15. New Him
2084 Words
After seven hours long sleep Stacey woke up. Feeling refresh and new. No nightmares. She sits up rubbing her eyes. Yawning softly not aware of a burning stare on her. Jared smile watching her yawn like a little kitten, rubbing her eyes like a little kid.
"Are you hungry?" she startle hearing the deep husky voice. Scanning the room for the owner of the husky voice landing on a man sitting on the couch. His long leg cross holding a file leisurely in his hand. The first three button of his white shirt loose exposing some of his muscular chest and his very visible sexy collar bone. She gulp feeling her throat dry from the sight before her.
He really is a man worthy to drool for.
"Maybe you are but not for food and.. something else" he smirk getting up from the couch. She instantly blush looking away getting caught. Her empty stomach growl worsening her embarrassment more.
Jared chuckle loving his mate flustered face while she groan hiding her face with the blanket.
"Let's get you something for that.." he raise an eyebrow staring at her. Standing besides the bed. She nod shyly. Getting out of the bed immediately.
He lead her out of the room heading downstairs. While she looks around examing the house. To her confused amused delight the corridor starting from the second floor have multiples doors and rooms. She could not possibly count as they walks by. Her lips slightly part while admiring the beauty of the house or a mansion she have no idea. Given how long the hallway was.
Remaining silent she followed behind him. Drooling over his height and figure. His firm ass on his black jean giving her a better easy access as he takes every steps. Oblivious it gives a burning feel on his skin every where her eyes roam.
The man before her really spend time on working out.
"What would you like to have for lunch?" He ask turning around once they enter the dinner hall. Lunch?
"Umm whatever you have.. I'm not really a picky eater" she shrug. Quite the opposite she was the most picky eater among her family.
"Mmh.. that's good. I'll have them bring the food over" he nod pulling out a chair for her. Thanking him she seats down. Trying to remember how she got here.
"Alpha king" a middle age woman enters with two other female carrying a tray of plates fill with foods. Placing down his plate. Jared shift awkwardly as Stacey stare at them weirdly. Then her face scrunched up in an uncomfortable frown like realising something.
Alpha King? Is that a nickname for him? He sure do look like a king. His dominant powerful demeanor with a taste of monarchy and authority. His habits of commanding and ordering does match with the name.
"Luna Queen.." Sara did the same smiling at her. Placing the plate on the table for her.
"No. Please not me. I'm Stacey.. Stacey Melon. Please call me that.." she startle immediately shaking her introducing her name. She don't want that title, nickname or whatever it could be.
Sara frown staring at Stacey. If she remembers it correctly the beta informed her about the Alpha King with the Luna Queen.
"Leave her alone. She still doesn't know about us" Jared mind link Sara. The omega in charge of his food and managing the kitchen. She bow giving Stacey a warm smile walking away.
"Go on. Eat to your full" Stacey looks down at the plate frowning. Meat. Jared reciprocate her frown watching her. Does she not like it? Is it not to her taste?
"What's wrong?" He inquired placing down his fork spoon. He can have someone make what she like.
"Oh.. nothing.. it's nothing" she shakes her head not wanting to be a burden. Stacey gulp not daring to devour the meat. Until she know what it is.
"Yeah I can see that clearly. You're gulping like I'm torturing you to eat" a growl erupt for his chest.
"Oh I'm sorry.. it's nothing like that" she gasp apologizing for making him feel bad.
"Actually I don't want to be a burden but.. I always have my meat check before eating. I don't want to be rude for your kindness bu-" a roaring growl cuts her off.
"You should have ask immediately then sitting there gulping hard.. feeling uncomfortable like I'm forcing you to eat garbage" he snap slamming the table. He hates her apologizing for his lack of attention.
"I'm sorry.. but I only eat beef and chicken so.. I.. I'm sorry for the trouble.." she apologized again. Jared sigh knowing the meat is not something she can eat. He completely forgot. Wanting her to eat the best meat. They hunted.
"I'll have someone bring in another" he say snatching the plate away from here. Stacey nod knowing it's neither nor what she eat. She wouldn't want to know.
After they bring her pasta she quickly devour it. Hungrily plus the taste was to her favour.
"What am I doing here? I don't.. uhh.." she clear her throat awkwardly embarrassed she have no idea how she got here. Jared silently stare at her debating whether she should know or not. Concluding it would be better if she forget it.
"Have this. It would help with digestion" he pushed the bowl of cut fruits on her lap. Making her frown staring at the fruits. Confused why he's giving her that.
"I don't eat apple and banana" she softly mutter nibbling her lower lips. Jared stare at her with an disbelief expression.
"Are you sure you're really not a picky eater?" He ask tentatively but amused. She sure is unique.
"I'm not.. it's just I don't like them" she shrug innocently. Jared sigh running his fingers through his chocolate brown hair. Amused and slightly irritated at the same time.
"Eat whatever you like and stay in your room. If you want a stroll around someone can accompany you or I would. When I come back. Don't move around alone.." Stacey frown deepened not understanding what he means.
