The Rogue Alpha's Bastard

A Dream...?

Roxara’s POV

    Wolves howling fills the night. The moonlight shines down highlighting the forest beyond the boarders? Snow flurries around my vision is blurred. I follow toward the moonlight the closer I get the clearer my vision becomes. Stumbling along the snow is high making my strides slow and difficult.

    I cross the border the snow freezes in time. The howling stops… I hear a growl emanating from the brush. A pair of red eyes look towards me…I feel as though I need to follow them. The eyes then look towards an all too familiar cliff. I walk there every step I take closer to the cliff, I feel weaker. Blood drips from unseen wounds all over my body. I walk to the cliff on the ground lays my body covered in blood just as I am now.

    I lay alone until an ethereal white wolf looks down at my body.  A horrifying scream of familiar woman echoes from all around me! The wolf looks towards me sadden and bows her head. She looks towards the moon and light rays envelope my body on the cliff and it vanishes.

    Me and this wolf stand there her stare is calming but suddenly I can’t breathe! Blood is pouring from my mouth; It starts to fill my lungs. I choke on my own blood and fall to the ground. I claw and scratch at my throat to no avail… Then I feel it…my heart stops! I hear the long beep of a heart monitor. My head rolls back; I am looking at the moon. I can’t move but I see the beautiful wolf come up to me and puts her forehead to mine.

    I immediately take a breath and watch the wolf run into the woods. A bright trail left behind her, she looks back at me and points her head to follow. I can’t move and just helplessly watch as she leaves. The light of moon my only comfort. I feel my consciousness fading and the world fades to black slowly. The last thing I see is the red eyes I saw earlier staring at me from afar.

     *beep… beep… beep* ugh goddess! What hellish spawn has an alarm clock going off right now. I open my eyes slowly the light seeps in and stings my vision as it clears. I rub my eyes and groan taking stock of where I am. I’m in the recovery room in the pack house? I am alone… no one is here with me? I sit up and “f**k!” the moment I move, my body is in searing pain!

      The beeps of the heart monitor go faster and faster causing me to grab my head in pain. The door suddenly burst’s open and three figures rush in. I instinctively scream covering my head with my arms and start to feel the tears streaming down my face. Someone is back to finish me off is my only thought, when I feel a hand softly lowering my arms.

    “shh, shh, girly it’s okay! No one’s here to hurt you. Ester get the doctor the heart monitor is going off!”

    I slowly open my eyes and breathe a sigh of relief. I see my bestie looking at me with a comforting smile. I am so happy to see him! I notice Zane is behind him staring at me with worry. Before I can say anything, the doctor walks in and starts examining me.

    “hmm… she looks okay physically, well… okay as can be expected but something like this could bring a lot of mental stress. I want her here for at least the afternoon. She may possibly be released after that.”

    Zane walks up to me and kneels next to my bed “hey…are you okay? Who did this to you?”

     My heart races as the thoughts comes back of what happened. I was there lying in my blood alone in the dark. I could only breathe but even that got harder as time went on. I started to panic and the heart monitor went crazy!

    “Hey someone calm her! This is too much stress on the body!” the doctor yelled

     My vision blurred and I couldn’t process anything the world was out of focus! My chest is tight, and my breath is quick. Then I feel someone hold me on the bed; I calmed immediately. Zane was holding me, stroking my hair. I looked up at him and I felt calm but exhausted; my eyelids drooped.

    “Shh, princess it’s okay go to sleep I’ll stay here, you’ll be safe with me” he whispered.

     I was surprisingly comfortable the feeling of him holding me. I felt so exhausted letting sleep take hold of me. My sleep filled with weird dreams. I woke up later that afternoon ; still in Zane’s arms. He was asleep. He sprung awake when I moved. His vibrant yellow eyes stared down at me and Rocks started to purr.

    “I-I want my mom” I say quietly

    “I am here Roxy” my mom says from a chair on the other side of the room

    “I want Wolfy mama… I’m anxious”

    “okay I’ll be right back” she got up and left the room.

     I looked at Danny and Zane watching me not wanting to frighten me they were silent and still. Zane looks at me and gently asks “who did this to you?”. I refused to reply I was too scared of what they would do. Danny spoke up “I smelled other pack members scents… Rachel, Jared and Josh”. I just looked at him and went blank at hearing their names.

    “Stop boys, now’s not the time” the doctor cut them off and checked me over again.

    “How are you feeling? Any pain?”

    “yea… everything kind of hurts”

    “that’s not surprising giving your condition. Though you seem good enough to go home and rest. Though you will have to take some meds werewolf blood can only heal so much. You were extremely wounded and need to be careful. So, I need you boys not to question her. She needs to stay calm and keep away from panic attacks they can rough on the body”

    “Thanks doc, I’ll take her to the room” Zane exclaimed

    My mom came back and handed me my old blanket that had a wolf howling to the moon on it. Hence the name Wolfy. He was ratty and smelled bad to everyone but me; I loved it! I held him close to my heart and burring my face in him taking a big inhale. I was instantly calmed, he was my security blanket literally.

      I was taken off the machines and readied myself to stand up to leave. Zane standing in front of me, put his hand on my shoulder and refused to let me stand. “Please don’t stand I’ll carry you there… you’re very weak”. Before I could protest, I was bridal style in his arms and instinctually wrapped my arms around his neck.

     He walked opposite to my room. “Alpha we are going the wrong way…”

    “Princess you don’t need to call me alpha we are mates. Call me whatever you like” he said with a sweet smile that made my heart flutter

    “um okay uh… Zane”

      He looked sad for a moment. I think he was hoping I would call him by a pet name too, but I don’t even what going to happen right now. We ended up at his room. He opened the door and carefully laid me down on the bed. I looked out the window and noticed that it was dark out. I had thought it was the afternoon but it’s the middle of the night. I didn’t realize how tired I was until I hit the mattress. Zane pulled the covers over me, everything was so soft I instantly drifted asleep.
