Little moments

"What do they do to an alpha who skips school?"

The stroking in my hair paused and I looked up to find Felix gazing at me dumbfounded. I chuckled.

" I mean you missed over a week already not adding up all those others pre kidnapping ..." I added a dramatic gasp.

"Imagine that, " I teased, "An alpha without a GED."

He shoved me playfully or what he meant to be playful and I ended up rolling quite a distance away. I bit my lip to hold in the bubbling laughter.

" Crystal," He started reaching out to me with the most adorable regretful look on his face. That's when i couldn't hold it in any more. I burst into laughter.

" You...should ...see ...your...face!" I told him between muffled laughter.

"I ...ughh cannot believe you!" He exclaimed, "i actually thought I hurt you."

The big bad alpha then pouted like the baby he is. I found myself grinning for no apparent reason. There was a warmth in my chest that I knew I would only have for Felix not just because of the bond, fate or whatever but these little short moments we had. The moments where it is just me and him. Talking. Whether its late at night in the grass or on a kitchen floor after having my ass handed to me by a witch, Felix was amazing to be around. Even just for a moment.

His eyes met mine for a second maybe two or was that minutes. I couldn't really say. I hadn't realized when I stopped laughing or when we got so close our noses were a breath away from touching but we were that close.

He smelled fresh like.he had just stepped out of a shower. His lips looked particularly great. So great my eyes just refused to look any where else.

"I don't know...how to keep you safe."

"I don't know how to keep the world from taking you away from me."

I moved in closer and stroked his face, "Felix."

"I don't want you hurt." He continued.

"Felix."

"I don't want you gone. I don't you gi be used as a plan to these people."

"Felix."

"I never want to see you in pain."

I wanted that too but enough about false hope. I wanted to feel those lips one more time. So I did and this time I didn't hesitate to put in my all, ladies and gentlemen.

If I was going to die or whatever I wanted this to be what I dreamed of during my last breath. I felt the tear that rolled down his cheek to our joined lips. Using my hands I wiped away the in coming ones as well that were under his eyes.

I pulled away a little to see him looking at me.

"You are much more sensitive than I realized." I teased and he bit back a small smile.

His eyes glistened again. This time not with tears but with something else that also made me smile.

"I don't deserve you."

I didn't give him a chance to dwell or understand what I had said. Instead I kissed him. Again. I kissed him like it was tge last time.I kissed him to have no regrets.

I kissed him so that if our tomorrow never came, I would hold on to this last Kiss until my dying breath.

Margot waited patiently in the room she shared with her mother, her hands were shaking with frustration at what Crystal had made her do. What she made her almost reveal? That girl would get her tongue cut out of her mouth if she wasn’t careful. Margot was frustrated, angry and very much terrified. Even more so when very loud angry stomps started making their way to the room. She was waiting although she didn’t want to. She knew she had messed up and fell into a trap. That trap wasn’t going to be as painful and humiliating as what she was about to experience.

“What do you think you were doing?”

“Mother-

“Don’t you dare call me that!”

“B-ut

“I said don’t talk. Don’t even breathe next to me!!”

Margot stepped back as her mother’s anger grew surrounding in a ball of rage. Her magic was everywhere making cracks in the walls and reflective surfaces. Margot fought hard not flinch at each strike.

“All you had to do was watch her. Watch her until that high strung wall of hers tears down,” She complained, “WAS THAT REALLY THAT HARD OF A TASK!”

Carmen stalked so close to Margot, she had the girl falling on her knees. Margot shivered with the restraints of loyalty that had been holding her back from how she truly felt at that very moment.

“You will be the death of all of us.”

Margot fell to her feet.

“You have to forgive me, mother.”

Carmen cursed and put up binds to keep their conversation confidential. Not air or sound could leave their presence until she lets it.

“No daughter of mine is this reckless. No daughter of mine is this stupid.” She scolded.

Everything was slipping out of control. She underestimated the girl, she admitted in thought. She had never thought that it would be that hard to control her. Get through her thoughts and get what she needed. She wasn’t the simple naive human she was led to believe.

“Something has to change,” she said, “Before we run out of time, something has to change.”

Margot trembled as her mother growled in frustration. The air grew cold and hot with every step she took. Her eyes shifted left to right as she searched for a thought, an idea, a way out of the mess she had made.

“I refuse to end like this.” She announced as she stared into space with an epiphany.

“Mother?”

She shushed her child and continued thinking. She raised her hands and started her summon. The locked windows flew open and fell off their hinges but her walls held. The air got heavy making it harder to breath. Carmen stood her ground and called again, using her powers to keep the damage to where she can control.

The lights went out and the air was still. In front of her stood a man in a white towel robe and a tooth brush hanging from his mouth. Despite the fact that he seemed to be caught unaware, he wore a knowing smirk on his face. His face. Paler than sheet and lips redder than blood.

“You came.” Carmen said breathlessly.

The man rubbed through his black locks and looked around before chuckling.

“You summoned.”

Carmen gulped. And sneaked a glance to the place where her daughter was kneeling. She quietly kept that to her self.

“I want to make a deal.”
