Through Their Eyes

Chapter Seven

I woke up the next morning sore and stiff. I tried to move but I couldn’t move because a pair of arms were wrapped around my waist. I suddenly started worrying as I didn’t remember what had happened last night. As I closed my eyes again I started to remember everything from being welcomed officially into the pack, the argument with Venus and Ethan showing up at my house and comforting me over my ruined dress. I groaned and tried to move again, but I felt the weight around my waist get tighter. I look down to my waist and see Ethan sleeping underneath me. I gasped as I wondered why I was sleeping on him. I looked around and noticed I was in my sitting room on the couch. I checked my ankle and it had fully healed. I placed both of my palms on his chest and I bit my lip when all I felt was pure muscle. I must have hit a ticklish spot as he groaned and furrowed his eyebrows, as I let my hands roam over his chest and down to his six-pack that I guessed he must have. I took my chance to admire the guy I had fancied since I met him yesterday. I took the opportunity to admire the squareness of his jaw and lightly dragged the tip of my finger over his lips. His mouth opened ever so slightly as I paused my hand, I didn’t need to be caught now do I? I moved my hand higher and ran it gently through his hair. I grabbed my hand back when I felt that he was starting to wake up. I quickly pretended that I was still asleep and definitely, NOT, checking him out in his sleep. I felt him wake up but instead of pushing me off he kissed the top of my head and wrapped his arms tighter around my waist. I was playing with the idea that we were mates but even if we were I wouldn’t be able to know till my birthday. I opened my eyes and tried sitting up again when I heard a small growl coming from his chest. What the heck? Did he just growl? I looked up into those gorgeous eyes and saw that he was still sleepy. “Good morning Alpha, Sorry for falling asleep last night on you,” I whisper as I quickly sit up and go to the other end of the couch. “I hope you were not uncomfortable.” “No, I slept very well even tho this couch wasn’t kind on my back,” Ethan replied standing and cracking his back. “How is your ankle?” I looked at him and suddenly face palmed my face as I just remembered that I fell after my shower when I was going back to the sitting room to watch a movie with him. “It is healed thank you and thank you for keeping me company.” I smile up at him. “It was my pleasure,” he replied with that look in his eyes again. Why is he forever giving me that look? I wondered to myself. I suddenly jump up as I suddenly remembered I was in my PJs and must’ve looked a mess. I quickly glance at him before I turn around and run up the stairs to my room. I threw my pyjamas off as I rushed into the shower and quickly getting rushed. “Well, how did you get on with the Alpha last night?” Paige asked suddenly when I was washing my hair. “Did you not see what happened? First off he sees me proper ugly crying, then I fall when I go into the sitting after getting changed and to top it off I end up falling asleep on him making him spend the night.” I groan as I wash the shampoo out of my hair. “It was a good night even tho I wanted to rip that girl’s head off but I’m proud of you,” Paige said as I turned off the shower. Wrapping a fluffy towel around me I walked back into my room. I sighed as I opened the door to my closet and pulled out my light blue ripped jeans with a white T-shirt. I grabbed my t-shirt white bra and white pants as I got dressed. I was praying that he would still be there after I had finished getting changed. I pulled out my white converse before pulling my hair into a high ponytail and then adding a little bit of mascara and lip gloss before heading downstairs. I glanced in the mirror again and gathering my courage I left my room and headed downstairs. When I walked to the bottom of the stairs I noticed that Ethan wasn’t there anymore, I don’t why but I felt disappointed that he hadn’t stayed until I got back downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and saw my dad sitting at the table with a newspaper and a hot cup of coffee. My mum was at the cooker frying some sausages, bacon and eggs. “Good morning, How was the rest of the party? I’m sorry for making a scene, but she ruined my dress mum,” I said as I threw myself into a chair at the table. “Morning, honey,” my mum said as she put a full plate down in front of me. “The rest of the party went well. We were able to meet so many people.” “Morning, Alex,” my dad said sighing as he closed the paper and folding it onto the table. “We need to say something about last night’s...altercation with you and the Venus girl.” “Dad, I’m sorry she poured her drink over the dress mum had given me,” I pleaded with my dad and trying to work out if I was in trouble or not. “Honey, the way you stood up to her was great, but you could’ve done it after the party.” my dad said his eyes flickered with amusement. “As long as you didn’t start then I’m proud of you for what you did.” I squealed as I jumped off my chair and rushed around to my dad and giving him a bear hug. “Thank you, Dad,” I said as I returned to my chair. “I knew I should’ve come to you both after I did it but I was upset over my dress being ruined. I just wanted to come home.” I felt my mum’s arm around my shoulders, “Dear, we will have a look at the dress and see if we can save it, OK,” my mum said comforting me. “Plus I think there is another matter we need to talk about.” I groan as I fold my arms on the table and let my arms fall onto them. Please don’t let them be talking about me and Ethan. I felt my mum sit down in the chair beside me as she put her hand on my back. I turned my head while I kept it on my arms and looked at my mum. She was talking to my dad through their mind link. “Right I need to go and see when you can start training,” my dad announced as he quickly stood up and left the kitchen. I hear my mum sigh as she probably didn’t know where to start. “Honey, we know the Alpha stayed last night as when we came in you both were sound asleep on the couch,” my mum started looking at me. “It was very cute seeing you both like that as he left right after you did last night.” “Mum, I promise nothing happened,” I straightened up in my chair and stared at my mum with wide eyes. “He