Charming The Warriors (The Charmer) (31 page)

P
icking up my tray of drinks, I get through the last hour of work.

             
When it is time to leave, I look to see if Den is with the brothers’ counting money at the tables. He must have gone home early, I can’t see him.

             
“Hey Mickey have you seen Den?”

             
“Yeah he left about an hour ago babe.”

             
“Oh ok thanks, see you soon.”

I kiss his cheek saying goodbye, as do Sallack and I say our goodbye's together to the rest of the
brothers’.

              Sallack and I get back to mine. As soon as we are through the door he takes me in his arms and runs upstairs to my bedroom throwing me on the bed slipping my skirt of me then his own trousers, we both whip our tops off and meet in the middle of the bed. Our tongues clash together as excitement fills my senses. making love to Sallack is as bind blowing as the time before. He makes my eyes roll back in my head, although they are closed, and even when it’s over it feels like the beginning. I ride out the waves of ecstasy all night through till morning, stars in your eyes weak legs sort of love, with the man of my dreams and future.

              Waking in Sallack’s arms the next day I lean up on my elbows and kiss along his jaw.

             
“ARRRHHHHHH,” A girl’s screams.

What the hell!!!
We both jump up running to the door, Sallack is butt naked but I wrap the bed sheet around me. The scream comes again, Den’s room! Just before I tell Sallack not to open the door. He is already standing in the middle of the room, naked!

             
OH. MY. GOD. Den has candy riding him like a mechanical bull!

             
“Oh sorry did we wake you. Uh Sallack join in if you like?” Candy asks with her eyes fixed on Sallack’s crutch! While still riding Den! Uh, I’m going to be sick! Den pushes her off and throws a sheet over himself. Wow, he looks amazing. That was a sick thought, what’s wrong with me?

             
“Definitely not!” Sallack tells her, turning me around from looking at Den in all his glory.

Den
and I lock eyes for a split second, his face is full of regret and something else, but before I can work it out Sallack turns me around walking to my bedroom.

             
“I Was not expecting that!” He says with a laugh.

             
“That’s Den!” I say deadly serious.

              Sallack and I sit on the porch, me with tea and him with coffee, when Den walks out holding Candy’s hand smiling at her. How can he like her? She’s horrible!

             
“Hello Zara, Sallack!”

             
“Hello candy, it’s nice to see you…in clothes!” I say to her, Sallack beside me burst’s into laugher. I love hearing his deep laugh. I see a hint of a smile from Den, Candy on the other hand looks pissed, Oh well.

             
She takes a seat on the step beside Sallack making small talk; I see Ruk in Wolf form by the edge of the woods, looking upon us. I wonder what he thinks of her, he is a good judge of character.

             
“You guys aren’t at work today, right?” Candy asks.

For the love of God,
do not answer Sallack? I can see where this is going.

             
“No. it’s our day of rest.” He pulls me tighter around the waist and kisses my head. He’s so sweet. I’m so in love with this man, but he has just dropped us right in at the deep end!

             
“Its settled then double date, 7 tonight at Walker’s, right baby?” She asks Den. Baby! Uh, No way in hell am I sitting to eat dinner with her, with all the weapons on the table.

             
“Yeah sounds good to me.” Den replies with a smile.

Hu
h! Did Den just really say that? What is wrong with him?

Sallack shrugs his shoulders not wanting to hurt
Den’s feelings, I sigh loudly, to get my feelings known.

             
“If it makes Den happy.” I say around my cup to stop me yelling. NOOOO!

             
“So what are you going to wear, it’s Kinda posh there. Will you be able to find something in time? Hey maybe you should put a little make-up on, try to look good for your man?”

What a Bitch!
Sallack goes stiff beside me, trying hard to suppress a growl, from her attitude towards me. I place my hand on his leg giving him a wink before turning to Candy with a raised eyebrow.

             
“Uh hu, maybe I should start head butting chalk boards and look like you?”

Sallack and
Den both snort a laugh, while candy kills Den with her eyes.

             
“Ok, come on Candy I’ll drop you back home.” Den tells her now looking miserable.

             
They finish their coffees quickly, heading off hand in hand! How the hell am I going to do this tonight, even worse I really do need to find something to wear. I’ll show her how to dress!

             
“Beautiful we don’t have to go, I can tell Den something’s come up?”

             
“Ah that’s sweet, but it fine. Hey we have all day, you fancy coming up stairs Alpha?”

T
he growl in his throat is the only indication I need. Getting up I run to the stairs, only making 3 steps before I’m thrown over his shoulder and heading straight to bed, laughing hard.

Chapter
23

Pure heaven, that’s what it like being with Sallack, He has to be my chosen I feel so much love for him. He does things to me that bring me pleasure that’s unspeakable. I want to be with him until the day I die. He is the one. We are meant to be.

              Sallack walks into my bedroom after going home to get changed, he wears a white shirt and black dress pants, the white of his shirt makes his skin look even more tanned, and his longish hair is brushed back. Wow! Just wow.

             
“You look amazing Sallack. I am the luckiest girl alive.”

