Belle and the alpha

Belle

Belle.

Today my mum wants me to decide how I would like my hair for the party. Also she told me she has a surprise for me. I rub my eyes and look at the clock to find it’s 10am. Whoops , I must have been tired. I drag myself out of my bed and stretch. Someone catches my eye out the window. There is a taxi and 2 people are stepping out!! I let out a screech and run as fast as I can down the stairs. My mum was already at the door and I went running past her still screaming “brad!!!! Jenny!!!” I’m practically crying by this point trying to catch my breath too! “Belle!! Little sis!!! Let Jenny go she can’t breath”

“Oh s**t sorry jen! Brad I’ve missed you both so so much! Why are you here?”

“You think I’d miss my only sister turn 18?! No chance” brad laughed. I couldn’t help but smile. These 2 mean the world to me. He is a great big brother but they moved away I miss them so much. We used to be as thick as thieves but that’s all changed once Jenny come along. She changed him for the better.

“Okay guys are you coming in?” Mum lovingly asked. We all went inside.

“Before anything more, Belle, Jen and I would like to invite you to our wedding!” Screams filled the room coming from my mum and me! “Finally!! Yes bro” I shouted and punched his arm. “My darling boy, I am so very proud of you. Jenny is an amazing woman, very beautiful. Plus your babies would be gorgeous” mum beamed. I saw both brad and Jenny blush at the mention of children.

“Oh. My. God. “ I screeched. Brads eyes went wide.

“Your pregnant?!” I couldn’t contain my excitement as mums face lite up.

“You ruined the surprise!” Brad looked shocked.

“Yes, Brad and I were planning on telling you both after your party. But yes we are pregnant. Only 13 weeks so please let’s not tell everyone else until after your party?”

“Of corse darling” replied my mum.

“Thank you mum” they replied.

I decided to go out for a jog, I need to burn off some of this excitement, I run upstairs and change into my gym wear. That will do I think trying my hair into a messy bun. Let’s do this.

“I’m heading out for a jug guys, see you all later for dinner?”

“Alright sis. Have fun. We are going to put out stuff in my old room and then head out see all the old gang.” Brad replied. I smiled and left.

Headphones in, my workout playlist blasts through my headphones and off I go. My feet pound the pavement my heart rate is racing. I keep pushing on. “I can’t wait to stretch our legs” Marie says. Oh I can’t wait to see how fast we can run when we shift I smiled to myself at the thought. I’ve heard the first time is a little painful and sounds disgusting as practically all your bones break and reform but it’s worth it. To be free, to run and take nature in completely. I’ve now run into the Forrest following a rough path. Music is still blaring. I slow down and walk a little as I’m nearly out of breath. Just then something catches my eye. I can’t see anything so I pop my headphones off and listen. A branch snaps behind me and I jolt around to see Andy grinning whilst looking me from top to bottom licking his lips.

“Well well well. What do we have here?” He has a twisted, deranged look in his eye.

“Andy, you made me jump, why are you out here?” I asked in my friendliest voice.

“I’m always lurking around here, this is my neck of the woods” he started chuckling starting to really freak me out.

“Ok Andy, I need to get back, my family is expecting me and minute now” I lied.

“But belle, we are alone...finally” he replied whilst stepping closer to me, I back up as he continues forwards...smack, I hit my head on a tree branch and then my back hits the tree.

“Hahaha belle. Don’t pretend you don’t want me. I’ve had my eye on you since you walked into the office that first day. Acting all innocent and yet clearly your not...”

his eyes changed colour, they got darker.

“Andy, please let me go, I do not want this, I do not want you”

Ouch, his fist flew up and smacked me in the stomach.

“Say that again belle, I dare you” his fists were clenched and shaking with anger.

I froze on the spot, he leaned in closer kept looking at my lips. He was inches away from my face now.

“GET AWAY FROM ME!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. Whack. Another blow to the stomach and a slap across my face. Andy looked crazed by this point. I hear a loud deep growl as this huge wolf jumped out beside us. He was very tall, had messy light brown hair and was panting like he had been running for hours. The wolf looked at me and then looked at Andy and growled again.

“f**k off, who the f**k are you anyway?” Andy shouted towards the wolf. The wolf growled louder radiating power when he done so. Andy put his hands up.

“I’m sorry. Belle, I am sorry.” Andy shifted and ran. Within seconds he was gone. The wolf come closer to me, his eyes seemed friendly and familiar. Marie was buzzing in my head. “Mmmm, handsome. I would love to go for a run with you one day” quiet Marie.

I looked into the wolf’s eyes.

“Thank you!” Was all I could manage to get out. I bowed my head and ran the opposite way to Andy.

Who was that? I can’t believe what Andy did. I knew he was a freak but I didn’t realise he was like that. Do I report him or let it go. He looked so scared I doubt he would try anything like that ever again.

I rush home still in shock.

I open the front door “hello?”

No reply, thank the goddess for that. I run upstairs and look in the mirror. My face is red and swollen so I get a cold cloth and put it on. I pull my T-shirt up and am met with bruises. That son of a b***h! I can’t believe he would do that. I run myself a hot bath. My healing will kick in soon, my face should be healed by dinner with a bit of luck. I lower myself into the water. This feels good. I’m sore from the run, I’ve not been in a while, I should go more but stay out of the forest. “I’ll rip his head from his shoulders the bastard” Marie growled. Marie calm down, we will deal with him soon don’t worry. Do you know who that wold was? “He seemed familiar and smelt good...” Marie keep your dirty thoughts to yourself, your one horny wolf I giggled out loud this time. I close my eyes and let my mind take me away from today.

“Belle?!” My mum is shouting through the door.

Shit “I’m here” I jump out of the Luke warm bath and wrap myself in a towel. I open the door. Mum looked concerned.

“Belle are you ok? I’ve been knocking for ages... what happened to your face?”

“I tripped on my run. Nothing serious” I lied smiling. I look at the clock.

“Sorry mum let me get ready!”

“Alright dear. We are leaving in 20 minutes.” Mum signed and walked away. I shut my door and go to my wardrobe. I chose a pair of skinny jeans and a fancy vest top, paired off with converse trainers. I brush my hair and put a small amount of makeup on. I go down and join my family. We had some amazing food and a night full of laughter. I fell into bed at 12am.
