"And I'll be damned if I let you cower in fear,"
His words echoes in my mind, and my heart suddenly felt warm. I never thought I'll be hearing such words from such as man and what is this feeling? It feels different from what I felt when our eyes meet, this felt more familiar...like I have know him all my life. My eyes widens at the thought that just cross my mind. I clench my fist.
What is wrong with me? I'm not acting like myself, Even though this man is my mate I shouldn't just be moved by his words, I don't even know him, I've been disappointed in love before I can't just trust easily. I must not be thinking straight because of the poison, it's heightening my desires caused by the mate bond. Thank the goddess he moved away from me, before I did something I would regret.
A clearing throat pull me from my thoughts.
"Sire, the path is becoming foggy, I can still navigate through but...." The driver explains and they exchange glance, then I knew the Alpha beside me is giving orders through the pack mind link.
The driver! How could I have forgotten about him, embarrassment flushed through me?
"Go back and take another root to the airport"
Go back?
"No!" I let out impulsively without thinking, and I fought the argue to facepalm myself when the two of them shifts their gaze to me.
I swallow, meeting the Alpha's gaze."This is the shortest root, Your Highness, it would take a lot of your time if we go back when we've come this far, "I say boldly, I have to be convincing, I can't let this man think I'm a weakling.
I struggled not look away when I held his gaze, he has that look in his eyes again, like he's studying me, why won't he just say anything?
" These paths aren't safe," He finally spoke impassively. It was clear he isn't bordered by any threat but is speaking more to my safety.
I grit my teeth, hoping my nails weren't digging into my palm. The last thing I want is to be viewed as weak, I have to show him that I am not afraid.
"I understand your highness, but I insist,"
We held each other gaze for a while, I didn't know where I got the sudden confidence from but I didn't want to back down.
"Fine,"
I watched as signaled the driver to continue with a gesture of his hand.
We continued in silence, as and I couldn't bring myself to look at the Alpha beside him, my heart is racing.
The truth is honestly i did not want to go back to take a different root because I didn't want my brother's men to cause any trouble, the other root is close to their borders. Right I will deal with anything but that.
I focus my gaze outside the window and felt goosebumps instantly crawl to my skin and I began to sweat hard, why do u suddenly have this ominous feeling? Now I begin to really question my decision, is this really the right choice? The path got foggier the deeper we got.
Eerie is an understatement to describe this place, almost all the trees were dead or leafless, these paths never looked this creepy before, what's up with it this night? It completely changed or are we really on the right path? My gaze landed on the black raven on the branches staring down at us as if giving a warning sound.
We rode in silence and the deeper we went the colder it got, I wrap my hand around myself as I lean in further into my seat.
"Put this on, it will get colder," I froze when a leather jacket lands on my laps.It smells just like him, I quickly noted. Without a word, I put it on and nearly drowned in the sheer size of it.
"Thank you," I say, feeling that warm feeling in my chest again. Who would have ever thought that the cold-blooded Alpha Ambrose rumored to be the devil himself would be this gentlemanly to a woman?
I snuggled into the jacket slowly inhaling his scent, but moments later I realized the jacket is not enough, I was freezing again. I glanced at him from the side of my eyes and he seemed to be unmoved by the weather, is this really the power of a pure-blood?
Since my birth, I've been thought that Lycans we're monsters who viewed werewolves as nothing in comparison to them, they view us as nothing but failed attempts to ascend to the level of the gods.While us in our path view them as power-hungry fellows that would do anything to achieve absolute control.
The Lycans and werewolves have been mortal enemies for as long as I can remember with the Lycans seeing themselves as superior to us, treating my kind as nothing but slaves and minions to do their task.
Though this wasn't always the case, it all started centuries ago when Lycans we're among the first supernatural to grace the face of earth, and one of the strongest too.Then they existed in only one pack though they were distributed all over the earth. The ruler or the Alpha as at that time had two wives and sons, and these two sons were regarded as twins because their mothers gave birth to them on the same day and time, so when it was time for the next Alpha to ascend, the two brothers began frightening for the throne. The Alpha had to avoid choosing one over the other in favoritism, so the Alpha decided to set up a competition to decide who the next Alpha would be.
There were three competitions in general, a test of Leadership, a test for knowledge and finally a test of strength.
Both brother past the first two test so when it got to the test of strength they had to go against each other as opponents.
Blam!
My thoughts suddenly got interrupted when something hits the car and from the window I caught something moving in the shadows.
Red eye!!!
