Angel Wings

Chapter 1

Xavier Black's POV:

I was running through the woods, my wolf slowing starting to cool down. Stupid Beta. Nobody speaks such things of my mate. I may not have found her yet, but I will not tolerate my Beta claiming that she's dead. I won't! I've been searching her for four years, ever since I was sixteen.
I slowed down to a trot as I smelled the most amazing smell I've ever smelled in my whole life. My wolf goes into a state of insanity.
'Mate' he shouts.
I picked up my pace again until I saw a girl about five feet, maybe a little shorter. She had beautiful blonde hair that reached her mid-back and curled at the end. She was wearing a pure white dress that had tiny pearls intricately woven throughout the silky fabric. I love how tiny she is. Her being so small is perfect for me. I love that she's a foot and six or seven inches shorter than I am. It makes me feel like I need to protect her more than I already do.
She continued to float across the clearing until she stopped at a tree and sat down. I had to suppress a growl, hating that my little princess was sitting on the dirty ground. Nothing should ever dirty her. I want to whisk her away in my arms and coop her up in the castle so she will be safe, warm, and well cared for. Not a single speck of dirty will be seen on her body, for she will be weighted on hand and foot. I'll look out for her. I'll take care of her.
A tiny bunny hopped across the grass, towards my little princess. It stopped right in front of her. The hairs on my back went up, not wanting the bunny to frighten my little mate and scare her away. My little mate has this golden glow around her, displaying her pure innocence to the world. I can tell she doesn't know about a lot of things in our world and she hasn't been out of her house a lot. Because of this, the bunny could easily scare her. But now that I'm thinking about it, why is she out here all alone? My wolf starts to get angry, not liking that our little princess would be out here, vulnerable and unprotected if we weren't here to keep her safe from any harm. He started to push against my boundary wanting to take over and scoop our angel into our arms and take her home with us, when we heard and adorable giggle.
I whipped my head back to my little princess seeing her look at the bunny. I could now see her face perfectly. She had light blue eyes, the pristine color of innocence. She had beautiful lips that I wanted to kiss so badly. And then she had the most adorable button nose with a beautiful pink blush go over her nose. That blush clashed wonderfully with her milky, beige skin.
My little princess giggled again and picked up the bunny setting it on her lap. She started to pet it and the bunny struggled up closer to her. I want to be where she is and have my little princess snuggle up against me. I sat down on my hind legs, since I'm in wolf form and continued to watch my little angel pet the bunny.
"Aurora!" a male voice shouted. I immediately stood up, itching to run to my mate and protect her from this threat.
"Aurora!" he shouted again. My little princess put the bunny onto the grass and coaxed it to run along. A man then ran into view towards my little angel. She stood up and looked at the man. He had on a shirt and shorts, so he clearly wasn't in his wolf form previously. I can smell that he is an alpha, or alpha to be, for his scent possesses less power and dominance than mine.
"Aurora, why did you leave the house?!" he shouted. "Everyone was looking for you. Mom and Dad were panicked all day! Why would you leave the house? You know how dangerous it is out here!" I clenched my jaw to keep myself from growling. I didn't like that this man, who I now know is her brother, is talking to her in that tone. She should only be spoken to in the most gentle, loving tone. And the only person who will be talking to her is myself, her immediately family when I approve for them to visit her, and specific females I will allow her to be with.
My little princess then ran into his arms and started crying. I couldn't help the growl that left my mouth. How dare he make her cry! I want to stomp over there, punch her brother, beating him up for making her cry, and then scoop Aurora up into my arms and comfort her and assure her that everything is okay.
Her brother looks over in my direction and pulled MY Aurora closer into his chest.
"I'm sorry, Tanner. I... I just... I just wanted to be outside. I didn't mean to worry everyone," she whispered. Her voice was so soft and delicate. It was smooth like honey and sweeter than sugar.
"Oh, little one, please don't cry. I'm so sorry. Being out here must be so overwhelming for you. Let's get you back home, safe and sound," he said. She nodded her head against the bottom of his chest for she is too short to reach his chest. Her head will be on my stomach rather than on my chest when I have her in my arms on the rare occasion that she will have her feet on the ground. Whenever she is in my arms, she will be IN my arms, not on the floor with my arms around her. I then noticed that the man is carrying Aurora away. I let out a growl and started to follow him. He picked up his pace after he heard my growl.
After about fifteen minutes of walking, Tanner had made it to a measly mansion. I scoffed in my head. My little angel deserves the beautiful castle that is our home, not this pitiful mansion. It's so small and dull.
Tanner opened the door of his mansion and walked inside with my little Aurora. I turned back into the forest and shifted into my human form, putting on sweats and a shirt. I needed to get my little princess, but I need to figure out how.
