Chapter 1: Revisiting my Nightmare
All I remember was fire and darkness, I could hear women and children screaming outside.. Men stood to defend their families against the predators that was ravaging all the bodies in my town, I stood in horror at the atrocities lain before me when it finally came to much to bear I ran from my bedroom window, hiding underneath my bed afraid that what was outside would work its way in, before I could relax in my safe haven however a thin but beautiful woman in her 30s ran in my bedroom panicking I watched as she frantically looked back and forth “MAY” she screamed but I couldn’t respond,i was too scared to move afraid that if i did horrible things would find me "MAY PLEASE COME HERE!" she screamed again only to be met with silence, that’s when I heard it, the demonic growl emanating off the hallway walls getting closer and closer, the woman yanked her head to face the door she entered her messy red hair flinging around just as violently as she did, I could see her starting to hyperventilate as she looked around for a place to hide or to escape but she found nothing, before I could react and force myself to move from my perfect hiding spot I noticed movement from the corner of my eye by the door where she entered, slowly a long snout emerged, exposing its sharp white teeth, and attached to that snarling muzzle was a large black wolf with blue-green eyes,as if sensing it was right where it needed to be it quickly it turned its head to look for its victim only to find it trapped in the corner, as it sensing the prey was staring death in the face, it moved swiftly and took its opportunity to strike. I turned away quickly not wanting to see what happened next but the sound…oh god the sounds, the screams that escaped her mouth, and the tearing of flesh that came from that attack I will never forget, they haunt me every night.
Present day
“May wake up were going to be late!” I swear I never needed an alarm clock as long as Lori was around. “Ugh…” I moaned moving my arm up and dragging my hand down my face, looking over I seen Lori had woken me up an hour before I actually had to get up. “Lori, what the hell?! I don’t need to be up for another hour, what did I do to you to make you hate me so much?!” Lori rolled her eyes and flung a pair of cheetah leggings and an oversized guns and roses band shirt at me “stop complaining drama queen and get up, be glad I got your outfit out” I grumbled while moving out of bed and gave her the death glare until I felt she had enough. Once I was dressed and nearly ready to leave the house I finished off the final part of my checklist “ahhhh” I sighed happily as the pungent aroma of coffee filled the air “liquid sanity”. I poured the murky nectar into my favorite poison apple mug and added just the right amount of creamer, just as I finished Lori walked past and I raised my porcelain mug towards her, placing a mischievous grin on my face, I sang “the best part of waking up, is this s**t in my cup!” in remembrance of a famous coffee commercial , Lori shook her head “dear lord woman, you have proven there is definitely a screw loose” I chuckled “Well dear if we weren’t related I’d say that you are equally crazy for choosing to live with me, oh wait….we share this apartment” I stated while I extended my hand and moved it towards the apartment, I pulled my cup to my lips in victory of my well thought out remark and straightened up from leaning on the counter “but anywho you may want to hurry up or we’ll be late for work” Lori scowled at me and let out a loud sigh before finally grabbing her car keys and locking the front door. On our way to work i let my mind wander with each passing tree I started to reminisce my life and sighed knowing how close we were getting to work, Our job was to maintain the left wing of the house while two other maids maintained the right. Fortunately, was the left side was always guest rooms, so that way all we had to do was dust and tend to the occasional visitor, making sure each room is well maintained and ready for their next stay. The alphas son would always come by to flirt with Lori which I thought was hilarious considering how her naturally tan skin would always turn bright red when he would get too close, she'd start panting like a dog and sweating like she ran a marathon, I’d always have to save her by asking if she scrubbed the toilet in the guest suite, the glares I got from her were the only reward I would ever need. As we reached the house, as i slipped out of my daze I noticed that there were a lot more body guards on the gate lines than usual and when we reached the guard tower unfamiliar faces asked for our destination. Once parked and inside, I stopped one of the rushing laundry boys “hey leo whats going on? We housing the president or did someone get assassinated”. Leo looked around before looking back at me “something close to that smart ass we have the "president" of alphas coming he’s coming to check on random pack houses and decided to visit ours” I nodded, shooing him away. Looking back at Lori i stated “well I guess we better get to work then” and without hesitation we collected our cleaning supplies and got to work. Once we reached our wing, the alphas son was there to give orders, which was unlike him, however given the circumstances I could see why he wanted to ensure everything went smoothly. “ the alpha will be staying in this room here, he said pointing to the largest suite. There will extra guests as well which will fill the remaining rooms, " Lori” he said, facing Lori and making her blush, “ you're going to tackle the bottom floor, May you can tackle the top” while he gave orders he not once broke his gaze away from Lori “Ill show you whats needing to be done, if youll just follow me” he stated in a soft tone lori blushed and just nodded and away they went down the hall and leaving me by myself “sure no problem, I love you too, call if you need anything” I said loudly as she walked away