Alpha and I

Taken

    This was not my room, I knew that for a fact. I was alone in a giant bedroom that was as big as the square footage of my own home. The california king size bed would not let me escape it's comfy beige sheets, God it was so soft and cozy. I then realized, s**t! I need to get the hell out of here before my captors return! Captors? Last I check you don't kidnap and set the kidnaped in the nicest room in the whole house, but how did I know this was the nicest? 

    I shrug myself out of sleep and set my feet on the floor, as I continue to check my surroundings. I was facing a large maple door, the ceiling was vaulted into the air, which led me to assume that I was on the top floor. There was another door that looked to lead to a balcony, but it was locked, of course. 

    I had barely began looking around when the maple door swung open, gently but forced. I tall and muscularly lean woman walked into the room. Her red hair and kind blue eyes facing my direction as a smile escaped her plump yet slender lips which showed me her gorgeous white chompers. Jeez, I need the phone number of her dentist.

    "Hi Lu- I mean Melanie!" She came up and wrapped her arms around me in a loving embrace, like she had waited years to do so. 

    "Oh my God, we are going to be the best of friends! I am so excited that you are finally here! I knew something was up when my bro"

    Catching her mid sentence, a tall muscular brown haired man, probably about twenty-so years of age, the same as this woman, came waltzing in and put a hand on her arm, "Calm down Rita, we can exchange more pleasantries when Ms. Mel here gets more acquainted with her surroundings. Right, Rita?"

    I smile at his knowingly look, he knows this girl very well, you could tell. Although it looked like she knew him just as well when she shook her head and rolled her eyes while saying, "Oh whatever Emmett, get your damn hand off of me then so I can go help Pru and Luna for brunch." She stomped out of my room before giving me a sly smile and wink. I laugh at the face she gave towards Emmett while his back was turned, but immediately stopped when I felt his gaze strongly piercing my every move. 

    "Ehrm, I'm sorry, you all seem very nice, but why am I here?" I try to play dumb. dumb is better than the attitude that I was so strongly holding back at this very moment. I want to get back in my truck and just go back to my s**t apartment, and live my s**t life please. That is all. Not that my life was bad, I just worked so damn hard to barely get by anymore. Which also concluded that I am sure I missed class this morning, just great. College courses are a b***h to catch up on.

    I didn't even realize he never answered my question until he ignored it by handing me a bag and saying, "Here is some extra clothes and toiletries. You should clean up, we are going to eat soon. Everybody woke up late so we are having a brunch." He smiled a little before turning on his heel quickly and shutting the door behind him.

    What. The. f**k. Are you kidding me?! My kidnappers are shopping for me now, just great. I look at the bag which actually was from some designer I had never heard of, but it was just a simple pair of black leggings, jeans, a few blouses and t-shirts, some actually pretty sexy undergarments, along with a few sports bras. Why the hell so much? Shouldn't I be locked up in a closet fighting for my life right now. 

    Then I remembered them, the wolves. I stumbled on the bed and sat down while putting a hand to my creasing forehead in thought. What the hell happened to me last night, and why am I being put into such a lavish predicament, I mean brunch?! Shoot, I barely get breakfast before I just grab a smoothie and head to work until I eat supper. That is probably why I am so damn thin now. I used to be more curvy, but all this school and work load has really kept me exhausted and maybe a little depressed that I just had no appetite anymore.

    I looked through a closet door, it was ginormous! Although there was a lot of man clothes in here and boots and tennis shoes way to big for my feet. I close the door out of boredom an  I then realize there is a bathroom door across the room directly in front of the bed. I open the door to find an enormous shower and a marble bathtub sitting beside it, but all in front of a wall sized glass window. s**t. Yep, this was luxury. I take out the shampoo and body wash and finish cleaning myself up inside the gorgeous shower when I hear a knock on the bathroom door. 

    I grab a towel while me hair is still dripping wet, "Yea?!" I called out. 

    "When you're finished getting ready, I can escort you to get something to eat." A low husky voice greeting my call hollered out at me. s**t, should I fear this voice? Will this be the voice who implements unforeseen amounts of torture on me? I feel fear growing deep inside of me as I stuttered out a soft, "Ok."

    I quickly dry off and slip the leggings and t shirt on over my head, since I had no new shoes to go with the outfit I simply put on my Nike tennis shoes for work, After quickly brushing my hair and teeth and run out the bathroom door. 

    "OOMPH!" I ran right into a f*****g wall, no not a wall, a human man wall. I have my hands up defending myself, but my fingertips graze his bare chest covered in tribal tattoos that trailed along his right arm. I gasp again as I pushed myself away so hard I fell right onto my ass in front of this giant mongrel. Yep, this was going to be the human machine that will surely be the one to make my life hell.     

    He chuckles under his breath and lets out a smile before saying, "Uhm, you okay?" He reached his arm out, thinking he was just giving me a hand I start to reach out, but he continued to lean down and scoop his arm underneath my frame, before I am hoisted effortlessly onto my feet. I. Am. Breathless. 

    "Lets go."

    He says nothing more and his gaze goes hard as he lets out no emotion. I nod my head silently, not wanting to make him mad, but yet his kind gesture shocked me to my bones. The only thing I could think of as I trailed behind his tall muscular build was how warm and tingly his skin felt as it touched my own. I still had goosebumps. 

    I follow him down a wide and gorgeously decorated hallway, down a marble grand staircase and we enter what I am assuming is a dining area, but nobody is there.

    "Sit." He points to a chair that he pulls out before going over to the seat in front and at the head of the table, right beside the seat he pulled out for me. This was a giant table, it could easily seat fifty people, but why was it only us that was here. I knew I was late, after all I took a while getting showered. 

