Chapter 11

1650 Words
Roque’s POV Having woken up from this hospital bed, I have been experiencing strange things. First offs, I have this new found energy and strength that I can’t seem to understand where it comes from. Frankly speaking, people waking up from the hospital are always weak. Well, mine is the complete opposite. I had bandages in both my upper arm and my thighs but felt no pain. In fact when the nice doctor pri removed the bandages there were small scars that were already healed, like a long ago scar. And then my biggest mystery is Victoria, she seemed to be very concerned about my condition, like she knew me from before. Even when our hands touched I felt this odd serene sensation. And I cant seem to forget about her. From her honey brown eyes, her cute round nose, her heart shaped lips, her curly dark hair, her body physique perfectly sculpted inside the sweats , I mean damn !!just thinking about her already makes my senior salute. Her scent, the scent of apples and cinnamon. Don’t even get me started. How she spoke so elegantly, she sure did radiate some kind of power in her. Like she’s a goddess or something. Come to think of it, doctor pri introduced her as their leader. I guess they are some kind of an organization or something like that. I went to do the scanning with pri and turns out am healthy, other that the fact I don’t remember how I got hurt or how they brought me here. Am trying to remember but I just end up having headaches and pri suggested I shouldn’t go so hard on myself. She said, it’s probably temporary and in a few weeks I might recover my memories back. Which wasn’t so promising but since it’s a doctors advise, I have no choice but to comply. However, deep down I really need to know, I don’t know why but I feel there’s something crucial about my lost memories. But for the time being, I will have to go back to my place though before that I need to see Victoria and thank her again for the warm hospitality and saving my life and maybe admire her flawlessness one last time. And did I tell you guys about her voice, like damn this woman has a captivating sound echoing from her sweet mouth, I could literally listen to her speak and yell but not get tired or offended. ,,,,,,,,,,, Seeing that no one is here at this hour, I decided to get out of the hospital room dressed in these ridiculously buggy hospital gowns. A blue trouser and matching shirt. Opening the door room slowly, I pace slowly on the corridor admiring the interior architecture of the building. It’s just an hospital but these people sure did take their sweet time to make it look good. Weirdly, I see no one walking around or even a sound coming from other rooms, I probably thought I was alone. I see the exit door and I begin walking towards it. The rays of the sun are reflecting the white tiled floor of the hospital from the grills of the door. It’s been a while since I last walked , but like I said earlier, am super energized so it’s no problem. Opening the door, my face is sun-kissed feeling great to receive my vitamin D, I stand my eyes closed enjoying the fresh breath. The smell of fresh leaves and the sound of birds chipping. It’s just six in the morning. Being in the hospital since yesterday, I only got to smell antiseptics and medicines, so you understand why am appreciating this breath from the outside. “Hey buddy , you must be one of the new pack member”, a masculine voice questions. I turn to meet a dark good looking guy with short waved hair , he really looked good. “Huh??”, I question not understand what he meant by ‘pack’. “Am Michael but you can call me,Micky”, he states cheerfully extending his hand on me to shake. I gladly play along and shook his hand smiling at him. “I’m Roque , it’s pleasure”, I politely respond. “Chill out dude, no need to be so formal. We’re a family now”, he states cheerfully tapping my shoulders. I like him already, in fact I like this place. If everyone is this friendly then I might as well stick around here for a while. “Thanks dude, I hope to see you around then”, I respond reciprocating his energy. “Yeah, we can go for the evening run together. I can show you around the woods . Cool places for hunting, the good juicy stuff, get it..”, micky merrily says. I don’t know if he’s talking in cryptography but I nod and played along. “Of course, I would really love the juicy stuffs”, I respond as he laughs and I join the laughter . I choose to use this opportunity to ask where Victoria might be , and because this people speak in latent and I heard earlier pri calling Victoria countless times alpha, I also did that. “Could you please direct me to where the Alpha is?”, I question hesitantly. His expression instantly change to worry and fear. “Why?, are you in trouble?”, he ask concern evident in his tone. “No not at all, I just need to talk to her about something”, I respond. “Oohh, well she might be in her office. But the Alpha can’t be spoken to just when you like it.”, he advices and I get confused. “Why?”, I question. “Well, I’m sure you’ve heard of her reputation. She’s a hot-temper, so a little advice. Avoid her and don’t get in trouble”, he explains in a whisper. “Okay, thanks for the heads up bro”, I respond but still confused by what he’s saying. Cause the Victoria I met is the complete opposite of what this guy is saying. “Anyways, take the East wing entrance and use the lift to the 2nd floor. The last door to your left is her office, break a leg”, he directs before giving me a nod. “Okay Micky, catchu later”, I state as I begin to walk to the place he directed. Stepping out of the premises of the hospital building, I’m in awe with what my eyes are witnessing. I’m standing in front of a castle, a castle bro. It’s massive, and beautiful. And although it looks old it has a touch of modernness. Am just on one side , which apparently it’s called the East wing but damn!, I have never seen anything like this before. There’s people moving up and down , others looking at me strangely and others acknowledging me with nod. The ladies smile at me and the men simply nod. There are strong , tall men standing almost all over the place. They look like guards. I mean what is this place, are they mafia or gangs. Cause this place radiates that kind of s**t. I keep walking wanderlessly just admiring and being astonished by the place. One thing I noticed is there’s a forest just outside the walls of the building. I could actually love to live in a place like this someday , because it’s secluded and there’s guaranteed security. Moreover, this people are super friendly. Being lost in admiration, I finally found the entrance gate , it’s a super large slide double door and two people are on guard. They don’t speak , they only give me one look and go back to their serious stoned face. Well, if it ain’t men in black , then I don’t know what this is. Soon as I get inside the building, there’s a lift just in front of the door. On the side there’s a door with a sign written ‘stairs’, other than that there’s literally nothing here. It’s looks like an emergency exit. I press the lift and it opens up, I walk inside and as expected it’s a A1 type of lift. Modest and comfy, all round ,golden. I press the second floor and in a swift the lift stops, it opens and I walk out. Well, getting out ,there’s a long corridor with four doors on each side. There’s flower ports on the mid of each two doors and the walls are royal purple in color. Unlike outside, there’s no guards outside the doors. I stride slowly heading to the last door to my left. The scent of apples and cinnamon lingers around the air, the more I pace forward the stronger the scent. I knew I was getting closer to Victoria . I begin to panic since I don’t know how am going to start a conversation with her. I even begin to doubt my decision to come here. This woman is super intimidating. Am I getting simple gestures get into my head?? , I start questioning myself. But since I had come this far, might as well just say hello and leave. Reaching the door, I wanted to twist the doorknob when I heard her voice, which held so much pain. It was a teary voice stating, “ he is my mate”, Then followed by a masculine voice saying something which I didn’t quite get well. Just the thought of Victoria and a man together had me feel my heart twisting and my throat ache. Why am I feeling like this, and without thinking. Irrationally, I twist the doorknob and walk inside questioning, “What’s a mate?”, What an embarrassing thing to do.
