Alpha's Twisted Love

Five I Finding The Truth

Ophelia P.O.V.

   I've never felt like this before...my skin feels like it's up in flames. My heart is racing a mile a minute, yet I can’t bring myself to pull away. I think I felt...sparks? I’ve never wanted to be so close to someone before. Myles was different though, he was intoxicating.

   Our movie has drawn to an end and I only managed to watch half of it. The other half was spent with him and I sucking each other's faces off, and I didn’t have any will to stop.

  “OPHELIA!” I heard from the entrance of the theater room. Oh my moon goddess. What have I done?!

   I snapped my head towards the door quickly to see who was standing there. Low and behold it was Carter. I quickly began to panic and babble complete nonsense. How was I going to explain this to my brother, to Alex too? 

   I rushed over to Carter and the first thing I could see was his now black eyes. His facial expression screamed angry in every way possible. I know Alex and him are friends, but he wouldn’t actually go against his own sister would he?

   “Carter! What are you doing here? I told you that I wanted the theater to myself today.” I questioned.

   “Yeah, I know but you didn’t tell me you invited someone from our school over. When mom asked who it was I was totally clueless! So I came to find out and what do I walk into? You KISSING another guy, so unless Alexander is wearing a disguise, I suggest you explain yourself.” He shook his head at me like a disappointed father.

   I took Carter’s hand and led him out of the theater while closing the door. This wasn’t something that Myles needed to hear in my opinion.

   “Look...I like Alex. I really do, he’s good to me. He’s sweet, funny, and caring-”

   “So why’re you doing that with another man then?” He spit back.

   “If you’d let me finish talking please, that would be nice. I like him, BUT when I’m around him my heart doesn’t race. He doesn’t occupy my thoughts even when he’s not around. He just makes me happy.” I said confidently. I didn’t even realize that I felt this way until now. I thought Alex would be my mate for the longest time. He always treated me right, and was there for me when I needed someone the most. But, he didn’t make me feel the way that Myles did. 

   I feel a couple of tears run down my face while I wait for Carter's response. He’s clearly analyzing my face, probably trying to tell if I’m being honest or not. 

   Carter’s face softens up and I see a small smile tugging at his cheeks. Unexpectedly, he pulls me in for a hug and wipes my tears away.

   “Lia, you know that I just want whatever is best for you. I don’t want Alex to get hurt either though, so I think you need to tell him what happened. However, before that, you need to introduce me to the guy in there.” He said bluntly.

   I shook my head quickly in agreement and walked back into the theater. I strode over to Myles and grabbed his hand, pulling him towards the door. It wasn’t until Myles and Carter stood next to each other that I realized how close in height they were to one another. Is Myles an alpha too? He doesn’t seem phased by Carter’s alpha aura he’s putting out. I quickly shook that thought out of my head. He couldn’t be an alpha, if he were then he would need to be back at his pack learning the ways of leading. 

   “I’m Carter, Carter Blackwood, nice to meet you.” He said sternly while slightly glaring. When Myles’ face didn’t change, Carter looked quite confused. He must’ve been thinking the same thing I was.

   “Hello Carter, I’m Myles Grey.” He stated with the most confidence I’ve ever witnessed. 

   No way, Grey? As in the Storm Moon Clan? That would make him an alpha after all...but, not even a regular alpha. He would have to be one of the strongest, if not the strongest alpha in the area. My eyes went wide as I made the realization that I had a crush on an alpha. 

   “Storm Moon Clan, correct?” I felt my brother's energy shift. He began to tense up a bit.

   “Indeed, I’m the next alpha to be, I assume you’ll be taking over for Alpha Marcus?” Myles questioned.

   “Yes I will. My twin brother Carson will be my beta as well. My concern here, however, is not about your rank nor your pack. I would even like to discuss the possibility of an alliance in the future with you at some point. For now though, I need to be sure that you have only the best intentions with my sister. As not only her future alpha, but her older brother I must ensure that she is in safe hands with you.” He warns Myles.

   “Your sister, quite literally took my breath away from the minute I saw her. She hasn’t left my mind since, nor do I want her to. I only wish to treasure her and make her the happiest girl alive.” The way he looked down at me when he was speaking. It almost brought me to tears. How could he already feel so much for me, when we barely knew each other? He is older than me though, is it possible that I could be his mate? Does he feel that way? What about Alex? What do I do?

   “Guys...I don’t- I don’t feel so…” suddenly my vision went black and my body went limp.

   “Alex, I need to tell you something. You’re not going to like it and I don’t like it either,but you deserve to know. Myles and I kissed, multiple times. I don’t regret doing it, but I regret hurting you.” 

   “Alex! Say something please!” I begged and cried. I hugged his body tight but he was stiff. He looked at me with pure rage and for a moment I was scared of what might happen next. 

  “Ophelia, I never would have imagined that you were some sort of slut. An ungrateful one at that! After all I’ve done for you! I gave you everything you could have needed!” He shouts. 

   I feel him push me away roughly and I fall to the floor. This isn’t good! If he doesn’t calm down now he might actually hurt me! 

   “Alex please!! I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize that we were better as best friends! I should’ve left our relationship as that!” I pleaded hoping it would stop any future attack.

   Unfortunately, I was that lucky. Alex walked over grabbing me by my hair and pulling me towards the door. This hurts so bad! I can’t even make a sound, all I can do is cry. 

  Alex then moves his hand up that is holding my hair until I’m standing again. He continues his vicious attack by slapping me across the face and screaming horrible slurs at me! 

   I’ve had enough. I’m a strong alpha, even if I am a girl. He is only a beta, there is no way he could beat me even if he tried. Luckily we were on the same level, neither of us being able to shift into our wolf form yet. However, I did discover how to use my alpha tone, and I plan to use it now.

   “ENOUGH, YOU WILL NOT  DEGRADE ME ANYMORE. DO REMEMBER THAT YOUR ALPHA IS MY FATHER. HE NOR I WILL TOLERATE THIS TREATMENT.” I roar. Usually I’m never like this but he was hurting me and I could tell my life was in danger.

   For a minute Alex submitted and released his grip, but then somehow he snapped out of it. This must be because I can't fully shift yet. Either way, it bought me enough time to run out of the door and down the street. All I heard was Alex’s voice in my ears screaming at me to come back as I ran towards the pack house.

   I woke up to the sound of people chatting around me. As I blink slightly to try and get a clearer view of my surroundings, I realize that I’m in my bed. This brought me a lot of comfort knowing that Alexander wasn’t actually trying to kill me, yet. That dream frightened me more than I could have ever imagined. Alexander...my first and last crush. 

   Myles steps into my view and puts a cold compress on my head. I must’ve passed out with all of this new stress. I’ve never been the best at performing well under pressure, but I didn’t have much time to think about that as I saw my father walking into the room.

   “Ophelia, are you okay honey?” He came over and hugged me lightly. I looked around the room while wrapping my still shaking hands around him. Everyone was here-mom, dad, the twins, Myles, even Mrs.Kirk. I must’ve really scared them.

   “I’m alright dad, I probably just passed out from stress and not properly taking care of myself.” I smiled lightly. 

   He seemed to be satisfied with that answer judging by his nodding and telling me to take better care of myself. And just like that, another fear of mine was happening before my eyes. My father asked to see Myles in his office, leaving me with the rest of them. Moon Goddess, please let me fall back asleep, this is going to be a fiasco. After failing to fall asleep, I decided to tell my mom all about what happened. Needless to say, she was very surprised.
