The Alpha s Witch

She was running. Aurora was running out of time, running out of patience. She fought against the urge to release her claws.

“I want you now.” She moaned huskily, unable to take it anymore. He laughed and swayed her head to the other side. He teased his lips on the mark he had left there earlier on. They were laying on a queen sized bed in a room. The room was simple, a small wooden book shelf filled to the brim was near the door. The walls was built burnt mud which gave it a natural beauty while the door was pitch black. In the corner of the room was a queen sized bed that held a mound of covers. That mound of covers was in fact the impatient Aurora, lying next to her mate, Derek.

“You are mine.” He said, looking directly into her eyes. His brown almond shaped eyes sparkled.

“I am yours.” She said, nodding in affirmation. The wolf in her leaped in joy.

The image of the ceremony earlier crossed her mind. She smiled to herself, letting herself get lost in the memories.

The crowd was dense but he stood out. He was taller than most of the spectators and looked elegant in his neatly woven blue robe. He had a long face with prominent cheek bones, topped with brown, slanted and hooded eyes. Slightly plump mouth with a perfect archbow on the top of the lip; straight nose and procelain-like shade of skin. His skin was smooth as it shone brightly under the moon light.

His eyes beamed as he scanned the gathering. His hair was neatly packed in a ponytail which dropped slightly above his waist. His full succulent lips were deep pink. He walked slowly, making everybody catch a glimpse of him in his elegance. She smiled to herself, admiring him. Walking down the aisle with her mate was a dream come true for her, not excluding the fact that she would have walked down the aisle with the prince even if he was not her mate.

“You are nervous.” Derek breathed against her ear, the air coming from his mouth brushing against her skin and sending chills down her spine. “You will be fine. I'm right beside you.” He added in assurance. He held her hands gently as they walked side by side.

“It won't hurt you.” He said immediately they got to the center of the field. Not like he cared. The field center was where the two lands meet, the Blood Moon pack and the Scorpion Zeal pack. He held her waist gently and bent her neck to the right side. She gasped, holding her breath as he led his canines into her skin. He wiped her bleeding neck with his left hand and raised it slightly above his head.

"With my fangs, I will put my mark on you!" He started, his hands still raised and his head, slightly bent backwards. A loud crashing thunder hit the sky, causing the children flinch and run to their mothers for safety. The crowd clapped their hands in joy and cheered. It was the most important part of the mating process, everyone looks forward too.

She searched the gathering for her best friend, Miranda. Her eyes met hers and she gave her a wink. She was lucky to be mated to someone else by the moon goddess after so long. She had promised herself to make to make her relationship with the prince work. The marking was so important to her. She tightened her fist and bit her lower lips.

"With my hands, from the storm I'll shield you" he said, and was about to continue when a lighting flashed across the sky with the thunders trailing behind it.

"With my mouth, with love I will shower you" he ended. He turned to Aurora and sealed the bond with a light kiss. Just like a church Wedding, the initial marking would be sealed with a kiss before the final marking which would be sealed in the bedroom. The crowd cheered again. The noise was mostly coming from the right hand side while those on the left hand side did nothing, nor did they cheer or clap. The people of the Scorpion Zeal clan were glad. The people of the Blood Moon Pack looked like they were forced to come. Trying so hard to hide the fact that they were against the Wedding. The two Clans were not on good terms and it was obvious in their cheers. She held his hand and smiled.

When she held his hand, her eyes steeling glances occasionally, she thought why he wasn't showing much reaction. She could feel the bond, strong and overwhelming. It took her a lot of a effort to keep herself from jumping into his arm.

The mating comes first than his lack of interest.

However, why wasn't he showing much reaction that he felt the bond too…?

The knock on the wooden door interrupted her thoughts.

“Master Derek, Alpha Darren wants to see you.” The voice of a messenger was heard.

“Alright. I will be right there.” He replied. He kissed her forehead and assured her was going to be back soon.

*****

“Why did you mark her?” Darren asked immediately Derek entered the room. He was the Alpha of the Scorpion Zeal pack and also a Father to Derek.

The room they were in was large enough to be divided into five places. A large throne was resting against the wall and a queen-sized bed was right beside it. Darren's eyes fumed with anger, his fists clenched as he gritted his teeth.
