You Kissed My Soul

Dylan Pov

"Is everything ready for the ceremony?" I asked Cole who was busy going through some stacks of papers probably a list.

“Yes Alpha” he said and handed me the paper.

"What is it?" I asked scanning through the paper.

"Your sign is needed for allowing every Alpha to enter the Kingdom".

"Okay" I muttered and read the paper. When I was satisfied I put my signature on it and gave it back to him.

“Very well. Now what else?” I asked as I rotated the pen between my fingers.

“No it was all” he said and I nodded looking out of the window to find a dark cloud surrounding my kingdom.

"Strange! It's going to rain I think” I whispered but due to werewolf hearing capability Cole heard me and he hummed in response.

“I don't like this weather” he said and I nodded in agreement.

“Where is Blake?" I asked as I looked towards him.

“He is on patrolling”.

"King!" suddenly I heard Blake's voice trying to connect me in my mind.

“King” he called again.

“What's wrong Blake?” I asked sitting attentively on my seat.

“I think there is something wrong” he said and I saw Cole giving me a questioning look. He was too in the mind link and he could hear everything that Blake said.

"What do you mean?” Cole asked through the mind link.

“I was patrolling through this area near to the stream when I sensed something weird” Blake responded and the way he said I knew there was really something disturbing.

"What type of weird thing?” I asked

"When I was passing by the streams I felt as if I was being watched. So I stopped in my track and looked around for anything suspicious but found none. So at first I shrugged it off thinking I was just being paranoid or something but then..”

“Then what?" Cole asked looking impatient.

“Then when I went towards the stream to drink water I sensed someone behind me but as soon as I turned around I found no one. But the weird part is I smell bloody rusty smell near this area. I have checked each and every corner here but I found nothing suspicious but still it's like mind is telling me that something is wrong in here. My wolf seems agitated all of a sudden”.

I stood up from my seat feeling panicked " Cole where is Aderyn?” I asked with worry filled in my voice. Suddenly I wanted to see my mate. The feeling was killing me. I was being anxious all of a sudden. I was being anxious to avoid any trouble.

“She is outside” he said as he walked towards the window to look out.

"With whom?” I asked as panicked filled my emotions and my wolf paced around agitated. We both were feeling uneasy now.

"With no one” I didn't even let him finish because the very next moment I used all my strength to reach Aderyn wherever she was.

“Alpha!” I knew Cole was behind me but I didn’t even bother to pay attention to his words because I was concentrating somewhere else. My Aderyn.

“Surround and put guards everywhere near the house” was all I said to Cole before running in all my strength leaving him behind.

"Aderyn!” I called in relief when I found her sitting on the chair in the lawn reading a book. She looked up at me and smiled but gave me a confused look when she saw me looking restless.

I sighed in relief and slowly walked towards her.

"What's wrong?” she asked when I sat next to her.

“Nothing” I smiled and took a strand of her hair curling it between my fingers.

“Liar! Tell me what's wrong. I can feel some strange agitated emotions inside me and I know it's not mine. It's your right?” she asked tilting her head to a side.

“That was right. She could feel my emotions just like I could feel hers. Maybe I should tell her. But she may freak out” I thought but regretted soon when she gave me a narrowed eyes look.

“Tell me what?” she asked because she heard my thoughts.

"You are so stupid, I swear” Black growled at me.

"Umm it's nothing” I said and looked around trying to sense for any threats or anything mischievous. When I found none I got up from my seat and looked down at her.

“Aderyn just know this” I said as I kept my hand on her head.

“I love you and I will go to any extent for keeping you safe okay?”

She smiled at me and nodded.

"Okay now please go inside and don't come out of the house until I tell you to” I said and hoped for her not to argue on this.

Surprisingly she didn’t. Perhaps her sensing my emotions made her cautious.

"Dylan is everything alright?” she asked looking little worried.

“Don’t worry, I promise I will make everything alright if it not” I said and leaned down to peck her forehead.