ignoring anything that came from my mouth. I shook my head and turned back to the large suite “alright big boy, this means war and im not one to go silently into the night, but first I need to take out your armada” I said pointing to the other rooms and turned to the furthest and started to clean until I stood at the doors of the Boss of all rooms….the master suite. “alright buddy, no problems understood?” I stated while pushing open the doors and entering in to my final boss battle. I started in the luxurious bathroom polishing porcelain, shining stainless steel, but it wasn’t until I started scrubbing the jets in the massive tub that I heard rustling in the room, i started to slowly scrub seeing if i could here motion again but was suddently startled when hot water was turned on and sprayed towards my back, soaking my black leggings. I quickly jumped up and yelped as if I got shot throwing my hands towards the water nozzle, before I could question who turned the shower on the curtain yanked open revealing a 6 foot, mocha skinned god, with only a white towel draping his hips his black hair cascasding down his shoudlers as my eyes drifted up I had a feeling start to grow in me, the more I looked up the stronger it got until finally our eyes met, only any lust I had felt turned into pure fear, because looking back at me were the same blue-green eyes that I seen in my nightmares. In an instant i moved back and slipped on the tubs surface only for him to jump in and pin me to the wall he stood so close I could feel the heat emanating off his body my breath hitched in my throat "im sorry alpha" i stated but he didnt move "i wasnt aware youd be arriving early or I would have cleaned your room sooner" still we sat in the same position "im just gonna..." but before i could finish my sentence and get out of this awkward situation he pinned me back to the wall and moved in closer his face moving down to the base of my neck the closer he got the more my mouth watered his body smelled like the forest ground after a good rain storm , waking myself out of this daze and realizing my situation i thought on my feet and moved swiftly, I knew he had me cornered but no matter which way i went he matched and blocked my exit his face pulled back and piercing blue green eyes looked into mine "im dead" i thought, either he will kill me or the alpha will have me killed, panic overtook me and i shoved him causing him to stumble back, a growl erupted from the spot where he fell before i could move however i was shoved back to the same impenetrable wall so In the midst of defeat i did the only thing I knew and looked away, closed my eyes and waiting for the tearing flesh and screams to rise up but this time they would not be hers they would be my own.
I sat for a few minutes waiting for the attack to start but nothing ever came. Slowly I opened my eyes to see a muscular chest looking back at me. I regulated my breathing and looked up to be face to face with death himself, his arms slowly moved around me, pulling me into his grasp his face inched closer to mine and finally his lips reached mine igniting a feeling in me ive never felt before, sending sparks of electric to my very core, I had never felt like this, was this fear? or something else? my hands moved behind his neck gripping his hair and pulling him in closer, I realized what I was doing and reacted the only way I knew how, by kicking him in the balls. catching my breath and watching him crumble over i quickly jumped out of the tub and raced to the bathroom door running past its frame however before I hit the bedroom door, i was cut off by a dark blur, standing in the doorway, it was the vision of my nightmares only this time he was standing on his hind legs and his claws extending to the frame of the door as if he was blocking my way, he moved swiftly towards me his scent invading my senses as he tackled me to the ground. I sat underneath what looked to be a wolf but it was more muscular more human, he hovered over me only he wasnt hostile like he was in my dream he watched me curiously "why'd you kick me?!" he growled, once I realized i wasn't about to die, my sarcastic temperament decided to come back full swing "well i wouldn't have kicked you if you didn't frighten me by pinning me against a wall!" he growled louder "watch your tongue woman do you know who your speaking to?!" i looked him up and down raising my eye brow clearly getting annoyed before i spoke "from the looks of it a rough looking Chihuahua" his head c****d to the side "chihuahua?!" he said clearly confused at my response "yeah, you think your big and bad until you get kicked in the balls and then cower away when you sees your opponent can fight back "
"i did not cower!"he roared, scrunching my nose and lifting my hand up to pinch the bridge "buddy im only here to clean your rooms not your breath, that why toothpaste was invented" at first i thought he would be angry at my response but he stayed calm but confused "Probably because he thought that i was going to be cowering in fear" i thought, slowly he moved up to stand on his hind legs "are you not scared of me?" he questioned.
"well yeah at first I was, but whats so fearful about you now? if anything i want to pat you on your head and tell you what a good boy youve been " he scoffed and started pacing back and forth, either annoyed or curious, and while he did that I was looking for a way to escape, finally i formulated a plan, I aimed for a distraction "actually your more rottweiler form, Chihuahuas are too cute" he stopped pacing and looked at me clearly annoyed now, before he could react i kicked out his legs from underneath him and watched him fall, quickly I swooped to his right and rolled out the door "freedom!" i screamed as i shot up, only to be met with a tug on my leg and the very same wolf i thought i evaded dragging me back in his room and knocking me out. darkness enveloped me and the screams of fear started roaring in the back of my mind.
