Phoenix:
Without letting him know that I was panicked by his words, I pulled away to look at his face. There was no expression there, but I could see a storm brewing in those golden orbs.
The way he was looking at me made me realize that I wanted to give in to the temptation to hug him and tell him never to let me go.
But I couldn't do that when I was on a mission.
When the music ended, I stepped back, pulling myself from his embrace.
"Your highness," I bent my back slightly, "I need to go and talk to my Alpha. He deserves to know that I'm back without any harm."
"I'll accompany you," he closed the small distance between us and held my hand, "I'm not letting you go there alone," his tone hardened by the end of it.
Why was he acting like a possessive boyfriend?
"Your majesty…" I tried to free my hand, "He is my alpha. And he isn't going to eat me up," With a smirk, I looked around.
Kiara was whispering something to the group while looking at us.
