The Alpha Warrior King

A Younger Version Of Himself

"Am your mate, your lover, your soul mate."

Instead of words leaving his mouth, his lips find hers and they speak a language of their own as his eyes fully close in pleasure. This is his first kiss and he is so glad he waited. He didn't even realise he was waiting until now. No girl had simply moved him enough for him to want them the way he desires her.

The taste in his mouth is like sweet heaven and he can't seem to get enough. His lips move ever so slowly over hers arousing a deep need in him for her and with every movement he feels her hold get tighter.

He cups her cheeks tighter liking how she is responding to his kiss. The feel of her soft warm lips on his is everything he imagined and more. He now understands why he was never moved to date any girl. Just like the attraction he has had for Naya her kisses set him on fire with equal intensity too. He is totally lost in what she is giving him with no way of finding his way back. This is more than bliss. This moment is epic.

He pulls back for some much needed air and one look into her eyes has him biting his own lips afraid of losing control. The shine and shimmer in them is the most alluring sight he has ever seen and the invitation they are giving him threatens his restraint because at the moment all he wants is to devour her whole.

He has never felt more alive than he feels now.

Her answer just stired something deep within him and he finds himself radiating with pride.

While he doesn't completely understand what she just said, hearing those words from her has his heart bursting with joy. To him, having her declare that she is his and with so much conviction makes him want to fly, to soar all the way to the heavens in happiness. He feels like shouting it on top of the world that the most beautiful angel belongs to him.

He reaches for her hands and and places some feather light kisses on them. His eyes are on her all the time while he remains speechless.

He can't seem to wrap his head around this moment.

On top of the fire burning within him and all the pleasure from even one simple contact of their skin, he feels like all the pieces to his life are finally falling into place. He knows so little about her and even if she attempted to kill him a moment ago he finds himself making a decision that would sound crazy to someone who is not in his position. He realises that no matter how much he loves this place his heart is with her. The familiar connection he felt with her has grown stronger and it's like he is being pulled towards it more than ever before. He has many questions bubbling within him and he has no idea where to start

"Breakfast is ready!"

He laughs at the sound of his mother's voice coming through the door. It's not just meant to inform them about breakfast but he is sure it's also to let them know she is out there incase the two of them were busy in his room.

'Thanks mom." He calls back while his eyes remain on Naya.

"Shall we eat?" He figures as important as their conversation is, keeping his mother waiting is like inviting her back in which would turn out to be the same thing. He gets up from the floor were they have been sitting all this time and he stretches out his hand to help her up.

She smiles up at him and stretches out her own hand but the moment he holds it, his room suddenly becomes brighter than usual.

He frowns as he looks around wondering what just happened because he doesn't remember having any automatic lighting in it.

His eyes fall on what he can clearly see as a different room altogether. There is what looks like a baby's crib floating about and its golden colour is brightly shining, illuminating the entire place. Xander blinks so many times trying to see if what he is seeing is real and each time he looks back he sees the same thing. It's gently moving by itself up and down mimicking a rocking chair almost as if it were magical. He hears giggles of an infant coming from it and he goes to take a peek.

On a white feather like blanket he finds a beautiful young child that is busy kicking his legs up and down in happiness. Strangely enough Xander feels a rather strong connection to it that is even stronger than his connection to Naya.

There are long raven locks of hair that seem not to have ever met a razor spread around the baby's head with a nose that is covered with a few freckles making him appear adorable.

The baby's eyes though are what draws him even closer. They are of a deep royal blue and they are glistening like sapphires.

They remind him of his own that look exactly the same. If he didn't know better he would think he is looking at his own eyes right about now. And now that he thinks about it they also share the same hair colour and those freckles seem to be concentrated almost in the same place as his. His hand moves to touch his nose as he wonders if maybe he is looking at a younger version of himself because the twinkling of the child's eyes in different shades with every emotion is very much like his. He is about to go even closer when a voice grabs his attention.

"Hello sweetheart"

Xander looks up and finds a woman who looks very much like Naya walking into the room. It takes him a moment to realize its not her.

She is taller than Naya, with a medium build and heavily pregnant. Long white hair that has a tinge of silver in it covers her head as it flows all the way down to her waist. Her fair skin is showing off her undeniable beauty and Xander instantly feels a connection with her too. This is the same person he has seen in his other visions except today she is seems not to be talking to him, it's more like he is here to just observe.

He sees her walk to the crib and pick up the little boy. His heart feels warm when he sees the happiness on the woman's face when she holds the little boy in her arms. The little boy gives her a toothy grin too and they both seem lost in a world of their own. The love flowing between them is so clear for anyone to see.

"Aren't you a little sweetheart" The woman rubs the little boy's cheeks and he just waves his rattle in happiness. The entire scene is so captivating to Xander and he can't help but desire to be part of their little world.

"Now let aunty Audrey read you your favourite story hmmmm?"

Xander sees her reach for a book on one of the shelves and sits down comfortably on a nearby chair ready to read and he also finds himself wanting to listen.

"Once upon a time..."

Her sudden stop in the middle the sentence has Xander look at her and he finds her with a hard look on her face pointed at a certain spot in the room. He frowns when he sees nothing there.

"Show yourself"

The strength and authority in that voice shakes even Xander and he wonders if it's coming from the same sweet woman he just witnessed a moment ago.

But when the room still stays quiet Xander wonders if she can tell he is there and those words are meant for him.

He gulps when he sees her draw her weapon. Never in his life had he seen such a powerful pregnant woman. He is so mesmerized to see the transformation from what he would call a sweet mother to a dangerous warrior in the blink of an eye.

"I said show yourself" Her voice is now threatening and he himself shifts in his position still unsure if she is talking to him.

A little shuffling catches Xander's attention and he notices that the woman has caught it too. His eyes widen when out of thin air appears a man covered in neatly designed tattoos. While Xander looks at the woman in fear this man's look holds no indication of fear as he just stares at her. Xander's eyes goes from the woman to the man and he feels like standing between them to protect them but he realises this is not his reality.

"How did you get in here" The woman asks in a menacing tone and gets in what Xander can see as a defensive position.

"Guards!" She shouts and Xander's eyes go to the door in anticipation as this looks like some action in one of his movies.

"Am not here for you" The man's answer makes Xander turn back to the duo.

"Just give me the young child and you won't be harmed" The man says as his eyes go past her to the crib.

"And why would I do that?"

Xander can see the woman weigh her options as she obviously waits for her back up.

But the stranger seems to catch on quickly and makes his move so quickly that Xander almost misses it. Without warning he shapeshifts into a large bird and quickly flies towards the crib but the most majestic creature appears from nowhere and shields the entire crib with its wings. In a moment everything becomes quiet.

Xander however is awestruck at the silvery angel that now stands in the same place that the woman occupied. He only knows its her when he catches her eyes as she tries to look around for the attacker.

"My lady"

A guard's voice makes both to turn towards the door.

"Shapeshifters" is all the woman says as she hurries out of the room carrying the young child.

Xander quickly tries to follow too but finds the door she left through locked.

"Audrey!" he tries to call after her but the moment he blinks he is back in his own room again where he finds both Naya and his mother looking down at him. And the look on Naya's face strikes a chord deep within him that has nothing to do with his attraction to her and he wonders why.
