Chapter 17 Shall We Dance?

I watched as he approached me in his fitted suit. His sweet smile pulling me in as he reached out his hand. It's as if my body was responding thoughtlessly to his. My hand reached out and taking hold of his large hand. I could feel my heart pounding and my ears burning as he spoke "You can just call me Drago." he suggested before lifting my hand to his lips. I swear I could hear Logan growling behind me and yet I didn't care. I giggled "I'm Evangeline but you can call me Eva, it's what most people do." I replied. He let out a heartfelt chuckle just as the music began playing again. He looked over to the dance floor where my father and Siggy were dancing "Would you care to dance?" he asked. I nodded eagerly as Logan had been busy glaring in his corner all night.

We made our way to the dancefloor. I looked back and blew Logan a kiss and winked at him. I mean could he really get mad? Drago is basically my dad's stepchild, so my stepbrother. He can't possibly see him as a threat, right? We got to the middle of the dance floor and placed his large warm hand on the small of my back. A small surprise gasp escaped from my lips. I swear I could see a small smirk forming on his lips. I placed my hand on his shoulder and the other in his hand. I'm not a very good dancer by any means but somehow we moved completely in sync. I never once second-guessed a step I was going to make. I got the strangely familiar feeling I had gotten with the white wolf. I felt safe, like the rest of the world didn't matter.

We danced for a few more songs until Logan tapped on his shoulder. Drago turned his head to look at him but still holding on to me "Yes?" he wondered nonchalantly. Logan had replaced his glare with a cocky grin "Mind if I cut in? I'd love to have a dance with my mate." he bragged. Drago kept smiling but I could see hurt in those swirling grey pools he called eyes. Drago nodded and gently passed me over to Logan "I did enjoy our dances. Hopefully, you come to see us soon I'm sure Elric would appreciate it." he mentioned. I nodded "Of course I would love to spend time with my family." I assured him. I was caught off guard when Logan kissed my neck. I noticed Drago had turned his head away. I wanted to reach out to him to make sure he was okay. However, Logan had already whisked me off to another part of the dance floor.

I guess I was too distracted as I kept stepping on Logan's feet "Sorry babe I think I just need a break." I commented. Logan nodded and chuckled "I think my feet could use one too." he teased. I blushed embarrassed. Had I really been that bad? We made our way over to a table and sat down for a little. I smiled as Melly and Danny soon joined us at our table. Melly gave me that knowing smile of hers "Jeez no one could keep their eyes off you earlier." she teased. I could feel my ears burning once again. I looked over at Logan when he grabbed my hand "It's okay I'm not very good at dancing either." He reassured.

~Logan's P.O.V~

Of course, he had to show up now of all times. Elric Silverstone the black wolf king. Just the title sounds so pretentious. He just had to reveal Eva as his daughter now every alpha male will be after her. I started to get irritated when blondie boy wouldn't stop making goo-goo eyes at her. Does he think he's hot shit just cause he's tall and has an accent? Fuck this dude! I sad in my corner brooding as Eva enjoyed dancing with that fool. That's when it hit me this was Elric's stepson, and there was no way he would let anything like 'that' happen right? I grinned happily at myself, I just have to have Danny meet with Elric later to remind him what my parents did for his daughter. I strutted over to them my confidence overflowing. I tapped him on his shoulder and kept my cool. I gave him the best smile I could muster "Mind if I cut in? I'd love to have a dance with MY mate." I boasted. I could see through his fake smile, his ego was hurt. Good, he needs to know his place when it comes to her. I gently and swiftly whisked her away after kissing her bare neck as he told her to come by to their pack house to visit. I tried dancing with Eva for a little but somehow she went from a pro dancer to having two left feet. I was relieved when she suggested that we take a break "Yeah my feet could use the break too." I commented. We went over to a table to sit down and relax. Luckily Danny and Melly soon joined us. As the girls were talking I motioned to Danny that I would need to talk to him later. He nodded his head in understanding.

~Drago's P.O.V~

I was prepared for all the attention we would receive from being Elric's family. I wasn't prepared however to see her here. I couldn't take my eyes off her, and luckily for me, Elric spotted her as well. He made his way over clearing a path for us to walk. I still couldn't get over how angelic her voice was to me. From the day I had seen her sleeping in that clearing, I knew she was the one. My wolf knew it too. I just hadn't expected that my soulmate would be Elric's daughter. She knew so little of our world and I didn't want to rush her. I would help her learn of our ways the best that I could and be whatever she needed me to be. I reached out my hand "You can call me Drago." I suggested as most pack members call me by my nickname. My heart was flying when she told me her name was Evangeline it was such a beautiful name. I brought her hand up to my lips gently pressing them against her soft skin. I had to suppress the pleasing growl that wanted to escape. Then I asked her to dance, I was ecstatic when she agreed. I couldn't help the small grin that crept onto my mouth when her cute little gasp escaped from her soft pink lips. We soon started dancing the world around us fading. This was perfect right here right now. She was all I would ever need. I stopped when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned still enamored in Eva's presence "Yes?" I asked nonchalantly. It was that alpha blood who constantly followed her around claiming to be her mate. I had to bite back a growl. He callously reminded me that he was to be her mate, as her bare neck would otherwise suggest. There was no mark they weren't fully mated just yet. I smiled hoping to hide the hurt my heart was feeling at the thought of her choosing him. I wanted to see her again and reminded her that Elric would also want to see his daughter more often. That's when that loathsome pup kissed her neck trying to assert his position. I turned away as I knew my eyes were flashing their dark blue. I didn't want Eva to be frightened of me. I could hear him whisking her off to another part of the ballroom. I let my mother know I would be getting some air outside.
