Chapter 2: Meeting Arabella

last update Last Updated: 2021-12-31 12:41:21

Hearing the music from miles away, I know precisely where the rave is being held.  It is already in full swing, and I just hope that we have gotten there early enough before the massacre has started.  Driving past the woods, I see the clearing ahead and right away my senses go in overdrive when I smell the Alpha of The Wind Walkers pack, Jordan. 

When I don’t smell blood, I call it a good sign and start to drive as fast as I dare to before arriving at the destination.  The minute I hit the open path, I signal to the others behind me and stop just before the old, abandoned building.  The bright neon lights filter through the cracks in the walls and light up the hood of my truck before I ever get out.

Motioning for the rest to stay put, I signal for Beta Daniel and Beta John to follow me first.  Not knowing where the Wind Walkers are right at that moment, I’m cautious while creeping around in the dark shadows.  As I hear the music’s volume get turned up even louder, I realize that the pack is already inside and is just about to attack.  “Why else would the music become so loud, so fast?” I think to myself before I rush to the entrance and then motion for everyone else to advance.

Leading the way, they all get behind me in a matter of seconds.  Getting ready to pounce the minute I open the door, they stand there looking when I stay still and wait for some signal before going in and taking control.  Glancing at each other with questioning looks on their faces, one of them starts to whisper and then shuts up the second I glare at him angrily.

Not hearing any screaming, I open the door quietly, so I don’t alert anyone to our presence.  Slowly walking into the room, I find that the Wind Walkers pack is circling the humans with murderous intent in their eyes.  As their fangs protrude from their mouths while they wait to attack, my group disperses through the crowd quickly until they are between the humans and the offending pack. 

Having absolutely no idea what is about to take place, the humans keep dancing to the loud music and are completely oblivious to everything.  Standing there ready at the drop of a hat to gain control, I feel something strange as I stare at all the humans bouncing up and down to the music.  There is one girl with brown hair and green eyes, who stands out from all the others. 

Feeling drawn to her, I start to walk over to where she stands.  But in the meantime, Alpha Jordan sneaks up behind me and almost hits me in the head.  I turn just in time to stop him and say quietly so to not scare the humans, “Stop, right now.  I am your king and you had better take heed because if you don’t, you won’t live to see tomorrow.”

Knowing that I mean business, Alpha Jordan backs off for the moment before I walk over to him and say with dangerous intent, “I will rip your throat out if you don’t stop right this instant.” 

The minute that Alpha Jordan sees the golden shade of my eyes, he stands down and collects his pack before leaving quietly.  The whole time this is going on, the humans have no clue what was just about to happen.  So, I am glad that it didn’t turn out badly.  When it is all said and done, I sigh before turning around to talk to the brown-haired girl with green eyes.

Once I feel my wolf is in check, I turn around and scan the room for her.  Not finding her, I watch the crowd move from side to side and the lights flicker onto the dance floor.  All the rest of my pack watches from the shadows for any more problems, as I stand there almost in a trance. 

Still searching through the crowd, I see her for a split second before she is hidden again.  When the lights turn down and the music slows, she emerges like something from a movie I once saw where the woman was a beautiful princess.  The most amazing part is that her face is glowing from where the moonlight is showing through the cracks in the ceiling. 

While I stare at her, she senses me and turns to face me directly.  Then our eyes meet, and I feel something that I don’t have any power over.  A sudden overpowering need. 

Walking over to her carefully so I don’t spook her, I wonder if I can just get her name.  If I do, perhaps I will find out why I am so enchanted by her presence.  But the minute I do, I realize that I am wrong because I stand next to her, and my hands gravitate to hers.  As I stand there speechless, I wonder why this man has power over her.

Finally, I ask her while leaning close to her ear, “May I ask for your name and number?”

She glances up at my face and I would give anything to know what is running through her head at this precise moment.  Her friend walks up behind her and pokes her in the back to get her attention.  She smiles at me and then the green-eyed girl turns around to see what her friend wants before I get my answer.  Feeling put out, I notice Alpha Jordan just outside the door staring back at me. 

Watching him carefully, I return my attention to my green eyed girl and gaze into her beautiful emerald, green eyes.  Her friend raises her voice while sounding sarcastic and says, “I didn’t know you liked old men.”

