The Human Alpha

Lonely Nights

It was so hard to believe it but it was happening, love is something that someone could not run away from so easily. All the love that Esther had experienced was just her parental love and maybe from the rest of her friends but this time it was very unique. She felt that this was the missing puzzle of her life and she did not what to do to deal with the situation. She had not known much about Brian but their was just something that was making her fall in love with him but she totally had no clue. She had to admit it even though it was not part of what she expected in her life.

The night is now silent and everybody is asleep except for Peter who is sitting outside looking after them. Brian now was at his deepest sleep and it is even a miracle how he managed sleeping with all that he was going through. He slept while still overthinking about everything and did not know how he even fell asleep. What he ever wanted was Esther in his life.

"Add me one more bottle please" Brian tells the waiter and he can even barely stand up. He has been drinking too much and still orders a bottle after a bottle.

"You should go home sir, it's now too late and you have already had too much" the waiter tells him and hands him no bottle again. He raises his head and looks around the club and see no one. Everybody must really have gone home except for a young beautiful woman sitting at the corner all by herself. Brian staggers and walks next to her. She is wearing a beautiful red dress but he can barely see her face. He walks around her and he realises it is Esther. The bottle he is holding on his hands drops down without even him noticing.

"I have been waiting for you for long my love" Esther tells him while drinking from her glass.

Brian does not seem to understand what is going on at all but takes a seat.

She looks so beautiful than ever that sobers up Brian without even realising it. Her eyes were glowing and ahe had the perfect smile, he had never before seen her in a dress and she really looked like a queen.

"We are closing up guys!" The waiter shouts from the counter and Brian turns to look at her.

"Give us a minute please" Brian asks him for a minute so he could spend at least looking at the woman he was deeply in love with.

" Give who a minute Brian? You have been sitting their for a while now its about time we have to close the bar!" The waiter tries opening his eyes and it was at this point when Brian diacovers that he was only hallucinating, he was all alone at the table and it seems that this love issue was now into him in a manner that he did not understand. He stands up as the waiter watches him wondering what has gotten into him. He struggles walking as he heads towards the door. The waiter follows behind him and locks the door.

"Have a good night sir." He tells him as he turns the closed tag on the door and watches him staggering away. The street was very clear and no one was around at the moment except for some beggars at the street corridors. It was very windy and cold outside and he was not wearing any sweater outside. Even though Brians house is about half a mile away he finds it hard walking and even falls down. He is so confused about his love life but to his surprise he sees a hand stretching to where he is lying.

"Wake up Brian, let's go!" He hears a voice but finds it difficult to stand up. The voice keeps on asking him to wake up and he finally wakes up from his sleep. It was Esther knocking at his rooms door. He quickly wakes up and realises he was just in his worst normal dreams.

"I am up, just a minute Esther!" He quickly takes his clothes and puts them on as Esther waits behind the door. Brian takes a look at the window and realises a lot of cars outside and people were well dressed in black which was mainly worn during funerals events. It looked like everyone was preparing for a funeral and this is where Brian came to realise that they had made a decision to give father Edward a descent funeral on the very day. He opens the door and sees esther well dressed and of course in a black dress and it catches his eyes for a moment since he had not seen her in a dress before except in the red dress he dreamt about in his dreams.

"You look amazing Esther" he compliments her after starring for a while.

"Thank you so much"

"How was your night anyway" they start walking as brian finishes tying his neck tie.

"I could barely sleep Brian, but i am fine for know" Esther answers him remembering everything from last night.

"And what is with all the commotion and dresses" Brian asks before he could forget.

"Well, the burial is today, they never wanted a lot of people to be aware of it somehow". They reach outside and a lot of people chatting out. They stand their as they wait to go to the church in the city where father Edward had stayed for long and thats where the burial ceremony was to be conducted. The children were also prepared thanks to Esther who was up early and helped them with everything. Brian cannot just get to understand the dream he had and is seen overthinking.

"Are you okay, i guess you never had enough sleep too, it took a while back their before i could wake you up" Esther reminds him but everybody else start moving as they head for a bus standing outside the gate they walk together and leave the orphanage.
