Behind The Unseen Stars

Chapter Six Face to Face

Luca's POV

I was in shock from what I saw in front of me. I don't even know exactly what I saw. I'll do my best to describe it, when I came into the clearing the first thing I saw was two spirits standing off to the side. I couldn't see their forms very well at all and then I saw a man, he was in a lot of pain and he was just standing there and he was looking right at me, he also looked very angry but what stunned me the most was the gorgeous woman that I saw.

I noticed right off that she was injured very badly, it was not just that I could tell by looking at her and seeing it physically, I could feel it emotionally as well, like it was my pain not just hers.

There was also her scent, which was amazing. It was like wild honey on a hot summer day, with just the slightest hint of vanilla and something else but I couldn't place it... I took another smell, it had to be some sort of flower... it smelt like something that I smelled a long time ago, what was it? .... cherry blossom!

Cherry blossoms, she had a smell like cherry blossoms, that was one of my favorite smells from my Mother's garden, when she had it.

She was so gorgeous but a better word would be stunning. She had very long beautiful hair, it was white with a hint of blonde but there was way more white than blonde in her hair, she also had purple streaks but you could tell they were natural. I have never known anyone that had hair like she had, and it looked like some of her hair was turning light blue... Her hair had a natural wave to it and there was a lot of it, it went well past her waist, there was a part of her hair that looked like it got burned but she had most of it braided and some was coming out, it just made her look even more stunning to me.

Her face was the most stunning feature she had, at least to me. Her eyes were the bluest blue that I have ever seen and she had high cheek bones. Her skin looked very soft and it made me want to touch it with every bone in my body but I didn't want to hurt her any more than she already was.

I mean, I knew she wasn't going to fall apart on me, at least not yet anyway, but I didn't know the extent of her injuries or know how long she had left. I felt myself trying to roar, I could feel Leo pushing at the gates, trying to get out. But I knew that I had to find out what was going on here and find out what I needed to do to help my little mate before it was too late.

I didn't realize that I had let my roar escape past my lips until I saw the look of horror on the man's face, it made me grin. The smell of his fear was over-powering and it made me feel great. Before he could fully do anything, I called upon the power of my stars and I shot them out towards him to hold him in place, it was like ninja stars but they were real and they had a lot of power. I knew he couldn't go anywhere.

I had him pinned up against the tree he was standing by, he started to struggle, trying to get free but he wasn't going anywhere not until I had the answers that I needed. I threw my sun power out toward the two ghostly figures to trap them in the bubble that I made using the sun's power, I didn't want them to go anywhere either.

I called out to Marco, "I want you to take the man back to our home world but first hurt him for hurting my little mate. Talk with the ghostly figures and then let them go. I am going to take, my little mate somewhere safe and we will wait for the all clear."

I didn't even wait to see what he would do. I left him and Jewale and turned back to my mate, just in time too, I reached out and caught her before she could hit the ground.

I felt myself change back to human form and Leo take over for the little time that he would have control left.

He teleported us away from here and to somewhere that was safe for us and our mate.
