*Princess Jasmin*
The next day, I woke up late in the evening at my huge apartment in the city. The long hours of driving had taken all my strength.
Now that I'm here , I couldn't help but kept thinking about my brother. If he will send the warriors to take me back or not. Another one is about Alpha Zero. Can he track me even in a place of the humans?
But I know that right now, my brother must be furious upon learning the news of my escaped. And I wonder what he would do, or what would Alpha Zero do to the fact that I have defied him too.
I got up and felt the rumbling of my stomach, remembering I had just eaten a sandwich before coming here, made my stomach crave for food. I am thinking about going down to eat at a nearby restaurant after getting a quick shower and a change of clothes.
After the shower I opened my luggage and searched for something to wear outside. Pulling out a bikini and a push up bra, I removed the towel around my body. I picked up a pair of skinny jeans and a simple black shirt to wear, being in the city should be easy. I just have to blend in with everyone on the street. After I put my shirt on, a sound of someone knocking on my door alerted all of my senses.
All of a sudden, my heart thumped loudly inside my chest. How could they find out I am here, even Keira did not know about this place. My mind is debating on the first thing that I should do. I tried sniffing the air for the scent of a wolf but I couldn't pick up something. The knocked came louder as someone must have lost their patience in waiting behind the door. I grab my pair of black converse and put them on before i stood up and think of the best way to escape.
I looked at the windows and shake my head. There's no way I could get out in those. I am on the tenth floor of the building.
A decision comes to my mind after a minute, and so I stepped forward and looked on the peephole.
There were three men standing outside the door, and judging by their looks, they are from the North. The biggest man out of the three, who's hand is at my door sniffed the air. I quickly covered my mouth with my right hand, it's as if he could smell me through the door.
"Princess Jasmin, we know your inside. Please open up, we are here according to the instructions of Alpha Zero!".
I sucked in a huge intake of breath. Damn! I knew it..
But I didn't made any reply, my apartment is in the tenth floor and I couldn't jump that high. Not even in my wolf form.
"Princess Jasmin, I am Beta Derek of the Cold Mountain Pack. If you don't open the door, we will be forced to open it up!."
I walked back quickly to the place where my luggage is and grab the tiny bottle of potion portal that Maleficus gave.
When a loud noise is heard from the door of my bedroom, I smashed the small bottle in the floor. I grab my shoulder bag and place it on my body, when the smoke came out and covered all over me.
I concentrated on the place where I wanted to be. The most vivid and recent place I imprinted on my mind, the driver's seat of my red sports car.
I caught a glimpse of the men getting inside my room before i shut my eyes and wish the potion would work. I let a couple of seconds passes and when i find the courage to open my eyes, my surroundings completely changed... I am transported so well into the luxurious seat behind the steering wheel of my sports car.
It was shaking a bit due to the impact of myself jumping inside, my hands has quickly grab the seatbelt of one of the most expensive cars in the human world. Without delay, I started the engine and drive into the busy street of the City.
Loud honking of vehicles and a few motor cycles are polluting the sound in the air. I glanced side by side and wondered how is the people still busy walking at the side of the streets when it's already past ten in the evening. But I guessed humans in the city are all like these every night. They work, shop and ate outside the comfort of their home even late in the evening.
I waited for the traffic light to turn green and then I drove my car away living the city behind.
What now?...where would I go. I was lucky to have escaped from the warriors of the North, but which place would I go? It was then that I notice a huge sign board beside the road. "Wolf's Lair", ahead.
Looks convenient for someone like me to crash on for the night.
I've got friends in the city but I couldn't reach them without my cellphone, it was unfortunately left in my apartment.
After driving for about ten minutes, I stopped in front of a two story luxury log cabin. I stepped outside of my car and grab my purse making sure my keys are inside and the doors are locked before I took a step forward.
The huge log house looks cozy and quiet. There were only three cars on the space provided for parking and the fourth one is mine. My gaze focus into the entrance door with a sign board that reads "Welcome" and headed straight to open the knob.
I walked inside to a small reception area with an old woman standing at the front. She wore a mysterious smile in her face when our eyes met. With her grey hair tie in a neat bun, I'm guessing she must be around sixty or late fifties old. But she looked strong and confident.
"Hello there!, can I help you?".
The genuine spark in her eyes tells me she was glad to have another guest for the evening. She was eyeing me up and down before she grab a big book under the counter. I smiled back at her and took a step forward. Resting one of my arm at her counter I give her my friendliest tone of voice.
"Yes please, just one room for the evening."
"That's what I've thought. Kindly fill this up and I'll give you the key for one of our empty rooms."
I glanced at the book and the pen that she have placed beside my arm. This is not the first time I've done this sort of routine in hotels or cabins in the human world so I did not hesitate to wrote down my name and the other informations that the book required.
"How much will it be?".
I asked after putting back the book in front of her and moving my hands to open my purse and looked for the few bills I have inside.
"Oh, not much if only you are staying for one night".
She mentioned the amount and I gave her the money. The old woman smiled and took the money from my hand. Then she turned around to looked for the keys to the room I'm renting.
"Here you go, young lady. By the way, free breakfast is ready at eight in the morning and you can stay until twelve noon so just come down to the dining hall when you wake up and enjoy our free buffet."
"Really?, wow that's really lovely. Thank you."
I grab the keys from her hand while glancing at the open door not far from her counter. I could tell that it leads to the dining hall base on the smell of food coming from the air inside it.
"You're welcome and the room for you is upstairs to the right, number three."
I nod my head and walked calmly to the log stairway. I could feel the presence of another people inside the cabin. The place is smaller compared to any other places where I have been but I guess it is alright for the evening.
