The Alpha and His Cursed Princess

Chapter 16

After closing her eyes for some time Amelia opened her eyes and stared out of the window hesitantly and she could feel her skin prickle.

Was someone watching her? There she automatically shifted towards Archie. No, no, no  she shouldn’t be watching him she shook her head and disciplining herself not to glance his way, She closed her eyes again.

“Are you still very tired?”

Archie's voice made her jump and the shawl which was on her lap slid from her lap onto the floor. She scrambled for it but the seat belt held her fast and helplessly she watched his lean hand pick up the shawl from the carpet and  put it on the seat beside her.

“You can go and use the  bedroom over there to rest.” his voice was level as he nodded towards the door of the cabin. “You will be more comfortable there and you can stretch your body.”

She was happy because the thought of him watching her while she slept in the seat was unbearably intimate, she nodded and unfastened her belt, only to stagger slightly when she stood up and the plane shook a little.

Looking at her nervous face Archie's eyes narrowed and his hand shot out to hold her shoulder. “It's alright we're crossing the borders and this is a minor turbulence, as soon as we hit certain altitude things will settle down.”

Automatically Amelia straightened herself. “I am not afraid, but thank you,” she said. “I just wasn't expecting it. And you know what happened a while ago so I was a little bit nervous.”

Archie loosened his grip on her. “OK, are you feeling better now?”

“Yes I am fine and please don't worry.” Amelia was sad she knew he must have been worried about her for the way she had behaved sometime ago.

She headed across to the room, running away from him to put some distance and a barrier in between them. His touch had disturbed her brain and alerted an unknown hidden pleasure point in her body, sending secret pulses of sensation through every cell. Does this happen when a person is getting more attracted towards a person or when he or she is very desperate for a companion? she wondered.

If this uncontrollable response were desire, she not only did not know how to deal with it, she found it downright embarrassing.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to control her hormones and she shut the door behind her. The huge bed was luxurious the cabin was decorated very elegantly with subtle colors, which suited the man’s taste but the lights were too lazy and, the soft luxurious bed was very tempting. Amelia’s gaze was fixed into the soft pillows that were calling her temptingly.

But more alluring, more compelling was that unbidden hunger for something she had never experienced, something she was afraid of the reckless, dangerously fascinating clamor of her body for a fulfillment she did not dare seek.

“Amelia Alexandra start behaving yourself and don’t daydream or it will be very difficult for you to breath,” she told herself beneath her breath. She sat down and threw her shoes away then swung up her legs. But as her eyes closed she found herself wondering how many were women  had shared this bed with Archie.

Archie on the other hand saw her stiff figure running away into the room and wondered am I scary or she is trying to run away from me.

“The first one, you are scary !” Caper exclaimed and Archie stifled a laugh not allowing anyone to mock him making fun of his wolf.

“Buddy aren’t you too soft !” He drawled.

“Yeah I know I am,” Casper said happily.

“Yeah right, that’s why you made me rip off that layman’s leg the previous year just because you couldn’t control yourself. He was just trying to cross the border for heaven’s sake.” Archie said unhappily as he remembered the unpleasant incident.

“Who told him to come across the pack house when we were having serious training? Humans are not allowed to see it and he came out of nowhere so I thought he must be a spy. You know how bad wolves try to attack a rich kingdom and taken over . Remember  when Halland was taken over by the treacherous wolves but thankfully the government took over but it destroyed the stability of the Mystic pack when Alpha Curtis and his wife were killed. The whole pack was scattered and they shifted to different locations. And I don’t want anything to happen  in our peaceful kingdom.” Casper warned him. You get too emotional when it comes to the human side you need to be stronger Archie.”

Archie had a smile on his face as his wolf was very sensible and protective of him but sometimes he overreacted. Just like that time the previous year when the poor man would have been killed by him because of his recklessness.

That reminded him of Lucas and he wondered whether  Amelia knew that her bother was a werewolf? And somehow he was sure she knew or why would Lucas build up his army. What was his purpose? There were so many questions in his head and he wanted to ask her but he was sure she would deny it.