             
“I love you Zara.”

He says sweetly looking at me from head to toe, I spin around to show him the whole
outfit, just as I face him his lips are lightly touching mine and his hands are all over me.

             
“I want you so bad. Never in my life have I seen beauty like yours Zara. I do not deserve you” He says against my lips, sending shivers down my spine. I take hold his face in my hands.

             
“I love you Sallack with everything I am.”

             
The dress I have picked for tonight is gold sequin with short sleeves, with a v-neck showing the roundness of my breast. The back, well there is no back, It is my favorite dress. I have on black 4-inch open toed shoes and a small clutch bag. I have worn my hair up in a big bun on my head. Unlike Candy’s clown face, I put on mascara, blush and a lip-gloss, I feel good, sexy.

              We pull up outside the restaurant and head to the big glass door entrance. Den went to pick Candy up so we will be meeting them inside. It is a very nice place low lights and candles, very romantic. If only it was just us.

             
“Hey guys. Wow Zara you look amazing!”

             
“Thanks Den, you look great to. Candy, love the dress.”

I don’t really
, but the way she is staring at Sallack’s crutch is really pissing me off. She looks up at me shocked. Bingo!

             
“Thank you Zara. You look…um …ok?” she says while looking at me head to toe with a discussed expression.

She is wearing a tiny white dress that
looks as if it has been painted on, and no bra! What a slag. I pick up the menu to hide my face, biting my lip to keep myself from laughing, I know I’m being mean, but she really is a horrid person I can feel it coming off her in thick waves.

             
“What you having babe?” Den asks me.

I lower the menu ha
ving no idea what to say as I only used the bloody thing to shield my laughter. Shit.

             
“Um….Chicken”

             
“Yeah me too, What about you guys?”

Sallack orders steak, while candy orders lobster. Trust her to get the most expensive thing in the menu. Sallack keeps leaning into me kiss
ing me tenderly on the lips, eyes glowing dimly. He’s making me feel warm and loved; unfortunately, Den does not like him doing so, from the low growls he sends our way, which Sallack naturally returns his own. Both men receiving frowns from Candy, as she has no idea we are at a table with two Werewolves. I have no idea what is up with Den tonight. He has been acting so out of character lately.

             
We place our order with the waiter, who keeps staring at me, even asked me what my name is and how much he would like to see me here again. That’s until Sallack gave him a frightening look that could actually kill a man, I swear the waiter gasped! All with Candy’s snide comments, this evening is turning into a nightmare. It really couldn’t get any worse.

             
Yes! yes it really can, Mary has just walked in with a man that looks a little anxious. I wonder if she is mean to him to. Please don’t see us! Please, please. Damn it!

             
“Ah Sallack, where have you been, you said you’d ring baby?”

Sallack beside me has gone so stiff I could easy push him of the chair.

              “Fuck off!”

He growls through his teeth, I look at
Den to see if he knows why Sallack is being so rude to her, he shrugs his shoulders looking back to Sallack’s reaction to Mary.

             
“Well I only wanted to see little Zara here, how are you Hun?”

             
“Im fine.” I tell her with a frown. I haven’t seen Mary since Dallah nearly fried her brain that day she left the pack.

             
“Your better than me, I wouldn’t have taken him back?”

             
“Fuck off, you whore!” Sallack says to her furiously. She doesn’t seem to care! I look at the man standing beside her. As his gaze catches mine, he looks at me apologetically! Why would he look at me like that? What’s going on?

             
“Sallack?” I ask, taking his fisted hand in mine. My heart pounds against my chest. I can tell I’m not going to like this.

             
“I’m so sorry Zara. I love you, I do,” He turns to me with a whisper. That’s all I needed to understand what Mary is talking about.

             
“Yeah if you’re too stupid to realize, I fucked him about a month ago? He wanted one of his own, just like I told you he would!” She says maliciously.

No, it can’t be true, he wouldn’t do it, and I won’t believe it.

              “Tell me she’s lying Sallack, please?” I plead with him. He looks me straight in the eye, and that’s where the betrayal lie’s, in the beautiful glowing gold eyes, of the man whom said he loved me and would never hurt me! My face falls as I feel my heart beating wilding throughout my body. Sallack jumps of his chair hastily. He grabs Mary by the throat, roughly pushing her up against the wall. What looks like 10 or more men rush to pull Sallack off of her as he growls out spiteful threats. He knocks every one of the men away from him to get a better hold of Mary. I just sit there open mouthed while my head spins and my heart pounds so harshly I can feel it in my ears.

             
“This has turned out lovely, don’t you think?” Candy says to me with a big grin covering her face.

             
“Fuck you!” I shout at her angrily.

I look at
Den with tears spilling from my eyes. He jumps out if his seat heading straight to me. looking back to Sallack, I see he still has men trying to be pull him away from Mary. I Stand up, heading over to him, with Den right behind me growling lowly in his throat. I get in Sallack’s face, tears falling freely, my heart feeling like it’s burning out in my chest.

