Charming The Warriors (The Charmer) (18 page)

             
“I think the brothers’ are fierce Warriors, every one of them. They have love and respect for each other and they are the most handsome, caring men I know. You Dallah…” I hear Sallack take a step forward, followed by a low growl, but I don’t look at him as I’m trying to work her out on my own. Listening to my heart, trusting my feelings I carry on, “…Are stunningly beautiful, I feel safe around you, like you mean me no harm.”

She speaks to
Den but doesn’t look at him. She is still looking at me,

             
“I have changed my mind, I will help you. I will come back in the morning.” She leans forward and whispers in my ear so quietly, I just make out the word she says, “
Sister.
”

What the hell does that mean, Sister? She isn’t my sister, I think!

She kisses my cheek, turns on her heel, and leaves the house. Mickey’s harsh grip loosens, happy that she has left.

             
Everyone huddles round me waiting for me to speak while Sallack takes me by the arm pulling me to stand in front of him; his arms cross over my chest, whilst the brothers’ are still waiting for me to speak.

             
“Well she was lovely; I don’t know what you all got yourself worked up about?”

Everyone looks at me as if
I am crazy except for Den, who laughs and says,

             
“Exactly what I was thinking babe.”

Sallack kisses my head and walks out of the kitchen
in anger. I look to Den for an answer as to what has got in to him. Den nods his head to Sallack's back, silently telling me to go and speak with him. I follow Sallack into the sitting room where he is standing with his back to me looking out the window.

             
“Are you mad with me?” I ask as he turns to face me.

             
“No, I would never be mad with you, I just don’t like the interest the Princess of the Witch’s Coven is taken to you! She asked if he would tell her who the most important person is to him and he said you! She asked where you were and wanted to meet you! She refused to help when we said no to her, I don’t like it Zara,” He says full of worry and getting noticeably angry.

I walk up to him and place my hands on his chest, meeting his cool gaze.

              “I really don’t think she has any I’ll will towards us Sallack, she is just worried for her safety. You said they are not trusting people, maybe if you trust her she will trust you in return.”

             
“Are you trying to get my role as the wise Alpha?”

He laughs, lightening the mood, I reach up and kiss his mouth and lay my head on his chest.

              “I know it’s early, but do you mind if I go to bed. It’s been very busy day, and I only slept 3 hours last night?”

             
“That’s fine; do you remember where my room is? I will be up in a few hours, unless you would like to be left alone?” He asks with a frown.

             
“No, I want you with me.”

             
“Good, because I don’t think I could stay away from you, not to have you in my arms. Goodnight Zara.” He kisses my forehead.

             
I say goodnight to the rest of the men, giving them all hugs and kisses on the cheeks, them replying with gentle growls.

             
I easily find Sallack’s room. I take of my clothes and put on the sports bra and pajama pants, that Den picked up for me. Snuggling on the gigantic bed I fall asleep thinking of the new world I have been welcomed in to so naturally and that I have accepted so naturally myself.

Chapter 13

The next morning a heavy feeling on my legs and chest wakes me. Opening my eyes slowly, I see Sallack’s legs threaded with mine, his heavy muscular arm laced over my chest and his handsome face only an inch away. I turn my body to his, fitting perfectly against him and kiss him gently, savoring the warmth and plumpness of his lips.

             
“Morning beautiful, that’s some wake up. Do it again?”

He shuts his eyes and pretends to be asleep again; he is wearing a big grin that makes me giggle. Nevertheless, I kiss him again but with the passion burning inside of me that I feel towards him. He pulls me up on top of him still lying down; as he places his hands on my buttocks pushing me into his erection. He grind’s against me as there is a knock at the door spoiling our intimate moment.

             
“Zara, come on get up, get dressed. I want breakfast with you?” Den shouts out.

             
“I’m up; I’ll just get a quick shower and dress. I’ll be 15 minutes k?”

             
“Yes babe, I’ll be in the kitchen. Morning Sallack!”

I can
hear the laughter in his voice, which makes me snort. We hear him walk away from the door now laughing aloud.

             
“Ummm,” Sallack replies still massaging my butt, pushing us together.

             
“Don’t leave me Zara?” He says in a sexually charged voice.

             
“I’m sorry, we can finish tonight?” I wink at him and leave the bed to the bathroom.

              I get dressed in what Den has bought me from home. He’s picked two dresses, one in blue and the other in a peach color. I pick the baby blue body hugging strapless dress that comes to my knees snugly. I go down bare foot as I only painted my toes yesterday morning, in a silver glitter nail varnish, they look cute. I plait my hair loosely to the side and let the length of my hair fall over my breast.

              “Oh I picked well?”

Den tells me as I walk into the
kitchen; Ruk has turned to give me a plate of food and stops when his eyes land on me, letting a low growl escape.

             
“You look great Zara. Want some?”

He has pure lust in his gorgeous eyes, as he passes me the plate.
Den’s fake cough brings Ruk out of his trance.

