Taming Inner Desires

Chapter 5 Complications

Alina's Pov

My body felt stiff and sore, I slowly opened my eyes and nearly fell off the hospital bed I was on. I was in a little room that looked like a hospital s***h private clinic in a house. I sat up and saw that I had an IV connected. It was simply saline water so I wasn't too worried but I was trying to figure out why the hell I was in a hospital bed ? Had something happened? My memory was foggy and the last thing I really remembered was Killian , his speeding car and a lot of pain, wait, I jumped from his car....

Shit wait why did I have the urge to jump? I remember feeling a heat spread through me and I had to run, my legs and body were aching, and now I obviously landed in hospital! Was that maybe suicide tendencies. My thoughts were cut off by a door opening near by.

"I checked her vitals and everything she's good to go. So uh are you going to allow her to stay like alpha asked or are you going to do this alone?"A familiar voice spoke. I didn't know it well but it was familiar. But what on earth was he saying? Allow me to stay in hospital! Maybe I was brought to a mental institute for suicidal people....Oh gosh!

"Thanks doc but I'm going to handle this one on my own thank you very much. This child doesn't need to know it. I'm going to help her."Now that voice I knew!

"Grampa?!"I asked.

My gramps walked around the curtain and came over immediately and gave me a hug, I could feel the tension in his body and the love.

"I'm so sorry I have no idea what happened I was with Killian and then....nothing I don't know why I can't remember," I lied alittle not wanting Greg to know I jumped out a moving car. "I-I'm so sorry" I began to cry and he hushed me.

"My child it's alright everything's gonna be just fine." My dad had always said that when everything was worse than what they were letting on, maybe he was doing the same. I kept quiet while the doctor walked in. I was surprised to see my science class teacher Mr Lock.

"Mr Lock?"

"Hey Alina, yes this must be strange but in a small town like this there isn't a hospital for miles so people come here to get treated my own little hospital." He beamed. I tried smiling but was glad my suspicions were wrong about the phsyc ward.

"Can I go home sir?"I was still trying to process what to call him.

"You're all good to go. I gave your grandfather your meds you take 3 a day after a proper meal, it's a muscle relaxant and repair agent you kinda tore your shoulder blade muscle and hit your pretty lil' noggen. We are not too sure what happened that you were in the forest all battered up?"He asked.

I could see Greg staring at me intently waiting.

"I kinda was mean to My friend Killian," Mr Locks eyes narrowed and I felt alittle suspicious again,"-we had a little tiff an I walked away from him I remember tripping on the steep road on my way home and fell that's about the last thing I remember."

"Alina you walked home alone!! Did I not tell you that the forest is dangerous!!"Greg looked mad and I felt like a little 6 year old again.

"I know I'm sorry."

"Killian should have known better!"Greg was seething.

"Greg you should have known better!"Mr Lock warned My gramps which was strange.After that they both stared each other down.

"I brought you clothes Alina get dressed while doc and I chat outside."

When I was done getting dressed I walked over to the mirror. I looked like shit.My right eye was slightly bruised my shoulder was dead but almost a black blue with huge scabs. I felt the bump on my head and winced.

I walked out the room and I found Greg waiting alone for me. We said nothing as we made our way through the maze of corridors, Mr Locks house must be really big. We finally exited and came to a huge foyer that had stairs leading up, was like a castle styled staircase, Alot of doors, and a few people moving around.

"It's a community house, Alot of people live here together. They feel safer that way."Greg explained. I nodded but was amazed the tiles were a marble, white ooking expensive the people were watching me but I looked down feeling like dirt on the white floor.

We got outside and the rows of expensive cars ,and my gramps truck stood out like a bucket of rust. I quickly climbed in and dozed off on the way home. Feeling my meds kick in.

Hello euphoria. Thats when I started dreaming.

I was running away from someone.....or something....I felt so cold, lost and afraid. I felt my heart beating in my throat. I can't breath. I somehow tripped on a piece of wood and face planted into the forest floor. I heard the soft growling and slowly turned, the giant beast was coming closer, he leaned over me blocking me with he's giant paws, I looked into his eyes, pitchblack orbs, and I realised I was no longer scared, I felt drawn towards him. His muzzle lowered and nuzzled into my neck and a deep purring sound resignated from his chest and I felt goosebumps on my forearms and my entire body was buzzing for something, I felt my thighs burning and I let out a moan just as.....as he bit deep into my shoulder and fire blazed through me but it was so painful I screamed out and tried to kick him off.

