"A woman should soften but not weaken a man." - Sigmund Freud
Werewolf Kingdom
Moonlight Pack
Fyrrah's POV
"Excuse me?" I asked in disbelief.
"You heard me, you're coming with me." He stated icily, making a move to close the distance between us but I moved backwards, accidentally bumping into Alpha Luces' muscular chest. He steadied me on my feet but we both looked up when a loud snarl echoed throughout the room. Before I could register what's happening I was pulled tightly into another muscular chest vibrating with low growls. Tingles erupted everywhere on my skin making me feel dizzy.
"MINE!" the voice growled possessively, rubbing his cheek against mine. He inhaled deeply, growling lowly when he noticed how stiff I became.
"I'm not your food, plus I really need to go right now. As much as I wanted to stay and chat with all of you," I looked around the room, noticing the terrified expressions of the rogues, the guards behind the Alpha King and Alpha Luces' stoic one. "There are things that requires my attention, you know." I wiggled out of his arms but it's like trying to wiggle your way out of chains tightly covering your whole torso. I slumped back, sighing in defeat when I noticed he wouldn't even budge. I raised an eyebrow at him, "So, where are we going, Alpha?"
That seemed to please him as he growled lowly with approval, holding me tighter. "To my castle, and call me Alessio." He answered.
"Alessio." I tested the name on my tongue... damn, even his name is sexy. He purred, inhaling my scent deeply. I eyed him suspiciously, "How do I know you're not going to feed me to the lions when we get there?"
He narrowed his eyes at me, "I don't have lions in my castle. You should know by now that when I want someone dead, I do it myself, little elf."
Little elf... I flushed red and he only chuckled at my reaction. Seriously, Fyrrah? Is that the only thing you've heard? I glared at him before hiding my face in his chest, at least he smells divine. My shoulders sagged as exhaustion took its toll on me. I spent the rest of the day tracking Leo's men right after I received the note from Virgo and it's almost midnight already. I deserve a break, yes, but with my sister gone I doubt I'll be getting much sleep. These sparks weren't helping either, and Alessio's warmth seemed to be lulling me to sleep.
"Tired, little elf?" He inquired gently. I nodded, burrying my face in his chest further. I don't have the energy to be in my normal beast mode attitude right now, he's too comfy. He held me tighter and turned to Alpha Luces. "I would like to stay for the night."
"Yes, of course. I'll escort you to your room, my king." The alpha replied.
My ears twitched, earning chuckles from the guards as they started whispering to each other. All I can hear was 'aww, she's cute', 'she's adorable' and 'they're cute together', and honestly those things made my ears twitch more as I grumbled angrily. I told you already, a stressed Fyrrah is an angry Fyrrah.
"Let's get you to bed." The great king seemed to be enjoying this. Well, since he really wants to imprison me in his castle then he should know how to handle me whem I'm in my lazy mode. Besides, I'll get carried to my own room. Thank the heavens, no more prison bed. I yawned as the darkness consumed me and my dreams were filled with warm, comfy teddy bears and shaped fluffy pillows that seemed to set my body on fire everytime my skin made contact with them. The sparks igniting on my skin proves that somehow, my dreams turned into reality in a completely different form.
***
I woke up feeling refreshed, the sunlight streaming from the open balcony of the elegant room made every corner bright with the morning grace. I can feel energy buzzing underneath my skin... This renewed vigor to start the day made me feel unease though. I've lost this feeling when the king of the fire realm ordered my execution. I used to feel this energy every morning when I woke up, telling me I was home, safe. Right now, my definition of home is either above the tree where I usually sleep or the cave near the sea shore where I kept all the items I have stolen from Leonardo's men and the word safe doesn't exist in my situation right now. I'm not home, am I?
I stiffened when I felt a hot breath fanning my left cheek and the arm draped on my waist tightened, pulling me impossibly closer. My heart beats erratically as I slowly looked behind me to see who the hell signed his death sentence right now. My breath was caught in my throat when I was met with intense gray eyes staring back at me. He slightly moved on top of me, eyes burning with adoration and possessiveness. His forefinger caressed my cheek while looking at my lips.
