Chereads / Of Love And War / Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

I opened my eyes and found myself lying in a big comfortable bed, I stared at the black painted ceiling, the image of the dark wolf emerged into my mind out of nowhere and realization hit me- I gasped and sat up straight, ignoring the pounding and sharp pain in my head- my eyes searched the room I was in, its huge, I was in the queen sized bed, in front of me were two steps that would go down into a small area with a sofa and a coffee table, there was a small room that I expected to be the closet and the next to it I saw the bathroom with its door wide open-I was alone, for now. I noticed the sun was up because of the light coming from the big windows in the room, the curtains were closed but they didn't block the sunlight completely. I got up and walked to the window, pulling the curtain to the side, I looked outside to see that I am on the second floor and beneath were fences and barb wires all over the place, also there were two guys stationed far from each other along the fence, I gulped and closed the curtain, I already established that I am in the Amara pack's main house- now what?

I eyed the closed door, what are the chances that it isn't locked? I decided to try it anyway, I grabbed the handle and twisted it, to my surprise it wasn't locked- I opened it and peeked my head outside, there was a l wide corridor- to the left there were more closed doors, to the right there were some stairs, one staircase went down and the other one went up- I figured that the exist is down so I started walking slowly and as quietly as I could towards the stairs, of course considering that the house is all wood, there were some creaks here and there , and I had to stop and listen for any commotion every time the floor creaked.

I managed to get to the bottom floor, to my surprise it was pretty dark and there were a few closed doors while only one was open and light spilled from it- I took two steps before stopping abruptly, I heard two male voices talking- I recognized the deep voice of alpha Dracus, but the other one was foreign to me. "Alpha Dracus, please hear me out, we cannot take the risk of having a human girl within our pack-she might drag problems with her, I beg you to reconsider" I closed my eyes and said "Amen" in my mind, a chair was dragged back and then I heard footsteps walking around, "well, my dear friend- I believe our guest has just woken up" a pause "dear Rain, feel free to come inside" I froze, how did he know I was here? But then I slapped my forehead, he's a freaking werewolf, of course he smelled me, I sighed then walked inside the room.

It turned out to be an office, just like Cedric's- it was huge and full of dark wood furniture, Dracus was standing next to the door with his hands behind his back as he observed me with a serious look, the other guy was sitting on the chair in front of the desk- his eyes were scanning me with a narrowed suspicious look- just like every other werewolf that I've seen so far, this one was gorgeous , his eyes were dark brown, his hair was the same shade I noticed he had a small scar on his eyebrow, a light stubble on his face and a strong jaw. He moved slightly and as he did my eyes studied his body, strong biceps, broad shoulders, strong defined chest, abs-he was wearing a sleeveless leather black cut with nothing underneath it, black jeans and black biker boots- his style matched Cedric's so well.

"Hey!" He called at me and snapped his fingers in front of my face, when did he get up? I blinked twice, when did he move to stand in front of me? I cleared my throat and stared at him in the face, he scowled as if it was rude of me "don't look at me with those lusting eyes of yours human" my face turned deep red and I moved my eyes from his to look behind him, on the wall behind the desk, there was a huge painting of a man sitting on a chair, he looked a lot like alpha Dracus, but his features looked harder and scarier, he was sitting with his legs apart and his hands rested on each of his thighs, in one hand he was holding what looked like a glass of scotch, in the other one he was wearing a ring that had the shape of a wolf's head. This must be alpha Dracus' father.

I lowered my gaze to the floor and that seemed to satisfy the guy in front of me "that's more like it" he scuffed and then moved back to sit in his char "I was talking to you but you seemed to be drowned in your own lustful thoughts at the time, I appreciate the flattery, but don't dare ignore me again", I nodded "I'm sorry" he gave me a once-over and nodded back "alright, now I was asking- how old are you?" I looked at him "26" ,he smirked "are you truly a virgin?" my face turned red and I looked down and nodded "I am"- he looked at alpha Dracus and chuckled "well, young, virgin and hot- you sure are lucky alpha" I heard alpha Dracus laugh from behind me as he stepped closer and held a strand of my hair then smelled it "your smell so good, it makes my mouth water" he let go and went to sit behind the desk "Xavier, I need you to keep your eyes open and your ears on full attention- after Cedric claimed the girl in front of everyone, I don't think he'll let go that easily" they guy named Xavier nodded and stood up, just before he would go alpha Dracus stopped him- "hold on, you haven't met properly, Rain- this is Xavier, my beta, Xavier- this is Rain, my new toy" they both laughed and I felt ridiculous, it angered me how he addressed me without any honor, toy? my anger surfaced any the words came out before I could stop them "I'm no toy of yours" their laughter died and they both stared at me in shock and anger, I tipped my chin up and pushed back my fear, alpha Dracus spoke in a low menacing voice "what did you say?" I took a breath "I said, I am not your toy, alpha Dracus".

Alpha Dracus features hardened and he stomped towards me, I walked back until my back hit the wall- he raised his fist up ,I thought he was going to hit me and squeezed my eyes shut as I turned my head to the side bit instead his fist hit the wall right next to my head and it cracked, I opened my eyes and turned to look at the huge hall in the wall "next time you raise your voice or speak without respect to me, I won't miss" I shuddered, but then when I looked up to met alpha Dracus' stare his features softened, he raised his hand again but this time when I flinched his finger grazed the side of my face and neck, something in this notion made me relax, I whimpered as his hand drifted down and touched my stomach , I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, when I opened them again he was smirking "I can almost hear you purr like a kitten" I swallowed and looked behind him to find Xavier looking at me with a strange look on his face,his chest was heaving, his forehead was sweaty and his fists were clenched at his sides and his jaw was set

I frowned in confusion, what's up with him? Dracus followed my gaze and chuckled "my friend, there is no need to worry or get angry, this human female is perfectly safe, and even if the whole Steel pack come to her rescue, they got no chance- alpha Cedric knows better than to start a war against us, after all" he paused and looked back at me "we are way stronger and bigger in numbers" I looked at him with pure hate, there was no need to remind me of my problem.
