The Fox and the Alpha

Chapter 23- Caroline

A few hours before...

Caroline's POV

They're coming. I can sense it. I feel them. I feel something rising inside me that I can only describe as excitement. I don't know why I'm feeling this way. I don't even know what I'm feeling! God, what am I feeling? What is this?

I've been around powerful creatures before, like Caroline or Derek or Mary Ann, well 'Red', as everyone calls her, and sure I could feel their power, but this was different. I felt... I felt as if a huge wave was coming, at least like something was coming, I couldn't tell if it was good or bad. I knew it was that that something was big, really big.

"They are here, finally, I just heard the car." April announced slightly annoyed, confirming my suspicious and making me even more anxious.

'Holy unicorn poop what's happening to me?' I thought as I felt my heart speed up and my breathing becoming irregular.

Not wanting to cause any suspicious, I started to almost run to the kitchen, walking past all my friends who were fixing their outfits and hair. Well, all except April who was in the couch whatching the scene with amusement in her features.

'That girl is something else.' I thought as I entered the safety room.

Well it was the kitchen, but right know, it was the only barrier I had between me and him.

'Wait, what? Him? Who the hell is him? Why would I think that? And no I dont want to get away from him he's my ... he's... he's my.. my...' I couldn't complete the sentence.

It was like the answer was right in from of me but my mind was hiding it. What could it be? What was he? Why couldn't I figure it out?

I snapped out of my trance to hear the familiar sound of people meeting and greeting each other, indicating that they where already here.

'Okay, come on girl, you're not going to stay here like a child afraid of monster are you? Come on, go out there! They are just ordinary people! You can face then, he'll be there don't worry!' I peptalked myself.

'Wait what? He's there? Why do I know this? And why does that make me feel better? For cookies ' sake girl get it together, go out that kitchen door and act like a normal human being, because you'll most definitely be the only one.' I thought taking a deep breath.

I slowly moved towards the door, the chatting getting a little louder, although that sound was nothing but a whisper compared to the sound of my pounding heart in my ears. I grabbed the doorknob and turned it quickly to avoid giving in to the fear and excitement that was growing inside me.

My eyes instantly found a pair of icy blue ones, sending a wave- scratch that a tsunami of emotions crushing into my fragile self, knocking the breath right out of my lungs, making me gasp, not taking my eyes of the beautiful man.

He was tall, had an intimidating muscular frame, dark hair and familiar icy blue eyes, ones that were fixated on a wall. He had a dark frown plastered on his face, making him look even more terrifying. I couldn't describe the urge I had to run up to him and. ..and. .. I don't know. I just wanted to be near him, with him.

'What's wrong with me?' I thought panicking.

I was not one to fall for every handsome guy that passed by me. Although I never had lack of them, I always kept myself away from boys, much to my dad's relieve. I never had any experiences of any kind, and I had never been in love. Again, not for lack of suiters. I guess I was just waiting for the one.

'Waiting for him.' I thought involuntarily, making a look of realisation take over my features.

He was him? What was so special about this man? Why did I felt this way towards him? Why did I felt almost... in love?
