Chapter Six

My eyes watch as the redcaps cut their way through the trees. These are grumpy little goblins. I try to mind my own business when it comes to them. Their weapons may be small, but their temper makes them mighty.

"At least you're not in charge of them." Nico laughs, interrupting my watching of them. 

"Maybe they will accept who I am."

He analyzes my face before putting the strain of hair behind my ear. 

"I do Rori, we need you to be careful with it."

"Magic isn't dangerous."

"But the creatures to which it is connected are."

I nod.

I feel his lips on my cheek. I smile at his touch. 

The loud rush of air sends my hair flying, and the loud Sound of a motor fills my ears from the trees above. Looking up, my eyes are shocked and the huge aircraft in the sky. I am not sure if it's a helicopter or an airplane, or what. It's shaped like a big huge rock and has an oval pattern. The window is so black there's no way you'll be able to see through them. 

It lands directly in front of us. My eyes are still frozen. 

I stand up and I try to hide the shakiness coming from my legs as I take a few steps forward I feel Nico's arms wrapped around me. Despite being the alpha, he was still quite protective of me.

"I am fine, I need to great, them."

I see the others circling us. I hope these creatures come in peace and this is not a fight. 

The aircraft opens, from a door that wasn't seen at first. It was a few shades lighter gray, than the darker gray aircraft. The creature that jumps out is unimaginable. 

They have green scaly skin, it was scary analyzing their face. Their eyes glow a deep red. The body was human-like and even wore acceptable matching clothes to the human race. Their hair is a deep blue, and I watch as two males walk toward us. 

Nico's hold on my side tightens and I feel his body growing warm. I know he wanted to turn into a wolf, but he was waiting for my command.

"I'm Gala, and this is Theo." I watch the creature point to himself and then his friend.

I smile. I watch in amazement as their skin changes to normal human skin.

"I am Alpha Rori." I couldn't help all these feelings pausing through my veins, looking Gala directly in the face. It almost feels similar to being mates with Nico.

"Rori," he takes a bow.

"And your intentions here?"

He looks me up and down for a moment. "There is no hidden agenda."

"Then what's the obvious agenda?"

He smiles."To fit into the forest of course."

"Welcome and how many are there?"

"Are there?" Gala cocks head to the side

"Creatures such as yourself."

He laughs. "We are aliens, And there are many inside the spaceship."

Aliens fuck. And our ancestors thought dealing with vampires was difficult.

****

I walk around with Gala and Theo. Nico and Tala both trailing protectively behind me. 

"So you're like their queen?" Theo asks. 

"Oh, she thinks,"Tala jokes. I roll my eyes hearing Nico's laughter. 

"Alpha is a leader, the one who makes all the tough decisions."

"So in a sense, you're the queen."

I nod. "And do you have a queen?"

Gala smiles. "Hopefully someday." I see a twinkle in his eyes when he looks at me. Hopefully, he isn't feeling the same feelings I have swirling inside my tummy.
