My Alpha, My Love

chapter 4 - Octavia

I wake up what feels like forever and take in my surroundings. I'm in a cute little bedroom. Yellow walls and unicorn decorations everywhere. It smells like roses and yet familiar, I can smell his scent in the air, yet I know it's not his room.

I get up and my body is extremely sore, I stretch and look into the mirror. I gasp in confusion. I look like me, but I'm beautiful now. My damaged half curly brown hair is now long down to the middle of my back and my full brown eyes now a piercing lightning blue. My skin which used to be riddled with pimples and scars look flawless and evenly smooth. My body used to be a stick, now lush in curves.

I check myself out in the mirror.

I realize that I'm wearing clothes that isn't mine and it dawns on me that someone else got me dressed in booty shorts and a tank top with zero undergarments.

I remember I was in a man's arms last night completely vulnerable. I frown and pull at my hair blushing furiously, I curl up on the floor by the side of the bed trying to process everything that happened last night, or I think last night.

I have no idea what time or even what day it is. I look around the room some more and realize I won't get any answers from here so I stand up and go to the door. I put my ear up against the door. I don't hear anyone and my hearing is pretty great now I think.

So I open the door ever so slightly and look. The hallway looks like a castle hallway but has a feminine touch to it. I start off by taking a left down the hallway not really knowing where to go. I keep walking until I hear some voices and stop before they can see me.

"I need to know what her name is, how do you guys have nothing?! It's been three days and she still hasn't woken up. What pack is she from? No one is missing a member of their pack?"

I hear Julian's frustrated voice and automatically want to go to him but I stay rooted where I am.

"Julian, I think our best option is to wait until she wakes up man, we've done all of the searching we can."

CRASH!

I hear glass break onto the floor and I flinch backwards.

"WHAT IF SHE DOESN'T WAKE UP?"

I hear Julian scream at the other man. I think now is a good time to walk in, my anxiety is through the roof, what do I say to him?

'dont say anything stupid' the woman inside my head says.

I grab my arms together, and carefully stride out into the room, "Um.. Hi." I say bashfully looking through my hair.

The men gape at me, staring straight at me. Julian's eyes lock straight into mine and I can't help but blush and look away.

'You said something stupid.' She says annoyingly.

Julien walks towards me and stops out of arms length. "Who are you?" He reaches out to me but stops before touching me. That frustrating feeling of him wanting to touch me, to give me comfort rises in my chest and I can't help but lash out.

"How do you not know who I am because I sure as hell know who you are Julian!" I stop and stare at him in irritation.

He looks even more confused than before and I smirk at the feeling. I hear his friends chuckle behind him ,"oh feisty one for you Julian."

He glares at them with a growl, then looks back at me aspirated, "please can I know your name, or even what pack you're from." He sounds so sad that it makes me regret being mean towards him.

I stutter out, "M-my name is Octavia, um.. What's a pack?" I look at him curiously.

The look on his face, I might as well have hit him. "How do you not have a pack Octavia?" He almost growls the question at me, Julian saying my name sends shivers down my spine and my checks flush with the feeling. I think he could sense my reaction and went stiff, blood rushing to his face.

His friends excuse themselves from the room. "I was adopted as a kid, I've never known my parents, or at least I can't remember them." I shift uncomfortably and my stomach growls. I realize that we're in the kitchen and my lips feel parched and my stomach empty. He motions for me to sit down and I tell him everything, the dreams, the party, my friend, and turning into a wolf. I still can't wrap my head around the last part. I wonder if my parents knew. I have more questions than answers. Julian sits next to me and hands me fried eggs and bacon. I start to dig in feeling ravenous. "After a shift you'll feel very hungry, so make sure you eat beforehand to keep up your health." I look over at him and blush, I have a mouth full of food and he's looking at me like I'm the most beautiful person he's ever seen. With a mouth full of food I make a noise that sounds okay. He chuckled and pushed loose strands of hair behind my ear. The touch was electric, he barely touched me yet I'm hyper aware of every second. I blush deeper than before and my heart drums at the expectation. I've never felt this way but it seems effortless with him. "Julian.." I say stretching it out, wanting him to touch me again. This feeling of lust I've never experienced before. He looks at me bewildered, but I can see the arousal in his eyes and somewhere else. He bends down and lands a heated kiss on my lips. I've never been with anyone before but the experience does nothing to ruin the moment. I stand up to match his pace, rushing into his hold. Feeling him up against my body makes a pool of liquid form below. He grabs my body and hugs me closer. It dawns at me that I've just met this man and my body reacts in self defense. She's whining in my brain for more. I'm huffing wanting more but my mind finally caught up with my body. "How was it?" It was the only thing I could muster out. He looks at me perplexed and then it dawns on him, "you're a virgin." He stands up and backs away from me. "Is that a problem?" I say anxiously. He shakes his head no but his eyes are telling me yes. I look down at my food and continue eating. Not wanting to look back up at him. I don't want to feel this way, I just want to be normal. I start to scarf down the food and I hear him talking to me but I'm not paying attention. My eyes are starting to water at this overwhelming feeling of wanting to go home. Mom and dad must be so worried about me, Alyssa as well. I stand straight up and Julian jolts a little. "I need my phone please, so I can go home."
