The Legend of the Chosen

CHAPTER 4: MR. BLUE EYES– Alexa’s POV

I woke up in a hospital room and saw two people talking at the feet of my bed. I recognized the one on the left as he was the guy I had literally bumped into last night, while the person on the right I had never seen before but judging by her white coat I assumed she was a doctor. I tried to sit up, and that’s when they both looked at me and the doctor asked me: “How are you feeling?” and I answered with a very shaky and croaked voice: “Ok”.

My mouth was dry and so the doctor handed me a glass of water and helped me sit up. At that point, the doctor said to the other guy: “I’ll leave you to it and call him” and I watched her leave the room.

I looked back and saw that the other guy had sat down on a chair placed against the wall and was very openly started at me.

After a minute I stated: “Do you always stare at people like that? Cause it’s creepy”.

At that he answered: “Sorry, it’s just that you look like any normal human woman”.

“Well… thank you?” I replayed giving him a confused look.

He ignored my comment and continued:” I just can’t believe you actually were able to go near an Alpha and attack him. You’re fit and all, but you don’t strike me as the combative type.

“Excuse me?! Who are you to judge? And by the way, I did not attack him, it was self-defense! Who are you anyway?” I asked.

Before he could answer, another male voice interrupted our conversation: “I think that you should answer that question, don’t you think Miss? Considering that you broke on our territory without permission, lead three angry men on our territory, risked the safety of two guards and are using our hospital recourses because you fainted. Therefore, I think that Jeremy here can go back to his duties and you can come with me.”

The guy, apparently called Jeremy, looked at him, nodded and left, without even glancing at me, whilst the other guy came standing next to my bed.

He was about my age, I thought, about 25/26 years old, he was tall and muscular, his hair was completely black, cut short but not too much, his face features were solid and muscular, balanced out by his soft cheeks and petit nose. His eyes were absolutely beautiful, blue as ice, the kind that seem to look through your body and directly into your soul. He was so handsome and rather sexy that I simply stared at him, without answering him. Even when he continued: “Come on, the doctor said your good to go” I remained completely still, staring into his mesmerizing eyes. He was so intoxicatingly handsome that I started thinking about what it would feel like if my hands were to brush through his hair, caress his face and gently explore his body starting from his broad shoulders in order to go down to his…

“Well?” he asked after a few seconds with an annoyed look on his perfect face. That got me out of my trance and I clumsily asked: “Sorry what? Go where? Who are you? What?”

He sighed and looked around the room, when his eyes landed the chair against the wall, he picked it up and brought it next to my bed. He sat on it, looked at me and said: “I can see from your blank expression that you’re rather confused, so” he paused for a second “let’s start from the beginning, what’s your name?”.

I blinked a few times because it was rather difficult to concentrate with him looking at me so directly, analyzing me, but I finally managed to state my name: “Alexa Winter”. He nodded at me and responded: “Ok Alexa, what happened yesterday night?” and that’s when everything came flooding back to me like a slap in the face: the creepy dude, the bathroom, the monster, the police station, the run…

I must have been showing my anxiety and terror because the gorgeous man in front of me quickly sat on the side of my bed and put his hand on mine and hushed: “You’re safe know, you’re in our pack hospital and no one will hurt you, do you understand?” I nodded but it was still hard to breathe and as he squeezed my hand and looked at me, I felt myself believe him.

He continued: “Alexa in order to continue to keep you safe I need to know what happened. The doctor said that you are physically fine, except for a bruise on your arm and waist, did he hurt you?” I was touched by his tone, a mixture of worry and anger, he had no idea who I was and yet he was concerned.

So I answered with: “He cornered me alone in the bathroom of the bar, grabbed me and pushed me against the bathroom wall…”

He was really looking at me now, with those perforating eyes: “and you kicked him in the balls?”.

I don’t know why but I suddenly felt overwhelmed and I snapped: “Wouldn’t you?! If a complete stranger was dangerously holding you, giving you all the wrong signals?! Do you think it’s my hobby to kick people in the balls? And that I enjoy being chased like a f**king pray through town? Huh?!”

I didn’t realize I was shouting at him until I noticed his amused expression.

“What?!” I snapped again at him.

He continued looking at me with his amused face and smiled: “Nothing, I didn’t expect you to snap at me like that for no reason, you looked so harmless a few seconds ago.”

“Listen, I am not an i***t ok? I realize I pi**ed off a powerful guy so I just need your help to figure out what to do next” I stated.

“Oh no, my friends. Alice saw everything, they could go after her too!” I yelled realizing they could be in danger.

“Don’t worry, we took care of it. They are safe and for security reasons we told them not to contact you just yet.” I nodded worried.

He became thoughtful for a moment and said: “Why did you come here? Why this pack?”.

I looked at him and simply said: “I live next door, the gray block of flats on the border”.

At that, he stood up and said: “Come on, we need to talk about this properly in the Alpha’s offices and see what can be done”. A began to get out of bed, when I realized I had on one of those hospital gowns, so I looked up at him and asked: “Do you know where my clothes are?”

He nodded towards a table saying: “I’ll meet you outside” and left.

I got out of bed and got dressed in the same clothes of the night before. I looked in the bathroom mirror and realized I was a complete mess, so I fixed my drooled mascara and brushed my hair with my fingers. Much better! I looked more like myself now.

I looked for my bag but didn’t find it, who knew where that was, Carolina probably had taken it home with her. As I opened the door, I realized how messed up the whole situation was and felt pretty alone.

I found Mr. Blue eyes, I still didn’t know his name yet, waiting for me outside. When he saw me, he looked at me, up and down, making me feel very conscious about my body, so I asked with an obvious annoyed tone: “What are you looking at?”.

At that he chuckled and answered: “Your attire”.

“What about it?” I asked folding my arms.

He answered me with “I don’t know how appropriate it would be to go and have a meeting looking so sexy…” he quickly rearranged his wording by adding “I mean with those clothes.”

I couldn’t help myself and smiled at his words, so I said sarcastically: “Yeah, we wouldn’t want everyone at the meeting to be turned on by this attireand get distracted by my sexinesswhile I’m asking for help now would we?”.

He stepped closer to me and answered with a very serious tone: “The people attending this meeting are high ranching and would never be distracted for such an important matter.”

“Well then, I don’t see the problem with my attire, let’s go” I smiled widely as I gestured him with my hand to lead the way. He looked at me with a blank expression and began walking. I followed him outside of the building, where the sun was about to hide behind the trees letting me know that I had slept nearly all day.
