Chapter 6 - An invisible mystic dark energy

Cassandra’s point of view:

I watched as he ran a hand into his wet sleek hair.

He appeared phenomenal.

I literally stopped breathing when his nose twitched. He could sense my presence and smell my scent. Shit! For a moment, I panicked as I realized that I had been shamelessly goggling at him.

Still, before he could come seek me out, I stepped out of the bushes.

A frown was etched on his forehead once his eyes locked with mine.

I smiled at him before mumbling quietly, “Thank you for saving me.”

Even though my words sounded indistinctly to my own ears, he heard me.

The creases on his forehead vanished, and understanding crossed his face.

“I didn’t do that for you. I was just trying to keep my pack in line.” He said grimly, sounding indifferent, almost apathetic.

Okay, that hurt! I couldn’t tell why but I was hurt by his words. It didn’t help when Sierra howled in agony from the back of my mind.

‘What’s wrong with us?’ I asked my wolf.

‘I don’t know.’ Sierra replied, shifting in unease.

‘Why do we feel like this around Alpha Dalton?’ I asked in anguish.

Even though Alpha Dalton’s words were hurtful, I stayed put. I still wanted to be here with him.

It felt as if my heart and my mind were no longer willing to cooperate with me.

Feeling his eyes on me, I slowly nodded before meekly asking, “Can you teach me some racing techniques?”

Dalton agreed with a shrug, “Sure.”

I was momentarily stunned that he had instantly agreed to teach me. I couldn’t help but smile when Sierra yipped with glee.

“For that, we’ll have to shift.” Alpha Dalton jutted his chin towards a nearby large tree.

I understood what he was hinting at when he exchanged a look with me. With a nod, I stepped back before turning around and heading towards the tree.

Once I was out of his sight, I undressed myself using the tree as a cover.

My heart raced in anticipation while my wolf ached to be free.

Sierra could not wait to be running in the woods. She wanted to feel the earthy soil underneath her feet and to smell that sweet forest morning scent full of nature.

Letting my wolf instincts kicked in, I felt my senses heightened.

Everything else faded away. My sole focus was on taking in the earthy air blowing with the wind, becoming one with the smell, noise and blissful nature aura.

My heart pounded when I felt the soil underneath my feet. I knelt down on all fours and let Sierra gain complete control. I felt my bones snap while adjusting to that of my wolf’s.

I breathed in when I felt my fingers and toes elongate into claws and dig into the soiled ground. I released the tension in my jaw when I felt it widen while my skin tingled as my fur extended.

When I walked out from behind the tree, Sierra stilled the moment we caught Alpha Dalton staring at us from the distance. He was already in his wolf form.

‘What’s wrong?’ I asked Sierra when she refused to close the distance between the Alpha and us.

Sierra’s response was quick, ‘Something is wrong!’ But before I could do or say anything about it, I felt a strong pull forcing both Sierra and I to approach Alpha Dalton.

At this point, everything that happened next was oddly weird.

Sierra and I wasn’t the ones feeling this pull. It seemed like Alpha Dalton was feeling the pull as well. It was as if our wolves were madly attracted to one another, more so than we were. And, everything appeared blurry. It promptly got hard to focus on our own thoughts.

We couldn’t differentiate between right and wrong. It was all blurry.

I couldn’t avoid the sudden temptation and neared Alpha Dalton first.

Through Sierra’s eyes, I watched as Alpha Dalton’s eyes filled up with confusion, and a slight longing which was unmistakably apparent. He couldn’t figure out what was happening too but he was trying to fight it.

Still, like me, he could neither fight it nor his wolf.

Driven by his desire, Alpha Dalton flung forward and pressed me to the ground.

I went down with a brute force but I didn’t feel my body meeting the hard surface.

I was totally blinded by the temptation. It was surreal.

It was unbelievable to go through what was going on right now but it was happening.

Considering the way my wolf got so enticed to the point where she completely surrendered herself to Alpha Dalton, was frightening.

Yet, I was strangely tempted by Alpha Dalton. I unreservedly bared myself to him.

Both my wolf and I was entirely powerless in front of this invisible mystic dark energy that had us wrapped in an uncanny bubble. It felt like we were one with it and no longer one with the real world.

I glanced at Alpha Dalton when he paused and shifted back into his human form. He just stared right into my eyes with his arms holding himself up beside my body.

His chest was millimeters away from touching mine.

I tried to breathe evenly to prevent my breasts from touching his bare chest but alas!

If anything, my labored breath got worse with the way my heart was frantically pounding.

I bet Alpha Dalton could hear and even feel it.

A flicker of struggling flashed through his eyes.

In spite of trying to restrain myself, I took the initiative to hold his neck.

Alpha Dalton leaned closer to my neck. When his lips faintly brushed against my left ear, I closed my eyes with a sigh of relief. He took a deep breath of my scent and suddenly lost control.

He molded my lips with his and kissed me fiercely. My arms around the back of his neck tightened as he firmly yet smoothly and gently wrapped his arms around my waist, holding me impossibly closer to him.

I felt myself getting so lost in this passion that I couldn’t think about anything else but him. His lips, his scent, his touch, his firm hands and soft skin!

Just when he trailed several tiny kisses down the side of my neck, he shoved me aside.

I cried out in pain when my head knocked against the ground.

I got up bewildered and neared him, “What… what just happened?”

I flinched back in shock and fear when he snapped at me, “Stay away from me!”

“But -” I started but froze when he turned around, facing me.

“What part of stay away from me don’t you understand? Get lost!” He growled out.

A darkness filled his eyes, and a heaviness pulled at his mouth.
