me. Please I can't do this by myself. I need you by my side, Angel. Come with me." His voice is only a whisper, but I hear every word he said. Every crack his voice made, every strain. He is weak, soft, and lovely. Raw emotions lead him, and they are love and need. I can't help but want to make him happy, make him see me say "yes," but deep down inside, I am scared. I am lonely. I am a coward

"I can't ... I just... I'm scared." Tears begin filling my eyes, blurring my vision .

"Shh... Angel, I'm here. I'm right here, and no matter what, I will be here. You don't have to be scared. You don't have to be brave, you just have to say yes and I will protect you. I will be your knight in shining armor, your prince charming. I shall never let a single tear fall from those green eyes. Please...just say yes." He holds me so tightly that I can't say anything anymore. I just nod my head and relax under his firm hold. "Okay then. We will leave tomorrow. Now just get some rest and I will have Lucy pack your things do you want me to stay or shall I go" he said letting me go

"I want you to stay with me." I hold him and lay down. He puts his arms around me and I fall asleep in his embrace again. Tomorrow everything will change. Tomorrow I will leave this place... 

 

Chapter Two: Lost but now found

 

~Erick~

We arrive at my kingdom at dawn, and she even brought Nartiko with her. The cat was so annoying! It kept meowing the entire trip here... and it started to smell. I had some maids come and take care of him and set up a play room just for him so she and I could be alone for a bit. But no, she wanted to stay in a different room, far from where I stayed. She told me that if I came in the middle of the night, she would have me hanged!

I mean, seriously! After I claimed my love to her, I said it to her! Why... just why won't she love me? Why won't she come to understand? We were made for each other. We need each other. I just don't get it. She doesn't understand how I need to hold her, to smell her, to touch her... I need to make her mine, and fast, before her heart goes to someone else! We need to imprint right now. Even though she is far away, I can still smell her soft silky hair. Roses and lavender. It's so amazing. It fills my soul. Why, why did I even tell her "I can wait till she falls in love with me?" Because deep down, I can't I just can't take that chance of her belonging to someone else, being in someone else's embrace!

I feel deep vibrations in my chest and realize I've just growled. Whoa! I'm letting my inner animal out! That's not like me! I'm never this territorial! I have had many women in the past, but none have seemed to make me this crazy... by just their scent, maybe. I should go to her room tonight. I should just see if she needs any help relaxing after that long journey. Maybe she will change her mind and tell me she can't wait. Maybe, just maybe she will love me back! I mean, isn't that what girls do? They always change their minds. I sit in my room for a few minutes, debating whether or not I should go see her. But the beast inside me is fighting, urging me to go and take her, to go and see, to make her mine. I fight for control of this, but it doesn't last. Before I notice, I'm outside her room staring at her door, forcing myself to walk away.

"Erick, what are you doing here? I thought I told you..."

She is still talking, but all I can do is stare at her, watch her, be near her. She is in nothing but a purple silk robe with wet hair trailing her waist. I take her in, all of her, my eyes not knowing where to look first. My eyes travel up and down her body. I see all of her curves as her robe clings to her skin, and hunger claims me. I grab hold of her and kiss her with all my might. She doesn't fight back, she craves. Her arms go around my neck, pulling me closer to her room. I close the door behind me, never leaving her and push her against the wall a small moan escapes her mouth as my tongue pushes against her teeth for an opening which she gladly gives. My throat vibrate, telling me I just growled. Unable to hide my need, my hands travel up her body, feeling her skin, going for the tie that still holds her rode together. She stiffens at my touch as I undo the tie and push it aside .

"Wait stop please... I can't I'm not ready," she breaks the kiss and looks me in the eye removing my hand and tying her robe back up she pushes me away and goes to her bed and sits down

"I'm sorry, I should have not done that..." I speak low and quietly, my voice small, betraying the hurt I felt when she pulled away. "I should go now. You should get some sleep" I turn away and head for the door.

