Forever My Alpha

20

Suddenly I was in the air. The fireworks at my side sparkling down to the earth below. Elijah's wings spread out holding us in the sky.

"We still need to talk. I haven't fully forgiven you yet." I clipped out seeing a smile pull on his lips.

"We have all the time in the world and privacy up here." He breathed pulling me closer till his nose was against my neck, his lips brushing against his mark tenderly making me sigh in content. Heat burned under his lips shivering down my spine, a need to be skin to skin was almost overpowering to my mind. But thankfully I wasn't to lost in the sparks that corset threw my skin to forget why we had been apart for so long.

"Why didn't you tell me." I started feeling him pull back looking deep into my eyes as he replied, feeling him slowly descend to an open balcony at the top of the mansion.

"We are about to go to war with another pack of wolves that are what we call rogues. They are wolves that either were kicked out of there pack for crimes or went against there Alpha. For some reason they are following who we call the Disgraced Alpha now. One that has had it out for my land for years but my pack and I have always won against him. But this time... It's different. He has an army of wolves he's been building up till they are strong enough to attack. I was afraid to get you involved and harmed but it looks like that happened anyways with word getting out I had a mate. Even more so some knowing your human." He explained cuddling my cheek gently with his large hand that I had missed the feel of against my skin.

"That doesn't exactly explain why I need to be in the dark and why you didn't tell me to begin with." I retorted pulling from his touch as pain filtered across his expression in the moonlight.

So handsome seeing his hair had become longer and unruly with more of a curl brushing the top of his shoulders. His form still so dominant over mine in a perfectly tailor tux looking more a Prince with the sash across his broad chest and white gold crown with a crescent moon's points up to the starry night. It was a wonder how I went so long without him. The feeling of magnets being pulled together between us when I walked into the ballroom. The awareness of his presence instant before I had ever seen him. It was a sensation that flared a wild fire the moment he intervene in the dance with Grayson. Thrilling and terrifying by the look he had so hard but burning over my body feeling naked before him and then we touched. 

Just the light press of his palm against mine had my heart beat in overtime by the sharp connection of tingling pins that assaulted my flesh. A wave of emotions crashed over me that I couldn't stop if I tried having even noticed my barrier had been let go the moment we had locked eyes. The connection overly natural to give into and embrace at the same time it was overwhelming feeling. I would have passed out if I could have broken from his piercing eyes that I never wanted to look away from.

And then it was broken when the music slowed to its end as reality came back like a bucket of ice water. I wasn't prepared for the emotions that had just overtook me. It was mind numbing pleasure to just fall into his arms without a care and never let go. But my fear won out on if he would or still was lying to me, to deceive me again. So without a second thought I ran.

The room suddenly suffocating bolting for the door thankful to find the garden till I was at the fountain. The cool water on my hand was refreshing to calm my heated nerves basking in the moon's rays that felt peaceful soaking up the feeling to clear my mind. But that had only lasted for a few moments when the burn of Elijah's mark and a presence wanting into my mind pressed against me.

It was a feeling I was all to aware of and unsure what to do at the same time. Dimitris words surfacing to my mind to relax and think metaphorically of letting the pressure break threw into my mind. I did just that picturing where I was at to let Elijah find me. It was another thing I would have to get used to and understand. Having the ability to let someone into my mind and be able to communicate with the person mentally. It was called mind link that all shifters could do to talk when in there beast form. He also explained that mates have a stronger connection and could even filter emotions into the link and images.