The green-eyed girl says softly so I can barely hear it, “She is just jealous for once.” And then she turns her attention back to the me before saying sweetly, “My name is Arabella.  If you really want my number, give me your phone and I will type it in for you.”

Waiting for me to hand it to her, she stares at the crowd and then I notice the minute this whole situation starts to register with her.  Her eyes start to scan the crowd and then pick out my group.  She looks out the door at the other pack and then I watch as her eyes turn from happiness to terror.

Knowing that if I don’t curb this now, I will lose her, I hand her my phone and say, “By the way, I am Julian.  It’s nice to meet you.”

When she accepts it without hesitation and types in her number, I quickly check her out while she stares at the phone’s screen and has no clue how much I desire her.  Noticing that she is done and is about to look up, I glance away just in time before she smiles back at me and returns it.  She stares into my eyes and says, “Here, it’s all good to go.  Now you can just click on my name, and it will dial my number.”

I smile at Arabella while thinking, “Tomorrow for sure, I am calling her, and I will have her over for dinner or something.”

Feeling a bit strange lingering, I scan the room for my group and then when I can see them all, I motion for everyone to move out.  As they get in their vehicles, I stare back at the rave and wonder to myself what strange power she has over me and what I am going to do about it.

    Hearing someone yelling in the background, I look over at Alpha Conroy and Beta Dean before scanning the room to investigate. I have been patiently waiting all morning to call Arabella and was just about to, when I heard the commotion begin. Laying my eyes upon Omega Terence and Omega Shelley over by the far wall, I can tell at once that they are in a heated argument and that is where the yelling is coming from. “How dare you! You know that I had my heart set on that, and you just threw it out. Does whatever I feel mean nothing to you?” Shelley stares at Terence with tears in her eyes before stomping off. Noting that there is something terribly wrong, I stand up from my chair and walk over to Terence before whispering so no one else can hear but the two of us, “You need to fix whatever is wrong.” I stare down Terence to make sure he knows that I mean business and then after a few seconds, I take my eyes off him and co

    After I pick her up and she fights me the whole way kicking and screaming, I take her to a room at the end of my hall and lock the door behind me so she can’t get out. This is the hard part. I must decide what to do with her now that she knows what we are. Can I trust her? Or will she go to the other humans and have us all hunted down? I was originally hoping that I could ease her into my confidence and then trust her with our secrets, but this may be all too sudden for her to ever be able to understand. So, as I shake my head in frustration, I sit in my chair and start yelling at Omega Tom because he just may have caused me the one thing, I have ever really desired in all my life. He started the fight between the two others and if he hadn’t, I would be sitting right now at the table eating dinner with her and watching as her eyes roll back in her head from delight. Slamming my fist down suddenly, everyone around me jumps and stare

    “Thud” “Crash” Hearing a loud noise, I walk to her room quickly before taking in a deep breath and cautiously unlocking Arabella’s door with the key. As I open the door, I take stock of everything around me and am painfully obvious of how destructive of a woman she is. The pillows are shredded, the curtains are in piles all along the walls, and the minute I stare into her eyes, she comes running at me full force. “Damn you! You are so” She exclaims before she meets with my chest and is forced to stop in mid-sentence. I glance down at her eyes, before her heated gaze stares up at mine. Raising her closed fists to my chest, she starts to beat on me. Not caring if she hurts me, I let her pound away for a few minutes, till she seems to be all out of anger and then stops and closes her eyes before stating, “You are so cruel, you have to let me go. My parents will be worried, and they will call the cops. My fr

    After leaving her room, I pace the halls for what seems like hours until my stomach starts grumbling. Realizing that she might be hungry too, I decide to bring her up a plate in the shape of a peace offering when I am done eating. Of course, I know damn well that the minute the door opens, she will try to rush out the door.Shaking my head, I think back to when things were a little less complicated. Perhaps I should have just left it alone and let The Wind Walkers massacre them, but then what kind of king would I be? I have never been the one to sit back and watch as someone else takes over. Unfortunately, now I have a bigger problem.As I walk down to the dining room, I think about my next move with Arabella. I know that this is all coming at the wrong time because The Wind Walkers are purposely trying to cause problems for me. Is there Alpha thinking of trying to take over? It is a good possibility, because there is alw

