Alpha and I

Like Fire

    I look around the small cottage, there is a queen size bed in the small bedroom with a dresser and a small desk in the corner. There was a bathroom door in the living room, inside was a big shower and white marble tub. 

    The kitchen was stocked with food and the dresser already had clothes that would fit me...why? Why was everything prepared so quickly for me? Nothing about this made any sense to me. Why have they not eaten me for wolf food yet. 

    There is a forty inch flat screen in the living room and plenty of books on the book shelf. I figure I could keep busy reading through some of them, but not now. I had plenty I needed to do about my situation and the first thing I must do is escape my new prison. I refuse to be locked in this cottage and told what and when I can do what.     

    Before I knew it the door was knocked on and the lock was fiddled with before being opened several minutes later. I wasn't scared, but I was wondering who and why this person just picked my lock to the front door.    

    A blonde bombshell walks in and plants her eyes directly on mine. She gives me a crocodile smile and shows me her pearly whites before saying, "Well, well, well. I just thought I'd come help the little girl out." She smiled this evil smile before putting her hands out towards the door, "Do as you wish mi'lady, oh and just follow the path to the side staircase of the big house and it will lead you do a long hallway on the second floor, at the end of the hallway is Dean's office, you know, if you have any question." She gave me another evil smile before walking out the door leaving it slightly ajar. 

    What the hell why did this slut just help me? I feel uneasy about all of this, but I also feel too uneasy to sit and wait for instruction. I peek out the front door and don't see anybody. Well, here goes nothing. 

    I cautiously walk out onto the path and follow to winding trail about a quarter of a mile until reaching the giant mansion that I had been in when I first arrived. It was bigger than I remember and I am looking at it from the rear instead of the front. I could hear children laughing and playing in the distance, but nobody could be seen so I keep walking toward the house. I can see the side stair case as well, but part of me worried about a possible trap. I did not trust a slut, like ever. 

    I don't even know why I was going to see him, I guess I just needed more information. I didn't like this and I didn't like him. I needed to figure everything out, my anxiety was getting the best of me and Dean was the boss apparently, what he said goes. I figured that he was the only one who could free me so I might as well try and pull a deal with him.

    All of a sudden as I make it to the staircase I feel heat coming from inside my body, it felt like major heartburn except it erupted throughout my entire body. It was constant fire, I sat on the top step to regain my strength, I felt weak, like everything was on fire and all my energy was drained and depressed. What was wrong with me? I was close to screaming out in pain, but I didn't want to draw attention, maybe Dean knows what the hell is going on or can find someone to help me.

    I make my way to the end of the office where I hear something going on, I can't pay attention though because my eyesight is blurry and my ears are ringing. Ugh, it felt like a super migraine from hell that affected my entire being.

    I knock and hear an angry, "WHAT?!" 

    s**t, I don't want to make him mad, but I had questions and I needed this fire to be extinguished immediately. I open the door, but quickly regret ever coming to this room, I see Dean laying it on that blonde b***h from earlier, she looks right at me and smiles, but as soon as his eyes meet mine I slam the door and run down the hallway and back down the stairs quicker than The Flash. 

    The fire and the pain in me stopped, but I felt something else that I couldn't pinpoint, was I really hurt right now? Why? I could care less what he did, or rather who. Although for some reason there was this lump in my throat that wanted to escape, but I wouldn't allow myself to grieve over this man whom I despised. I did not like him! I didn't care what he did! What is wrong with me and my emotions. I can't decipher anything going through my head.     

    Instead of going back to the cottage I sit on a bench outside of the back yard gardens. This area had caught my eye when I first saw it, the fish pond and all the beautiful plants and vegetation growing made me feel balanced. I had a small garden at home, but I am sure I would never see it again. That is when I let it out, all the tears I had been holding in came out like the great flood. I was a quiet crier, but I hated when I did. I didn't like to show my emotions or tears, but nobody was around now and I needed to let it out. 