"I need to return back home. I can't stay out for long.. I should be leaving soon.. no now" she stood up from the couch putting the bowl on the table in the living room.
Two strong hands grips her shoulder making her look at him. His eyes bore into her. Burning flames of anger and dominance.
"Remember this Stacey. I would be telling only once. Don't ever think about leaving this place. Or leaving me.. this is your new home. You're staying here from now on" his firm voice warns her.
"No. Why should I stay here? I need to go back home. I'm not staying here.. never. I'm leaving" it agitates him more then she disobey his order. Her leaving was not something he could digest easily.
"Mine.." he growl gripping her jaw making her face him.
"You're mine. Only mine. You're not leaving me ever not now.. not forever" he roar gritting the words out possessively. Enough with his good patients. The situation have change now. She could be in danger. He can't allowed that.
He would do anything to make her submit to him. If that can save her life.
Stacey gulp staring at him wide eye. Her heart freezing with his possessive words. Nothing like the man just minutes ago. But back to the man whom she first met.
"Always remember your mine.. Stacey" letting his hand go gripping her jaw. He walks away. His jaw clench. Hand fisted tightly. He stop glancing at her from the corner of his eyes.
"Stacey I'm warning you.. don't play tricks. And don't even think about escaping. That's impossible" he smirk walking away. Every where she go her scent would follow. His castle is not easy to escape.
Staying any longer would only worsen the situation and he was aware. She still was on guard around him.
"Get her to back to the room" he mind link Sara.
"Yes Alpha King" sighing Sara left the kitchen to escort Stacey.
Stacey stood frozen on her place still too stunned to move. Her right fingers trembling slightly. Which had not occur back for quite some months. Gripping her trembling fingers tightly with her left hand silently begging it to stop.
"Lu- Miss.. I would escort you back to your room. Please follow me" Sara staring at the sullen back of Stacey. Debated for some time whether to speak out.
"Are you alright? Shall I called Al- I mean Sir?" Not knowing how to address her Alpha King infront of her decided to called him sir.
"No. Please don't.. can I please go back. I want to rest" her timid voice say not turning around.
"I'll leave you to rest.. this way" Stacey follow behind lost in her mind.
Jared actions earlier was confusing her. One thing she was sure and clear of. She's is no one's.. Mine? That sounded pathetically hilarious to her.
The walk through the hallway was silent as they both make no attempt to talk. Stacey determined to fine her escape. He can't tie her here. Forcing her makes her want to escape more.
Sara lead her to the extra room on the top floor meant for the Alpha family. Leaving Stacey to rest after informing her to not hesitate calling her for anything. Closing the door she immediately rush searching for her phone. Her bag was already place on the couch.
Much to her dismay she couldn't find it. Jared was not one fool to keep the bag along with her phone. Sighing annoyingly and piss she plop down on the bed staring at the ceiling. Lost in her own thoughts.

"Alpha King the guard at the border informed the Black Silver pack have enter our border. They would be here soon.." sitting in his office Hunter informed him. With an annoyed groan he look up at his beta. Who nod walking out to greet their guest.
"Alpha King as your order our warriors are place on all four of our boundaries.. and the special one too" refering to a warrior assign to guard Stacey room. Jared nod looking through the file.
"Alpha Phil of Black Silver Pack glad you could make it.." Cameron acknowledge him immediately knowing Alpha's pride are not to be mess with. Given the fact of his alpha King personality and the little messy situation. A small nod pass to his beta behind him.
"Beta Cameron.." Phil strong rough voice greets him back. Even though he is just a beta a lower standard than the Alpha. He is the royal beta.. holding more authoritative power.
His face void and emotionless. Eyes dull and cold. With a strong tall built.. taller than Cameron.
Cameron acknowledge Phoebe besides her Alpha. With the same emotionless expression.. but not rough.
"Beta Cameron" she nods back.
"Our Alpha King is in the office waiting for your arrival" he leads the way walking inside the castle. Heading straight to the office.
Stacey stare from the window of the room she was kept lock in. Frowning staring at the tall bulky man and the beautiful lady besides him. Which appears to her Cameron interacting with them. They suddenly walks in but before they completely disappeared. An eye snap up at her making her freeze clutching the curtains. Shiver appearing on her skin when an evil grin appear on his face.
Stacey immediately step back letting the curtain flow covering the window. Did he saw here. Was that to her? Feeling cold sweat appearing on her forehead she sits down on the couch.
A frown on his head Jared keeps flipping the file. Suddenly an anxious uneasy feeling surge inside him. Suffocating him. But it lasted for some mere second then it disappear like it never happened.
He exhale loudly feeling exhausted.
"Alex what was that?" He immediately asked his wolf. He had never felt that before.
"I don't know.. I think it's mate. We're feeling" Alex replied back as confused as him.
They were not mated only the bond tie them together. The only string attaching them together. So feeling her anxiousness. Her emotions was something new and strange.
"Alpha King is everything alright" Hunter asked feeling concern. Staring at his complicated expression. From surprise to frowning deep in thought. Before he could respond it was nothing.
Cameron knock on the door. Waiting for his Alpha king ruff cold voice.
