Chapter 5: Prince Charming

Emma’s pov

I slowly opened my eyes and looked around.

Wait, when did I fall asleep?

“You are awake?” a voice behind me said.

That’s when I noticed that I was resting my head on someone’s chest.

I looked up and it was that stranger from last night.

Hell, I thought he was handsome last night but now seeing him in the morning light I was sure.

Wait, morning light?

I looked around and it was morning.

“What happened?” I asked trying to get my head off his chest.

I tried but my head still felt a little heavy, so I just fell back on his chest.

“You fainted last night, and have been sleeping all night,” he explained.

I looked around and I couldn’t believe any of this.

I understand that I fainted.

I went through a lot yesterday and I was honestly tired.

First, it was whatever Ashley gave me and I also fell down the stairs.

It took all in me to fight off Justin and it explains why I was tired.

But it doesn’t explain how I trusted this stranger and slept in his arms.

I looked at myself, nothing felt out of place I weirdly felt well rested.

“Don’t push yourself too hard,” he said, and I looked at him.

He was with me the whole night; I was unconscious, and he didn’t try anything.

He didn’t do anything but just let me rest in his arms and nothing else.

“Thank you,” I said, and he looked at me confused.

“For what?” he asked, and I just shrugged.

How do I tell him that I am thankful he did nothing to me?

“For being with me all night long and protecting me from the men,” I said, and he just shrugged.

“Shall we take you to your pack now?” he asked me, and I nodded.

We walked to my pack in silence and when we got close to the border he stopped and looked at him.

I couldn’t tell what he was because of my wolf that had been weakened.

But it was obvious that he was a werewolf hence why he protected me.

I guess meeting him has restored my faith in people for a bit.

I thought all men were nothing but vile animals, but I was wrong.

Men like him still exist in this world.

I looked at his blue eyes and remembered last night’s kiss.

The way his eyes followed my every movement as I went to kiss him. H

is eyes, as if they were telling me that I was safe with him.

“I am sorry, if the request I made yesterday made you uncomfortable,” I said, and he seemed confused.

“What request?” he asked, and I looked down.

“When I asked to kiss you, I shouldn’t have done that.

I just thought that maybe something would happen to me. I didn’t want to die without being kissed,” I explained.

“It’s okay, I enjoyed it,” he answered, and I looked at him and smiled.

“The monsters, if they hurt you again what will you do?” he asked me, and I smiled.

“I will endure, “I said and then turned to leave.

He stood there until I was safely inside the pack border and even way after that.

He watched as I walked in and was a good distance away from the pack border.

Gentleman like my father still exist, he helped me wanting nothing in return.

He stayed up all night with me, all alone, and didn’t think of doing anything.

As I got closer to the houses my heart started beating like crazy.

These people did all of this to me.

They kicked me to stay alone at night in a dangerous place and hoped I would die.

How will they react once they see that I am alive?

I honestly didn’t care about their reaction, so I went straight to the rouges dorm.

Alicia and the others came running to me.

“Are you okay? I heard that they chase you out all night,” Alicia said hugging me.

“Are you okay?

Did anything bad happen to you?” Rachel asked me and I shook my head.

“You are alive, do you know how scared we were?” Mama Joyce said as she came in.

“I don’t understand what they were saying about you. They said that you were trying to seduce Beta Justin,” Victoria said.

Victoria was a rouge like us, but she found her mate and he was an omega.

When she married him and got mated to him even her status changed.

“More like he was trying to get to you. Come on, tell us exactly what happened last night,” Alicia said.

How can I break their faith even more?

They already don’t have hope and I don’t want to break it even more.

And Rachel is only 15 years old.

How do I tell her everything that happened to me?

I already don’t have faith in anyone, and I don’t want to take away her faith.

You see Rachel wants to be just like Victoria.

She hopes that she will find a mate who will marry and take her out of this.

As for me, I don’t want such a thing as princecharming.

I don’t believe in love, and it is not something I hold out for.

You see fate has been really cruel to me and I have been nothing but a prisoner of fate.

Knowing that the universe has always been against me then how can I hope for love?

All I can do is just hope that I will get to taste freedom.

“No, it was merely a misunderstanding. I thought he wasn’t in his room and went in without knocking, that’s all,” I answered, and they all nodded.

“I knew it was a misunderstanding,” Rachel said, and I nodded.

I got into the shower, and I found something unusual.

The bruises that were on my body last night were gone completely.

How the hell did this happen?

I healed so quickly and that too without my wolf at all.

How on earth is this possible?

Not only that, but my skin had slowly started changing as well.

I seemed to have a certain glow to me, my eyes then landed on my lips.

I remembered the kiss between us.

Honestly when I saw him, he saved my life and had maintained a safe distance between us.

He was a stranger, but I weirdly felt safe around him.

That is why I asked if I could kiss him, because just this once I wanted something to be in my control.

I wanted to choose who gets to be my first kiss before that Justin takes away that choice from me.

But now that I am back alive, what will they do?
