The Last Female Alphas

FEELS LIKE HOME 3

Ray POV:

With that, he just leaves me standing there and goes back to bed area. He doesn’t have a door or a separate bedroom. It’s just a big bed in the corner which is raised. It’s not even an actual bed. He assembled some logs together and put enough fur on it to make it work. How is an Alpha living like this? I don’t understand his endgame in all this. When I don’t move, he calls me again.

He has my old worn-out blue comforter in his hand, I am frozen in place again. I panicked looking at the memento from my old life. He is throwing me in some dark basement. I haven’t seen another door yet. Maybe this is what he plans to do. Feed me and then throw me in some dark basement. Maybe they were bored with the normal punishment and created this elaborate scheme to torment me. Scarlett said Blaze was much worse. Maybe he has some plans for me. I started shaking and sweating. My vision is blurry. My tears are falling freely. I don’t understand why it hurt so much to think that he would put me in a basement. I have lived my whole life in the basement broom cupboard. That’s when I feel the warmth, heat, and comfort surrounding me. I feel safe.

“Shhshhh... it’s OK baby. I am here. You are safe. No one will ever hurt you ever again. I am here.” He keeps repeating those words and lifts me up in his arms carrying me to the made-up bed. He keeps repeating his words and gently kisses my head, rubbing circles on my back. But I can’t control my emotions, I just keep crying. He doesn’t even get annoyed with me. He lets me cry and just keeps repeating I am safe. I can feel that his t-shirt is soaked, but he doesn't seem to mind that. Sometime later in the night, I exhaust myself from all the crying and fall asleep again.

When I wake up, I feel like I am sleeping on a giant comfortable heater. Something heavy and vice-like is holding my waist. When I slowly got up, my hair is wildly covering his face like a thin veil. I froze again. I am sleeping on Blaze. Oh, no, no.... how am I sleeping on him? I checked my clothes; I was fully covered, but he didn’t have a shirt on. I check his rock-hard muscles; I feel like touching them, but I stop myself. I just want to lick him. No, you i***t; you don’t lick people. I chastised myself. What is wrong with me? I slowly trace his tattoo; a wolf with a young girl. When I looked up, he was staring at me with his glowing golden-brown eyes. His beast is in control. I froze again. He starts talking in a rough, growly voice which should terrify me, but instead calms me down and excites me a little.

“Do I frighten you, bluey?”

“Bluey??”

“Yes, I always loved your deep blue eyes. Hence, my bluey. I will come up with something else if you don’t like it.” He says, looking deep into my eyes.

“It’s ok, bluey is ok... I think. Are you Blaze’s wolf?” I asked the dumbest questions. It’s official, I am insane.

“Thor, my name is Thor.” He replies, almost purring at me.

“Thor. A majestic name for a majestic beast like you.” I said, slowly looking into his eyes and smiling at him. I swear he purrs louder like a giant cat and holds me closer to his warm chest.

“I wanted to thank you for saving me from Nicholas. I don’t know what he would have done to me.” I said slowly, trying really hard to control my emotions. He holds me tighter as if he is afraid, I will vanish if he loosens his grip. I think he realizes what Nicholas would have done to me because he looked murderous. I don’t want to even imagine my life if he caught me.

“He will never hurt you; I promise. Nobody will ever hurt you, ever again.” He growls through his clenched teeth. He inhales my scent, calming himself down. When I looked up, his chocolate brown eyes were back. He staggers and gets up gaining distance between us, as if I was frightened of him or something.

“I am so sorry, Thor took over. He wanted to talk to you.” He hastily explained, waiting for me to blow up or something. I just give him a small smile, which makes him extremely happy.

“I know, I don’t have much, but everything here is yours. I got you some clothes. They are in my bag. Stacey will get you more.” He explained, walking around in the room. Listening to her name makes me angry. She must be his girlfriend. Of course, he has a girlfriend. Look at him, he looks like a Greek God. And I am a pack slave. What am I thinking? Before I could respond, he started talking again.

“Roy mind linked me; they want us to go to the community hall for breakfast. That is if you are feeling up for it. You still look tired. You know what you clean up. I will make some breakfast and coffee if you don't want to go. You can meet everyone after food. OK?” He literally asks and replies all in one breath.

I just nodded and made my way towards the bathroom. I am just standing there trying to remove my top when he walks in, startling me.

“I am so sorry; I didn’t see anything, I swear.”

“There is nothing to see. I mean I didn’t… see. I .. There is a lot to see. I mean nothing. I didn’t see anything.”

“I just wanted to get you some warm water for your bath.” He rushed through his explanation and ran away before I could utter a single word. I have never seen such a big scary alpha be so shy and afraid of a little girl.
