loved ones were here and I couldn't just abandon them.
"I know how difficult this must be for you angel, but you must understand that you are mine. I can't just leave without you. Please forgive me," he said as he threw me over his shoulder and carried me away.
