Alpha's Found Daughter

Chapter 3

EMMA'S P.O.V.

Waking up to light coming in through the windows I stretched out my limbs as the warmth of the sun's rays shine down on me. Letting out a small yawn I rub at my eyes as they slowly open revealing what I know is not the cabin. Panic settles in my body as my eyes roam over the nice things in the room that I've never saw before, a loud ear piercing scream comes from me as my mind tries to think of where I am and how I got here. The last thing I remember was the strange man talking to me in the cabin. A loud bang comes from a wall near me causing me to yelp in surprise, people I've never saw before come running into the room, some look around like they expecting someone to jump out and attack while the others rush to my side. Not knowing who these people are or what they want with me I start shaking in fear and scream even more.

When I first met a wolf person I learned they had sensitive ears so my shouts should hopefully hurt their ears making them leave. The woman closest to me grits her teeth as she tries to ignore the loud noise making her ears hurts and tries to get me to shush, as she comes closer I back up til I'm against the head board and tears start falling. She reaches out to touch me making my body stiffen afraid she might hurt me.

"What's going on?!" A powerful voice booms making everyone freeze in place if my body wasn't already stiffened then I would probably freeze as well. The people all around suddenly bow their heads and say Alpha. Raising my head I see the nice strange man from yesterday is now standing in the middle of the room looking annoyed. For some reason his presence makes my body moves on it's own and before I know it I'm shimmying off the bed and rushing to this man I only met yesterday. I tightly wrap my arms around one of his legs. Gasps sound all around me making me cling even tighter onto his leg and move a little behind him to avoid all the gazes on me.

"How dare a dirty rogue pup touch our alpha!" Some woman shouts making me whimper at the anger in her voice. My grip tightens on the man, the leg I'm holding starts to shake as a low warning growl comes from the man, thinking he's growling at me I quickly let go and take a few steps back, the man glances down at me with completely black eyes then with impressive speed picks me up holding me close to his chest.

The man looks at the woman who just talked. "Like you oh so graciously pointed out, this is a pup! Do you think a girl this age that has lived in the woods probably her whole life would have any idea about pack manners and the ranking of wolves? Yes she did act inappropriately by running to the alpha and wrapping her arms around me but she doesn't know that's something she's not supposed to do so shut it!" Hearing his mad voice scares me but knowing he's not mad at me calms me a little, I don't know every word he is saying but for some reason it feels like he's defending me which makes me happy. Liking the feel of his soft shirt I snuggle closer to him and bury my head into his neck, this makes him stiffen but soon relaxes when I'm in a comfortable position.

With one last angry growl the man turns around and leaves the room. I feel myself being carried away, slowly I raise my head just enough to look at everything we pass by, there's lots and lots of doors making me wonder if that means a bunch of wolf people live here or if those doors are to some other kind of rooms. The floors are all wood like the cabin's but much cleaner and they don't have holes or creak when they it's stepped one. As I'm carried down the stairs my fists clench onto the man's shirt tightly so I don't fall, steps hurt to fall down and these stairs have a lot of steps so I definitely don't want to fall down them. When we get to the bottom of the stairs a wave of strong scents hits my nose making me sniff the air curious as to what those smells are. The man's chest shakes and rumbles as he chuckles at my sniffing, my face heats up in embarressment at being caught and I hurriedly bury my face in his shoulder making the chuckle turn into laughter. The creak of a door is heard and oh my gosh the amazing smells become even stronger, before I know it I'm being placed on a large chair.

"Alpha!" A plump woman greets looking a little stunned to see the man in what appears to be a kitchen, why would someone be surprised this man is in a kitchen? Recovering from her state she quickly bows to him as he has a flat uncaring look on his face. "I'm so sorry sir I didn't mean to be disrespectful it's just that you are never in the pack house for breakfast, you usually eat at your house with the other high ranks."

He waves his hand in a dismissive manner. "We found this little girl yesterday." He points to me. "She slept here last night and I figured it would be a good idea to check up on her since she's very skittish."

The woman nods then purses her lips as her eyes go to me. "Is she the one that was screaming her head off a few minutes ago?"

The man smiles. "Yes, I was planning to take her to the pack orphanage today but it seems she needs to warm up to people a little more before she can go there."

"Hi sweetie are you hungry?" She bends over and places her hands on her knees as she asks while keeping a distance between us so I won't be scared. I bite my lip unsure of what to do, is it okay to take food from her? My eyes immediately go to the man, he gives me a gentle smile and bends down to my height locking his eyes onto mine.

"Remember the food I gave you yesterday?" My head eagerly nods there's no way I could forget something that tasted so yummy. "Well the food this nice lady makes is even better." My eyes light up in excitement as I unknowingly bounce in my seat showing just how much I now want to try the food. It doesn't seem possible for something to taste even better than the white square he gave me.

The woman straightens up and turns to the man. "Excuse me Alpha but she is too small to be in a chair like that she might fall off and hurt herself, I'll go find a high chair." She starts to exit the kitchen but the man stops her.

"That won't be necessary, the tray on a high chair or anything like that may make her feel trapped and that's the last thing we need, she'll become even more frightened." His large arms reach out and once again I'm picked up, with one hand he pulls out the chair I was just sitting in and plops himself down on it while carefully shifting me on his lap keeping an arm loosely around me. I smile that I can know see over the top of the small table. The woman's mouth falls open as she know stares at the man like he's grown a second head. The man gets an empty plate that's on the table and starts piling it with huge stacks of different foods. My eyes go wide having never saw such food before not to mention just how much there is. Taking a big whiff of the food I stick my arm out and grab a handful of some kind of yellow and white stuff that's a little mushy, with a small shrug of my shoulders I stuff the food into my mouth. The man starts laughing while the woman looks worriedly at me like I've done something wrong.

The plump woman steps closer to us and bends down again trying to make eye contact with me. "Sweetie you can't eat the food on his plate, I'll make you a smaller plate and you need to eat scrambled eggs with a fork not your hands." My brows furrow at her, wolf mom and I ate from the same pile of food and what in the world is a fork?

He holds a hand up cutting her off. "Deardra it's fine, I put extra food on my plate so she can eat from it and I doubt she even knows what a fork is. When we found her she was in a dilapidated cabin living with a wild wolf."

Deardra scowls as she takes a good look at my hands. "No offense sir but she's incredibly filthy so I don't think it's a good idea for her to be touching your breakfast with such drity hands." At her words I stare down at my hands that have dried mud all over them confused at what the is problem with me touching the food. The man looks at my hands as well then just shrugs his shoulders in a uncaring way. "Those little hands are not too far from being black with all the dirt caked on them."

The man sighs. "It's fine, a little dirt won't hurt." I watch as he picks up a metal thing and sticks it into the eggs, the thing holds the eggs without them falling off, instead of eating them himself he holds them to my mouth, cautiously I open my mouth and he stuffs the eggs in it with a big smile. I watch closely as he uses the metal thing with strong interest, I would kind of like to use that thing.

As we ate breakfast I learned the names of the food, bacon, eggs, pancakes, toast and sausage, I ate so much my tummy felt like it would burst. The man tried showing me how to use the metal thing called a fork and unlike him I wasn't able to get the food on it and when I did it just fell off the fork. From the way the woman kept addressing the man I think his name must be Alpha also the people that walked into the kitchen to get their food also called him Alpha and they all bowed at him which confused me as to why everyone would bow to someone. It's going to take awhile for me to get used to this strange place.