    Just as soon as I close the door, she decides to place the book down on the desk next to her before picking up a glass from earlier in the day and lobbing it at me. “How dare you! I have been stuck in here without anything to eat and I am being treated like a prisoner.” She screams at me with fire in her eyes before picking up anything else she can find to throw at me. Shocked, I watch as she acts like a two-year-old now and flings everything within walking distance at me, even though three seconds earlier she was calm and collected. Dodging expertly, I demand, “Stop! Quit acting like a child.” Pausing, she glares at me only to return to her work of destroying everything in the room. “Wow. Really?” I shake my head and decide to leave because this simply won’t do. The minute I turn around to leave, she stops and then asks in a timid tone, “Would you please stay? I am sorry and I’m really hungry.” The look o

    “You will respect me if it’s the last thing I do! This is my castle and my kingdom so if you want to live you had better stop causing problems and learn to deal with the situation. Now!” I yell at the top of my lungs because Alpha Romero has decided that he wants to try and take over the throne.I watch him, as his eyes grow wide and show the fear that he is feeling right at this very moment. Then I slam my fist down on the table and state, “Leave now before I decide to rip you from limb to limb for your insolence.”He quickly stands to leave and then turns to me briefly before asking with a snide tone to his voice, “Does that apply to your little prisoner upstairs too? Or do we keep pets to play with now?”At that moment, I launch myself towards him and my claws come out. As I reach for him, I rip a huge gash in his arm. When I see blood, my instincts take over and I tear into h

    After several hours of staring at the walls in my room, I decide to try and visit with her again. Perhaps this time she won’t throw things at me. Or things could take a turn for the worse. One never knows with her. As I sit here scratching my neck, I walk to her room before I figure out what to say to her. When I arrive, I unlock it and cautiously enter because it is too quiet. I was wise to hesitate, because over the next few minutes, I am pummeled by a teenager’s fists on my arm and side. This discourages me from doing anything for her. Hell, at this point I don’t even want to see her face. She screams, “I hate you! Everyone must be looking for me and you won’t let me go home. My parent’s probably think I am dead!” Now her face is so red that she looks like she could instantaneously combust. I don’t know how, but she has this tendency of making me so mad that I want to pull her pants down and spank

    The moment I wake up from our little nap, I can sense that she is gone and quickly sit up before looking around the room. Of course, she is nowhere to be found. “Damn it! She tricked me.” I murmur under my breath and then scoot to the edge of the bed. After standing up, I scan the room one last time before hurrying downstairs and collecting the security team. Glancing between them all, I state, “I need to find that trouble making girl quick, if she gets back home and the humans all find out about us, we are dead. Is that understood?” They all look between one another and then nod when they return their attention to me. Realizing that the best thing to do is split up, I tell Beta Tim and Beta Peter that they need to hurry up and go up north through the woods. Beta Connie and Beta Tom head down south to the clearing and Beta Rick ends up going over to the west to the river. I on the other hand, head into town to see

In their suits and dresses, they look like they are ready to take on the world.It’s amazing that just last year they were newborn pups and couldn’t even walk, let alone hold a conversation with an adult.

    Hearing Arabella’s voice and what she said, I briefly turn towards her and then I hear the witch speaking again. As I turn around to face her, I see that she has turned the page and quickly starts speaking another spell. Her lips move like lightning and then I stop her suddenly when I rip out her tongue, by grasping it between my forefinger and thumb.Horrified by this, she cries and tries to scream, but can’t. The whole thing is terrifying to watch and all the people in the room watching gasp before shielding their eyes from the black blood that seeps out of where her tongue was just a moment before. When she finally stops and stares at me, I hurry and tie her back up before rushing over to the pups.On my way to Arabella, I look back and see the warlock trying to stand up. I yell to the guards, “Make sure they stay down, I will be back in a second. I need to make sure that the pups are alright before I continue.&r

