I woke up in Alpha Ethan's bed. This was something that had never happened before since my stay in the pack, and it surprised me to find myself in a king sized bed.
My eyes wandered through the room in fear as I wondered where I was. At first, I didn't remember passing out, but I remembered that I haven't been to such a nice place in a while. Then finally, my eyes fell on the figure at the door.
"You're finally awake."
"Why am I here?"
"You passed out a while ago," he replied. "How do you feel now?" He placed his palm over my head in order to feel my temperature.
"How do you feel Adira?"
"I didn't ask to be brought here!", I snapped.
He moved closer, while ignoring what I said. He tried to place his hands over me again, but I quickly hit them away. His cologne had taken over the room and the aura between us had grown so well, and I knew it was a matter of time before I fell for his charms again.
"Why am I here?" I asked again. My voice was crisp.
I considered it cruel that a man I had shared some intimate moments with would allow me to go through that amount of torture under his watch.
"I asked for you to be brought here," he replied.
His voice was no longer distant, something I found strange.
"I wanted to be sure you recover well."
"Recover and go back to being a slave?"
"You already know too much Adira, we can't allow you to leave".
I could see the distress in his face, and it made me believe something in him wants to save me from the pack. But wasn't he the Alpha?
He was the 1st in command and, by so, had the power to free me from this torture. But it seemed like he couldn't do anything for me, even with those powers. I was sad, I quickly jumped off the bed, and I noticed they dressed me in a clean robe.
"Where's my dress?"
"Here"
He pointed to the gown on the couch. It was still the same dress, the brown dirty dress I wore as a slave. This time, it was as if the emotions had been sucked away, because he had quickly switched back to the aloof Ethan I knew. I quickly got dressed and was about to leave when he blocked the way.
I I had gotten back to my feet when I heard some footsteps in the walkway. The steps were familiar, and I feared I knew who was approaching. The closer the steps became, the more I perceived a cologne which I was familiar with.
"Fuck!". It was Kara, and I knew that the last thing I would want for myself was for her to see me there. I hurried under the bed and took cover.
Ethan was fast enough to cooperate. I noticed he didn't want Kara to meet me in his room either, but one thing I was confused with was if he did it for my sake or his.
Ethan and kara had been lovers and were still, before and after I came into the picture.
I knew it would be a delusion to think I was even in the picture. It appeared they were closer than I thought, but I wondered what someone like the Alpha would be doing with someone that cruel.
She entered the room and hurried to the alpha, enveloping her hands around him. I could watch from the little opening I created when I parted the bedspread. My heart began to pound quickly. I wondered why. Maybe because that would be my first time discovering they were lovers, or maybe not.
Yes, I needed to distract myself from whatever stupid things my brain had made up.
"Ethan is not yours and will never be!!", I scolded myself within, while trying to calm down.
I thought this had given me a sense of relief, but immediately I raised my head up. I saw them kissing. They perfectly wrapped their lips against each other, while their tongues did its thing. This made me remember how much of a good kisser he was.
I felt terrible. I could feel the pressure my anger had generated, and the heat that emanated from my body. I knew I had issues with anger, but I knew something else was happening with my body. Something I couldn't explain. My eyesight had become sharper and intense, and when I shone it into the robe, I took it with me while moving under the bed. It moved.
"Adira!" I echoed, to make sure I could hear myself. This was a technique I employed each time anger wanted to take the best of me.
But I knew this wasn't anger, something in me had changed, and I wondered if they gave me any strange medications when I passed out.
Shortly, Kara whispered something into his ears and left. I quickly crawled out of where I was hiding. A sound wave shook me as I made my way to the door.
Ethan's eyes were still on me, but I couldn't understand why. Of course, he wouldn't expect me to be friendly after what I witnessed. I tossed the neat robe to the bed and made my way out.
Kara had felt my presence. I didn't know how she managed to do it, but I knew she did.
She stood in the hallway, waiting for whoever was in the room to come out.
"You?", "So it was you?", she yelled.
But what could have made her notice? I stood transfixed in a place, fear would not allow me to move my body. Kara was definitely the weapon formed against me, and I couldn't place why she hated me this much.
She hurried toward me and dragged my ears, pulling it while I followed her. She began to spew her venomous words. I knew I was in big trouble, and I knew that this time, the alpha won't save me.