    I catch my breath and jump as I hear a twig snap behind me. I whip my head back to see the wonder woman goddess from earlier, Rita. She smiled shyly at me before sitting next to me, she was quiet for a minute before looking at me and softly brushed away a couple tears from my face. 

    Part of my wanted to flinch from her touch, but I felt warm and safe around her. She looked at me with only kindness from her big blue eyes, "Mel, I am sorry you are so unhappy right now."

    I sniffle back my tears and wipe my face a little before giving her a slight smile, "I don't know what is going on with me anymore Rita."

    She nods her head and wraps her right arm around my back and gives me a small squeeze, "I know honey, but everything will make sense soon."

    I shake my head and feel the tears again falling down my face, "I don't know why he wants me here, he already has a w***e to make him happy, why does he need me?"

    She frowns at my words and shakes her head, "What are you talking about Mel, he doesn't want you as a w***e. I think that is probably the last thing he would want."

    I sarcastically chuckle a little before saying, "So what am I to him then?! Why do I have to stay here and not leave, I am feeling things I have never felt, earlier my whole body felt on fire, like all my energy and happiness is just gone!" 

    Tears keep dropping from my face, I still can't find an ounce of happiness or pride in me, all I feel is sadness and darkness. Rita's face drops from my words, she quickly gives me a hug and says, "Oh sweetie, I swear I will kill him."

    I look up quickly, "What?"

    She smiled at my shocked expression, "I could never actually kill my brother. but I swear to you that you will never feel that same pain ever gain, you are so special Mel, more than you ever knew."

    She gives me one last squeeze before taking my hand and pulling me towards the house, "Come on, it is almost supper, you can sit by me!"

    I giggle and wipe away what tears were left, "Thank you Rita, I feel much better."

    I follow her up the giant deck that led to the double back door, lined with dark maple and centered with a white and black marble, she opens the door and gestured for me to enter before her. I gasped at what lay before me, the home was huge! 

    Vaulted ceilings with tall beige walls lined by the same dark maple I am growing used to seeing. Gold framed paintings of wolves and family portraits lined the walls.  I followed her into an elevator and she pressed 2. The elevator bolted up before opening their doors once again.

    I then followed her through another set of double doors and realized we were in the dining room that I was in earlier, "Hurry we are late," Rita mumbles to me before pulling a chair out that was two seats down from the head of the table where Dean was sitting and watching everyone without eating a bite. I sit in the seat she pulled out and she sat beside Dean before glaring at him.

    As though she has said something through their minds, Dean stands up abruptly before grabbing his plate and glass of what I assumed to be a dark liquor, an stormed out of the double doors while they slammed shut after his leave. 

    I look down at the plate of steak and potatoes with green beans that Rita prepared for me, she smiled, "Eat up! You need some meat on those bones! Especially if you plan on training with me tomorrow."

    Everyone continues to eat and have conversation around us, but I could tell they were looking my way frequently and listening in to me an Rita's every word. I smile slightly, "Training?"

    The blonde haired main across from us looked up at Rita and me and smiled, "Don't worry, it's a good workout." 

    Rita looks at him and sticks her tongue out, "Oh, just a workout huh Jax? Last wolf I trained threw up his breakfast only ten minutes in!"

    He snorts and smiles, "Okay babe, I know, you are the best," before blowing her a kiss.

    Oh, so they were together, I look between the two who are gazing into each others' eyes as though the were reading the other's mind. 

    I hated to break any of it up, but look at Rita and look down again before saying, "Why does Dean hate me so much Rita."

    The whole table fell silent as they looked between the two of us with shock in their eyes. Rita looks up and glares at the table who quickly continued their dinner conversations. I saw Ezekiel whispering to the gorgeous blonde that was sitting beside him who was looking at me with curiosity in her bright blue eyes. 

    Rita frowns and looks at me, "He doesn't hate you Mel. Try not to worry about him for now."