    “What is that noise?” I whisper to Arabella before climbing out of bed.It is 3 in the morning and everything else is quiet except for a scratching sound in the wall. Hearing it again, we glance at each other as I walk over to the wall to investigate further. When it stops suddenly, I stand still in hopes of finding what is causing it.The minute it starts again, I rush towards the wall and then thump on it to scare whatever is inside. Then I hear it, the soft scurrying of little feet. “Shit!” I exclaim when I see the mouse run across the floor just below me.Now we must get a mouse trap and see if we can catch it. If we are lucky, it won’t take long, and I don’t have to lie in bed another night with that awful scratching. It is times like these that I really wish I didn’t have inhuman hearing, because every scratch or scurry of little feet, sends chills up and down m

    Lying still in bed, I wait for someone to show up with my eyes closed. Waiting for maybe 2 hours before I hear someone at the door, I am rewarded when the doorknob slowly turns. When the door creaks, I wait patiently until heavy footsteps cross the floor.Suddenly, the footsteps increase in speed and then I open my eyes and turn over. Seeing him lunge at me with his claws out and his golden eyes wider than normal, I recognize Alpha Jason right away, even though it is dark in my room. I move quickly and dodge his attack, only to roll off the bed and onto the floor, before jumping onto my feet.He turns and then in a flash he is in my face again. “How he is faster than I am?” I wonder while he tries to kill me, and then I see the vampire in the door, he must have used Jason to get to me.That is how he is moving so fast. Figuring this out, I inspect his neck as I fight off his lashes. Yes, he

What are you going to do about it?” He stands there awaiting my answer.“Nothing.” I state while shrugging my shoulders and then starting to walk down the stairs to the kitchen.“Stop.” He demands and then I turn around to face him once again.“My king, you must do something, anything. My allegiance is to you and no other. If he takes over, everyone here still loyal to you, will be beheaded and their families will be either banished or the same fate will come of them.” Staring at me with his hand on my

    It’s been several months since that day, and now looking back at it, I realize that I was completely wrong. I should have never touched Kelly or even had that reaction to her at all. Now, I don’t know what to do anymore, because even though Arabella has largely forgiven me, I really do not think she will ever completely.I love her and the pups so much, but I can see it in her eyes. The way she stares at me with longing, I know that she won’t allow herself to do anything about it because of what I have done. This has dominated my thoughts for days, even when I play with the pups and they ask me, “Daddy what’s wrong?” For our kind tend to grow much faster and stronger than humans ever have.They obviously are already talking in simple sentences and learning their alphabet. After all, they are their Daddy’s pups. I smile every time I think about them and their little quirks. “Boy, t

What can I get her that will make her eyes pop out? I need something to awe her and that says I love you so much that you are the only woman in the world.While wracking my brain, Beta Jody walks in and hands me a cup of coffee. “You look like you need it, this morning. How are things going with Ms. Arabella as of late?” She frowns as she says it, because she knows that there is something going on and I won’t say.I shake my head and then state, “Nothing that is of any concern, I just can’t think of the perfect present. I need something that says, I can only love you and no one else.”“What did you do?” She asks suddenly when sitting down on the couch next to me.Her eyes tell it all when a tear forms and t

Now what?As I open the door that faces the stairs, I scan the area before walking out and shutting the door behind me. The commotion seems to be stemming from downstairs, so I rush down the stairs to find Alpha Emery and Alpha Frederic duking it out. Not knowing what the issue is at hand, I stand back and ask, “What is going on?” To Omega Theodore who is standing directly next to me and watching them.He turns to face me and replies, “Alpha Frederic has raped Alpha Emery’s mate and now they are in a fight to see who she will stay with.

    “Do you remember when we first met?” Arabella stares at me as she asks with an angelic look on her face.Immediately before this, I was about to confess to her how I had betrayed her with Omega Kelly, but when she asked me that, it completely threw me off guard. I turn to her and fake a smile, because honestly, the last thing on my mind right now is the first time we met. Instead, all I can think about is how she will hate me when she finds out that I had sex with Kelly. Most of all, there is absolutely no way I can tell her how many times, because then she will know it wasn’t just a mistake.As the guilt builds deep inside, I try my hardest not to yell and state in a moderate tone, “Yes, I do. You were at the rave, where you were almost eaten.” I fake a smile as my head starts to throb.She opens her mouth to speak, and then says, “I remember seeing you for the first time and wondering why the other gu
