I kept looking at him and I could feel eyes burning into my back. I nodded my head and he gave small chuckle and pulled me close. He led me to the dance floor and he slowly wrapped his large hand around my waist. The music began playing and we glided across the dance floor his glowing eyes flickering back and forth to mine. I touch my face briefly and he smiled. "Is there something on my face?" He let out a deep chuckle and leaned in closely. "The only thing on your face is pure beauty." I looked at him and I knew slowly a blush was creeping up my face. I stuttered out a thank you and he simply kept looking at me with those eyes.

We kept dancing and dancing and each time another guy came up to ask me, he simply would brush them off and led me to the dance floor again. As the song ended my parents intruded, introduced themselves and began pouring him with questions. They asked him how old he was and who his family was. He simply answered he was 17 years old and his father is the commander of the army and border unit. "What power did you receive?"

 my mother blurted out. I held my breath as he simply smiled and looked at both my parents. "I have the power to control lightning when there's a storm." I was taken aback a bit since I rarely hear people with the power to be able to control storm elements. Then again, looking back at what power I just got. My parents praised him and congratulated him on his unique power and he modestly smiled and thanked them.

"Say Ian, why don't you stop by for dinner tomorrow at our house? We also would welcome for your father to come as well." My mother smiled at him and I knew from the look in her eyes that she was hoping that he would say yes. " I would gladly join you all for dinner as long as luna Is there." He looked over at me gave me a small smile as I looked down at the floor. My mother gave out a laugh and gripped his shoulder. "Of course she'll be there. I think she'll be more that happy to see you as well."

As the ball ended, we said our goodbyes and thank you's to everyone. As I said goodbye to Ian, he grabbed my hand and pulled me close, his lips brushing against my ear. "Luna, if you ever need someone, I will always be here for you." He gave me a small peck on the cheek and led me to my limo, where Liam stood with the door open. "Take care of her will you?" Liam nodded his head and slipped in and closed the door behind him. We drove off and I kept replaying the events that happened today.

Anna was fast asleep on the other side of the limo, curled up the shawl she got. I looked at Liam and locked eyes with him. His icy glare sent a chill down my spine and I touch his face gingerly, but he swatted my hand away. I was surprised. I stood awestruck, looking at him and slowly drawing my hand back to me. "Whats wrong with him?" I felt tears sting the back of my eyes and I looked down, quickly wiping one away as it trailed down my face. "Luna?"  I turned around and wiped away another tear, not wanting to feel like Im making him feel guilty. He grabbed my chin and forced me to face him. His eyes trailed down to my tears an then back up to my eyes.

"Luna Im...." Before he could finish, the car stopped in front of the mansion. I pulled my face away and went over to wake up Anna and help her up the stairs. I didn't see my parents limo so probably there still out celebrating and the house was alone except for the servants. I heard liam calling for me, but I just stormed upstairs and slammed door shut. "What did I do to him to be treated that way?" I stripped out of my dress and threw on the nearest night gown I saw. I went out onto my balcony and leaned over the railing, feeling the tears trickle down my face. "Luna." I turned around to see liam who already changed into a white t-shirt and shorts. He walked over to me ad I wiped the last of the tears away and looked at the sky.

  "Luna...Im.. Im sorry. I just don't know what over came me when I saw you with Ian and the way he looked as you its..." He let out a harsh breath and plopped himself next to me on the balcony. He ran his hand through is blonde hair and rubbed his eyes. "He looks tired. why does he though?" I reach over and laid on hand on his shoulder, feeling his muscles tense a bit. He looked at me with tired eyes and gave me a small smile.

"Im sorry luna. I shouldn't have let my emotions get the better of me." He grabbed my hand and laid it on the side of his face. I rubbed my thumb across his cheekbone and he closed his eyes and seemed to relax. He looked younger like this as if years of stressed seemed to have melted away. 

"How is it that he can feel this way about me? He knows what would happen if they found out. He would be flogged or his wings removed or worse....." A chill went up my spine at the though of it and liam's eyes slowly opened. He got up and wrapped is arms around me and pulled me close to his chest. My body flooded with warmth and I could hear his heartbeat increase and I nuzzled my face into his chest. His fingers ran through my hair and I hugged him tighter, worried he might be gone if I let go. I felt his hand graze my face and I looked up and locked eyes. He slowly leaned in and I felt his warm breath on my face. "liam....."

His lips brushed against mine  and I felt my eyes slowly close. I felt my mine screaming what would happen to Liam and before he could lean in my eyes shot open and I pushed myself back slightly. "Liam we can't. I can't do this to you. If something was to happen to you I couldn't liv...."but before I could finish my sentence his lips pressed against mine and my worries seem to melt away. I wrapped my arms around his neck and slowly pulled myself closer and his arms snaked around my waist.

He leant in, putting more pressure into the kiss and I ran my hands across his back. His muscles tensed and I he pulled away and I heard him suck in his breath. His eyes  scanned me over and back to my face as he gripped the hem of his shirt and pulled it off. Scars covered his body like the one that covered his lip. I slowly ran my hands across each one and felt his breathing heavy. "What happened?" He looked and me and grabbed my hands and pressed them against his lips. His eyes seem to show an emotion I've never seen before. He kissed my fingertips lightly and kissed my palms before he kissing my lips. He looked into my eyes and spoke the words I was dreading most.

 "Witches happened."
