The green hair witch

Sylvia

my mother walk up to the creepy man “Lord Rough it’s good to see you” she smile so charmingly.

so this is the Lord I was sold to, he look tall, maybe in his early 40’s , a wolf for that matter, will he eat me, oh God, I shivered from my spot.

“Oh Jane how is the Irish family, I suppose you have received my token, you never told me she’s this beautiful but why the veil”

Mom smile nervously. “You should be the first one to see her face Lord Rough” she bow slightly

Jesse pitch my arm painfullly “you’re suppose to smile and wave oh you don’t mind walking up to them to greet your new husband do you.”

what a rotten luck I have, I put on a soft smile bowing slightly though am not sure they saw my face, mom laugh at the joke he made.my hand became sweaty,

My mind was racing so loud I feared those around me could hear it. My legs move before my brain registered. I quickly walk away avoiding his burning gaze, my feet took me outside the ballroom, down the hall,I spent the next hour observing everywhere, I realize this whole spectacle was a not about love,it was business, human selling daughters for protection, wolf shopping for scents. everyone needed to build connection and keep their social circle relevant. The veil made me sweaty and am sure I did look odd going around with veil on my face. Then I slam into a body.

“I’m so sorry” I look at the green hair girl in front of me, her eyes were sharp and tilted studying me like a book, panic spread through me, of all people I had to bump into, a witch! What if she cast a spell on me

she smiled slightly. “You smile strange and weird” she sniff the air around me, then bow and walk away, I stood there too terrified to make a sound. Suddenly everywhere became quiet, the music in the ballroom stop, no sound of chatters or whispering , I quickly clutch my dress and rush back to the ballroom. As I step into the ballroom, tension grew, every step I made rushing to find mom became too loud.

“He’s coming” I heard Mia hiss, her voice shaky with excitement, she smoothen her pink ball gown for the hundredth time. for me I think she’s probably doing too much, she has being coming to this ball for years an wasn't chosen, what makes her think she will be chosen now.

A sudden aura swept the ballroom, I shivered even when heavily cloth,it felt like everyone held their breath in anticipation, even am curios to see what this alpha wolf looks like. I felt a wave of power wash over the room. Two massive door from the far end of the door swung open, Two figure step out. The one at the front march forward while the second one stay behind acting like security. His steps were powerful, he look taller like models I see on magazine in my world, even more beautiful.

I felt my legs tremble , my breath seize and landed face flat on the ground. I look around to see everyone on their knees, the human girls laying face flat on the ground, the witches trembling, the wolves struggling. It would have being a shame if I was they only one on the floor, just like a disaster I was, I struggle to get up but even fall kissing the ground through my veil. Then I could feel my muscle free, I look around everyone were already standing on their feet’s, I stoop up dusting my dress with my hand , what a dramatic way of entrance indeed.

The veil stuck to my face covering my view, I struggle to lift one side to see clearly but one peep at mother, she stare back at me, her face speaking louder than words, I drop my hand down slowly.

He was almost close to be, now I could see what he wore, a black tux, the first two button was open, I could see his broad chest spreading out hardly firing  in, my eye trace downward, his abs scream from inside threatening to bust out of his clothes. Damn his so sexy, God am so naughty. My eye trace to the one behind him, oh my goodness, are this people carve out of magazine, he look handsome but his face was stony.

“lower your head fool!”  Mother immediately shove my head down, I could feel Keal glared from where she stood. I complied bowing my head until I was staring at the marble floor. I could feel him approaching, my feet tingle, his aura was cold, barely looking at human daughters ignoring their carefully planned curtsies and nervous smiles, the wolves daughters raising their chins up posing in seductive way.This confirm the rumors that he hasn’t chosen anyone in years, I heard a small defeated sighs of women he passed. Mira stood rigid with expectation, Keal was red as tomatoes blushing gazing at him. I turn to look for Jessa, her eyes was staring intently at second guy following the Alpha, ohh what an interesting show. Just as the Alpha was about to pass us, he halted, from the corner of my eyes I could see him lift his head up and inhale the air like there was an interesting scent in the air. My heart hammered across my chest so rapidly I fear my chest will bust, I felt a certain of electricity from my hand to my toe, I shivered.  Too scared to move or breath, I stood there rigid. Then slowly Alpha Bryan turn his head towards us, he look directly at me or rather at the place where we stood.

He began walking towards me cutting through the space between my mom and I. gasps feel the ballroom, he stop right in front of me,I wish the ground will open up and swallow me, I buried my gaze on the floor, my hands sweating and fondling with each other.