I felt something shaking me an I fought to get it off.

"Alina! Wake up!"Greg's voice finally broke through and my eyes snapped open. I felt tears run down my face.

"Sorry." Was all I whispered. Greg told me it was going to be alright and held me tight. I felt like something was eating away at me and I didn't know what it was.I felt suffocated and needed to be outside. I got up pushing past Greg. The need began to get stronger and I could hear Greg run after me. I burst through the front door onto the porch stumbling down the stairs. I finally got to the grass and my knees gave out,my heart was pounding in my ears.

My body was shivering yet I wasn't cold, my body pulled stiff almost like a cramp but then it stopped. I laid down in the grass and let out the breath I didn't know I had been holding.

"Alina.....Are you feeling okay?"Greg asked softly.

"I just...need....some fresh air." I tried to talk through the pain .It finally subsided just as I heard a wolf howl in the distance and I remembered my nightmare and started screaming.

"Alina it's alright it's just a wolf."He touched my shoulder and I turned and snapped at his hand.

I stopped and looked up surprised,had I just done that?

"I'm sorry I don't know what's wrong with me."I looked away ashamed.

"Come on I'll give you some sleeping pills to get you through tonight and we can go see the pharmacist tomorrow. Maybe we can go see the psychiatrist, your mom said you used to go but stopped outta your own ,maybe that will help. Come on let's get you inside."

After my gramps had given me some pills I slept the night through and woke up the next morning bright eyed and bushy tailed till I realised I was on my period.

"No wonder I felt like s**t last night...thank gosh now I don't need to see the psychiatrist today."I spoke to myself.

Greg had left early to go see an old friend who was in town, he left me a note saying he would be back after school. I ate breakfast showered and got ready.I pulled on some black stockings a black half button up dress with pockets, my black combat boots and finished it off with a shocking green cotton scarf.I tied my hair into a messy bun and just did mascara.I heard a car horn and walked down stairs. I had completely forgotten about my lift to school.

I walked down my porch up to Killian and slapped him hard.

"I probably deserve that."He cast his eyes down and I could hear he was really sorry but I was raging.

"Did you even come looking for me, did you even stop to think or call someone for help!!"I yelled.

"I called Greg and he said he found you, he said you were fine, he took me out bad but what were you thinking Alina!" He yelled back.

"No do not blame me. You screamed at me and went on about how I should watch what I say this isn't the big city! You don't even know why I'm here! You don't get to call me a city girl!!"I started crying as the memories started surfacing.

Killians face fell and he came forward.I looked down and he cupped my cheek forcing me to look up. My body betrayed me by sending ripples of pleasure down...

"You're right I don't get to judge, I'm sorry will you let me make it up to you this weekend?"I wanted to reject his offer but I liked how Killian was looking at me.

Maybe it was just me seeing what I wanted to.

"You only get one chance, screw it up and I'll make you pay!" I said finally giving in. I was alittle ashamed that my voice sounded so flirty. Killian smiled and I could see the mischief there. He bent down close to my face, our lips inches apart.

"Let's go before....."I almost closed my eyes."your late."I mock punched Killian.

"Asshole."I whispered.

The drive to school was funny he asked if I was going to jump at any moment and if he needed to save me. I laughed the whole way. We stopped in the school parking lot and Killian turned to me.

"Try enjoy today forget about yesterday and just look forward to your 'I'm sorry 'Surprise Friday night, okay?"

"I'm starting to doubt you, but sure I'll try enjoy today, see ya later."He came forward and I quickly leaned in to give him a hug afraid I might embarrass myself again.

"Haha cute..."He said and I climbed out. He drove away and I felt my body begin to tingle, I felt slightly hot. My period annoyed me, made me feel so gross and weirdly sometimes.

I turned and saw that Chad was standing with a group of guys and girls all looking laid back. Except for Chad, he was staring at me and it almost looked like he had a pissed off expression. I smirked he must be alittle jealous of Killian....or maybe he was still pissed with me I reflected....I almost felt bad but then remembered I didn't know him and he didn't know me and he was a jerk to me.

So why the fuss Alina? Maybe my period is making me a crazy guy Hunter. No thank you the world has enough sluts.

I walked beelining for the main door away from the pack of wolves...

Ha! Funny.
