The air suddenly shifted around her, and a cold wind swept through the forest. His figure was tall, and the sun was filtering through the treetops, shining down on the earthy forest floor. The pitter patter of little footsteps edged towards the trees, as her scent wafted through the air without a care in the world. Slowly moving towards the clearing, her scent, a mixture of peonies and vanilla seemed to calm the creatures slowly making their way towards this beautiful dancing stranger. Once her eyes fluttered open, she slowly fell to her delicate knees welcoming the animals as her lovely laugh bounced across every tree, filling the entire forest.
Rising to her pointe once again, she continued her dance across the forest, entering deeper into the now lively forest. Her dark raven hair flowing behind her every move. The warm winds slowly spreading her scent across every leaf, rock and tree. Her feet carried her in all directions, twirling as her flowy dress spun with the melody of her laughter. Although she was young, her body held unique talent that not many werewolves held. The animals watched in awe, as the young girl bounced and twirled across their forest floor. They encircled her as she circled the sun that filtered through the treetops, her every move exact and skilled before she fell to the ground in a fit of laughter and giggles.
When she finally regained her composure, she realized that the animals were gone, and the sun had stopped shining. The once loving and welcoming animals had scattered away, and the sounds of the forest became quiet. Becoming aware of her surroundings, she realized that she was lost, surrounded by the unfamiliar trees that loomed over her.
"Hello?" the little dancer called out to the now empty forest. "Help me...please!"
Her dark brown eyes searched the forest for any hint of life, for anyone to help her. She could feel the tears sting her eyes, as she fell to the ground realizing it was hopeless.
She did not want to be here anymore. She wanted to go home.
The air suddenly shifted around her, and a cold wind swept through the forest. His figure was tall and lean as he stood in the clearing, leaning against a tall tree. Anyone could see that his chest was toned, and muscular. He looked mature but was still very young himself. His brown hair was messy as it sat on top of his head, but it looked perfect for him. His gold eyes were something the young girl would never forget.
"Are you lost, little one?" his booming voice asked, as she wiped a tear away from her cheek. She turned around quickly, trying to find the person who the voice belonged to. When their eyes met, the man froze, but his wolf was ecstatic causing his eyes to flash a darker shade and back again.
"Mine!" He growled, but low enough so he would not scare his little dancer.
"Yes... p... Please help me. I’m... lost," she sniffled, moving closer to the man. Although she was scared just a few moments ago, his presence made her feel safe, especially against the cold forest breeze that had now chilled her.
"What's your name, Princess?" he asked in a gentle tone, making her cheeks blush and a smile form on her lips.
"Charlie," she stuttered, as his inner wolf purred at the little girl who stood before him.
"Hello, Charlie, my name is Leo. Do not worry, little one. I'll help you get back home," the tall man spoke, offering his hand out for her to take.
She placed her hand in his, but a howl suddenly broke through the tree line. Leo immediately recognized the sound, and he grabbed hold of Charlie and sprang into action.
"We have to go, quickly," he said, picking the little dancer up and walking towards the edge of the forest. She quickly buried her face in Leo's chest, her hands tightening around him to protect herself from the trees that slapped against them. His wolf, Steel was ecstatic holding his little dancer so close. Her unique scent calmed him down, allowing Leo to stay in control even with the howls ringing through the trees.
"We're almost out of the forest, you'll be safe now," Leo said calmly, slowing his pace.
"Charlie?! Charlieeeee?!" The familiar voice called out for her, the tone sounding more scared with each passing second.
He gently let her down, just before the tree line cleared and she began to run to the direction of her scared mother. He gently grabbed her hand before she ran off too quickly.
"Leo, I need to go! My mother is calling me!" she said, trying to pull her hand away from his grip.
"I know, but before you leave, I have a gift for you," he said, almost shyly. He pulled out a small gold bracelet from his pocket. It had many different charms on it, and Charlie squealed at the present.
"We will meet again, my little Charlie. Promise me you won’t take this off," he said, placing the golden bracelet across her wrist. She gave him a small hug and nodded before running towards her frantic mothers’ calls.
"We will meet again, but for now we need to separate," he said to himself, watching as his mate vanished off into the distance. He fought off the instinct to chase after his little mate, but she was not ready.
"Although today was not our day, we will meet again my little dancer."

Years had passed since their first meeting. The once little dancer now had had her 18th birthday and was starting her first year in college. Since the day in the woods, her talent of dance had increased, as did her skills in combat since the Alpha Blood ran through her veins.
Now she lays peacefully asleep in her bed. Her raven hair had grown to reach her waist, but the silky soft texture remained the same. Her features were soft as she relaxed, and there on her wrist was the golden bracelet with the five charms.
A wolf, a crown, a sapphire, a heart, and a castle.
She had kept her promise.

☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Since that day in the woods, the stranger has not left the confinement of my mind. The videos in my mind showed him doing different things each day.But he never smiles.He runs, trains, works, sleeps.But he never smiles.Why doesn't he smile?---"Charlie, come on! You need to get up. This is the second time I've asked you!" my mother shouted, and I couldn't help but let out a sharp groan at her harsh tone. I have never been a morning person, and I didn’t plan on starting now."I AM up!" I shout back, being startled awake from my dream of the perfect stranger once again. I had dreams about him almost every night since I had turned 18. His face always brought me comfort, but I could never remember where I had first met him.I tried to bury myself deeper in my cocoon of blankets, snuggling into their warmth desperately wanting to see the perfect stranger. Silence filled the house, and I could f
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Oliver's POV"Charlie," she says, as my eyes met hers.I reached my hand out to return the loose papers, and she politely took them. As she reached her hand out to me, I noticed something gold and shiny wrapped around her wrist."That's a nice bracelet," I said, eyeing the charms that dangled, trying to get a better look."Oh, thank you, it was a gift from a stranger," she giggles, playing with the charms.One charm especially caught my eye."Is that a sapphire charm?" I asked, trying to get a better look. She held out her hand so I could show me proudly.It was.Is this Leo's mate?I could not bring myself to say anything else to her, but she still held a smile on her face. I was delighted but horrified for this girl. The fear was overpowering the delight, slightly because I knew the truth about what was going to happen to this little wolf sitting in front of me if it was tru
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Oliver's POVI began to look more and more panicked as the guards continued to warn me that the Alpha was moving extremely fast to our destination. My mind was racing with so many unanswered questions.How did he not know Charlie was right beside his pack the whole time? Or did he, but never acted on it?What will happen if he sees her out in the open like this?Could the Alpha Kings mate really be a wolf less woman?She remained in the same position as when we got here, maybe out of morbid curiosity for her impending doom.Charlie's POVI remained still, drowning in both my confusion and my fear. I mean, I met Oliver this morning, and now I am standing in the forest alone with him. He started to pace back and forth and look as if he were about to have a panic attack rubbing the back of his neck aggressively.I moved slightly, and Oliver stopped pacing. He turned his
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒I slipped out of Leos grasp and the sparks that danced along my skin subsided. My mind was so foggy, that I did not even realize what was happening to me. I could feel something stirring in my mind. Something that I had never felt before."I can't go with you... my mother is expecting me home soon," I said, attempting to turn around and walk home, until I met Oliver’s scared eyes.I froze and sighed, allowing myself to be pulled back into Leos strong grip."You're mine, Nobody else's. MINE," he snarled in my ear, pulling me closer to his body. I could feel something sharp pierce the skin of my neck and I let out a loud scream. I instantly felt my knees go weak from the pain, but I did not fall thanks to Leos strong grip."No one will ever hurt you, angel," he said between placing light kisses against my wrist which made my heartbeat raise and my cheeks blush, "Let's go.""Oliver," I say softly, looking in his direc
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒LeoOur sleep together was peaceful. We were wrapped together, buried beneath the sheets as the sun shone through the window. Charlie groaned softly, snuggling her head deeper into my chest, trying to block the sunlight from her face which made my wolf purr in content.A soft knock woke me up from my sleep, which irritated me. I slowly slipped out of bed, replacing myself with a pillow which my little mate hugged and snuggled with deeply. I stood looking at her for a moment as a warm smile spread across my lips. A second knock came from the door, snapping me out of my daydream once again. I opened the door and stepped outside closing it quietly behind me.I looked up to see an anxious looking Oliver looking back at me."What are you doing here Oliver?!” I shout as quietly as I can. "You don't need to care for her, she's mine. I am her mate, not you!"I could feel my blood pressure begin to rise and
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒I was not exactly sure how long I slept but I woke up with the fire returning to my body. I was so unbelievably hot. I threw the blanket away from me and squirmed trying to get out of the bed. It did absolutely nothing to help, and I could see Leo's body was still tightly wrapped around me, which I knew did nothing to help my situation either. My school uniform was still on my body, and I felt like it was on fire as it touched my skin. The leggings underneath my skirt made it almost unbearable to wear them.Leo began to shuffle behind me, sensing that I was uncomfortable. I felt his hand reach under my skirt and grab the hem of my leggings. I put my hands over his and mumbled incoherent nothings to him."Just take it off baby, you're burning up. I promise I won't do anything; you just have to take it off," he said reassuringly.I was hot, and extremely tired. All I wanted to do was nuzzle back into his chest, so I grabbed the hem of m
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒Although it felt completely strange to have my wolf show up now, she explained it was because I was near my mate. She explained that she was sent by the Moon Goddess herself to me, and that she had special plans for me. I chuckled at that, but Faleece was extremely adamant on saying that I was special. She told me that my mate was not as bad as I was making him out to be, and that I just needed to give him a chance and that he would show me how powerful I could be. Now that was something we could disagree on.I had begun eating the tray of food that was left on my desk, as Faleece and I talked. She was extremely intelligent, and I could tell that she had a good soul which made me happy.The world had finally felt a lot less lonely.When I noticed that the sun had come up, I sensed a strange tingling sensation run through me right to the mark on my neck. I knew it was him before he even stepped into the room. The clicking of the lock a
☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒☾⭒After Griffen had left, I decided that it was time to shower and change my clothes. My closet had been stocked with everything I could imagine. I found a simple underwear set and a loose blouse with leggings. Although I felt like a prisoner, I didn’t have to look like one, at least. He had also stocked it with shelves of makeup, and perfumes. I decided that less was more in this case, and put on some mascara and a pale pink lip gloss.Before throwng on my blouse, I took a long look in the mirror. The scar that sat above my belly button taunted me, as of it was satisfied that it had made itself known to Leo and Griffen. I shook away these thoughts as a knock came at the door, so I threw my blouse on quickly before answering the door.Leo had one of the Omega’s come to my room and escort me down to the dining room for supper. We walked down the long halls taking many turns on the way I paid special attention to her directions when
