Chapter 110

Priest (Aaron) pov

“Why are you acting shocked? You said you wanted to meet me but now you are acting all shocked.” The stranger said and that puzzled me even more.

What was going on?

“Why are you doing this? Why are you still hiding your face!! Stop hiding and show yourself to me if you dare!” I yelled at the lady but she still didn’t step out of the shadow.

“Come out!” I yelled again.

“Why do you want me to come out? I am telling you a fact and you keep yelling.” She said vey calmly and I tried to rush towards her and maybe use that opportunity to pull her out but I wasn’t able to make a step.

“What do you want to do?” She asked and still seemed so calm.

“I want to kill you! But you keep hiding your face so how else am I meant to find you.” I said to her with so much rage but she was still so calm.

“Haha!!! Do you think You would be able to kill me? We are the same powerful breeds of werewolf so how do you expect to kill me? Do you even think I would die so easily…do not worry in tonight’s ball you would meet me and also recognize me, I can’t wait for you to kill me then.” She said confidently and walked deeper into the shadow. I looked at her from head to toe hoping to find something I could use and find her but there was nothing there, she was just so smooth skinned.

“I would find you! That I promise!!!” I yelled at her but she didn’t say anything and suddenly I was back in my room and was breathing heavily…I sat up quickly and looked around and it was still midnight and I was even sweating so much like someone who was having a huge battle with a spiritual force.

I tried to stand up but my leg still felt numb from all the force on it…I had to sit there and think about everything again. Whoever this woman is she is definitely brave and when I mean brave, I mean very brave.

I looked at the clock and it wasn’t even close to the time for the ball and even though I was still feeling sleepy and a bit dizzy, I couldn’t just go to sleep so easily.

For the first time I was scared of what the outcome could become, what if she makes my dream more horrible? Or she makes me numb on the bed and I won’t be able to attend the ball and see who she really is? I thought to myself and after few minutes of waiting, my leg was back to the way it was and I stood up immediately.

I ran a cold bath for myself as I hoped it might calm my nerves. I wore another cloth immediately as i won’t dare repeat the cloth I had just taken off….it was smelling and sweat and mostly fear.

After calming down, it was still not time for the ball so I decided to take a stroll even though I was well aware of the guards who would be at my back, I don’t know what was getting over me and I was getting scared? This wasn’t what I bargained for when I decided to accept Alpha Damien proposal .

As I stepped out, all the guards were beside me and very attentive, I decided to cover my fear and act brave. I chuckled at how they all gathered me like I was going to run away. I knew deep within me that I wasn’t going to run away because I also had plans and wanted to find out who this witch who was taunting me was.

I calmed down and walked down the hallway like I had no guards all around me…I continued down the hallway and when I got the corner that led to the room of the mysterious witch.

I turned to the guards and they didn’t seem to care about the fact that I paused and rhe obvious fact that I was scared. I stared down at my hand and I was shaking but still took the step.

I walked down the corner and towards the room…I stopped and this time the room was closed and no matter how badly I wanted to open the door, I couldn’t do it so I stood there…staring at the mysterious room and wondering who it could be while at the same time I could feel her powerful energy causing pain for me but I wasn’t ready to just hide again and I stood there, holding in the pain.

I decided to ask the guards in hopes that they would reply me and give me a sincere answer, I turned to them and they looked at me a bit puzzled.

I stretched my hands and pointed to the door of the room even though the pain kept getting intense, “who…who owns this room?” I asked as I felt a sharp pain going through my veins and hurting the hell out of me.

The first guard turned to the other like they were giving each other signs and then cleared his throat.

“I am sorry but I can’t tell you that…it’s confidential, the Alpha knows why he would be introducing everyone to you at the ball which is just a ew hours away and I think you should be patient till then.” The guard Said and the other guards nodded and then I knew I had to keep shut.

I smiled awkwardly at them and looked back at the room one more time…who could be so powerful and cause so much pain by just staring at her room?

“And I think we should leave, we gave you the grace of a little stroll.” The guard added and I smiled before turning away and walking back towards my room.

Just then I heard her voice!!

I heard her voice!!

I was sure it was her voice!

