A Whole New World

chapter 9

What do you want then?" I whispered lightly looking in his eyes helplessly. I seriously don't understand what he wants!

I looked at him waiting for his answer, he is confusing me. On one side he says that he doesn't want me and when I want to leave he would also not let me leave either. I think he is bipolar or something!

He only looked in my eyes, there was tornado of emotions in them which I couldn't decipher. It seems like he was in an internal battle maybe he is talking to his wolf. Cassandra told me that they can communicate with their wolf and the wolf is much more protective of their mates than the man.

Then he shut his eyes and my eyes were still on his scar,  I don't know why but everytime I look at him my gaze swept to that mark. Its not to make him feel bad but I feel like it's a sign that he is a survivor. He is handsome but that scar that is something else it attract me more towards him. He squirmed a little when he sensed my gaze on his scar and grabbed my elbow as he pulled me with him.

Wherever we go everyone was looking at us but one look from him and they would all look away. He has so much power and authority radiating of him that for a second I also feel like bowing to him but somthing in me won't let me. It would tell me that I am not below him. He makes his way towards number of hallways and stairs as we finally reached his wing. As he stopped infront of his door I tried to move away from him. I don't want to go inside and be caged again.

"Please" I whispered sadly looking down on the ground trying not to show my begging face. I heard him sigh as if he also doesn't like doing what's he doing.

"I feel alone in there" I said and this time I looked in his eyes. I really don't want to stay there because the only thoughts I have there are of my family and how they all have left me behind to look out for myself.

"I don't have a choice" he said firmly but his eyes soften a little. I looked away from him feeling disappointed. I feel like I shouldn't have come here and found him. I shouldn't have...

"Don't" a loud growl came out of him and I shuddered in fear. It was so scary and frightening that I felt like he would hurt me. I looked in his eyes they darken, the gold color in them brightening. But what I didn't understand was why is he angry.

"I would never hurt you... I could not!" He said as a matter of fact and my tense muscles eased a little but wait how did he know that I am scared that he could hurt me...

He pulled me inside and closed the door behind us as he took me towards the small kitchen in his wing. He sat me down on a stool by the counter as he walked towards the fridge. He fished out some food and placed it infront of me.

"Eat" he ordered and looked at me as if ordering me to finish it.

"I am not hungry" I said looking away not wanting to be caught lying.

"Don't lie to me" he growled lightly, I flinched a little at that animalistic voice. But he is an animal that shouldn't be a surprise right!

"Alpha please tell me what do you want from me. I know you don't want me as a mate then why would you not let me leave then" I asked a little hurt and frustrated.

I already feel so unwanted and useless, nobody wants me maybe I am not good enough. I just don't want to be reminded again and again that I am not wanted.. it hurts! I looked down at my hands, my tears on brink of falling down my cheeks.

He groaned loudly as he turn his back towards me. I glanced at his back as his face turned away from me.

"It's me.." He said but stopped, there was a little sadness in his voice.

"You are perfect maybe too perfect for someone like me.." my heart flutters at his words.
"you are beautiful and I...I am an Alpha King, I have duties to take care of my people. I wanted a strong mate who would stand beside me when I fought my enemies and now that I have found my mate ..." He stopped and exhaled heavily as if it takes a lot for him to open up to me.

"I am sorry I am not what you imagined your mate to be" I said genuinely sorry. He is right he is an Alpha king the most powerful creature in this realm and by the stories that Cassandra told me of the Vampire King and his evil ways. He deserves a powerful mate along side him who would stood by his side and fight against there enemies not someone like me who would need protection.

"No it's not that... I am... " He paused not knowing what to say as he turn towards me. His face stoic as he moved towards me. He only stopped when he was infront of me. He caress my cheek with the back of his fingers and sighed a little. I felt tingles where he touched me and I have never felt something like that ever before. His touch is so gentle...so soothing I closed my eyes in ecstasy.

"You are something beyond my imagination.... it's just..." He stepped away as he cursed lightly.

"Please don't come out of this place... it's a request" he took a deep breath as he turned towards the door. Before leaving he gave me a one lingering look and motioned towards the food. There was such softness in his action that I couldn't deny him so I nodded lightly.

When he left, my eyes stayed at the door from where he just left. His presence has so much effect on me I feel like I am at peace. Why does he have so much effect on me? Is it because of the mate bond? And how can he read me so well...I gasped when I remembered what Cassandra told me about mates. They can hear each other thoughts.

"Oh God" I murmured as I recalled how I was fangirling over him in my mind and all those doubts in my mind now I understand his reactions. I hid my face with both hands as I felt embarassed. I have to ask her how to avoid letting him hear my thoughts. But how come I don't hear his thoughts? It might be because I am human! Yeah that's the only reason I can think of.

I never thought being a human would make me feel so bad. I feel like I should have some powers to be worthy of him but I think that's not the case and will ever be.

But wait my grandma has some sort of power, Cassandra told me that only someone from this magical world can open the portals does that mean my Family was a part of this world and does that mean I am also some ... magical creature. But how would I know it grandma told me to not tell anyone about her but then how would I find whether I have some powers or not. I have to talk to someone about that. I have to know!
