{"Continuation"}
Our eyes locked again and although she's lost her purity, I could see the innocence and naivety in her eyes. I held her waist tighter and she gasped in my touch, placing her head on my shoulder. I smirked, not minding the eyes burning on us.
"Your name?" I whispered into her ears.
"Ma..ya! My kin..g" She stutters, She's so frightened.
"I do not appreciate stutters, little one and you are beautiful". I complemented. She's making me feel strange and I don't understand these feelings. Holding her firmly, I led her to the middle of the dancefloor.
"Thank you, my king". She let out as I can feel her relax a bit. The music changed to a faster classic song and I got in the mood to dance.
"W..ha..t a..re you d.oing my k.ing?" She mumbled feeling uncomfortable with the eyes boring us.
"Can you dance, little one?" I whispered into her ears again ignoring her question, causing her to shiver. She just shakes her head, closing her eyes. I know I affect her, I can smell her arousal. I have that effect on every woman.
"Step on my feet and follow my lead". I commanded in a low tone, she stiffened not doing what I said like she couldn't believe I just said that. I placed my left arm on her shoulders firmly while my right hand remained on her lower back.
"Trust me" I whispered again as my lips brushed her neck, Now she's panting hard. I have no choice, I want to dance with her so I release my calming pheromones to help her calm down and it immediately starts taking effect as I feel her relax more in my arms. She finally stepped on my shoes following my movements as we both swayed along with the music.

{"Maya"}
I was nervous and scared as he strolled to me, I remember Mrs Brooke's warning of not letting him close to me. I wanted to run, I wanted to disappear but how could I? How could I when the most powerful beast I know is strolling straight to me with an intense gaze as if he had found his prey? I lost it, I gave up all hope of being alive.
"Lily I am sorry, but it seems we won't make it out here alive". I mindlink my wolf but the strange thing is, she was excited.
"Something good is about to happen to us, Maya, trust me, I can feel it." She's talking rubbish so I blocked her and now he's standing right behind me and I can feel his eyes boring into me. I felt chills go down my body when he tapped my shoulder, I quickly tilted my head up to meet his gaze. Oh mine, even though I am scared out of my pants, I couldn't stop myself from ogling at his handsome self. He pulled me up from my seat and dragged me to the dance floor.
When we got there, he pulled me closer to him and snaked his hands around my waist. I couldn't control the thousands of emotions anymore as I began panting, he nuzzled my neck sending electric sparks into my body and my core began feeling strange. Our eyes accidentally met again and the anger I saw in his eyes, made me quiver and I immediately lowered my head.
He lifted my chin to meet his gaze and though I was so scared, I didn't have a choice but to lock eyes with him again. He pulled me in closer so that our bodies were now glued together and I placed my head on his shoulders. His scent was already consuming the whole of me, burying me into a sweet moment as I placed my head on his shoulders. Being this close to him, I realised he's taller than I thought.
"Your name?" he whispered.
"Ma..ya my kin..g" I stuttered
"I do not appreciate stutters, little one and you are beautiful". I blushed at his compliment, his voice like music to my ears and just then my wolf howled in excitement. Am still trying to figure out why my wolf is feeling this way. It's not like his, my mate.
"Thank you my king" I muttered back trying hard not to stutter again as he dragged me to the middle of the dancefloor. I could feel eyes boring at me making me feel uncomfortable but then I also saw the amusement on his face.
"W..h.at are y..ou do.ing my kin..g?" I mumbled feeling uncomfortable about the stares.
"Can you dance, little one?". He whispered into my ears, almost brushing his lips against my neck. I couldn't help the feeling of excitement, as my core twitched in need.
"Step on my shoes and follow my lead," he commanded but I was shocked, I couldn't move. What's happening? This is too real to be true, to step on the king's shoes?
"Calm down Maya" Lily chastised in my head and suddenly I felt his hand on my shoulder holding me firmly as his other hand remained on my waist.
"Trust me," he assured but then something changed and suddenly I started relaxing as I smelt the sweetest scent I have ever smelt in my entire life. I relaxed in his arms as he guided me through the music.
The music soon changed to a softer yet fierce song, with its soft Spanish guitar strumming, causing us to sway and slink around one another like an inverted mirror image. He spuns me and I could feel the force of his ripping muscles propelling me. As he pulled me closer again, I felt his hot breath against my pale cheek. His every move was dominant and powerful and still, we circled in perfect sync. Our dance, more than a dance.
This raised the very urge in me to desire him more and be his, it was frightening but felt safe, angry and calm, sexy and sweet. Why didn't I share these feelings with my mate? Why do I feel this way towards him even when I have a mate? I became confused as I was lost in the charisma of this man.
As he lifted me mid-air with his hands around my waist, I realised eyes were on us, many filled with envy and jealousy. The final step, the final pose then the room was on its feet showering in applause. The dance was intimately sensual.
He released his grip on my body, staring deep into my eyes before leaving the room and just then, I realised, I was a panting mess. My feet were trembling, I tried to gain my composure when I felt a hand holding my shoulder. Turning around I saw Aliya looking at me with concern.
"Are you alright?" she asked, leading me to our table.
"Yes" I manage to respond but truthfully I wasn't. Am afraid of what is coming for me. I saw so much anger and disgust in his eyes before he left the ballroom. I am sure I am in trouble and am worried that Mrs Brooke might get caught for helping me.
Aliya gave me some water to drink and that reminded me about Ava. Why isn't she helping me instead and where is she? I asked myself glancing around for her but couldn't find her.
"Did you see Ava?" I asked.
"Umm, no I didn't" she replied but I can feel she's hiding something. I overlooked it as It's none of my business.
"We have to leave now, everyone Is out". She let out as I glanced around the room, realising how empty the whole place is.
"Do you need help to walk?" she asked again. I wonder why she's still being nice to me.
"No thanks" I answered and she nodded and strolled out. I felt so alone, looking forward to my death.so much for a dance.
