witchcraft

C.J.'s P.O.V.
Once the redhead had told me that the owner of my mate’s jacket was inside of the building, my wolf went wild. And I needed to calm myself down, in order to not shift inside this damn nightclub. My eyes scanned all over the room, hoping to find an answer to at least one of the million questions that were floating around in my head.
Was Amanda still alive?
Why am I feeling the mate bond so much stronger than before?
Why here?
Why not in my own pack?
I turned towards the bar and was storming off towards the restrooms, when, all of a sudden, I saw her!
I gasped, as I took in her beauty. And in a daze, I made my way closer to her through the thick crowds. There was this unknown warmth that invaded my heart slowly, as I never took my eyes off of her, making me wonder if it probably just wasn’t the alcohol that started to work on my body. Every time I saw a piece of her, my breathing hitched even harder. She had gorgeous platinum blonde hair that reached her shoulders and that was bouncing playfully as she danced to the music, eyes blue as ice, eyes that I wanted to drown in. She was wearing a dress that made me want to fall down to the floor and worship her body like a damn Goddess. My eyes wandered down her neck and shoulders, as I took in her pale skin. Making me wonder if she wasn’t the outdoor type, or she just didn’t like to sunbathe like all other girls her age did. It was only then that I saw another man pulling her back, so she was standing flush against him. And without knowing it, I gritted my teeth, as my wolf Echo lost his last piece of self-control.
THAT MOTHERFUCKER IS TOUCHING WHAT IS OURS!!!
She turned around, and even though she didn’t look at me, I saw her eyes widening in fear, making me lose my mind even more. I needed to get to her, I needed to protect her! I saw her lips moving, as she was saying something that I wasn’t able to hear, since she was still standing too far away from me, and the music was blasting throughout the building, but she started to walk away, leaving the male alone, while he looked angry because she stood him up. And I could practically hear his ‘f**k’ all the way from where I was standing. Little did he know, I had reached him just then, and I smashed my full fist into his face, making his body smack down to the floor.
“She’s MINE, you little piece of s**t!” I growled, as I leaned in to the scared little wolf that was lying on the dance floor, his hand covering his bloody face. Gasps and a few screams filled the air around me. Before anyone could intervene, however, I was already walking again, following this girl that had me in her grip. I had seen her step towards the exit, I had to find her outside. I just had to!
But how on earth was this even possible?
How could I feel so possessive over this girl that I had never seen before?
She couldn’t be my mate
She wasn’t Amanda.
And Amanda was dead. I knew that for certain, I had held her body when she died. I had felt her heart stop and her lungs exhale her final breath. My heart had stopped, the second my mate had died. My life had stopped, the second my mate had died.
Then why had I never felt so alive, as I did right now?
Witchcraft?
It seemed to be the only thing that was making sense right now.
I knew myself, and I knew my feelings for Amanda.
I would never be able to love another, the way that I loved her.
I just couldn’t.
So it had to be witchcraft.
This girl was a witch, and she had me under her spell.
I needed to find her and confront her, make her stop her magic on me and let me live my f*****g life. I ran outside of the club, and sure enough, there she was, walking away from me yet again.
She had wrapped her arms across her chest, and I could tell by the way she was pulling up her shoulders, that she was feeling cold. I wanted to wrap my arms around her and warm her up.
STOP IT CJ!
But still, my feet were running towards her, and when I almost made it to her, her body froze. She must have heard me, or sensed me, since she turned around, and our eyes finally locked.
She blinked a few times, as she looked at me with her big blue eyes, and I was once again perplexed by her beauty. It seemed that the moonlight only made her more beautiful than she already was. She had a small nose and big, round lips, lips that I craved to kiss…
She was fairly small in height, but her body looked like a freaking super model, the girl had all the right curves in all the right places.
Fuck me!
Without being able to control myself, I felt my feet stepping over towards her, only stopping when I was standing right in front of her. Only seeing that she was just too f*****g perfect. I wanted to throw myself on the ground and worship the f*****g ground that she was walking on, and I knew it just wasn’t possible, I knew that something was wrong.
“WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?” I growled at her, and I could tell that my words took her by surprise.
“I didn’t do anything.” she whispered as she shook her head, and I could sense fear in her eyes.