             
“How could you sleep with that?” I point to a smiling Mary, “I love you Sallack, I fucking love you!” I scream at him.

             
“Please Zara let me explain?”

             
“Did you sleep with her that night?”

             
“Yes,” He sighs, releasing Mary and running his hands through his hair. He tries to take me by the waist, but I step out of his reach just as Den comes to my side with a feral growl.

             
“That’s all I need.” I tell him crying to catch my breath from the utter shock of what has happened.

             
“You don’t belong with him; he is too good for a little bitch like you!” Mary say’s looking for a reaction out of me, so that what I’ll give her! I pull my fist back and hit her in between the eyes with a sickening crunch. Where did that come from! Blood pools from her nose as she brings her hands up to her face. I turn back to Sallack, his expression full of pride, but soon turning to sorrow as our eyes lock.

             
“Beautiful?” He says taking my hand.

             
“Don’t you dare!” I say between my teeth as I yank my hand from his.

              I sprint out of the restaurant; all the eyes pinned on me. I can feel Den behind me trying to catch up. I feel sick, I have never in my life felt so sickened by someone’s betrayal. I can’t even speak, Breathe, the pain feels as though it’s killing me from inside out, I hold my chest, bending from the middle of my body, unable to take the excruciating pain in my heart. Why did he do this? he wasn’t meant to hurt me.

             
Just as my legs give way, there is a gust of wind as I’m caught in strong arms and lifted to my feet. Angus! he came to me, I can feel his anguish.

             
“WHO DONE THIS?” Angus shouts fiercely at Den, who is in as much shock as I am. Sallack runs out the restaurant straight to us as Den grabs hold of him, keeping him in place by pushing his weight into Sallack’s chest, while Sallack growls and shakes with rage. He snarls at Angus speaking viciously,

             
“Take your fucking hands of her, I’ll stake you Angus, I swear to it. SHE IS MINE!” Sallack roars.

His
Alpha power surrounding us all as Angus walks up to Sallack without fear, pulls back his fist and strikes him across the chin, knocking him out of Den’s tight grip as we watch him fly into the air and crash onto the pavement a foot away.

             
“Im taking her with me, you will never have her again. Den take him home!” Angus says as he points to Sallack.

Before
Den can disagree, I’m lifted into Angus’s strong arms like a baby. He runs fast over dirt, grass and roads. The pain has now taken me completely, from losing everything I have ever wanted and needed in life. Every dream, every possibility has been ripped from me so harshly.

              I’m placed gently on a bed, I’m not sure where I am but I can feel Angus with me.

             
“Angus?” I choke out, stiffening the sobs that threaten to take me.

             
“My sweet little Zara.”

             
“Why is this happening to me? Please make it untrue, please Angus I need help?” I sob in to the pillow, he picks me up and holds me in his arms.

             
“Tell me what he did?”

             
“He slept… he. No please I don’t want it to be true. I love him. He’s meant to be the one!”

             
“Zara, your pain is so strong. This is not just heart break. It must be because you are a Charmer. I can feel you slipping away. Zara listen to me please. I WILL RIP HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF” He shouts filling the room with his fury.

             
“How am supposed to live without him, Angus. I love him, I gave him everything. It’s all gone. I can’t do this anymore. Please do something I beg you Angus” I ask in vain, no one can take this feeling away. This feeling is unbearable, heartache unimaginable. My sobs echo through the room. I don’t know what to do with my body, lay down? Sit on the floor? Alternatively, just curl up into a ball on the hard floor. The pain is emotional torture. I need Dallah, where is she?

             
I scream so loudly with every built up emotion begging to escape me. My own ears feel like they are bleeding from the high-pitched scream I released. Soon after there is howling, howling like I have never heard before.

             
“I can’t take the pain Zara, if I could I would take it for you.”

I don’t want to hear him speak, as much as I love him
, I can’t listen to his voice. My eyes shut as a whimper knocks the last of the air from me as I’m surrounded in blackness.

              “Zara!”

             
“Dallah?”

             
“Yes, find me sweetie I’m here.”

             
“Dallah, where are you?” I cry.

I see her on a big bed with her arms open to me, I jump to her smothering my face into her body as my heart cripples in pain.

              “Sweetie, you’re a dream walker!” She asks in shock.

             
“Am I?” I say with no enthusiasm at all, tears flowing down my cheeks.

             
“Oh Zara. The pain you feel in your heart is because you’re a Charmer. Your emotions are much more severe than others Zara. You need to get through this. Let the brothers’ love you, feel their love. You need to fight your heart! Your emotions are your downfall, sister. Bring out the survivor the Warrior you have hidden within your overwhelming heartache. You have to for we all love you, sweetie I need you as much as you need me,”

Tears s
tream down her beautiful face. As the sobs take hold of me I find it hard to speak.

             
“I want.. to stay with……. you?”

             
“No sweetie you can’t, you have entered my dreams, you can’t stay here. You need to promise me you will fight the pain. Don’t let it take you like that again. promise me Zara. Promise me now?”

I nod my head yes, not believing
myself.
