“Hey Dallah, how are you?”
Sallack is now standing next to me in Ruk’s arms.
“Yes, how lovely to see you Dallah!” Sallack says to her sarcastically, as she completely blanked him when he opened the door to her. She briefly look’s at him then to Ruk, her eyes finally landing on me again.
“I’m very well. Would you take a walk with me outside Zara?”
I release myself free from Ruk’s embrace and take Dallah’s hand that she holds out to me.
“Yes that would be great,” I reply, a little excited to be alone with her. As soon as I place my hand in hers, a warmth flows through my arm into my chest, a feeling of happiness and splendor fills my emotions. I lock eyes with Dallah, who gives me a knowing smile. What was that!
Sallack and Ruk are walking so closely behind us I can feel the heat coming of their bodies. Dallah spins round to face them with her eyebrows pulling into a frown.
“I want to speak alone with Zara! I won’t harm her. I have no intention of such things. You have my word,” She tells them slightly annoyed. They look at me, awaiting my thoughts on the matter.
“Go on, I’ll be fine” I tell them with a reassuring smile.
We walk for about 10 minutes in comfortable silence until we sit under a big oak tree.
“I like you Zara.”
“Well I like you to,” I say a little thrown off by her remark.
“Tell me, can I trust these Wolves?”
“Absolutely, they are nervous of your power, they wouldn’t hurt you in any way.”
“Ok.”
“Ok? Are you going to help Den today? You will love him; he is a gentle and beautiful man.”
“Yes I will but I’m a little more interested in you. If I do this, I want you to meet with Parrise to speak.”
What the hell! How does she know Parrise? I thought they do not associate with Vampires.
“You know Parrise? Why would you want me to meet him?”
“I can see him in your heart, you see him differently, and he acts differently around you. Many wise respectable Witches and Warlock’s told me that Parrise is pure evil, spiteful and untrustworthy beyond words. However, he is not this person around you; you’re changing him, charming him, as you are with the fierce Alpha and his pack brothers’.”
“You can look into my heart? I don’t understand what seeing him will do except make the brothers’ and Den upset. I don’t want either the pack brothers’ or Parrise hurt because of me.”
“I know you don’t. No one will get hurt, I will put a spell on the Wolves, they won’t know where you are. He needs you Zara as you need him.”
“Why would you do that for me?” I ask as a tear falls from my eye. I have tried so hard not think of Parrise but every time I close my eyes, he is there wanting and needing my love.
“If he doesn’t see you soon, a war will break out between the Vampires and Werewolves, I don’t want you hurt.”
“How do you know this and why do you care for me?”
“I know. I see it when I look at the feelings between you both, he already hold a piece of your heart along with Sallack and his Wolves. I told you, I like you Zara.”
“Ok, when and how?”
She brushes my hair away from my face with her fingers, as a mother would its child.
“After Den has connected with his Wolf, and you’re back at home, I will visit you and take you to him. No one will know but you, Parrise and me. You must not tell the brothers’ they do not trust me. Will you do this Zara? Will you trust what I tell you?”
“Yes.”
I don’t know why, it’s just a feeling that she speaks the truth. I do have love for Parrise just as I do with Sallack. I don’t want to lie to the brothers’, but if it means the pack will be safe from a fight, all because of me, then I shall trust Dallah.
Dallah
Zara and I head back to the Wolves house; she leads me to the sitting room where Den waits with the Alpha with his Beta and Delta. I have told Zara she should stay with me. I want to keep her near.
Zara is more than I ever expected a Charmer to be. I have heard tales of her as a child, but she is more than I thought possible and to meet her in the way I have is destiny. I can see in her heart that this is all new to her; she has travelled all the way from England, to me to the Wolves. The love she has for these Wolves is unconditional; I feel her heart open to love anyone who needs her.
She has chosen me to be her sister, but she will not understand yet. I felt her as a Charmer connecting her heart to mine, accepting me wholly; I won’t tell her at this moment, I shall wait for the right time. I do not know all there is to being the Charmer, no one does, but I will help her learn and guide her to her right path.
