Evie felt the soft pillow she was sleeping on earlier turn harder. 'So all the beautiful room and squishy bed was all a dream. I'm back to sleeping on the floor. But the floor is quite warm.' She thought rubbing her face on the 'floor'. 'Wait, does this mean even the food and ice cream was just a dream?!' The horrible thought made her snap her eyes open. She saw that she was still in the luxurious room but when she looked beneath her head, her brows drew together. It was then she noticed
"Thump~ Thump"
'Heartbeat?' she jolted in shock and tried to move away but a strong and muscular arm held her in place. "You don't have to run away from me. Just stay still, okay." She looked at his closed eyes as he said spoke.
'Why won't I try to run away? I was shocked to see a person lying beside me.' she said to herself.
'Wait a sec... in the middle of the night...' her thoughts were completed as the memories started flooding back to her. She was really embarrassed. 'Why would I just mindlessly cling to him like that. I don't even know his intentions towards me and yet...'
She had too many questions to ask but she couldn't. She was never the type to voice out her thoughts and questions. She never even voiced out anything. Not even when people talked to her or ask her questions.
'I didn't want to die. I can do anything except for dying. I am ready to be a servant, a messenger, anything at all, I am willing, as long as my life is spared. What if he's going to sell me or do something bad to me later on and just decided to buy me to his good side first. Still, it doesn't matter. He could do whatever. Okay, maybe I exaggerated a little bit. I don't want to be sold and I don't want anything bad to happen, but I can do any work. Even if I don't know how to, I'll learn it since my life depends on it.'
But why did he have to go to this extent to gain her favor. He is an Alpha so he could do whatever. Why would he be this hospitable. He definitely can't be doing this to everyone and a stranger at that. He could just do anything he wanted to her if that was what he wanted to. She was already his hostage the moment he got hold of her, but at that moment, she didn't feel like an hostage.
Things were just too confusing for her but she dare not ask.
'What if he's like that Lion in the picture book she read as a kid in her Uncle's house?' The Lion befriended the antelope and gave it a lot of food. The antelope soon became fat and healthy. Even healthier that the other antelopes that usually graze on the fields. After some time, the Lion ate the antelope as he said "I finally reap what I've sowed."
'Does he... (gulp)... want to eat me? Wolves are carnivores but are werewolves the same but eat human meat instead? No. Stop thinking silly things, Evie. But if so, then I have to run away from here as soon as possible. But with this man, it won't be that easy. I need a plan. A runaway plan.
"You know, I'm quite surprised" she heard him say all of a sudden. He opened his eyes and stared at hers. "You're a mystery to me. The fact that your name is Evie and you look the same-" He stopped when he remembered that she had no idea what he was talking about. Her name was Evie and she looked like Evie. She must have been shocked that I know her name. And me casually lying beside her- no, holding her closely in bed like this... I'm leaving her with too many things to think about. But she shouldn't think I'm hesitant lying with her like this. It's just that one thing she has to get used to even if every other thing including her talking to me comes after.

Please forgive me for the sudden pause in the story🙇🤲ðŸ˜. I had issues with my hands and I could barely move them. I dropped this chapter and the two before it immediately I felt better. I missed the story too much that I didn't even wait for full recovery 🥲 I'll be dropping four chapters tomorrow to make up for it. THE ALPHA GOD will continue to progress and I plan to move as swiftly as I can. I hope you guys can support me all the way🤧. Thank you. (I'm open for comments from you guys)