             
“Thanks Ruk, and thanks to you.” I nudge Den with my hip, “For picking my stuff up. I forgot to say yesterday.”

             
“Nu it’s cool babe.”             

             
“So are you excited for today?”

             
“Yeah defiantly, I can’t wait” He tells me with a grin.

             
“Me to, I bet your Wolf is stunning.” I say excitedly.

He growls gently in his throat, as he takes my hand in his.

              “Of course he will be babe.” He says, making me laugh at the size of the man’s ego.

             
“God I love you Den, and you” I turn to Ruk, placing my hand over his and squeeze his hand, receiving a stunning smile and wink in return.

              The morning goes very quickly again, Den go’s out with Julian on the quad’s to look over the land surrounding the house’s. while Sallack and I spend the morning in bed once the brothers leave to take care of the duties.

             
We eat lunch together that Mickey and I have made, which took ages as they eat so bloody much. Sitting next to Sallack at the table and surrounded by the brothers I ask him,

“Hey can you drop me off at the club tonight
?”

He looks at me with a
frown, shaking his head.

             
“No.” He tells me sternly.

             
“What do you mean ‘No’?” I ask annoyed.

             
“You won’t be protected!”

             
“I don’t need protection! I need to work, I have bills to pay!”

             
“Just leave it a few days Zara, please don’t argue this with me, it’s for your own safety.”

             
“Im not in danger!” I say annoyed.

             
“You have a blood sucker who wants you as a pet!” He says with a raised voice.

             
“For God sake, He doesn’t want to hurt me, I’ll drop this now…but I can look after myself, I’m not as fragile as you all see me as. I’d kick your ass!” I say only half joking as I lean back in my chair. Den’s gaze catches my eyes as he gives me a wink, proud that I am sticking up for myself against the big bad Alpha. I smile back at him, but noticing the brothers’ look a little on edge as they watch Sallack and me intensely. Sallack puts his hand on my thigh and leans into me whispering against my ear.

             
“God, you turn me on.” He says breaking the tension and making me laugh out loud. I put my hands to his face, pressing my lips to his as I whisper upon his lips, “Snap.”

His eyes gloss over with lust as he releases a soft growl, making a smile spread over my face. Rel
easing him, I look to the brothers’, who all have knowing smiles on the faces, well except Den who looks about ready to give me a telling off.

              Everyone goes back to their duties after lunch, except for Ruk, who stays in the kitchen as everyone leaves. Sallack kisses my lip tenderly and heads out to his office to do paperwork for the club and bar. Therefore, it’s just Ruk and I. I love spending time with him he’s such a lovely person, and he’s very easy on the eyes.

             
“Are you on babysitting duty?” I laugh.

             
“No, we had to fight to be the one to spend the day with you, I won!”

He laugh’s proudly
as my smile fades dramatically.

             
“You’re joking! Right?”

             
“No it’s true; all the brothers’ want to be around you alone, to get to know you better.” He shrugs his shoulders.

What?
Why would they fight to spend time with me, I'm nobody.

             
“Don’t look like that Zara; you are a pleasure to be around. It wasn’t a real fight, just playing around.”

             
“Oh ok, well I’m very lucky to have you all think that of someone like me.”

             
“Someone like you,” He repeats with a frown.

             
“Yeah you know. Compared to you I’m a boring Human.”

He la
ughs aloud and takes my hand gently in his large one.

             
“You beautiful Zara, are exciting. There is not a single boring thing about you. You look at us all with wonder and love in your eyes and we love you for feeling this way over us. Your word’s last night where heartfelt and very touching, we are blessed to have you in our lives. Sallack is a lucky man.”

As he finishes speaking, I feel a lump in my throat, the look in his eyes breaks my heart, I feel so much love for him, he’s watched over me trusted me with his
life, by telling me his secret and he thinks he is the one that’s blessed! Pulling him towards me, I wrap my arms around his waist, as he returns it by lacing his arms over my shoulders letting a growl slip his lips; I lean into his chest, feeling the beat of his heart against my cheek.

             
Ruk goes stiff; I look up at him following his gaze to the front door. Sallack walks out from his office looking right at us, obviously not happy with our embrace, from the growl we hear him send our way, he then looks back to the door. I’m still in Ruk’s arms when there is a knock. Sallack opens it and before he speaks Dallah comes walking in without a word. She walks past Sallack without a word and straight up to me and Ruk with a smile in place.

Im so excited to see her, I have been looking forward to her coming back.
I asked Sallack how he knew when she turned up yesterday and he told Den and I that he had a Witch put a spell on his land, so that when a supernatural entered his property he and the brothers’ would know straight away.

             
“Hello Zara.”

I turn to get out of
Ruk’s bear hug, and face Dallah as Ruk pulls me tightly against his chest. God he’s protective, she only said hello!

             
“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! H
ow 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.
