RALIA

I watched her face in the mirror as she brushed my hair quietly.

She looks nothing like Cheyenne, I know she can't pass as a replacement for her.

At that moment, I longed for Cheyenne, I longed for the fun moments we had together when talk about our fantasies. I longed for the days she brings cards to my room, I miss being defeated by her, I miss her cheating me in the card games.

I snapped back to reality when I felt a light tap on my shoulder.

"We are done mam" she said formally.

"Let's head downstairs for breakfast".

I nodded and followed her downstairs.

LESLEY

I sat impatiently on the dinning table wondering what could be taking so long.

Is she that hard to dress up?

A few minutes passed before I heard gentle footsteps on the staircase.

My jaw drooped when I looked up.

I had always known she's beautiful right from the first time I set my eyes on her but right now, her beauty is undiscribable. She looked like a water goddess whose sole aim is seduction, like a morning flower that just blossomed.

Her innocent looks made her even more alluring

I watched as she takes gentle steps towards me till she got to the table.

"How are you feeling" I asked as she sat facing me.

"Better than I expected" was her sharp reply.

"Good for you" I said nonchalantly.

RALIA

Dinner was quiet, except he just keeps casting occasional glances at me.

He left shortly after saying he has some business to attend to.

I lay on my bed, thoughts of him occupying my memory. I thought if the things he did to me other night, how he kissed me so passionately and the tingling feelings it gave to me. I know this is probably wrong but I want more, I want more of the wrong things he did to me.

I don't know what this handsome stranger has done to be but what I know is that I've totally fallen for him, If this is what love is then I've fallen hopelessly in love with this man.

I've come to learn that he is the dark alpha, but I can't help it.

I know this doesn't match any of the daydreams I and Cheyenne always have about my prince charming but something tells me that I've finally met him.

Later that night, I heard a soft knock on the door. I quickly stood up to open the door.

My heart paused when I finally opened the door. There he stood with all his glory looking more handsome than ever staring at me with those piercing grey eyes that I love so much.

I noticed not for the first time his scent. He has that muscular scent that fills my nose whenever he comes close. I was beginning to associate his scent with the color of his eyes, those piercing grey eyes that always looks as though they could see through me, as if they could see through my vulnerability, as if they could see how vulnerable and helpless I feel around him.

Whenever he is around, I feel like running into his arms and staying there till forever.

I was brought back to reality by his deep muscular voice that sounds like a volcano about to erupt.

"Will you at least let me come in" he said

I notice a warmness in his eyes that quickly disappeared as if it wasn't there in the first place. If I wasn't quick I wouldn't have noticed it.

I quickly stepped aside and he walked in and sat on the bed.

"So how did you enjoy your stay on your first day here?"

"I didn't do much" I said I bit excited that he asked.

"I just stayed in here all day and looked at the city through the window"

He nodded while watching me intently.

"You can take a walk in the garden if you want" he said still observing me.

"There's a garden?" I asked excitedly

"And I'm allowed to go out, into the garden?" I asked in excitement.

"Off course" he said a little bit amused.

"I will show you the garden by tomorrow morning, now come sit beside me" he said tapping the bed beside him.

I moved excitedly to sit beside him unable to believe the amount of freedom I would be getting here. They type I never go in my house where I was always locked up in my tower room.

I concluded in my mind that I have finally met my prince charming, the prince charming I have always dreamed about, the prince charming that would take me out of my lonely and miserable life.

But I wonder why he is so cold, everything would have been perfect if he wasn't so cold.

Unconsciously, I rested my head on his shoulder, he moved his hand and brushed my hair.

LESLEY

I don't understand why my heart skipped a bit when she rested her head on my shoulder. I'm supposed to not have a heart, after all I am the dark alpha who is supposed to be concerned about doing only evil things.

After all I need it to grow my power.

It was as if my hand moved on it's own and brushed her hair.

She looks and feels so innocent, she feels like a kitten.

She moved her head and I looked into her the eyes of the kitten sitting beside me, my kitten, she's mine. After all she is my mate.

I was still trying to figure out the meaning of the emotions building inside of me as I looked into her eyes when she moved and did the unexpected.

She crashed her soft bow shaped lips on mine kissing me so passionately, though she isn't good at it but it stired up some kind of feeling inside of me, before you know it I started kissing her back.

I placed my hand at the back of her head running my hands through her long, soft, dark hair. She placed her soft hand innocently on my chest causing emotions running through me like a surge of electricity.

Caught in the moment, running my hands all over her soft silky skin.

I ran my hands through her bossom, squeezing her breast. And all of a sudden she sprang up, she pulled away from me, her innocent green eyes looking accusingly at me. She had that same look as the first time I kissed her at her house.

I stood up feeling a bit disappointed.