She is perfectly beautiful, almost ethereal with her long wavy blond hair, and her eyes are a delicious shade of dark brown and honey, they are radiant, perfect. Zara has the most pure of hearts I have ever seen in an immortal, I trust her with everything I am, as she will me. My beautiful sister.
“Ok, Den, Zara we need to be outside. Alpha, you need to keep all the Wolves well away from us.”
They growl a little at me, I do not care, with a twist of my hand I could cripple them with pain. However, I won’t be happy to do so knowing how important they are to Zara.
Den nods his head once to me, and follows. Den is an extremely handsome man, with black hair that has a wave to it and the most dazzling green eyes; I see something different in him, but what? I’m not sure of, yet! I have seen many Wolves but Sallack’s Wolves are by far the most exceptional. True warriors, their reputations precede them like no others; they are hugely built with stunning physiques. I must now put my trust in the Wolves as I can see Zara speaks the truth in her words, as they are a part of her heart, they will now be held in mine, it will take a little getting used to. The story’s I have heard about Sallack and his four men could give anyone nightmares, but Zara is changing them for the better.
I do not even trust my own mother; ‘The Light Queen of the Witches and Warlocks Coven’ but Zara is completely different, she is now my sister. I will cherish her and love her. Our connection will be like no other, not until she finds her chosen.
Looking into her heart, I see Sallack, but also Parrise and Den. Parrise is acknowledged to us all as an evil Vampire, cruel and harsh towards his people, but then he is a Warrior in his own right, there are not many as strong as Parrise, and thankfully, Zara is changing him for the better. Then there is the Werewolf Den, I see she loves him but I think she has given up on him, unfortunately. I will have to look into his heart and see what lies there, not that I will medal in Zara’s love life, what path she takes will lead her to her Destiny. I can see it is hard for her loving these men and not understanding why, but I will help her understand everything.
Being around these Wolves on their land is strange to me, in the light Coven I’m the Princess, Royalty. Humans do not see where we live and very rarely do we invite the Werewolves and Vampires, but that is in the ‘Light’ Coven. Richard Cole is the Prince of the ‘Dark’ Coven; he is known as the ‘Dark Prince’, loved, and feared by his people for being merciless and vile. He has no problem mixing with the most evil of the Werewolves and Vampires, they are his allies.
We walk back to the tree I sat with Zara a little while ago.
“Now we are alone, I need you to sit with me and hold my hands”
“Sure” He replies, adding a wink. I can’t help smiling at how relaxed he is, as is Zara who sit’s a foot away. Den is obviously a very flirty and playful man.
“Tell me Den, what are your parent’s names.” I ask.
“I don’t know I was also adopted.” He replies sadly.
I can see his parents in his heart, so why can he not? I will not tell him, I can’t mess with destiny, and if he is meant to find out about his heritage then he will. What bothers me is why I can’t see the reasons behind him and his Wolf not having the connection other Werewolves have, it is as if it has been hidden so deep
ly it will never be found, but the only person that can do this is a Witch or Warlock, a very powerful one. Why would someone want to do such a thing to a Werewolf, it is cruel beyond words. I vow to find out what has happened to this poor man and for what reason and make them pay for it.
“Im sorry Den I can’t see why you’re not connected but I will do everything in my power to connect you both.”
“Ok that’s cool, don’t worry about it princess,” He tells me as if he doesn’t care, but he does more then he will ever let on, he plays the joker and the flirt, but there is so much beyond that, he is a great Warrior and once he has connected to his Wolf he will be extremely powerful, within time.
“Zara come here, sit by me” I tell her, smiling at the excitement playing in her eyes as she moves to sit with me and smiles at Den.
“Den while I connect you to your Wolf I need you need to think of Zara and only Zara, so your Wolf does not consume you, do you understand?”
“Yes I do.” He reply’s fearlessly.
