He doesn't want me

Chapter 55 - horrifying, gruesome and terrible

The Ball was as extravagant as a ball could be the dancing hall was clustered with twinkling lights that gave the impression of stars, the great chandler made it look like it was raining diamonds,

The golden flowers were blooming with shimerring glitters I clutched Raven's arm that was looped  around mine, under the white fabric that was the bottom of my dress my knees were shaking

This is a place for social lites, elite werewolves who are high ranked and here I am, half blind without my glasses that Al begged me not to wear

I breathed through my mouth trying to even out my stomping heart a lady in a blue flowing dress greeted us and when she saw Alpha Xavier her eyes widened and she ushered us towards a table with much rushed grace

We sat around the white and black clothed table, I eyed Gabriel who looked surprisingly dashing in his tuxedo, I laughed as Cameron tugged on his collar clearly irritated with his grey clean tuxedo

Raven...Raven looked like a knight in a shinning armour ready to save a damsel in distress in white tux his blond hair giving him the golden look of a golden boy who would do right by any girl

And of course there's him...his black tux unbuttoned his tie loose his hair messy, yet he still managed to look like a handsome prince charming right out of a fairy tale that every girl has ever dreamed off

His dark blue orbs a promise of adventure and danger, but still had that collected authority and security assuring you that amidst your adventure together he will keep you safe

His lips graced into a playful smirk, as if he knows a secret and he is dying to whisper it to your ear, I've kissed those lips and remembers the taste of them, like chocolate and strawberries, sweet and addicting

I averted my eyes knowing that I'm letting my mind stray too far, too painful, too much for my already broken heart that is hanging on a thread on the middle of my chest

Alpha Xavier stood up hand in hand with Jenna and together the strolled the dance floor, other followed them and Raven wiggled his eyebrows

"May I have this horrifying  dance to this gruesomely timed song even if we are both terrible dancers?" Raven asked offering his hand out to me

I laughed "Thought you'll never ask" I said jokingly reaching for his hand, as we tripped over each others feet I realized three things:

1)  we really are terrible dancers
2) the dance was truly horrifying
3) the song had gruesome timing

The song was Jealous by Nick Jonas only slower, and as the words rang across the room my heart grew heavier and heavier

"I'm going to kill the D.J" Raven whispered in my ear as he watch Jenna dance with Alpha Xavier, their bodies swaying together in perfect sync

"You and I both" I told Raven as I accidentally stepped on his foot "Damn Ash, you got daggers on that shoes of yours?" Raven asked

"They're called heels and they're Hail's and no as awesome as that would be they do not have daggers" I informed Raven

I bit my lip when Raven stepped on me "Oops not sorry" he said that made me doubt if it was even accidental to begin with

"Mind if I cut in?" A deep voice rumbled behind us as the song ended Alpha Xavier smirked at Raven who reluctantly stepped back

"Not at all" Raven said before walking to Jenna I lowered my gaze to the mahogany floor too afraid that if I look into his eyes I might end up getting lost into the blue of them

Another song started and I felt him take my hand tingles erupted to my every nerve as he guided my hands to his shoulders

My eyes snapped to his and I swallowed loudly as his hands encircled my waist drawing me closer to him, I know this song I thought as the music ripple through my ears

Give me love by Ed sheeran

Give me love like her...

I'm going to butcher the D.J I thought as my heart gave a squeeze of pain I stared at his eyes feeling the rest of everything melt away

My heart jumped happily bouncing around the middle of my chest straining the thread that was holding it together

I stepped on his foot in daze he didn't show any sign of pain but his eyebrow quirked "I'm a bad dancer" I mumbled my face turning crimson

He twirled me before swinging me close to his body dipping me in a series of graceful movement "You're a good dancer, you just need the right partner" he said as he helped me back on my feet

Give a little time to me...

we'll burn this out...

We'll play hide and seek...

To turn this around...

Shivers racked down my body as his hands on my waists tightened ever so slightly "There it is again..." he whispered softly

"What?" I asked wide eyed craning my neck to look at what he was referring to "The blush in your cheeks" he said his finger tips brushing my right cheek lightly

"And the loud beat of your heart" he said his hands trailing from my cheek down to my neck stopping on my collar bone

My breath hitched and my fingers buried on his he shoulders tightly Alpha Xavier closed his eyes for a second the vein on his neck pulsing lightly

Before he removed his hand from my collarbone his eyes snapping open, then he turned away living me on the dance floor starring after him
