Chapter 13: Tainted by the Alpha
"Pang pang pang"
There was a knock on the door of the small room where where Eldora and her friend Anisstiki sleep at night.
She closed her eyes after the sleepless night and had barely had enough sleep when this noise came from the door waking her from he little slumber she was finally at to have.
Her eyelids were very heavy when She tried to force it open, her body was very weak and the only thing she wanted to do was to just stay asleep.
Then she would not have to think about her life and how messed up it had become.
She believed that if she did not go and open the door, the person would get tired and eventually leave.
Sure enough, since she ignored the door, the person on the other side of the door left her.
But she couldn't go back to sleep again, she was already awake.
Immediately, memories of last night came oozing on her mind and she was filled with bitterness of heart and regret.
She only stood and admired the starry sky's reflection on the pond.
What was her crime? She thought, that the future Alpha would follow her and bite her neck off.
She subconsciously turned from left the right as if trying to get rid of the irritation she was feeling at the moment.
But instead of easing down the anger, it only intensified when she saw the pile of cloth on the corner of the small bed where she layed.
She was angry that he had done that to her, marking her where her mate would have.
Instead of her neck being adorned by the beautiful mark of her mate in the future, she thought he had ruined any chance she might get by already contaminating the place with his filthy canine claws.
And he succeeded in doing it without giving her a chance to fight back, she was totally helpless and felt useless tgat she could not even as little as save herself from the perverted Future Alpha.
"How else would it be possible for her to eventually save herself and her people if they should be in danger?
She felt ashamed and disgusted by her carelessness.
She had been hearing of how the future Alpha has his way with women, few times, she had even seen him walk into the consort room.
But never had she seen him in the act or forced his way with women nor did she ever think she would be the one at the receiving end.
She had despised the act so much but since it never came to be her turn, she did not think of it that much.
now not only did he try to violate her, he also marked her calling her his mate which clearly he wasn't.
"Bloody moon goddess!"
She tried to shout again but it came out like a wailing whusier as she thought back to when he was taking off his clothes before she had made a run for it, surely he would have forced himself on her she thought.
"Ahhhh!"
She shouted miserably and immediately ran to the big shared bathroom to clean up all the places he had touched her.
She did not want to remember his touch on her.
She wanted to rid herself of his touch, the shower she took last night.
She let the cold water pour on her body totally ignoring the cold weather.
Her one motive was to try and forget what had happened yesterday and if possible cleansing herself of any trace of him.
But no matter how she tried, he had left something that would make it impossible to forget him or get rid of him entirely.
She whimpered when her hand that was rubbing her body mistakenly touched the mark on her neck that sent heat throughout her body. She was so angry and wished she could get rid of the evidence, all of it.
She felt violated and disgusted at herself that such a thing happened to her.
While she was still cleaning and trying to forget what had happened the other night and failed miserably, the door to the bathroom practically opened, scaring her and relieving her from her thoughts.
"Omg you are here, where the hell have you been Lora? I have been looking for you throughout this morning, I didn't even see much of you last night, you just escaped after cooking that swallow, you are lucky no one noticed your absence."
Eldora wanted to cover her body from the intruder but when she heard the voice of her friend and Roommate, she was more relaxed.
It would not be the first time she would see her naked, they would sometimes take their baths in the same bathroom stall if they were late for their duty.
"Where have you been girl, I have been looking for you all these while, since yesterday you were
Missing, you are lucky the kitchen leaders did not notice your absence"
She repeated her statement again as if Eldora did not hear the first part.
Eldora on the other hand just ignored her and finished rinsing her body then wraped her body with her little towel that barely covered her legs.
She passed her friend and went to the room to put on her uniform.
"I am talking to you Eldora, why didn't you answer me?"
Her friend who had followed her from the bathroom suddenly held her side and shook her trying to get an answer from her.
That was when she saw her face and finally noticed it.
Eldora was really not herself, she had swollen face, her eyes were red and bulgy, her lips were so small.
She noticed that Eldora was shaking and finally calmed down to change the question she was asking.
"What happened dear friend, what is wrong with you"
She is a very emotional and passionate person so she pulled her in a full on hug and tried to calm her down.
Eldora would have forgotten about everything but when her friend was treating her like this and asking her what had happened, she remembered everything and felt more sad at her situation and broke down.
She couldn't contain her remorse and anger but there was nothing she could do, she only sobbed the more in her friends embrace
"Shhhss it's okay dear"
Her friend was surprised to see her in such a mood, she had always been the strongest one among the two of them, nothing really gets to her to the extend of breaking her to tears.
She may not know what it was that made her friend like this, but she knew it must be a big deal, at the end there was nothing she could say or do to pacify her.
She just held her tight and continually rubbed her back saying sweets encouraging words.
When her sobs subsided and she finally calmed down, she looked at Eldora with expectations eager for the explanation but did not receive any.