I turned back to fast that even the guards seemed puzzled.

But I saw no one and only saw her hair flowing through the doorway and her hand which was clearly making a phone call.

I stared at her hoping she would come out but she stood there and it seemed she wasn’t in the room before so how was her energy able to pull me earlier?

“Priest.” The guard called to me but I was too lost staring at her spotless skin which I had seen in my nightmares and yet the same flowing hair.

“Just one seconds, I need to see her face.” I muttered to them and surprisingly they kept quiet.

I decided to not just stare but instead listen to what she was saying on the phone.

“I don’t want to go to some stupid ball! I don’t know what is so important in meeting his next in command after his beta.” I heard her say on the phone and then chuckled. What!! She wasn’t planning on attending the ball? But she told me

She was going to see me tonight! Was she bailing out? Even if she was going to bail out, I should at least see her face.

I was about to run as I knew she might run in was she sniffed me coming but the guards were quicker as they held both my legs and I was in the air.

“Let go of me.” I whispered in hopes that she won’t hear me.

But the guards still had to answer me with a loud voice. “Sorry but we can’t let you disturb anyone in this palace.” The guard yelled but I could tell they were be very careful to not mention her name.

Just then she paused and I hand held to the door but I couldn’t still recall seeing that hands anywhere, just  as the guards were about to turn me around, she peeped !!! I saw her eyes and it was emerald green.

But something about her eyes pulled me in and made feel something unfamiliar in me as it felt like I was swimming in the beautiful of her eyes.

She was evil that I was sure about but yet why I was I feeling pulled to a stranger? And why wasn’t my visions or power helping in this situation? The guards pulled me away and I didn’t bother to drag as I willingly entered my room and sat, I couldn’t stop seeing her eyes…it kept coming back to me even though I wanted to think of something else.

I sat there for a few minutes and I couldn’t help but smile and after I smiled did I realize I just smiled because of something I had just seen.

I cleaned my face, in hopes that I would stop seeing her but it still kept coming to me..I layed on my bed and stared at the ceiling as I hoped I could drift into sleep but all I saw was the eyes and the flowing hair and then the soothing skin,

At this stage I don’t mind having the nightmares again as it seems to favor me more than this memories.

When I would open my eyes next it was already nighttime and I was woken up by a knock on the door, I couldn’t believe that I and actually fallen asleep. I stood up quickly as some maids walked I walked in with the suit I was meant to wear and other essentials. They bowed at me for the first time and walked away.

I sat still till they all left  and after that I stood up  and took a shower quickly, I can’t believe how many time I had taken my bath jus because I felt dirty or should I say I felt scared.

After the shower, I putted on the suits na I looked like a totally different…I had cleaned up all my excessive beards and I looked different, I loved my new appearance. I checked the clock watch which was included in everything they sent and it was time even without being told I could hear loud voices and banging songs coming from afar and when I opened the window I could already see people being welcomed by the Palace guard’s, I smiled..not bra she I was going to finally get what I want but because I was going to see the lady who had haunted me all through today.

Just then the door swunged open and it was Alpha damien and a lady holding to his hands and from how elegantly she dressed I felt like she was Amelia.

She smiled and I immediately knew she wasn’t the one because Alpha Damien face said it all.

“We need to leave together…this is Lucy, my first and most precious bride.”Alpha Damein said with a straight face.

She rushed towards me for an handshake which I quickly accepted and smiled at her as she smiled at me, as I held to her hand I could sense how weak her inner wolf was, she looked wicked but her inner wolf was too weak.

“Let’s go then.”Alpha Damein said, bringing me back to reality as I let go of her and nodded and we then walked out together and the guards seemed to be a bit distant but still followed us…the walk down the hallway was quiet but I couldn’t help but still think of that lady which I knew nothing about.

We soon got closer and closer to the room and just  as we passed I felt the energy so strong, she must be inside there.

We got to the ball and everyone was surprised to see a new face as I joined alpha Damien at the high table…while I tried to find the emerald green eye that was trying to taunt my life.

She wasn’t here yet, she needs to come….

Why hasn’t she arrived??!!!

