Moving To His House

1488 Words
JANE POV A lot has changed in the past few days. I am living with a pack of werewolves, serves them as a maid, and have been harassed by one of them. The kitchen incident has shaken me to the core and since then I have become extra careful. I haven’t opened up about it with anyone because I don't trust anyone here. I am afraid and all alone. This is excruciating!  “ I am 19 and I still haven’t found my mate,” Emma said with a hint of frustration in her voice. Her statement piqued my interest. I had heard about this mate thing but could never really comprehend it. Till now, all I could manage to gather was that it had to do something with soulmates. “ How do you know if someone is your mate?” I asked. “ It just happens. You get drawn to the person in the first meeting only. You just know that he is the one,’ Jemmy explained. “Interesting,” I said, however, what I actually wanted to say was “weird.”  “Have you found your mate, Jemmy?” I shot another question her way. “Yes. Steve is my mate. I am originally from Red Moon Pack but got shifted here after I found him,” her happiness was reflecting in her tone. I wondered if Josh had found his mate.  Three days passed in a blink. I locked my room from inside and walked up to my bed to sleep the night away. I had hardly reached the bed when I felt someone’s presence in the room. I swallowed in fear and was about to whirl around when someone grabbed my waist from behind. I tried to scream but again he pressed his hand on my mouth.  I struggled to get out of his grip but only felt his hold tightened in response. His strong arm coiled around my waist was adding to the pain. The intruder tore my sleeves and began pressing his lips on my shoulder. I felt like a piece of meat at that time. Tears streamed down my face when I realized what he was doing. His arm that was on my waist slowly began to crawl up to my chest. I needed to get out of it.  I tried to drag down his hand placed on my mouth and when I succeeded to get it down a little, I bit on it. I sank my teeth in his skin and screamed from the top of my lungs. The intruder climbed out of the window before the packmates started beating my door. I rushed to the door and pulled the door wide open. Shanaya was standing there with others. They all were wearing an expression of shock but I felt relieved. I let myself fall down with exhaustion. Shanaya crouched and held me. ”What’s wrong? What happened to you?” She asked worriedly. I was too much in shock to answer. I just kept crying and shivering. My body was bathed with sweat and tears amd then I felt drowning into a void as I closed my eyes.  I woke up to find Shanaya sitting on a chair next to my bed. "Oh, you are awake. Thank god. Let me help you" She helped me sit up. "You fine honey?" I could see the concern in her eyes. I nodded and took notice of my torn sleeves. Tears chased their way out of my eyes.  "Do you remember who he was?' She held my hand and squeezed it gently. I strained my mind to remember anything about his face but I couldn't, 'No, it was very dark. I couldn't see his face" "You must be hungry. Let me get you something to eat, " Shanaya got up from the chair. She was about to move when I held her arm "please, don't leave me alone, " A tear rolled down.  "Don't worry, everything will be alright. Chris has gone to meet Alpha. They will soon find out who the culprit is, " Shanaya tried to console me. I smiled at her, though, internally I knew Josh was never going to punish one of his because of a woman. "Can I have something to wear? " I asked in a plain tone.  I strained every cell of my brain to remember anything related to that person. He was tall, wide, and strong just like any other men in the house. She wondered who was her harasser among them. Her train of thoughts got derailed when she heard the sound of the door.  Shanaya stepped into the room with Chris and then she saw Josh following them in. She was seeing him after four days. His sight brought her some relief and for the first time, she felt her fear receding into oblivion.  Shanaya walked up to her and settled herself in the chair whereas Chris stood next to her. Josh closed the door and stood around the far corner of the bed. He had his hands in his pant's pocket and gaze down on the ground. "Hey, could you tell them what happened with you last night? " Shanaya asked gently while rubbing my shoulder.  I swallowed the lump in my throat and lowered my eyes as tears were threatening to flow out. I narrated the entire incident and the one that happened with me in the kitchen in one go. I couldn't bring myself to look in the eyes of any of them as I felt too weak and shattered. I closed my eyes allowing tear coursing down to my lips. And when I opened it, I saw him tracing the course of my tears.  And when his eyes returned on mine, I saw an unreadable expression in there. His eyes were the same blue but this time they rendered the blue of fire. The one vowing to raze the world to the ground. He stepped out of the room without saying anything.  The next morning came with a big surprise. “You’ll be working for the Alpha now. It’s not safe for you to stay here as the culprit is still on the loose and anonymous,” Emma accosted. I was at a loss for words. “You will be safe there. Josh lives alone and only a few people are allowed to get in his house,” she tried to assuage my anxiety. I nodded in response. “Now get ready we are leaving in half an hour,” Emma stood up and turned on her heels towards the door.  After an hour, I found myself in his house. There was no one in the building except for me and Emma. Emma showed me to my room that looked far prettier than the one I had in the packhouse. “Get yourself some rest and don’t roam inside the house without Alpha’s permission,” Emma said before leaving. I hadn’t slept properly the last time and so when Emma closed the door. I turned off the lights before lying on the bed. Not long after I closed my eyes I got consumed by sleep. “Jane, Jane, Jane…...the whole forest echoed with my name as Mike was screaming from the top of his lungs. I found myself searching for him in the woods in the middle of the night. I shouted back to him but no reply came this time. My body was sheathed with sweat. After wandering a little, I finally heard a noise coming from behind a bush. I sprinted up to the bush and saw my brother lying on the ground with a pool of blood around him and a pair of werewolves standing beside him. The beasts had their paws and mouth smeared with his blood. They were about to pounce on me when I opened my eyes and realized that it was a nightmare.  However, I was still bathed with sweat and tears. My heart was going to break out of my ribs any moment. I rushed to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face. My eyes got fixated on the mirror that was reflecting fear and pain eating at my soul bit by bit. And when I walked out of the bathroom, I saw him standing at the door. “The dinner is ready,” he closed the door while I heard his footsteps moving farther. He was sitting by the dining table eating his food when I arrived. I looked around and realized there was only us. I sat on a chair 3rd to his but he didn’t bother to look up. I wondered if I had become invisible. We ate our food in silence until a husky voice made me jump out of my skin, “You’ll be making food from tomorrow on.” I nodded without looking up, in fact, I didn’t look up during the entire dinner. That was the only talk we had that day.  Tomorrow was going to be much more interesting. Hey guyzz, do like the story and follow. Please drop in your comments too whether you like the story or not.
