¤MICHELLE¤
I woke up with a start when I heard someone coming. Now remembering I've fallen asleep in the woods, I was surprised I wasn't even the slightest bit afraid. I woke up on alert and even now my guard hasn't dropped.
Being as silent as possible, I stood to my full height. I couldn't be on the ground if I were to get attacked, that would be an advantage to my opponent, and that's something I don't want. Still being just as silent, I walked to my left, toward a hoard of bushes that could possibly give me cover and give me a little bit of time for the element of surprise, if even by fragments of seconds. By my hearing, they are probably about five meters away and I only hear two feet. Which eliminates the possibility of another attack by werewolf. But that doesn't mean the person isn't a werewolf and he, I've figured it's a he by the pressure of his steps, can just as easily shift and attack.
I stayed still, crouched down ready to pounce at any time if necessary. My was coming closer and as soon as he came into view, it was like cold water was thrown on me. I blinked a couple of times. I can't believe what happened. In the back of my mind, I felt the smugness of Shelly but I couldn't concentrate on that now. I had to concentrate on how I had acted so... so... I don't know. When I heard someone near, instinct took over. It wasn't human instinct but animalistic instinct and that couldn't be possible. I'm sure, no positive, that I had complete control over myself. Shelly wasn't in control or even part control, so there was no logical explanation at why I had acted and felt like Shelly had, fighting the rogues. It felt so instinctual and right. And I also felt excited, just thinking about a fight.
The so called 'enemy' stood still, his face full of confusion as he began spinning in circles, looking more and more confused. A giggle slipped from my lips, I couldn't help but laugh at his confused and frustrated face. As soon as he heard it, his body tensed and he turned in the direction that it came from. I decided to mess with him and I was already slowly moving my way to his right. I was surprised at how he couldn't hear me moving. He was Alpha and he has strong Alpha genes. His senses are more acute than most wolfs. But I wasn't complaining.
He walked to where I had been and moved the bushes, probably expecting to see me. I decided to sneak up behind him. I gently and lightly walked up to him and stayed behind him. When he turned around, I expected him to jump back startled but he instead jumped forward. His hand quickly clasped around my neck and lifting me a foot off the ground. It had happened so fast, my eyes and head needed time to adjust to what had happened. But as my eyes adjusted I was quickly put to the ground and crushed against something hard. He had put me down and hugged me, apologizing. His words were muffled by my neck that he was snuggling. But he didn't have to apologize, I knew I had startled him and instead of acting afraid as I thought, he acted on instinct like an Alpha should. I understood that. Especially when I had almost attacked him as well.
His voice sounded so broken and it was full of regret. I hugged him and rubbed his back, trying to tell him that I was fine and it was okay.
I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the lake and we sat down. I let him keep hold of my hand as we sat in silence. I could tell we were in our own little world.
This man beside me wants me as his mate. Even after knowing this for a fact, I still doubted it. I knew now was the time to talk about it. I just couldn't bring myself to bring up the conversation. I hate to admit it but I was afraid of him denying it. This man has undoubtedly wormed his way into my heart. He showed me he wasn't the person I thought he was. I had thought he was an asshole that sleeps with tons of girls. A selfish, ego-maniac, soon-to-be Alpha.
I feel like we've spent a long time getting to know each other but it took less than a week for me to care so deeply for him. I would even go as far as to say that I like him. He showed me how gentle and compassionate he was. I know he didn't have to talk to me and ruin his reputation and popularity. Nobody liked me and I was okay with being a loner. But now.. now I know I won't be happy without him. I know I may have a mate waiting to find me but for all I know he could be dead. A dull pain pierced my heart just at the thought.
No. I wanted to be with James. He means so much to me that I can't lose him and won't leave him willingly.
"I've always loved this lake", he said softly, looking at the clear sparkly blue-green water. "I used to always come here as a kid" I looked at the lake imagining James as a small kid playing in the water. The thought made me smile. It must have been nice growing up in a beautiful forest like this. The water was so clear you can see the many many colorful little pebbles at the bottom. There was three small fish. Each swimming gently around the lake, obviously loving the peacefulness as well.
"Is it true?", I asked, not taking my eyes off the movement of the fish. I hoped he understood what it was that I was trying to ask. I couldn't finish the rest of my sentence. I know if I did, my voice would fill with emotion I was trying to disguise.
"Yes" He finally looked at me and the sun shone on his face. His brown eyes brightened and it was like I was looking into his heart. His eyes held so much emotion. He looked calm yet nervous.His eyes told me he was anxious. I knew why too. He was afraid of what I might say to his proposal of being his mate and running by his side as Luna. "You're perfect. You're so beautiful yet you don't flaunt it. You're brave and strong. You have a mean sense of humor and I love it. You act shy and lonely when I know you don't want to be alone. I want to be by your side as much as I want you by my side. When I think of you gone, it hurts. I know I've only known you for a week but that week told me how much I love you. Michelle, I love you. Will you be my mate and Luna?"
While he spoke, tears blurred my vision but through my tears I could still see his beautiful eyes that shown with truth and love. While he was talking, he turned and now held both my hands in his large ones. His was perfect yet imperfect and that was perfect in my eyes. He had laid himself out and was now waiting for my answer. He looked so vulnerable. His eyes practically begging me not to turn him down. To not give him a rejection. One I wouldn't give regardless. How could I when I knew he meant so much to me already. Although I don't love him, I'm sure I will eventually.
