Somehow with the comfort that feels my soul isn’t that of a predator he was my savior

Dylan pulled his head out of the water and his body followed.

Turning to stare at him was the last thing I had in my mind right now, but I couldn’t help it , I just didn’t know why.

Somehow , I was looking at the man in front of me and that feeling, that man he was beautiful, I could feel it from where I sat.

He seems to have noticed my stare because the next moment, he was staring at me and I quickly looked away.

My arms were curled around my folded legs as I sat in front of the fire it had been a day of driving towards his home and we weren’t there.

It didn’t take long and I heard his heavy footsteps behind me but I didn’t turn.I didn’t want to look at him.

When Dylan sat in front of me he was dressed up in the shirt he had with him.

He sat right in front of me the both of us not saying a word and the awkward silence eating at us.it had been like this for the past 24 hours,he couldn’t seem to stand me but somehow he managed to ride with me everyday.

When I looked at Dylan, I noticed that cold shoulder it has always been cold shoulders since I met him but not like the ones that I had noticed.

Are you okay?

I found myself asking the last question on my mind.

When I asked that question he didn’t raise his head but instead he kept his gaze on the fire.

I shouldn’t have asked I knew that but curiously took the better of me.he wouldn’t reply to me he had been so cold and distant to me all this while.

“Dylan” my voice came out in a whisper as our eyes ran into each other , the familiar golden green eyes that I had learned to live with over the past three days bore into mine.

He seems surprised that I called his name because under the hard stare that he gave me I could see the amusement in them.

Dylan looked at me, the smile curling up at the corner of his lips “Go to sleep princess, tomorrow is going to be a long day”.

I pulled a stick from the fire as I blew it before dipping it in and then turning to look at him “ you are avoiding my question”

Why should I answer you ?

Because ?

“What” he says his words hostile and daring it was as if he was telling me to choose the next words carefully.

I never meant to offend you Dylan and I know you might hate me so much because of our history but I’m not your enemy, I hate my father as much as you do.

All my life , I had been trained in the castle's holy place , waiting for my 18th birthday when I finally became pure but what did I get ?

My own father looked straight into my eyes and ordered my death.

I know you might think you hate my father more than I do because he had kept you there for years but trust me when I crossed paths with that bastard again I would personally Cut off his head and bring it to you.

Dylan scoffed and then smiled.

You amuse me princess. He tells me gently as if ut was his way of telling me I was joking.

Its Rowena, I don’t think a princess is ever going to be a sacrifice.

Silence followed after I had said that,but I felt his tension ease.

I looked at him in a way he wouldn’t know, I wanted to take all his features, his looks and the way he looked at me when I wasn’t starring.

Why do they call you the rogue Alpha , I found myself asking.

When I asked that question it seemed to get his attention because he looked at me.

I don’t go with their rules princess and I don’t worship their stupid moon goddess who abandoned my people when your people turned against us or because I protected my people with my own power.

“They said you are the bastard son of your father ?” I asked him hoping he doesn't get mad .

Dylan raised his head and then stared at me, there wasn’t a trace of anger in his face but I couldn’t read him.

“Yes,I am princess” he tells me staring down at me.

The next words caught in my throat, I couldn’t say a thing to him not now or ever.

Tomorrow we are going to arrive at my pack and I know that they must be getting ready for my arrival , news must have traveled that the rogue Alpha had escaped with the human princess.

Silence followed again without the both of us not being able to say a word to the other.

Dylan poured water into the fire.

Tomorrow is going to be the longest day and I promise you , you might want to rest.

I nodded without saying a word as I stood up and walked back to the nice spot that I had prepared, it felt so cold.

As I laid there drifting away into unconsciousness, my eyelids growing heavy and my breathing getting slower by the seconds , Dylan's heartbeat against my back lured me back into consciousness.

The familiar smell of Forrest and woods filled my nostrils, it smelled so good and warm.

I don’t want you dying of cold when my wolf body could keep you warm or maybe I am the monster that you think I am.

The tingling sensation I felt in me at that moment , it was the first time I had ever been closed to a man all my life and this man here wasn’t just any man he was my predator but somehow when I got closer to him his presence gives me so much comfort than I had ever felt in my entire life.

******************

Standing right in front of the edge of the mountain , I felt the grin on his cheeks as I saw the mighty kingdom in front of us.

“Welcome to the rogue lands princess and be ready and brace yourself up because the worst is yet to come” he tells me as I drive towards the huge city gate.
