Chapter 5

chapter 5

Holy blue fire, my heart is beating so fast. His eyes and his gaze are now melting me..

What are these male gazes doing to my entire system? We are weakly connected to each other in this place but why is my heart still beating so hard? why is it still trying to recognize this man?

It's no good Lily. He will notice you, your mate will notice you.

I tried to walk again but my knees only got worse. Damn, what is happening to me? It was just a few words from him but damn. this werewolf can make my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.

He was still staring at me while all the 'people' who had been shouting were silenced when they heard this wolf's loud words.

he's looking at me intensely like we're the only 'people' inside this mystic tent. Why are the eyes of this wolf like this?

I thought kisses will only come from lips but I did realize that some kisses are given by the eyes..

I want to run, I want to get away from this place because I am no longer familiar with how I feel, but there is a big part of my personality that wants to stay. I want to see him more, I want to touch his skin and I want to know my mate more.

Is fighting inside the steel wire what he does for a living? Is he doing this in exchange for gold? What is he? Is he an Alpha? Beta? Why is he staring at me? Does he feel what I feel too? or is he just not used to having a woman watching him with her face covered? damn Want to know more about him.

My damn heart and brain are now conflicting with each other.

he was not the only one staring at me now, even the 'people' who were busy watching the battle earlier had their attention on me. How I hate this situation.

I took a deep breath before slowly stepping back to my feet but I almost fell when I felt someone grab my shoulders.

"Princess Lily, calm down. Act natural.." Geane softly whispered to me from behind.

"They're all looking at me..." I whispered to him.

"Everyone! Don't scare my guest" Geane clapped three times, causing the eyes of the people staring at me to disappear one after another.

"You too Adam, yes she's new and please don't scare her.." Geane quickly said to Adam who was still staring at me. Now he is frowning at me as if he doesn't understand something.

I quickly turned around while Geane was still supporting me. I held my chest as if it had just now breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes are too intense.

"Why don't you try to talk to him?" My eyes widened at what Geane said.

"I'm out! I'll be back tomorrow!" I heard the wolf cry from behind. Is he leaving?

"Princess Lily.." Geane grabbed my attention again.

"No, I can't talk to him.." I said seriously.

"But now is the best time for you to talk.." I shook my head tightly at what Geane said.

"And what? He will recognize me when we talk Geane. he will know that I am the one who is destined for him, what will happen next? Nothing good will come of us being together Geane, we are from different races.." I explained to him at length as we continued walking.

"I will strengthen the magic inside this hut, he won't recognize you as his partner.." I just held my breath at what he said.

"My Geane brothers are here. I'm sure they won't think twice about killing the wolf if they find out it's coming at me. they will definitely kill each other. I don't want that to happen" I explained at length.

"Your brothers are busy in the other hut, dear princess. You have nothing to worry about" I was still not convinced by what he was saying.

"This may be the last time you see Adam if you plan on not contacting him forever. Why don't you just use this opportunity for your first and last conversation? this is the most free place between the two of you, away from the eyes of your kind who try to separate you.." I was silent for a few minutes at what Geane said.

"But I am not ready yet, no. I can't talk to him yet.." yes, I want to look at him and hold him for a long time but I know in myself that I am not ready to talk to him. For now I am content to watch him from afar.

"What will you do now Princess Lily? he's behind us.." he whispered to me. I just froze when Geane quickly separated from me. What the?

"Hey.." I heard the wolf's voice from behind me.

I hurried to walk without looking at him. I want to swear, if I'm just outside this hut I'm sure I'll be far away from the wolf that follows me. I can easily use my vampire speed to run away from him but having this human strength? Shit.

"Wait.." he called me. I sped up my walk even more. I'm not yet ready! I can't talk to him yet. Now I regret standing at the corner of the table I came from.

I chose to keep walking until I reached a sea of ​​people dancing to the lively music. I've been tormented a few times when someone ran into my dancers.

"Hey, stop running!" I bit my lip when I heard his voice again. He's still after me.

I walked even faster until I arrived at a place where there were only a few people and most of them were couples who were kissing in some corner.

How can they kiss back without knowing what kind of creature they are kissing with?

when I noticed that the wolf was no longer following me, I slightly slowed down my walk and chose to observe the whole environment.

I thought I wouldn't see anything good in this place because of its messy arrangement in the first part full of people drinking, dancing wildly and various kinds of gambling, but I never thought I would find something so amazing of my eyes

large and elegant white pots are scattered around with beautiful flowers that include unspoiled bamboos. In the middle of it are shining curtains.

a crystal bead curtains flowing elegantly in six rows, it has red crystals on top and gold on its lower part. This place is so enchanting and damn fascinating, that even a princess like me who grew up around gold and crystals will be absolutely amazed.

what is the purpose of this place?

I noticed that at both ends of it there were two golden burners that were closed but at the small end of its lid there was white smoke coming out. I can't stop closing my eyes and inhaling its smoke. It smells like a jasmine flower.

I didn't think twice, I started to step my feet into the crystal curtains. And as I slowly passed by it, it also started to make a small noise.

This place is so beautiful..

I continued my walk until I reached the third row. My right hand is constantly moving gently through the crystal curtains I pass while listening to its soft noise with a smile. it was like a soft melody that can easily calm someone's heart.

I tried to close my eyes while slowly walking with the sweet fragrance of the smoke and mellow music of these crystals.

"These crystals should witness your beauty sweetheart.." I suddenly became aware of what I heard.

and I was almost stunned when I saw that the wolf I was hiding was just on the other side. Only a line of crystal curtain separated us from each other.

"Why are you running away from me?" he asked me weakly. I wanted to answer him but I chose to keep quiet and answer him in my mind.

Because we can't be together, it's easier to stay away while we don't know each other yet.

I started to step back again when he noticed I was taking a step back, he spoke again.

"I won't move from here, just don't run again.." I stopped walking because of what he said.

I couldn't see him very much because of the crystals that separated us.

"Did I scare you? I'm sorry for that.." I remained silent. I don't know what to say to him. I will never be afraid of him, I am afraid of the situation we both will be in if I let us get close.

"I've never seen you here. Are you from Deltora?" I noticed that he started walking towards me. Lying wolf.

"I thought you wouldn't move?" I asked him. I heard him laugh softly at what I said.

"Is it okay if I move a few inches?" I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows. He's been around for a long time, why does he need to say goodbye?

"I am not from Deltora.." I answered his previous question.

"Then, who are those guys a while ago?" I frowned at his question. He also noticed Finn and Evan even though he was busy fighting earlier?

"You've been watching me.." I said directly.

"I am" he answered quickly. in an instant he was opposite me now but he stayed on the other side of the curtain.

"Why can't you show your face? I know your face is as beautiful as your eyes sweetheart.." I don't know why I'm smiling behind the black handkerchief covering my face.

wolves talk too sweetly.

I took a deep breath before I prayed to the blue fire for the sin I would commit with all my heart.

"Can you tell me your name?" I asked him even though I already knew this.

"Adam..."

"Esmeralda.."

I immediately reached out my right hand, between the crystals separating the two of us.

"You should kiss me.." I didn't wait because he quickly reached my right hand and slowly brought it to his lips.

but I was just surprised when he pulled me into his arms and I completely crossed the crystal curtain that separated the two of us.

I just felt our lips touch. but despite the black handkerchief between our lips, I could feel the softness and warmth of the lips of the man destined for me. My first mate's kiss.

"Werewolves don't kiss on hand, we always kiss on lips Esmeralda..."