I sighed when I came to the upper floor and heard the rustle of people staying near in the room next to mine.
Great!.. I mumbled softly while listening to their muffled voices against my sensitive hearing. They were a man and woman, probably a couple.
I inserted the key inside the locked door and opened it slowly.
The room smelled of old wood and a little musty. It's nothing like the citrus-kissed kind of scent I get everytime I walked in to my luxury apartment at the city. The room have a single bed with floral printed sheets and covers that matches the curtains too. I put my purse at the small table beside the bed and looked around the room.
The small door which I'm guessing is the bathroom is located in the corner. The dresser beside the bed showed a clear reflection of myself standing awkwardly near the bed. I wonder how this room is even smaller than the room of the servants living at the Langstone Palace.
*Princess Jasmin*I didn't know how i did it but i managed to survived the night in that small room of the log cabin. I woke up thirty minutes before eight in the morning, just before breakfast time
*Alpha Zero*Just by knowing the name of the place "Wolf's Lair" reminds me of the rogues. I know we will encounter some enemies today, and my heart is boiling with annoyance as to the cause of this
*Princess Jasmin*I woke up after a few hours of sleep in the back seat of the car, and feeling really thankful that the pain on my neck no longer exist. But it was rather replaced with the rumbling of my stomach. I opened my eyes and looked around, the coldness of the atmosphere have made it through the insides of my clothes.The man beside me, Alpha Zero is just sitting back and i am not sure if he is sleeping or just relaxing. But I'm hoping he is not awake to hear the embarrassing noise that my stomach has created.The memory of his tongue and lips grazing on my neck is vividly replaying inside my mind. Even though I know that he did it only prevent the infection of the cuts that i received from the claws of that filthy rogue. But it did something more to me, making me feel my blood rising inside my viens and my heart hammering inside my chest. The sensation on the pit of my stomach was extr
*Alpha Zero*After she washed up in the icy cold water of the stream, we went back to the car near the road. I saw Derek gently tapping his fingers on the steering wheel, a habit he does when he's bored. But he was suddenly alert when he saw us coming. I heard the door click unlocked, then I took a slight turn of my head to make sure that the Princess is following behind me."Time to shift back Princess."I effortlessly spread my paws and bend down slightly to return back into my human form. My transformation is always quick and easy. I waited for a few seconds to passed but I didn't hear any crackling of her bones. While I stand there naked near the door of the car, her wolf form stood still looking at me."Princess, I know you enjoyed the view but you need to shift back too. What's keeping you?"I tried to hide my irritation with a slight teasing on my voice."I...i, don't have a change of c
*Princess Jasmin*After an hour and a half, we arrived at a village in the north. "Welcome to the Cold Mountain Pack Princess Jasmin. These are the pack houses. Soon we will arrive in Alpha's house, I hoped you will like it."I took a glance at Beta Derek who's talking while he is driving the car slowly on the road. The houses that we have passed by seemed to be in uniform sizes and style. But they looked decent enough for a place that's too far away from the city and even twice as far away from the Palace where I lived."Thank you, but you know what they say. It's not the house that matter's, it's the people that’s living inside”.Beta Derek nod his head and smiled at me through the rearview mirror. Alpha Zero on the other hand moved in the chair beside him and moved his head back at me. I felt the jolt of my heart inside my chest when his handsome face meet my gaze. One of his eyebrow is slightly arched upward.
*Princess Jasmin*I couldn't remember at what time i have fallen asleep that evening but i was exhausted after settling my things in the room. Ayah was nice enough to help me with my clothes and everything was in order when I've thought about an issue that I've been thinking since I came, so I asked her about who's going to cook in the house since i never do well in the kitchen. Aside from frying and making sandwiches I haven't had a chance to really cook, Kiera was the one who prepares my food.Ayah told me that Alpha Zero will talk to me in the morning so i just took a bath and get ready to bed. My thoughts was occupied by him and the things we did before coming here. The scenes keep playing on my mind until I drifted off to sleep.I am sure it's already morning when I felt a strong presence of someone inside my room. The heat of his gaze forced me to open my eyes."Good morning Princess! Good to see that you've s
*Princess Jasmin*After breakfast, I went upstairs in my room to topped a thick gray sweater over my white shirt since I figured it would be cold in the place where we were going. I kept my skin tight blue jeans on and put the only boots I have taken from my wardrobe in the palace for my feet, an ankle high gray boots. And waited for a couple of minutes when I heard the knocks on the door."Let's go Princess, I don't have all day."I couldn't decide which is more sexy when I opened my door and saw him standing in front of me. His thick leather jacket over a gray shirt, a dark scarf and a raw edge jeans that hugged his muscled tights perfectly and a slick pair of boots his overall sexy appearance or his baritone voice. My eyes roamed all over him, unaware of the looked he gave me back."S-sure!" My reply was short and and defensive. When our eyes meet, I noticed how he blinked slowly
*Alpha Zero*"My wolves of the Cold Mountain Pack, we are assembled here today to welcome the presence of the Alpha King's sister, Princess Jasmin of the Royal Pack!"There were soft whispers that I heard in the air after announcing the main purpose of our pack's meeting. My warriors showed their respect by slightly bowing their heads towards us while the she wolves had their eyes wide open and a few of them are whispering words with each other."She will be staying with us for months, to get a special training and to learn our ways. If she have any questions regarding our pack rules, please enlighten her. These have made our alliance to the Alpha King stronger, making us always indispensable against our enemies."I specially turned my gaze towards her while she is smiling and looking at the crowd. I admire how she held herself with ease and with grace even at a place where she only knew a few number of people. She
