Eye of the Alpha

Run

Bea’s pov

Feeling a presence and a comforted one I felt my hand reaching a squeezing a loving warm hand. My body does not want to let it go ever. Moving my body ever so slightly, trying to get more comfortable. Burning pulsated through my body, making me jolt and open my heavy eyes. Coming in contact with Alpha Benjamin’s face. Tracing my eyes down I see our hands intertwined.

Something in me awakened, and the area around him started to glow a bright gold.

‘No…’ fell out my hanging open mouth. Sitting up in the school nurse's bed and dangling my legs over it. I tried my best not to look at him or give him any attention.

But it didn't work.

I saw him slowly rise with his arms stretched out ready to catch me as I got off the bed. Not wanting him to touch me again, I backed away, my hands stretched out creating distance between us. My mind is getting heavy with all my unwanted thoughts. Reaching my hands up to cradle my aching head.

Little whispers escaped me ‘no … no … no’ squeaking my eyes tightly closed and trying my best to focus on my breathing, i headed his voice.

‘ Bea are you okay? I think you should go back to bed, I can go get the doctor. Yeah?’

Feeling the walls closing in on me, someone ripping the oxygen from my lungs, the growing pounding in my head, the weakness and instability of my own body.

I choose to run.

Run out the door.

Run down the corridor full of eyes.

Run.

run as fast as i can for as long as i can.

Ireien’s voice bomb barding my brain ‘ Elpis, run!’ tears burning out my eyes. This time listening to her.

Hearing muffled voices shouting my name and the eyes following my movements. Body burning i don't look back and continue to run. Run away from it all in hopeless thoughts that if I do it will all disappear, but the deep part of me willing me to run back and hope that it can all be alright.

Soon I was on my knees, hands in face as my body let out uncontrollable sobs. The sound of the waterfall calming and soothing barely helped my distressed state.

‘ i am not sure i can do this anymore…’ I whisper out into the world. ‘ i just want to go home.’ letting a new wave of sobs wash over me.

Waking up to something soft brushing against my bare skin. My tear stained eyes hesetely open showing a black wolf with white paws and belly and a white smudge on its snout between its unusual light blue eyes almost gery or white staring at me. Instead of feeling afraid I outstretched my right arm and started petting the dog. Earning a warm wet lick on my right cheek.

‘Eww..’ I playfully yell as I wipe my cheek clean. A small smile played on my lips.

The dog started to wag its tail as its tongue flopping out its open mouth.

Looking up I notice the stars twinkling above.

Oh sugar! Dad is going to kill me. !

Something wet touched my hand drawing my attention back to the dog, the dog which is in the middle of the woods, the dog that I would say is unusually large, the dog where i can't

really tell what breed it is.

Oh my god!

It clicked, I am in and surrounded by werewolf territory. So this isn’t just any dog but.

Oh god!

I am basically petting a human!

Taking my hand away from petting, the wolf looked up at me confused. ‘Well go on then.’ I say turning my head to look away. Biting my lip trying my best not to let tears stream out. I can’t let anyone see me cry. ‘Aren't you going to go?’ ‘No?’ I say tilling my head. ‘Well I need to go back home, bye.’ Getting up off the ground I brush any remase of dirt off my clothes and bum.

Noticing the fur moving from me I hope deep down that it wasn’t someone from school. Someone playing a mean joke on me. I guess it's easy to segregate me as them believing I am human and me not being a werewolf.

Walking away towards what I hope is the direction of home. Wait, how am i meant to get in my house all my things are in school. Looking down at my clothes I am met with the school’s sports kit made up of a white polo shirt, a pair of back contrast binding running shorts, my black and white Nike trainers. Oh and you cant forget the obnoxious lime green bib that i so unfortunately was wearing when i got injured.

Taking a swift turn around from where I believe I came from which should mean that it is the way back to school.

“Sugar its closed” “of course its closed Bea, it's like…. Well I don't know the time but the sky is dark and the stars are out.”

Looking around I walk off to the small side door. “Might as well try this” shrugging. I jiggle the handle and the door opens. “What luck”

Taking a step into the building. “ Jeez, it's creepy in the dark.”

“Ahh finally” i open the doors to the girls changing room and make my way to my sports locker.

And that’s when I hear his voice, ‘Bea?’ come from behind me, making my body tense.

And shivers which i can't decide are good or bad. His hand brushed against mine. Contact was short and brief but magically electrifying fogging my mind with pleasure.

Again his beautiful voice added to the whole situation. “Bea, please… Bea look at me please…” he begged.

Making me have to swallow a big hard bitter lump and squeeze my eyes shut.

A smirk plastered itself on my face, giving my head a shake as I think what a way to spend your birthday.