"You didn't tell me your name, little elf." His feathery light touch moved onto my jaw slowly and sensually, making me bite my lip in anticipation. His thumb lightly pulled my lower lip, freeing it from my teeth and he graced it with the same feathery touch.
I tried so hard to ignore the sweet sensation he was making me feel. "Fyrrah..." I muttered. "My name is Fyrrah Red."
Normally, any girl would've blushed like a damn school girl. But since I'm not 'normal', I did what any abnormal girl would do. I bit his thumb...hard.
He yelped, pulling his poor finger from my mouth faster than I can comprehend but that never stopped me from laughing my arse out. You should've seen his face! The Big Bad Alpha King was horrified. Damn, this is better than I thought.
A low growl stopped me from laughing like a maniac and I turned to see him protectively staring at my exposed legs. I was only wearing a shirt, the hem stopped midthigh and I bet my sister's favorite cat that this shirt is his. I don't like that cat anyway. He started to crawl towards me but I stopped him within arm's reach.
"Stop right there, Alpha Pervy." I warned.
He furrowed his eyebrows making him look like an adorable child, "Pervy?" He asked confused.
"Well, you're looking at my legs like I'm your next meal and that is something only a pervert would do!" I exclaimed loudly. His eyes widen and he hurriedly tried to reach me but I slapped his hands away shooting him a glare. He sighed, hurt, and stood up instead. He disappeared into another connecting room, which I'm guessing is the closet and returned carrying sweatpants and another shirt to change into.
"I don't plan on doing what you're thinking earlier..." He started with unease. "My wolf just wanted to cover your scent with ours so that no male would come near you." He finished with his jaws clenched tightly.
I unconsciously smiled, I've overheard other elves before saying exactly like that. Wolves are territorial. Once their's, always their's. But I don't understand why. "You don't have to do that, I can take care of myself. I may even break two or three of their bones." I grinned sheepishly.
He sighed heavily and his eyes kept shifting from gray to black, almost as if he's fighting for control. "My wolf can only relax when... you know, you smell like us." He chuckled darkly and shivers ran down my spine.
I exhaled a breath I'm holding, "Just once, okay? Only right now."
His eyes lit up, turning dark and a growl escaped his lips. He was in front of me in an instant, his head placed on the crook of my neck as he inhaled deeply. When it seems that he already familiarized my scent he started rubbing his face on my neck adoringly making me giggle. He did this to almost every part of my body and back to my neck again.
"Mine..." He purred gently, smilling like a kid in a candy store. I can't help but smile seeing the big bad alpha like this. He's mental, I thought, shaking my head.
"Done?" I asked, ruffling his soft hair. He nodded at me, eyes twinkling as he handed me my new change of clothes... his clothes.
"I'll ask someone to buy you clothes later." I thanked him and he left to give me some privacy. After I'm done he led me to the dinning area, everywhere wolves were happily digging on their plates. As soon as they felt the dominating power in the atmosphere they stopped, turning to look at us then what happened next surprised me. They all stood up, even Alpha Luces who looked pleased and honored to see his king and have him staying a night within his pack territory, and bared their neck in submission. "You may continue." Alessio said coldly. Does this man know the word 'thank you'? I turned to glare at him, jabbing his ribs using my elbow to which he growled lowly at me. I growled back, which surprised him. They seemed to notice our little 'whose-more-dominant' contest but none interfered. Chuckling, he rolled his eyes at me, "Thank you for allowing me and my men to stay here. Alpha Luces, I would like to have a conversation with you before we leave though." He smiled.
I mentally cheered in my mind, though I know he just simply allowed me to have that little victory. The wolves' reactions however, was a different story. They stood there, shocked was an understatement, more like stupefied. Their jaws were gaping open and their eyes were as wide as saucers. Most males sniffed the air after they recovered and when their eyes fell on my short frame an angry snarl resonated in the dining room.
"Put your fucking eyeballs down!" He roared, rubbing his scent off of me once again. The males' faces lost their color as all eyes went down in just a nanosecond.
When he calmed down, Alpha Luces invited him into his office. Sadly, I was left in the waiting area in front of the room. Fortunately, I can hear every damn thing they're saying. Information about me, huh? I smirked, blocking their annoying voices as I continued eating my breakfast.