“Ok then I shall begin, Zara push the love you feel to Den throughout my words.”
I wait to see her doing as I ask. Visualizing the power of the spell, it begins.
The beginning of all our lives will start from this day forward.
Zara
Dallah is whispering into the wind a language I don’t understand, but it sound enchanting. I’m pushing every bit of love I have for Den, the way he makes me feel, and the unconditional adoration I feel toward him. I feel so overwhelmed by the love I push on Den. I close my eyes along with him and Dallah, to make sure I have complete concentration on my task.
The wind is whipping through my hair and the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Dallah voice gets louder and deeper like she is struggling, I feel so helpless. I do the only thing I can think of, while still pushing my complete love to Den, I push any strength I can give to Dallah, even though it’s only small, I feel the need to do so.
After 30 minutes the atmosphere turns, it’s hard to describe in words but it is extremely powerful. Still worried to open my eyes, I debate what to do, when I feel Dallah’s soft small hand take mine and squeezes gently, telling me it’s ok to do so. I open my eyes and shut them quickly as the sun stings from having them closed for a long length of time. As my eyes adjust to the surroundings, there in front of me is Den in Wolf form. I’m utterly speechless.
Den’s Wolf is glorious standing taller than me in sitting position and wide with pure muscle. His dark chocolate color fur shining against the sun’s rays and his beautiful dazzling green eyes are glowing gloriously. He has to be just as big as Sallack or maybe bigger!
I hold out my hand to him, as fresh tears fall from my eyes, from the splendor of him.
He slowly closes in, bumps his head into my hand, and licks my wrist.
“Oh Den, you are stunning!”
“He truly is,” Dallah, says from beside me, I forgot she was there until she spoke, as I was lost looking at Den in his Wolf form. I look at her and she turns her eyes to me from being transfixed on Den.
“Thank you Dallah, you truly are powerful, I will be in debt to you my whole life.”
“No you won’t, it was a pleasure to be a part of his connecting to his Wolf.”
I take my hands of Den and wrap my arms around her, feeling the truth in what she speaks, and how happy she is for Den, why can I feel that?
Den nudges my arm and I release Dallah from the embrace. He bowls his head to her and licks her fingers, putting an instant smile on her face. Den’s take’s off into the woods running with amazing speed as I just watch on in complete awe.
“Thank you for helping me Zara, binding Den to his Wolf was harder than I thought,” She says, as she looks over to the Direction Den took off at, lost in her own thoughts.
“Come on lets go tell the others, they will be ecstatic.”
She lets me lead her back to the house hand in hand, Sallack sees us coming, and jogs out to meet us followed by the others.
“Where is he? Did it work?” He looks at Dallah for her answer.
“Yes it worked he is a wonderful beast, he ran into the woods.”
“Amazing.” his gaze focuses on the trees in the distance, then back to Dallah.
“What was stopping him from connecting with his Wolf?”
“I couldn’t see why Sallack, but you have a great new addition to the pack, I am happy for you all.”
“Thank you Dallah.” He hugs her gently.
She looks slightly stunned and unsure but puts a hand up and pats his back in return. I rub her back gently to ease her tension, as she is a little cautious around Sallack.
Sallack takes me in his arms and kisses my lips, then takes off running while he shifts into his Wolf form. Ruk, Julian, Mickey and Dom follow his lead before thanking Dallah, and kissing her cheek.
“Shall we go in and have a drink?” I ask her.
“Yeah that would be good.”
I convinced Dallah to stay for the night to get proper rest, and promised her there was no need to be anxious around the men. I want to get to know her better, as I know Den will want to, as well as the others.
It is hours before the men return, laughing and chatting walking through the back door. I jump up quicker than I thought possible and run out of the sitting room straight into Den’s arms, I jump up on him embracing him how I do when my emotions are high, putting my head into the crook of his neck breathing in his amazing scent.
“Oh Den. I’m so proud of you!”
“Babe you have no idea how much I love you.” He whispers into my hair and squeezes me tight. After a few moments, I slip down to my feet, to stop Sallack’s deafening growl.