“Your scent, what did you do to it? Is it a potion? Did a witch do this to you? Are you a witch yourself?” My mind was going into overdrive, and I was starting to wonder if it was this girl that was driving me crazy herself, just by looking at me with those eyes.
“I’m sorry, I have to go.” she spoke as she shook her head, already turning around, which took me by surprise, as well as my wolf Echo, whose body just froze at her words.
NO!
She can’t leave!
I can’t let her leave!
She’s MINE
“NO!” I growled at her. And without thinking, I had pulled her to the side, pinning her against a tree. She needed to stay with me, she couldn’t leave me!
“Who the hell are you?” I asked her, I needed to know who she was, I needed to know what the hell was happening to me right now.
“Please, just let me go!” She cried out to me, and I was perplexed at the fear in her voice.
Was she afraid of me?
But my own needs, my own feelings and my own desires, were jumping through the roof right now. My wolf was screaming inside of me, demanding me to claim and mate with this girl standing right in front of me. And I couldn’t deny that I f*****g wanted it too.
I wanted her
I wanted her so desperately.
I took one step closer, as I pressed my body up against hers, and besides the sigh I heard coming out of her perfect mouth, I felt so f*****g complete, standing there with her in my arms. I felt whole, I felt at home.
I pressed my nose into the crook of her neck, as I let myself get sucked into her lavender scent, the best f*****g scent in the whole world.
~This isn’t witchcraft CJ, this is her own scent, this is our true mate.~ My wolf Echo nodded at me, as I sighed out and trailed my lips against her bare skin.
Fuck me, I want to claim her!
“Stop, I don’t even know your name.” she spoke, out of nowhere, as she gently pushed my body back, so she could look at me. Making my wolf whimper at the loss of body contact.
“CJ, Alpha CJ, Alpha of the Yukan pack.” I brought out in a hoarse voice, trying to control myself and my wolf, to not launch myself back on her. Because if I did, I would lose all of my control, of that I was sure.
“Do you feel it too? The mate bond?” She asked me out of nowhere, snapping me out of my dreamy state. Yes, I can feel it. Yes, Echo agrees, but still… I couldn’t.
I couldn’t believe it.
This couldn’t be real.
This was all fake, it just had to be.
“Yes, I can feel it, but I know for a fact that it isn’t true.” I spoke, as I shook my head, I needed to stay strong. I was a faithful mate, I would never treat my mate like that.
I would never treat Amanda like that.
I saw the hurt in the girl’s eyes, and all I could do was laugh, this whole situation was just one sick joke to be honest. It was so dumb, it couldn’t even be real. It had to be some sort of a setup.
And whoever was doing this...they would not win.
“I know for a fact that you are not my mate, because I already have a mate, which makes you a witch or you are friends with a really good one, so you will tell me now what the f**k it is that you are doing to me, or I swear to the Moon Goddess…” And I let my rage fill me up, the rage I held in myself, for even thinking about another woman, while I clearly wasn’t over Amanda’s death yet, rage over my wolf Echo, who was roaring at me that what I was doing right now was so wrong. And rage at this girl, because she was looking at me as if she was afraid of me.
You made me do this!
You made me lose control!
I was surprised as I heard my Beta Zach’s voice, calling out to me. I turned to face him, and just as I did, I felt the girl taking a run for it, as her heels started to run over the concrete of the empty streets. I wanted to go after her, I wanted to demand that she would lift her magic, that she would stop this spell. But I never got the chance, since Zach stopped me by pulling me back.
“CJ, don’t!” He spoke to me, sounding very serious. Making me growl at him, as his words made me angry once again.
“I need to talk to her!” I growled, wanting to pull myself loose from his grip.
“No bro, what you need to do is relax, we are in another pack. If you lose control again, that could mean war! So come to our room, get some f*****g sleep, and tomorrow when you have cooled down a bit, and you still want to talk to her, I will even help you find her.” I swallowed as I looked at my Beta. And after five seconds of thinking, I slowly nodded my head.
“Fine.” I growled, as I started to walk with Zach in the direction of the Alpha’s house, where we were staying in one of the guestrooms.
Not that I was about to get any sleep.
I felt like I was about to go crazy inside this f*****g Hyle pack.