I continued to stare around not caring much about the people greeting me as all I wanted was to see this woman who had challenged me and mostly she had the guts to challenge me to kill her.

Just then it was time for all the brides to Come in…the first woman entered  and I had seen her before she was lucy, I faked a smile as she bowed and took her seat. And then the other six of them introduced themselves and none of them was named Amelia, I turned to the alpha in confusion.

“Where is your Luna?” I asked and he smiled before also looking around.

“She is always late to functions, she must be having a little gossip session with lady rosa.” Alpha Damein said and I smile before looking back at the crowd in hopes of seeing the lady I was waiting so earnestly for.

Just then I got realize something, what if one if the two women he mentioned was the lady taunting me? That made me sacred even more tha before. I had always had visions but now I just got to put two and two together.

In all my visions….

I had never seen Amelia before and even when I got to have a vision centered around her, I only saw she back…just then my eyes queen in realization, she could actually be the woman who shares the same power as I do.

Just then lady rosa according to her uniform tag and a guard walked in and bowed.

“The Luna is coming in.” Lady rosa announced and everyone stood up in respects me even I had to stand up…even though I wasn’t just standing because I had to buy because I had to. I needed to see her face before anyone but something weird was happening, it felt like everything was slow and when I turned to alpha Damein he was staring in confusion…clearly he was surprised as to why I was acting weirdly because his Luna was about to walk in.

Just then I saw her foot and then her glowing red gown with a touch of black and her smooth skin and at that exact moment my while breath began to choke in and I felt my powers draining, she was the one!!! My nemesis was the same woman I had to protect for the king!!

How could this possibly be happening?

Her head was still bowed as she walked in and stood in front of us all and I had to take my seat in hopes no one would notice how she was draining me from the far distance. I became too impatient as all I wanted was for her to open her face for me to see and know what she looks like and why her eyes kept calling me in such a weird way.

“My king…at your service.” She muttered and it was the same voice which made me smile instead of being terrified.

Slowly….slowly she raised her head up  and she was too good to be true, I gasped while holding tightly to my mouth…she was killing my soul as our eyes met but her enchanting eyes kept calling me and I swear I couldn’t underwhat was going on.

She was too indentical with…..

Ashina!!!! She was a striking resemblance with this woman who had been dead for over two decades, she. Was till drawing my would but I couldn’t help but keep staring as she wa too mesmerizing and her beauty wa sister unbelievable, I couldn’t believe someone like this actually lives….but she didn’t seem as dangerous as she was in my dreams.

Was she just putting up an act or this as how she really was? She smiled at me and something which had never happened to me suddenly happened and I felt my blood boiling in happiness and fright at the same time.

Why was my heart jumping in happiness just because she smiled but then I noticed she wasn’t staring at me but instead someone else, when I turned back and it was luther who was walking in with a frown on his face as he didn’t even seem to notice Amelia smiling at himself don wth I turned to check if alpha Damien was seeing all this, our eyes met and he seemed a bit unpleased…he must have noticed how I stared at Amelia and wasn’t pleased with it but I could swear to him that I wasn’t doing this intentionally, she was the one pulling me in and I was really trying all my best not to fall for her.

She wa too beautiful to just be living amoungst us, now I know why both father and son were inlove with the same woman, she was too good to be true.

Our eyes soon met and i almost peed in my pant due to how scared i was, I couldn’t even differentiate what exactly I felt..her beauty was too much to not love her and she kept reminding me of a woman who one else caused a huge way in this kingdom and at the same time she was scaring me and sipping out of my soul with her eyes.

She smiled at me but tagt didn’t stop her from staring deep into my eyes.

“Aaron.” I heard from inside..she was staring back at me very innocently while her inner wolf was taking to me, what kind of woman was she?

“Stop pretending and hiding your real self.” I said to her through my wolf.

“aren’t you finally happy? After all we have already met, I can’t believe you share the same power as I do and you are this weak.” Her wolf said which got on my nerves, was she trying to say she was more powerful than I was?

“Stop this, I know you are very aware of what you are doing.” I said to her wolf but she chuckled.

“Amelia and Leah are two different people, she owns the body, I own the soul…she doesn’t know of her potential yet.” Amelia was a vessel!?