She exhaled a breath but nevertheless got up.

“Are you going somewhere?”

"Hmm. Don't wait for me. I may take time” I said and looked towards the woods but what I heard made my heart flutter.

“I would wait no matter what” was what she thought in her mind.

"What?" she asked confused as to why I was staring at her.

“You know what?” I said not able to held back my emotions I engulfed her into a tight hug.

“It will be more overwhelming if I hear that coming out from your mouth. But I am happy that at least I'm in your thoughts” I said and she finished “Every time” in her mind. It made me even more happy.

“Ugh! How do I stop it?" she said as she pushed me away hiding her face using her palm flustered and embarrassed.

"At least you can pretend that you didn’t hear anything” she whined and turned around walking towards the house. I chuckled at her reaction and waited till she reached the door. But before she entering she turned to look at me and narrowed her eyes and shook her head childishly before getting back inside.

I smiled at her and after knowing that she was safe I turned towards the woods.

“Time to take care of your duties Black” I said and jumped into the air shifting into my wolf.

“I know" he said and shook his head before running into the woods towards Blake.

It took us fifteen minutes to reach where Blake was. We would have reached him in seconds but we decided to monitor each and every place on our way for anything suspicious. Black was always strict on this type of matter.

It was the same place where I found Aderyn the last time she tried to escape.

“King” Blake bowed seeing Black and Black nodded walking towards the stream.

"Shift!" Black asked Blake looking towards the stream.

In seconds he shifted into his wolf and the wolf shook its head to dust its fur.

“I sense something unusual” Black growled twitching it's ear not liking it.

“Me too" Darroy Blake's wolf said as it looked around with it's ear forward occasionally twitching it. Black walked towards the stream and looked into the water. The water seemed normal but if it wasn't for my power I would have thought the same misunderstanding it as normal.

"A strange but familiar essence” Black growled as it leaned down and sniffed the water.

“I smell Blood” he growled even more and looked up and gave out a long angry how.

"King!" Darroy whimpered lowering it's body and looked at Black with it's dilated pupil tucking it's tail between it's leg. It even had it's ear back showing submission.

Black began to loosen up a little seeing Darroy’s condition but remained feeling uneasy as it's thoughts remained flowing back to it's mate's safety.

“Cole!” Black called in mind.

“Yes Alpha!” came an instant reply from Cole.

“Keep an eye on the perimeter and alert everyone. Something is off. Until I find it ask everyone to stay inside the house and also ask alert Bell and Jenny to guard Aderyn. No one except for them is to allowed near Aderyn until I ask for it” Black said and Cole said a “Yes” before doing as he was told to do.

“Lily!” Black mind linked Lily and immediately a startled “Yes Alpha” came as a reply.

“Guard your Queen from distance” Black ordered and heard her “Yes” before disconnecting the link. “Should we cancel the ceremony?” Darroy asked to which Black growled lowly.

“No. The ceremony will be held tomorrow. It will be better if we get the other wolves knowing about there Queen. They will join and will want to keep their Queen safe which will be good for the Kingdom and as well as Aderyn.”

“But before that” Black closed it's eye gathering all the elemental power he had.

“I need to purify this place” he said and opened it's eyes which were now turned into red glowing ones and as soon as it's eyes opened a wave of power hit the place surrounding the wood and nearby.

“Purify” Black howled and the power stroke the wood and the stream in lightening speed cocooning the area into a wave of sound and light purifying the air.

A gash formed on Black's paw for using so much strength in one motion. It lowered it's head and licked it's nozzle before huffing and panting lightly.

"Are you alright King?" Darroy asked as it sat on it's hind leg looking worried.

“I will be when I find the source” Black said in his thicker beastly tone before standing straight with it's head high.

"And when I find it" Black's red eyes glowed with anger “I will shred it into pieces destroying it for even thinking of to intrude into my territory.”
