Chapter 7

Jackson’s POV

She turned around and held her chest.

“I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.” I apologized immediately.

“It’s fine. I just didn’t think anyone would be here.” She told me with a little smile.

We were both silent for a while. I looked at her and I couldn’t help but stare. She was wearing a mask but she still looked stunning especially on the black dress.

“So, what is a pretty girl like you doing here all alone?” I asked. I was just curious.

“Nothing.” she told me.

“I doubt that.”

She looked at me and sighed. I gave her one of my enchanting smiles.

“Its complicated.” She finally said.

“Try me.”

She told me that she needs to dance with an alpha because he has a lot of power and connection. A more powerful alpha than me? I could hardly believe that. From the way she talked, she was distressed and confused.

“And what might be the name of this alpha?” I asked. She looked not convinced, like she wasn’t going to tell me. I wasn’t going to push it. It was her problem after all. I was about to give up and leave when she said the name.

“Jackson.” She said, “Jackson Kane, alpha of blood moon pack.”

I was taken aback for a while but it was understandable, I was the most powerful alpha after all. But what I do not understand is what could she possibly want from me. she doesn’t look like someone in need of marriage and I am sure she is not here to kill me. she doesn’t look capable.

When she saw I didn’t give her an answer, she left and headed for the ball room. I looked at her as she left and I could help but feel something pull me towards her. I watched her go and I followed; I dint even know why.

Just as she was about to get down the stairs, I grabbed her hand and took her to the dance floor. No one dared to join us on the dance floor. Everyone just watched.

“A dance you want, a dance you shall get wolf.”  

I don’t really do favours like this but this was different. I just wanted to help her. maybe it is because I was somehow involved and I was interested in knowing what she wanted or did I just want her, all of her.

As we dance, everyone stared at us. She looked around happy. At this point I was confused. I couldn’t really understand what she wanted to do anymore. As was an elegant dancer; just like me. I looked at her and I couldn’t help but imagine what was under that mask.

“Jackson Kane?” she asked as we dance. It was a traditional so we followed the steps and talked.

“The one and only.” I told her.

“Why didn’t you tell me that upstairs.?”

“Where is the fun in that?” I asked her. “You needed help with something and I came. That is what I always do.”

She smiled, reliving a nice beautiful set of teeth.

We made a few spins and continued to dance. We were so close to each other that our lips almost touched. My chest was racing at this point.  

“No one else is dancing with us. Are they scared of you?” she asked. Of course, they are darling, I said in my head. Why wont they be? After all, I am not the most powerful alpha for no reason.

“Are you afraid of me.” I asked her.

“Why should be?”she threw a question back at me. I didn’t know what to answer but I love the look on her face at the moment. It had this glow to it that I can’t explain. She looked so pretty. We made a few spins and made her fall while I held her leg and head. We finished the dance and bowed.

“I hope you have gotten what you want. I hope I see you again wolf.” I say to her and leave.

After the attention a drew, I saw sure a lot of people, especially the she-wolves will come up to me so I stayed hidden.

I looked from the side and saw Eliot approach ed for a dance and his bride’s face. God! Eliot had no shame. If I saw his bride, I will not go threw with the marriage. Drake walk up to me and bowed.

“Give me a pen and paper” I ordered.

He handed it to me. I wrote a few words telling her to come see me after the party at the place we met and handed it to Drake.

“Give it to the wolf a danced with.”

I watched as Drake gave her the note and she smile. It made me smile. I know she has something big up her sleeve but I have something bigger.
