YAY!) i'm just not to sure about Alex...

ALEX'S POV:

Chapter 5

I pulled back, slowly, trying to understand the hold that this child had on me. It was in her eyes, I was sure of it, but still her soft innocent face in sleep, brought a protective instinct I couldn't control or understand.

Her slow even breathing and the rhythmic beating of her heart filled the silent room. The scent of fresh roses was enticing, but every inch of my body shied away from it. Another part of me, the monster that raged in me, growled in frustration.

For a moment, I considered taking that sweet taste. I leaned in, to do just that, but the closer I got to the exposed part of her throat—something deep inside of me roared furiously. I took a step back at the intensity of the feeling.

How is it possible, that something so fragile has such an impact on me? I thought staring at her face. She forced, deep, buried human emotions out of me, and I hated it. She held me, and I didn't know why.

When I promised her that I would see her again, I wasn't thinking—my mind had become clouded. But who was she, who could bind me with a promise? Still, she held me; there was no way—even if I wanted to deny it—that I could not come to see her again.

I had to speak with Daniel. He would think that I was crazy, but I had to figure out why she held me in her fragile grasp.

With a last swift glance at her innocent face, I walked noiselessly to her window. I jumped out, landing on the ground with a soft thud. Then I froze, the soft breeze brought a scent. A scent, that made my lips curl back from my teeth.

I snarled, it was him, and he knew I was here. I refused to let him come any closer to the house… or Ella. I shot forward in a fast run, the snarl turning into a full out growl. As I sensed he was trying to go around me, I shot to the left to intersect him.

He gave up—for now—and stopped. He stood casual, yet his pitch black eyes scanned for an easier route to the house.

"Alexander," He said formally.

"What are doing here, Jesse?" I snarled.

"What ever do you mean?" Jesse's eyes widened innocently––I could feel the excitement that radiated off his body.

"You know this is our territory." I said through my teeth, trying futilely to control my temper. It would give me away more quickly, even if I our right said that I was trying to protect a human girl. I shook my head at the ridiculous notion.

"If my memory serves me correctly you left nine years ago. This territory is no longer your covens'." Jesse shifted slightly and I adjusted myself, if he tried to shoot past me I would crush him.

"You need to show some respect," I snapped.

"My apologies Alexander," He sneered, I growled in response. Jesse was young, yet not so young that he didn't know how to fight.

"I suggest you turn around and leave," I said, in a low voice.

"I can't do that," Jesse said with a smirk, "You see, Alexander, I have come across the most delicious scent. I bet she is as pretty as a rose and tastes like heaven. "

"NO!" I roared, I threw myself at him and missed him by a hair. He shot past, heading straight toward the house. I went after him, I grabbed his arm and spun him letting go, and he flew twenty yards away from the house. He slammed into a huge tree, and landed on his feet, in a crouch ready for an attack.

I bent forward, a mental picture of the sleeping, innocent Ella flashed in my mind, and I growled. There was no way I would let his hands touch her. Then out of nowhere, a female flashed to his side. Jesse's smiled triumphantly.

"Alexander, I would like you to meet, Amelia, my partner" Jesse straightened, and the female crouched in an offensive posture.

I realized what he was doing, using the female as a distraction while he…

"You'll never touch her," I growled, the overpowering fury enveloped me, and I was blind of my actions.

"That is where you are wrong, Alex. Your coven has no power here any more." Jesse said in a cool patient voice.

"And why is that?" I said, trying unsuccessfully to smother the fury. It wouldn't help in the fight.

"There is a new coven that owns this whole city. They equal to your coven, but they have experience in fighting." He said with a sneer, "They let us have territories, and this district just happens to be mine."

"She is mine," I said in a restrained voice. Jesse studied me with curious eyes; he waved at the female who straightened cautiously watching me with hostile bright red eyes.

"You will die if you stay where you are."

"I won't be the one who dies." I said through a growl, crouching defensively. Then in unison, both Jesse and the female crouched forward. It seemed they were planning on attacking together. I smiled, for once I could to participate in a fight where I could kill, yet in the back of my mind Ella's piercing green eyes became suddenly dull and lifeless.

I growled ferociously, and attacked with murder clearly in my eyes.
