A not so stolen kiss
His softly whispered question hung heavy in the air while they stood facing each other with barely an inch between them. Her face was flushed, lending her cheeks a rosy glow and her eyes seemed to darken and glimmer in the sunlight that filtered through the open windows. She felt a soft breeze gently caress her face and lift the strands of her hair, stroking it back away from her neck and shoulders. She didn't know how long they stood there, only that she was frozen in place, mesmerized by his hypnotic gray eyes. She didn't see him lean closer until she felt his lips brush lightly against her own, that one touch, sending thousands of tiny sparks of electricity rushing through her every nerve.
Then the door to his office burst open and Abel, his Beta, walked in, halting just inside the door when he saw them. "Alpha?", he questioned, not willing to believe the sight before him.
Zeke raised his head toward him, taking his time, his hands still on her arm

Suddenly he released her and Merlin stood, her chest heaving and her body trembling from something other than the cold, their eyes locked onto each other while the storm raged unabated around them."Go now Merlin!", he shouted, his voice immediately swallowed by the sounds of the storm.Reluctantly, turning away, she ran through the balcony doors and once inside, she quickly turned around but he was already gone, the balcony empty except for the rain falling in an unbroken sheet of water. Lying alone in bed, later that night, Merlin fell asleep while thinking about his lips and dreamed of his mouth on hers.The next morning, after breakfast, Zeke took her with him to the training grounds, where Sandrine had brought her on her first day at the camp. He made her sit in the shade under a tree, where he was able to keep an eye on her wherever he was on the field. Merlin, unused to seeing werewolves strip naked to shift, had kept her eyes studiously
The Alpha's Fateful Witch The Witch Merlin
Catching movement from the corner of his eye, Zeke turned to find Merlin on her knees, her head thrown back and her arms open wide, just as an icy blast of wind howled through the library, ripping books from the shelves and scattering them across the walls and floor. The bookshelves teetered precariously under the force of the wind, only barely remaining upright while the lights flickered, almost going off completely.A cracking sound from beneath him, dragged his attention back to the witch trapped under him, who suddenly screamed, a gut wrenching scream full of pain. Looking down he noticed that her arm was twisted at an impossible angle, the bone obviously broken. Zeke jumped back from her and shifted back, confused and shocked, when her leg contorted at an odd angle followed by another cracking sound eliciting another shriek of pain that echoed throughout the library. His eyes moved back to Merlin and a split second later, he was beside her, pushing her arms down an
The Alpha's Fateful Witch Ticket to Ride
Merlin was descending the staircase just as Zeke entered the foyer, their eyes meeting as he held her gaze until she reached the bottom.She walked slowly towards him, her hands clasped nervously in front of her but her eyes never left his face."I.....I'm sorry....I should explain.....", she spoke haltingly as she came to stand in front of him."Let's walk outside, the fresh air might do you some good", he said, gesturing towards the front doors.Quietly, she accepted and together they walked through the doors and out into the forest. They walked for a while in silence, listening to the sounds of the forest, just enjoying the crisp air and warm sunshine. Being a werewolf, Zeke naturally enjoyed the outdoors, preferring it to the indoors and he found that he was not uncomfortable with having her here with him. He could tell that she was also enjoying being outside so he took the opportunity to point out various landmarks and features of th
The Alpha's Fateful Witch Waiting out the storm
"Excuse me?", she asked, her eyes wide.He sighed impatiently, "You're soaked, you need to get out of those clothes before you catch a cold""But I have nothing else to wear", she protested."There's some blankets here that we can use", he replied, gesturing to a large wooden trunk beside him.She looked at him, uncertainty in her eyes, as a draft blew through the cave making her shiver."Just change out of your clothes over there while I start a fire", he said, waving his hand in the general direction of the trunk as he crouched down and began lighting a fire.The cold was seeping into her bones and she grit her teeth to stop them chattering as she rushed to the trunk behind him and began taking off her clothes before quickly pulling a blanket around her. She stood behind him, quietly watching as he started a fire and patiently tended it, leaving her wondering how he could stand the cold."Could you pass me a
The Alpha's Fateful Witch Midnight Rendezvous
It was late when they eventually returned to the mansion and Merlin went straight to her room to bathe and put on some clothes. She had dinner alone in her room before retiring to bed but, unable to sleep, she decided to go back to the library and find the book.The mansion was quiet, everyone having already retired for the night as she made her way downstairs and through the long corridor to the library. Pushing through the heavy wooden doors, she found the library bathed in the soft glow from the moonlight streaming through the French windows that bordered one side of the room. Reaching to turn on the lights, she thought better of it, not wanting to alert anyone seeing the lights on and come to check. Moving quietly to the back of the room, she quickly located the shelf where she had first seen the book. She scanned the books on the shelf but couldn't seem to find the one she was looking for.She paused, trying to remember if this was where she found it,

"Through the kitchen and down the hall, on your right, there is a guest room, which is where you will stay while you are here. I will have your things from the second floor brought up in the morning. I expect that you will have an alternative course of action for me within the next twenty four hours since your recent endeavor to retrieve the book has proven fruitless. ", his voice, like his face, was blank, devoid of any emotion and not waiting for a response, he turned and walked into his bedroom.Merlin felt the tears, stinging her eyes, feeling somehow that maybe she deserved this for allowing herself to believe that she could ever be more to him than what she was. They had a deal and that was all it was to him, she felt so incredibly stupid that she had even dared to hope that he had genuinely cared for her. She was just an asset that he needed to protect until she had served her purpose, that's all it was and all it ever would be.The facts were crysta
The Alpha's Fateful Witch Aunt May
Merlin blinked slowly, her mind trying to catch up with what her ears just heard, she thought maybe Zeke was teasing her again but the look on his face told her otherwise."I....I couldn't......you don't know that it was me", she stammered."I was there Merlin", he stated simply.Her hands were clutching at her shirt and he could see her trembling as her eyes darted nervously around the room. He could hear her breathing becoming shallow and erratic, her heart beating too fast."Merlin", he called, "Merlin, look at me"She didn't seem to hear him so he called her name again but louder this time."Merlin! I said look at me!Finally she looked at him and he spoke to her in a soft, firm voice, "You need to calm down and control it, don't let it control you. Do you understand?"The blank look in her eyes faded as she focused on his face and voice and she nodded imperceptibly."I think
The Alpha's Fateful Witch Who are "They"?
The door slammed shut with a resounding thud, leaving her alone, as she heard the sound of the Alpha's car driving away and breathed a sigh of relief. Behind her, the back door in the kitchen opened and the sound of footsteps echoed through the empty house. The hairs on the back of her neck bristled as a cold draught accompanied the footsteps and she knew who it was, even before she turned to look into his dead, black eyes.The man standing in her kitchen, was rangy and almost seven feet tall but his slender frame hid a strength that she knew all too well. She had been younger and afraid then but not today, today she was fearless, fearless because she had nothing left to lose. He smiled then as if reading her thoughts, a humorless smile, his startlingly white teeth incongruous against his smooth, ebony complexion."Maybelline", he said, his mouth and tongue caressing her name like some clandestine lover from her youth."Obeah!", she spat