found me sitting on the steps here and comforted me when I was crying over my dress. I offered him to come inside and have a drink, then I ran upstairs and got changed into my pyjamas. As I came back down I twisted my ankle, mum it’s all healed don’t worry, I asked him to stay with me and we started watching a film. Then I don’t know what happened but the next thing I knew I had fallen asleep on his shoulder.” I let out a breath as I was finished saying what happened. I saw humour cross my mum’s face as she smiled and clasped my hands firmly. “Honey, we knew nothing happened as if anything did then you both would be in your bedroom,” My mum gently, “Your father’s face was funny when we got in last night and walked in to see his daughter sleeping on top of the Alpha.” We both pictured the look my dad would’ve had on his face as if it was possible he would have had steam coming out of his ears. We were laughing that much we ended up holding our stomachs in pain from laughing too much. “I hope he doesn’t have a go at Ethan,” I said before both me and my mum burst into another laughing fit. “Now go and get your dress and we will see how much damage there is and see if we can rescue it,” My mum shooed me out of the kitchen and I walked up the stairs still holding my stomach as it was still sore from the laughter. I walk into my room and stand there wondering where I took the dress off. I walked into my bathroom and saw the dress in front of the sink. I picked it up and sighed as I hoped we are able to save it as I love the dress. I walked back downstairs with the dress in my hands and walking back into the kitchen to where my mum was waiting. “Mum, I don’t think we can save it,” I whisper as she came over to me and taking the dress from my hands. “I hope it’s not ruined.” “Let’s just wait and see shall we?” my mum answered as she inspected the big stain that went from the neckline down to the waist. “Well luckily it was only a soft drink,” I hear my mum mutter as she put the dress in the sink and walked to the cupboard which housed all her cleaning things. “Alex, stop standing there moping and come and help me.” I hadn’t realised I was standing there like a statue until my mum asked me to help her. I’m doing the daydreaming thing an awful lot since yesterday. “OK, mum what do you need me to do?” “First off start the hot water and push the stained material into the water see if anything comes off before we add anything,” my mum ordered powerfully. She wanted the dress to be saved as it held great memories for her and my dad. After I filled the sink up with hot water I picked the dress and plunged the stained part into the water. I gasped as the hot water stung my hands making them sore. I gritted my teeth as my hands got used to the hot water. I brought my hands out of the water and noticed that they were as red as a tomato. I was willing to do anything to get that dress back to its former glory. I pushed my hands back into the water as I started the stain and watched the stain turn the water a very light pink. “Mum, mum it’s coming out but it still looks terrible,” I scream to my mother who was still looking in her cupboard for something. “Mum, what do we do now?” “Stop shouting, I can hear you just fine,” my mum grumbled as she came over to me holding a bottle of some cleaning product I have never heard of. “Alex, go and grab your dad’s shaving foam.” I looked at her like she had grown another head. “Why do you need the shaving foam?” I ask but she just gives the do as your told look which makes me run to their room and grab the foam. I rush back to my mum as she’s hunched over the sink scrubbing at the stain trying to get it out. I walked over to the sink where she was working and noticed the water a lot redder than what it was before I left the kitchen. “Alex, go and do something while I deal with this as it’s stubborn,” my mum said as she kept scrubbing the stain. “I should’ve put in water to soak last night or told you to do it, but I forgot when we walked in on you and the Alpha.” I groan suddenly embarrassed. “I’m not going to live that down am I?” I asked and when I didn’t get a reply I left the kitchen as quickly as I could. As I stood in the sitting room I sat on the couch and I remembered what happened the night before as I lay body fully on the couch and stretched and decided on what to do to pass the time. My phone buzzed in my pocket when I pulled it out I saw that it was Faith. “Alex, thank goodness. You ever answer your phone anymore or were you to busy?” Faith screamed down the phone at me. “Geez, Faith I was helping my mum fix my dress from last night,” I answered her once she had stopped her screaming. “I had to go home as I felt embarrassed from slapping that tart.” “You were amazing last night and you could hear that slap from miles away,” Faith said laughing. “She went on about the rest of the night and kept looking for the Alpha. She was saying that when she was Luna she was going to kick you out for slapping her. Plus she also said she would’ve slapped you back if she wanted to.” I ended up sitting up as I listened to Faith as she rambled on about the friends she had made and that everyone was talking about what happened. She had started to say something else but stopped herself in time before I could catch what she was about to say. “Plus there’s a rumour that the Alpha stayed over in she-wolf’s house last night,” Faith was saying. I almost dropped my phone when she said that. “What did you say just now?” I asked now fully alert. “Yeah, people are talking that he spent the night with some she-wolf last night as he left right after you and never came back to the party last night.” Faith said aimlessly. “Faith, he was here with me last night. He had come over to see if I was alright and I asked him to stay till my parents got home but we ended up falling asleep on the couch,” I whisper into the phone. “Seriously! And when were you going to tell me?” Faith had started screaming down the phone at me again. “Faith it’s no big deal as nothing happened,” I muttered knowing she would jump to the extreme and think something rather raunchy happened. “We fell asleep and woke up this morning and he left when I went upstairs to get changed.” As I told Faith that nothing happened I was hoping that something would happen between me and Ethan but nothing could as we both needed to find our mates.
