The Runaway

Chapter 3

Everyone in the hall gasped. They looked at me incredulously. I was about to get killed and now I am the Alpha's mate. Nick was staring at me, taking in everything about me. He still looked shock but the way his eyes roamed on me told me he liked what he was seeing. But that didn't stop me from feeling self conscious and blush like crazy.

He chuckled slightly and took a strand on my hair and put it behind my ear so he could see me clearly. I heard  someone clearing his throat and Nick sighed annoyed.

"What is it?" he asked without taking his eyes off me.

"Sir, Should we leave you alone?" the elder man asked. "I'm guessing since she was telling the truth the trial can be dismissed".

"you can stay but we're leaving" he stated.

The older man came near us and he bowed his head at us. Ok, that is weird! I blushed furiously if that was even posible.

"We're so sorry, Luna" he apologized with his eyes locked in mine "We made a terrible mistake and the consequences of it could have been devastating. I just implore you to understand that it was for the pack's safety".

Nick growled menacingly wich made the man tremble. I put a hand on Nick shoulder and he relaxed a bit but his eyes were now a dangerous black.

"That's Ok. I understand" I replied feeling like he wanted my forgiveness. Yep weird.

Nick took my hand with his and I shivered from the tingles that was sent trough my body. He led me out of the hall without saying anything. Where are we going? I wanted to ask but I didn´t feel confortable with him, I didn´t know him, he could perfectly be another Jackson, for all I knew. When I was starting to get impatient he opened a big door. We came into a beautiful garden with lots of flowers in it. I didn´t even recognized some of them. There was a fountain in the middle with some benches to sit there. He led me to the fountain and sat in one of the benches bringing me down with him by his side.

"I reckon you are hungry" he stated. Wow, this guy speaks just truthful things.

I smiled and nodded but he said nothing more about it. He just stared at me again with such intensity as if expecting to know everything about me by looking me in the eye. I shifted in my seat,  unconfortable.

"So, you are Anna?" he asked happily.

I laughed at his choice of question. He raised an eyebrow but smiled nonetheless.

"Yeah, and you must be Nick" I replied amused. He shrugged.

"Yeah, some may say that"

I couldn´t help but giggle and his smile just got broad. He really was beautiful.

"You are so beautiful, Anna" he told me and I´m sure I just won The Blush of the Year contest while butterflies were trying to get out of my stomach.

Nick just chuckled and slowy bringed his finger to my cheek as if waiting for me to back off but honestly I wouldn´t do that. When his finger reached my right cheek, he lingered there for a while and then started to trace my face with his long finger passing trough my nose, my jaw, my eyebrows and then my cheek again.

"And this" he stated with glowing eyes "is the cutest thing I´ve ever seen"

"Oh God!" I whined embarrased, wich only earned me a smirk from him. Wow, that is dazzling!

"Ok, I´ll stop but only because you need to eat" he said. He nodded to my left and I followed his gaze. That´s when I noticed some guys with trollies filled with all kind of food and drinks. My stomach growled against my wish and I thought I was going explode from embarrasment.
