I snap my eyes open as I feel my body shaking I feel a second of panic till I look around and still find myself in the car, as I look out the window I see we are travelling along a gravel road with a speed a little too fast for my liking.
I must have dozed off, the last thing I remember was watching the cars all leaving and seeing one car still parked with 3 men surrounding the viechle while what looks like a body being loading into the car. I'm guessing that was the wolf who Jason killed.
I rub my eyes and shift my body I feel all cramped up. we must have been travelling for some time now.
I know alpha west is still in the seat across from me so without holding myself back this time I move my eyes slowly in his direction.
his body is relaxed as my eyes travel up his body to his face. his arms are crossed over his chest as his head is rested back on the seat. He has his eyes closed and a part of me is thankful as I take my time looking over his features.
The first thing i notice is he has a large scar down his right side of the face from just above his eyebrow down under his ear ending on his neck.
I frown at how that scar could have happened and be such a prominent feature as us werewolves have the ability to heal quite quickly leaving just small traces of a scar of the wound that was once there. But this one looks like it went deep and I briefly wonder how he even survived such a horrific cut to the face.
I feel a twinge in my heart looking at all the battle scars masking his flawless dark skin. Before I realise, My hand reaches out to touch him just to feel his skin beneath my fingers and what it's like to have skin contact with my mate. My heart is starting to beat faster as I feel the adrenaline rush through me. My fingertips slowly float towards him, almost drawn to him unwillingly.
"Enough" he snaps with the same irritation in his voice as before.
His eyes snap open and looks over at me. His steady brown eyes.. making me frown in confusion. They were black? I'm sure they were black. Those black soulless eyes will always haunt me forever. But there brown almost gold specs through them... they're actually stunning to look at.
His dark eyes leave mine and look down to my hand just hanging there inches away from his skin. Shit can I be anymore awkward.
His eyes widen for just a second but I caught the slight change in his expression. He stays staring at my hand as I'm frozen like a statue not daring to move when all I'm doing is screaming at my hand to come back. Did it listen.. no.
He glances back up to me as if he's reading my face than looks back down at my unmoving hand like he's examining it. I too examine it. I feel so stupid but my body is tense my muscles are locked and the tension is beginning to grow in the car.
My eyes widen as I see his hand flinch just before he raises it and wraps his large hand around mine, as soon his fingers touch mine I feel a burst of sparks. I feel it so strong in my hand travelling up my arm. I look back to his face and watch his dark brown eyes looking at my hand in his.
His head cocks to the side as his eyes get lost in what's happening. I feel more lost in observing him observing me. He's looking at our hands just like a kid that has just been told that Santa clause is actually real and shares a house with the Easter bunny.
Suddenly the mood changes him giving off a dark stand off feel, it was all i needed to go in flight mode and I retract my hand finally able to gain control back over my body. I look back at him and he's just watching me with a blank. I can hear my heart racing and I try to breathe steadily to calm myself down.
Suddenly the car stops and he turns away from me opening his door as he exits the car.
He seems to have taken the thick suffocating feel with him out the door. The weight of it lifting from me leaving me to clear the haze in my mind. I take another deep breath.
