The Alpha Warrior King

Her Man..His Woman

Naya smiles at his question. She had forgotten that she was no longer in Dome and that out here many things would be different even the simplest of things to them. A look into his deep blue sapphires pulls her in instantly making her shiver. The feeling gives her an idea of the perfect way to explain to him and she is about to when her eyes fall on the cut on his neck and her smile disappears. The trail of blood from it all the way to his clothes takes her back to a few moments ago.

What was she thinking?

Xander had just been gone for a few minutes and she was laying back on the bed smiling when an image of Dome crossed her mind. She could see her beloved kingdom covered in blood, darkness and chaos. A very familiar face was looking at her with sadness in his eyes. Her conversation with her father was so vivid it was like she was still standing face to face with him when he gave her the mission. When she thought back to why she was here she panicked. What if she was too late? She had already witnessed many kingdoms fall because of one simple enemy and she was not going to let that happen to her own.

Her heart was already bitter when she thought back to her mate. The thought of her being here in love with him and Dome being in danger did not sit well with her. She could never forgive herself if her people died because she decided to hold on to one man. A man that she knew with no doubt in her mind and heart that he was her everything even before they met. Just the few minutes he was away was like a full years worth of struggling with her own heart. She was torn between being loyal to her heart or to her people and her father.

Her kingdom was losing until her warrior side kicked in. She convinced herself that duty must always come first just as she had been taught all the years of her life.

She knew about duty very well and she had done many things out of it but when she had found her blade and picked it up, it felt like the heaviest thing she had ever held in her life. Her beloved weapon that she had handled so many times before and had literally become a part of her felt like it was betraying her.

Her heart was breaking deep inside but no matter how painful it was her head told her this had to be done. And so she lay in wait for him and the moment he walked out she jumped on him. It should have been quick like many times before. By the time he was hitting the ground he should have been nothing but a corpse in her hands but the moment her skin felt his, she hesitated. It was like his soul kissed hers so desperately it made her skilled hand malfunction.

For the first time her hand that had expertly taken many lives before with no problem shook. In that moment she knew with everything in her that she would never be able to do it. When he asked her what she was doing failure stared her right in the face and her father's disappointment registered in her head so she tried again and pushed the sharp blade right back in. The moment it pierced his skin she too felt the sharp pain in her neck at the exact same place her blade was on his. Neither flinched from the pain though but Naya was shocked at that encounter because it felt as though the blade had been right on her own neck. She didn't have a moment to ponder on it before Xander flipped them and she found herself lost in those beautiful eyes with what just happened far from what she was thinking. She had realized already just how much his presence changes her world. Sometimes like in that moment it was only him and her with all the evils of the world long forgotten.

"No"

"What?"

There is panic in his voice at her answer but she can't bring herself to tell him who she is to him or who he is to her.

"I don't know you."

She shakes her head as she moves away from him making the gap between them bigger. Dread fills her when she realizes that this beautiful creature will reject her after what she just tried to do. What kind of mate is she? Duty on or not how could she try to kill her own mate that she has waited for her entire lifetime? Its a wonder he hasn't already thrown her out. She wants to get far away from him. But as if he knows exactly what she is thinking he moves closer to her closing up the wide gap that she had just created.

"It's not true."

The firmness of his voices surprises her.

"How would you know?"

"Because of this..."

He moves closer and puts his hand on her cheek and immediately she reacts to his touch and because of his closeness and the deep tone in his voice she almost jumps from where she is sitted. Its a fact she would never ever be able to deny whichever world they found themselves in. He is her man and she is his woman.

"Tell me...What is the meaning of this?"

He moves closer and she finds herself trapped between him and the hard wall. His body heat engulfing her entirely and she finds herself looking up to him searching for her blue treasures that were meant just for her.

"Tell me please...Because I don't understand it. I have never felt this way about anyone before. This here..."

He grabs her hand and forcefully places it on his chest and she gasps.

"....only came alive the moment I saw you in my dreams and ever since it seems to only beat for you..."

His breath is rugged as it fans her face making her want to take it all in.

"....And I love it. All the things that you make me feel I love it..."

Her eyes stay glued to his as everyone of his confessions makes way for her own.

"...they make me want you more than I have ever wanted anyone or anything in my whole entire life..."

Naya's heart is now bursting with joy. Finally...She found him. The only one whose heart desired only her. Someone who would go to the ends of the world just for her. She is almost crying when she sees the want, the need and everything else that his now blue sapphires which are the deepest shade yet are telling her.

"...please don't tell me you don't know."

His voice is raspy and barely a whisper as he cups her cheeks in both his hands forcing her to look only at him.

"Naya...."

She is undone the moment her name leaves his mouth. She never thought it would ever sound so delicious. Everything that was holding her back suddenly let's her free. She gets a hold of his hands and gives them a rub as she looks deep into his eyes ready to give him what he wants.

"Am your mate, your lover, your soulmate...."
