Betrayed by the Alpha's Son

CHAPTER EIGHT

Everything seemed to be going well, not until James started acting weird. I always thought he had a strange sense of humor but this time around it was different.

After the tragic death of my mother and best friend happened, I moved in with James. He actually insisted that I should leave with him, so that he should keep an eye on me.

His house was big and very beautiful, it was well laid out and the balcony view was to die for

But to my surprise, no one ever came over to visit. Every time I asked him why nobody comes he always gave me the same answer which was, he doesn't have friends and he's all alone. I let it be that way because I felt sorry for him, but hey, we had each other so that was more than enough I guess.

Sometimes he would ask me to get something done for him in the basement, which by the way always took much of my time then later do something special for me. At first, I thought it was cute then as time went by, it became weird.

I wanted to say something but I couldn't because that was his way of gifting me or surprising me, so I watch everything take place. Besides, I was living in his house. I let him have it.

One day, while James and I were sitting and having a normal conversation, we heard voices coming from outside, we both stood up at the same time to try and see who was there. To me, it was so strange. James's reaction really got me thinking.

"Go to the basement now!!!" He said with a serious face.

"Why, what's happening"?

"I'll explain later just hurry up and go, do not come out until I tell you to".

I rushed to that door and I was there standing looking at him. He turned back and saw me standing then he made signs telling me to go, I immediately ran to the basement.

I really wanted to see what was happening but I went and hid because I thought maybe it would be dangerous and I would risk James's life. I could not hear a thing as I was there I was starting to think he planned everything because the basement was soundproof.

I stayed in the basement for like an hour plus just waiting for James to tell me I could come out. As I was pacing around I hit a loose floorboard. I bend down to try and fix it then realized it was actually a door. I caught my attention, I looked at the door which led to the kitchen to see any signs of James coming, but it was quiet. As soon as I tried to open the door I hit into, James walked in.

"Hey, are you okay? You can come out now, they are gone". He walked closer to where I was.

"Yeah. I'm okay I just tripped on this loose floorboard but I'm okay".

He rushed and helped me up.

"But how did you trip on it? Please be more careful". He moved me from that spot as fast as he could like he was trying to make sure I don't see what was below it.

"Yes, I'll do that but won't you fix it so that something like this never happens again".

"I'll fix it later, okay" now let's go back to the living room.

I just had to know what was in there or my curiosity would not let me live in peace.

We went to the living room and sat on the couch. I looked at him waiting for him to explain what happened.

"You really enjoy looking at me uh", why are you looking at me if I may ask?

"Are you not going to tell me who came and why you asked me to hide, in the basement for that matter".

"It's complicated, I'm owing some people money and they are dangerous people, I don't have their money right now. I knew that if they saw you here they would have gotten you in exchange for their money and I wouldn't let that happen, that's why I told you to hide".

"I'm really sorry I had no idea, but how much do you owe them? I would love to help you out. "

"No. Don't worry about it, I have everything under control I'll fix it okay? don't worry "

"Look I want to help, you've done so much for me let me do something for you too James".

"I would really appreciate that, but like I said I have everything under control and you are repaying me by staying here with me it gets a little lonely when you're all alone".

"Okay if you insist. But if anything comes please consider me, I will be more than happy to help. I'll be in my room if you need me". I stood up and went upstairs.

As I walked upstairs I looked at the basement and began to wonder what was down there. I knew that I would have to wait for James to leave the house in order for me to see what was there.

My problem was, if I see something that is strange, all I wanted was to find information about it. The secret door was all I could think of and I know that it might have seemed to be sneaky but hey a girls gat to know what a girls gat to know.

After spending a few hours in my room I thought of seeing what James was up to I left my room and slowly and quietly walked downstairs. As I got to the living room, James was fast asleep on the couch. I saw an opportunity and use it to my advantage.

I made my way to the basement while maintaining the slow and quiet walk. I got in and quickly moved to the secret door. But to my surprise, James had already fixed the loose floorboard.

Damn it.

Now I had to wait for him to leave the house. I have to come up with a plan to get him out of the house. The more I looked at it the more I wanted to see what was in It and the more I thought of ways of getting him out of the house.

"I got it. Yes" I quickly rushed to the living room and like expected, James was still sleeping on the couch. I didn't know whether to wake him or just let him sleep because he looked so peacefully asleep but my curiosity got the best of me. I woke him up.

"James. Hey James, I'm sorry for waking you but I really have to talk to you about something".

I had to lie about something and honestly, I was going to say the first thing that could come to my mind.

"Yes. You can tell me anything, I'm listening".

"Well, the thing is, I have a medical condition, that comes and goes. I can control it but only if I have the medication but apparently I don't have any right now.

"What's, really?" What condition is it?

"I really do not like talking about it, and I fail to say It. It's embarrassing". I bowed my head down trying to show that I was not happy with my condition I honestly could not think of anything but that.

"You can trust me with anything, and if you tell me what condition it is I might just help you a little better than I would when I don't know".

“Okay. I have epilepsy"

"Oh, I'm sorry about that, regardless of what condition you have I'll still look at you the same. And I understand you couldn't tell me but if you had told me earlier like you have today, I would have made sure I pay extra attention to your health. I would have brought and kept the medication. What if it came without you preparing? Okay, I'll go and get some right away. Do you have a prescription"?

I felt bad after lying to him but I was going to make things right. I did not have the prescription and I had no idea of what medicine to take. I guess I didn't think it through I had to lie again to prevent being caught.

"I think I took a picture of it, let me look for it on my phone and in the meantime, you can prepare yourself yeah?"

I had to make sure he left to change just to avoid him asking me questions, he immediately went to his room to change without hesitation. Since I did not have it let alone know what medicine was meant for the illness. I Google searched it. Smart right?

I got what I wanted I looked up the name of the medication and how you can prevent it well just in case he asked about that. As soon as he was done dressing up, he came back to me to where I was sitting.

"Have you found it"?

"Uh. No but the name of the medication is *********yes you can find it in any pharmacy or drug store".

Well of course I googled if you could get the medication without a prescription. I had the entire issue at the back of my hand.

"Okay I'll be right back, understand no circumstances should you open the door not even if someone comes do not open it".

"I promise I won't".

He walked out got into his car and drove out. I had to make sure he moved far from home then make a move. After a few seconds passed, I ran to the bathroom and tried to figure out how the hell I would open the freaking door.

I remembered that I saw a screwdriver in James's bedroom closet, I immediately ran there, grabbed it, and went back to the basement. I managed to open the door carefully with great difficulty.

I did not know what to expect, so I got a little scared but didn't let that hold me back, so I went in.

"Oh my God", I gasped.