"Wait, stop... Can you stay with me for the night? I don't want sleep alone in this big room." she lays down and pats the spot beside her, beckoning me towards her. I go and lay down, pulling her close to me and whispering "goodnight" to her, doubting I'll get any sleep tonight. She falls asleep instantly and leaves me awake, hard as a rock. I can feel her soft skin beneath her robe. I get up and walk to the bathroom. I pull my clothes off and hop in the cold water as it pours down my body. Even the smallest touch from her sets me off. She is beautiful in more ways than one, and I'm so happy she is mine. I turn the water off and pull a robe around me. I make my way back to the bed and gently pick her up, pull the covers down, and set her back down covering her up with the soft cotton. I lay down under it next to her and fall asleep.

~Angel~

I wake up with the covers on me and Erick gone. The side he was on is cold, so I know he has been gone awhile. I can still feel his lips against mine, and the way he touched me I drove me insane. I don't know why I stopped! I was guess I was just a bit afraid... I've never been touched that way, never felt wanted like that. He made me crazy with the way he had looked at me. He looked at me with such need I went overdrive. I couldn't think when he kissed me. I couldn't form any word in my mind. It was such a rush and it happened so fast I couldn't do anything but let him lead me.

I hear footsteps in my dining room and go in to see who is there.

"Hello miss! I'm Donella, your maid, and we are here to dress you. This is Zanna" she points to a small girl with short brown hair. "And this is Lena" Lena is slim, tall, and curvy. They all look nice and friendly; they wear big smiles across their faces "Shall we get your bath ready, miss?" Donella asks.

"No thanks, it's fine. I can do it myself. If I need any help, I will send for you. Thank you very much!" I shoo them out of the room and take a nice warm shower.

After my shower I get dressed in some jeans and a and t-shirt, not really caring who I will meet. I walk out the door and head for the garden. But... I'm not quite sure where it is.

"Excuse me sir, umm... Do you know where the garden is?" I ask the first person I see -- a guard.

"Yes miss, would you like me to show you the way?" his voice is soft and kind

"Yes, please. I'm new here, so I know very little about this place." He takes the lead and I follow right behind him.

"So what's your name? I feel bad for not knowing your name after you helped me. "

"My name is Greg miss. And may I ask your name in return?"

"I'm Angel. Greg, what a nice name. So Greg, where are you from?"
"I'm from a small town called Fulton, and trust me it's very boring with nothing to do. So when my folks decided to move here, I was very glad. When I get older I signed up to be a guard so I could protect the people I love. Where are you from, Angel?"

"I was in a town called Thomson. It was small and boring too. Since both my parents died when I was young, I was to live with my Aunt and Uncle. They were nice, but I'm kind of glad I moved here." I've already told him too much

"Mr. Yates, you are needed elsewhere. Go back to your post and stay there. If you want to keep your job, that is." A shiver goes through my spine at the voice. It's like I know it, but I can't place where from. I turn to look and then I see him. Blondish white shaggy hair and pale skin with a face so beautiful I could weep. But a ugly scar cuts across his face, slicing from his right eye down to his chin. He looks like someone I once knew, but who?

"Yes sir, you see I was just showing this girl to the gardens but I will return right away" Greg starts to move away and jogs back to his post.

"I don't appreciate you swaying a guard from his post the garden is just straight of here and then take a left you will see a fountain and it will be right there now good day and don't go messing with my guards you got that now go you know the way to the garden" he turns his back on me and starts walking away

But I need to know who he, why does he look familiar to me is

"Who are you sir what's your name" I stand my ground he turns around
"My name is Ash why would you need to know anyways I'm sorry but I sleep alone now please leave" His voice is rough and angry but steady. And then I just realized what he just implied me in his bed no way I've never bedded anyone in my life.

"Ash is it, I'm sorry if that came off wrong but I have no intention of going to your bed now that that is over tell me where are you from" he doesn't answer but looks me in the eyes causing my stomach to do
