Stay

Kissed

Neeko's P.O.V

I woke up in a hospital bed surrounded by a bunch of crazy looking nurses. Some were literally drooling over me while others looked as if I was the masterpiece of the century. What's wrong with them? I felt light headed as I tried to get up. But the nurses were quick to make me lie down again.

"Beta, you're not in good health. You should rest more" one of the nurses said in a soft tone. Everyone nodded in agreement.

It was just an allergic reaction. Not a big deal. Plus I wasn't feeling uncomfortable anywhere in my body. But I obliged considering the number of nurses surrounding me. It looked as if all the nurses of the hospital were attending me. Why though? Was I really that serious?

"OK. But you girls need to go to work. Other patients also need you. I can take care of myself now" I said with a smile. Forget about other patients! I was just so uncomfortable with them around that I had started to have a headache. I juat wanted to get rid of them.

"They're fine,Beta. You need us the most right now" they said making me even more agitated. They were surrounding me as if I was their prey. As if they could devour me any second and I wanted to flee.

"Now now girls.." I gave them the sweetest smile I could. "The Alpha needs my help. So, I must get going"

"Please stay a little while longer" one of them grabbed my shirt and pouted. Everyone gave me their puppy dog eyes. If I were a guy, I'd surely fall for that but being a girl myself, it felt a little weird.

I sighed in pretense. "I wish I could but the Alpha's calling for me. Do you want to see your Beta's butt being kicked?"

"Nooooooo!" they shook their heads. I smiled at them and got up from the bed, ready to march away.

I was so close to my victory escape when I felt a tug from behind. I looked back to see them almost in tears. What's so wrong with them? It's not like I'm going to war and never coming back. Well maybe I won't come back to the hospital again but still,it wasn't necessary to cry.

I face-palmed internally. Why's my life so hard?

"why are you girls crying?" I asked softly, afraid that I'd scare them.

"Will you come back to see us?" they asked.

WHAT!!!? Why the he'll would I come back? Do they want me to be a patient forever? What a bad omen!

"I.... That is..." I scratched the back of my head awkwardly.

"You're not coming back?" they said, eyes pooled with tears. Some of them had already started crying.

What's with them? Are all the she-wolves so delicate from the inside? This doesn't make sense. After all I'm a she wolf too.

"I'll come back. Please don't cry" those words just came out of my mouth in panic when I saw them crying. What a luck! I slapped myself in my mind. i***t!

"Beta's so sweet"

I smiled at them, mentally cursing myself. At least, I can escape unharmed. As I was consoling myself, I felt a pair of arms wrapping around me. Before I could comprehend what was happening, all the girls started rushing towards me in a hurry to wrap me in a hug. I couldn't even say a word when it became so unbearable that I fell down with all the girls on top of me, desperately trying to hug me. I squirmed under their weight but to no use. God, are they trying to squish me to death? Aww! These damn crazy nurses!

I tried crawling out of their grasp but then I felt someone grab my pants in attempt to take it off of me. God, not there!

"let me go!" I struggled to find my voice. But they were so busy pulling my clothes that my efforts were futile.

When I was almost at the door, somebody opened it from the outside. Everyone stopped to look at the intruder. But I was so glad that I wanted to give him a big hug. My eyes rose to meet the most intimidating gaze I'd ever seen. Crap! It was the Alpha. Still glad that he came. Or else I wouldn't be so sure of my virginity.

Still on the floor like a bruised snake I looked at him with a pleading look. For a moment, I thought there was a hint of amusement in his eyes. But it was soon replaced by the same intimidating look as he shifted his eyes to the nurses the nurses. They got up hurriedly and bowed to the Alpha in respect and fear, leaving me lying on the floor. I got up and dusted off my clothes.

The Alpha left and I followed behind him. He walked fast. Too fast for my short legs to keep up with him. For some reason, he seemed mad. Could it be because of what happened? Does he think that I'm incompetent since I got knocked down by the nurses? Will he try to get rid of me because he thinks that I'm weak? No, I can't let it happen. I've to justify myself.

"Alpha.. I can explain" I said trying to catch up with him. But he just wouldn't listen. He walked even faster and I was practically jogging behind him.

Once we were in his office, I tried to explain once more.

"Alpha. It was just a misunderstanding" I said.

"Misunderstanding?" he asked, his voice laced with venom."With all those girls on top of you?"

I gulped. This is going to be harder than I expected . "Alpha, I can explain"

He stared at me with such intensity that I thought my heart would bleed to death. Please Alpha, don't look at me like that! You're scaring the hell out of me.

"I didn't push them off of me because I didn't want to hurt them" it was true. Plus I didn't want to be blamed for mistreating the nurses.

"You didn't want to hurt them?" he scoffed. "So you let them on top of you, huh?"

He didn't seem to buy any of my story. I'm doomed. Doomed!

I didn't say a word. I stood there still, head hung low in shame. He's right. What kind of Beta lets other overpower them? I'm such a shame. He must be pretty disappointed in me. Is this the day I finally die?

My futile attempts of self pity was interrupted by the sound of the Alpha's footsteps closing towards me. Instinctively, I moved back until my back hit the door. He slammed his both hands on either sides of my head and looked straight at me. At that moment, I wished that the door would magically disappear so I could run for my life.

"Do you know what your mistake is? " he asked in a monotone voice that left my entire being shaken.

"Y-yes Alpha" I stuttered, my calm demeanour shattered in front of his intimidating figure.

"I should have been stronger, stronger enough to defend myself. I'm sorry for being incompetent" I said hanging my head low in shame. This is the worst feeling I've ever had in ages.

"Is this what you think I'm mad about?" he asked making me raise my head in surprise.

"It's not?" I asked in confusion. But also happy that he didn't think that I was incompetent.

"What did I tell you about being close to any girls?" his eyes turned angry as he stared down at me.

"But you only said that I'm not allowed to go near the kitchen maid." I said recalling his warning.

"Do I have to specifically tell you to stay away from all the girls?" he looked frustrated.

Oh! So he wanted me to stay away from all the girls. But why? Could it be that he wants all the girls to himself and he's afraid that I'll defile them? Seriously?

I gave him a confused, weird look that he returned with the same intense stare.

"I don't want to see you with any girls" he said after a few moments.

I couldn't understand why. "I think..... I can't do that" it's really impossible for me to not interact with any girls. I mean I may meet some of them in the grocery store, in the hospital, in the kitchen and so many places.

"Defy me and you'll regret it" he said in a dangerous tone, his eyes indicating that he's serious.

Even though I was scared, I didn't like the way he treated me like he owned me. Like my life was supposed to be dedicated to follow his orders and nothing else. A feeling surged in my heart that was long suppressed by me accompanied by a strong desire to overcome his power. That was my rebellion.

"It's not fair." I mumbled, suppressing the urge to snap. The rebel inside me fighting to break free.

"You think it's not fair?" his voice was strangely soft that immediately banished the rebel in me and I was filled with confusion.

"Then is it fair to me?" he asked, pain and frustration evident in his eyes.

This sudden change in him confused me. I was worried for him. Was he alright?

"Alpha.." I unconsciously touched his cheek.

His eyes widened slightly in surprise before he turned his face away leaving my hand empty.

"Alpha... I'm sorry" I didn't know what I was apologizing for. But at that moment, I just wanted him to be happy. I didn't want to see the pain and frustration in his eyes.

"Damn it!" I heard him mutter. "This is your fault!" I heard him say in a low voice.But before I could understand what he meant by that, his lips had already crashed into mine.