“Where is Dallah I want to thank her properly?”
We walk together into the sitting room where everyone is telling Dallah how thankful we are to her. Den go’s on one knee and kisses her hand.
“Thank you Dallah, I will always hold you in my heart for what you have done for me today.”
Looking at Dallah I can see her eyes mist over. She smiles and nods her head once putting her hand on his cheek, with a look of love and wonder sparkling in her eyes.
“You are welcome Den. You’re a strong Warrior; I can feel it in you, you can follow the path to your destiny now.”
He stands and pulls her up to her feet in a big cuddle and a kiss on the lips, classic Den! Dallah laughs while cuddling him back. I have a feeling that Den and Dallah are going to become very good friends from this day forward.
Sallack’s arms wrap around me in an embrace as I melt into the firm chest of the man I love and adore.
“I love you beautiful.” He tells me, making my heart swell.
“I love you.” I tell him back feeling my eyes brim with tears, I’m so happy and so in love. I really did think I was doomed to be alone in life, left wanting what I couldn’t have, Den. Then I meet Sallack and my life is turned upside down in the best way possible.
Later on that night, we sit down for pizza that has just been delivered. Dallah is so relaxed around us; she is laughing and joking with the pack brothers’ as if she has known them years, the difference in the way everyone is now with each other compared to when Dallah first came to Sallack’s home is amazing.
“What?” Den says looking at Julian.
“What?” Julian’s asks looking confused.
“I thought you said something, sorry man.”
Sallack, Ruk, Julian, Mickey and Dom look at Den in amazement.
“Of course why wouldn’t I?” Den says looking back up at Sallack.
“Well fuck me!” says Ruk laughing.
“No way really, oh wait…”
Den looks like he has a headache as he stares at Sallack. Suddenly they all burst out laughing. I look to Dallah to see if she is freaked out by their crazy talk.
“I think Den can communicate telepathically with the pack,” She tells me almost looking proud of Den.
“No way! How cool, is it true?” I lo
ok to Den, then the others excitedly.
“Yes. The only ones that can do it are my chosen ranks. The 5 of us, well 6 now. Our Wolves…” Sallack points to the pack at the table,
“…have chosen you as a brother Den.”
“Really? Well this day keeps getting better and better,” Den says with a grin. He mischievously waggles his eyebrows at Dallah, who snorts and rolls her eyes at him, making everyone laugh aloud. There is a growl at the table, we all look at Julian suspiciously, Den raises an eyebrow at him and a few seconds later nods his head once. Well, well, well, looks like Julian has a little crush on the beautiful Princess, they would make a stunning couple. Julian has a small smile on his lips and a flushed face as he looks at Dallah. She lowers her head away from everyone’s glare. I slip my hand under the table and take her hand in mine with a slight squeeze to comfort her, she looks at me as I give her a reassuring smile and wink. The stunning smile I have got used to spreads on her face, filling me with joy. I hope they do take the time to get to know each other; Julian is so much fun to be around, always making everyone laugh, then on the other hand he is so strong and powerful; he could look after her how she needs. I have a feeling she needs someone like Julian in her life.
“You picked up another stray!” Mary says with anger as she walks through the back door. She stands leaning against the kitchen worktop.
“Oh my god, what is with you?” I ask her in utter shock. What makes her think that she can walk in like this and speak to Dallah in this way? We were invited here she was not; she acts as if she lives in this house with the brothers'.
“Fuck off bitch…” Mary snarls at me, “…Sallack I’m giving you one more chance before I leave, will you be mine?”
Sallack’s eyes burn brightly as we can all see his anger kicking up a notch. He is seated next to me to my right while Dallah to my left, I can see he doesn’t want to speak to her because he looks like he is about to blow.
“Mary, seriously get over yourself he is mine now, so do one!” I say as I stand up, knowing that she is going to lash out, and I sure as hell don’t want to be attacked while sitting down.