    He looks at me an smiled, "Ya, we get leftovers. I forgot how long girls take to shower." He rolled his eyes and turned to the door of what I assumed to be the kitchen and shouted out, "Where the hell is my food Pru!"

    I hear a loud clang in the kitchen and an even louder laugh as the door swung open revealing a tall black haired goddess. Jesus, were all the women here s*x queens or what? She smiled widely at me and I could see her eyes were a deep violet shade, but held a sweet sincerity as she said, "Anything for you Alpha!" 

    Then she turned abruptly to face him and says in a bit of a sarcastic tone, "But I might add that arriving on time would give you more of a chance of getting your food in a timely manner."

    She hastily set down the sandwiches and juice before hustling back into the kitchen like she had too much to do to keep this conversation going. 

    He shook his head and chucked, "If she wasn't my Aunt, I swear," as he took a bite of his sandwich. I

    I just stared at his gorgeous face, he was beautiful. s**t! What the hell Mel! Are you really checking out your captor? Which reminded me, "So uhm, can I ask a question." His face looks taunt by something I said, was that a nervous look? He didn't like to show his emotions, that was for sure. 

    He gulped a bite down and took a drink before looking into my eyes with that golden topaz stare, "And what would that be gorgeous?"

    Gorgeous? What the f**k is going on here?! Why isn't he beating me, or starving me, or raping me , or worse! Why am I still even alive and well?!

    "Uhm, can I leave soon?" I was always a blunt ass female. I realize that was a wrong question when his eyes turn black, yes, like actually black. I go pale and start trembling, s**t this was it. Here starts my ever ending punishments.

     He looks away quickly and his fist is balled up tightly on the table before looking back at me with the same black eyes, "No." 

    He grabs his plate and juice and walks out the way we came in before saying, "Eat your food, your too damn skinny."     

    Seriously, he's worried about my wellbeing now? I sarcastically chuckle and without thinking I call out after him, "Sure just kidnap me and worry about my calorie intake!" 

    I see him freeze for a second before continuing back up the stairs, away from me. 

    I couldn't even eat though, I was also worried maybe it was poison. I don't even take a drink of my juice, instead I get up and empty the glass through an open window before heading back to the room to get some water from the bathroom sink, I was parched. 

    Where did he go? It then dawned on me that, nobody was watching me. I need to leave now while I can. I put the glass down and looked out of the maple doorway, nobody was there. I headed towards the stairs but noted an elevator farther down the hall. I saw that the dining area was probably on the fourth floor, which meant the elevator should take all the way down to the first. 

    I hurriedly pressed the down button, the elevator dinged and opened its doors while I stepped in and pressed one, and close. This was it, I could get home and get ready for work and go back to my life, no more of whatever this was. 

    As soon as the elevator opened I walked briskly towards what looked like a door to the outside world just down the hall. I didn't want to make an obvious exit out the front door, who knows what could be lurking there.

    I open the door and gasp at what I see in front me. Acres of rolling hills and evergreen trees spread out before me, I was in the damn boonies. Who knew how far they had traveled from the city to hide me here. I don't care though, I need some fresh air.

    I walk towards the wooded area and decide a jog could probably clear my mind, might as well take advantage of the clothes I am wearing and get some exercise. I start jogging out of the clearing of this giant monstrosity of a home I just exited. I pay it no mind though, I don't care about how fancy the damn house is, I just wanted to run and forget the last twelve hours.

    I always loved running, it was when I felt the strongest and most powerful. I had been running cross country and track for years and never stopped when I graduated high school. I especially loved running the trails in the woods. The oxygen illuminating from the tall evergreen trees, the wind pushing against my face, the strength in my legs as they glided outwards giving me pace and speed. 

    Then I felt it, like all eyes on me. I had felt this feeling before, I remembered it clearly. It was right before I was kidnapped. It was like eyes boring into my skin, opening me from the inside and I screamed out in pain. What the hell was that? I am on the ground in seconds with a giant wolf on top of me holding my arms and legs in place as he breathed in my scent. This wolf was no normal wolf, he was huge. Easily about ten times my size. I felt his claws sink into the flesh on my arms and I screamed out again in pain before I saw a flash of black fur leap in front of me taking the wolf to the ground.

    They were similar in shape, size and color. The wolf that was just on me is staring deathly at the other, but my savior of a wolf leaps onto him and they are rolling on the ground exchanging blows when a gorgeous white wolf that was half the size of the two intervened and pushed between them glaring at their eyes with her own that only showed fierce love.

    I feel panic and realize that we are surrounded, easily five hundred wolves were surrounding us and watching intently. None of them were looking at me though, they were all watching the three...argue?

    I am all of a sudden looking at the man from earlier, an older and more grown up version of the man I had lunch with and then a gorgeous blonde middle aged woman with smile lines that deepened in her face as she said, "Ezekiel, let us return and leave the children to solve this"

    The older man who I guess is Ezekiel shook his head in rage, "How are you not angry with the fact that he brought a human onto our pack's land without consulting the elders?!" His face was red with rage and I was scared to my core when he glared at me, before he could speak to me the man from earlier gets in front of me, obstructing his view, "I am Alpha now father, I will speak to the council. We have a dozen humans working on our land, it won't be an issue and you know that. You just can't bare the thought of having a human Luna."

    Ezekiel's face grows redder, "You will see the consequences this brings you Dean. You shame me, bringing weakness to this pack."

    He stalks away and I see no emotion on the man from lunch whose name is apparently Dean. I guess I never really cared to ask my kidnappers name. He just looks over at me and then I see it, was that guilt that crossed his eyes for a brief second?

     What is going on?
