My Dark Alpha

Kira!

I am convinced I have fumes coming off of me as I walk back to the house. When I come through the back door Helena is there waiting for me with a half smile.

“My brother linked me and told me to prepare a guest room for you and I have been instructed not to ask any questions.” She says in a way that is saying ‘please tell me everything.’

“Thank you, Helena I appreciate that. If you wouldn’t mind showing me where my room is I need to make a call.” I give her a small smile.

“Of course, follow me.” She motions for me to come with her.

We go up to the second floor and she leads me to a small room on the right wing of the house. It’s cute and reminds me of my room at home. The bed is small with a white comforter set and a little side table. There is a small bookshelf with books about the history and mythology of werewolf’s. It’s cozy and for a second I don’t feel too far from home.

“It’s perfect Helena, thank you.” I smile at her. I’m relieved when she gives me a nod and leaves. The only person I want to talk to right now is Kira. I pull my phone out to call her and she picks up on the second ring.

“Rory! How is it going? I’ve been waiting for you to call!” She practically yells at me

“Ohh.. do I have some s**t to tell you” I say. I tell her about how the place is actually beautiful and runs very sufficiently and not a dirty rotten dark place like we thought it would be. I tell her about Annabelle, about the sweet picnic, and then about the f*****g rules.

“Who the f**k does he think he is?! Giving you a curfew like a child! Threatening to whip you if you don’t comply? That f****r.” She’s p****d and I am too because she’s right. Who the f**k does he think he is? I’m not one to pull the rank card but if he thinks he’s going to whip me for being out after eight he’s got another thing coming.

“Yeah I know right and letting me sleep in the same bed he was just f*****g another girl in! I’ve only been here one day Kira, one day! I will never make it 6 months.” I sigh into the phone. I just want to go home.

“I’m coming there. Tomorrow I’m coming. I don’t care what Mr. You Will Follow My Rules has to say I will be there tomorrow afternoon.” I perk up immediately, Kira being here will make things so much better.

“Oh Goddess Kira I would love that, I need a friend here. His family seems nice enough, well except his father but I don’t know them and I can’t talk s**t about him to them.” I’m sure they know he’s an a**hole but it’s just natural to defend your family member no matter how much of a d**k they are.

“It’s settled then. I’ll be there tomorrow afternoon, I can’t wait to see you! I will call you before I leave in the morning.” Kira is the best friend ever

“Ok I can’t wait!” I exclaim

We say our goodbyes and hang up the phone. I decide to browse the books when I hear a knock at the door. I contemplate not answering it on the chance it’s Damon but when a second knock comes I decide to open the door. Luckily, it’s not Damon standing there it’s Clark.

“Alpha Damon said you would probably want to eat in here tonight.” Clark has a tray of food in his hand

“Alpha Damon would be correct Clark, thank you. You can set it on the side table.” I smile at him. Just because I’m not a fan of Damon doesn’t mean I’m going to be mean to everyone else here.

Clark sets the tray down but before he leaves he turns to me obviously wanting to say something.

“He’s not a bad guy Princess. He’s just had a rough go at things. Be patient with him please, he needs you.” He looks sad

“I am trying Clark, would you please tell Alpha Damon to expect my best friend Kira’s arrival tomorrow afternoon. I would like her to come stay for a bit.” I’m not going to ask if she can come stay so I put it in a way that’s not up for discussion

“Of course, Princess.. Kira, that’s a pretty name.” He’s looks curious

“Wait until you see the face.” I raise my eyebrows

He laughs and leaves the room. I eat my dinner while I watch the dating show I’ve come to like when I find myself wondering about Damon, Clark said he’s had a rough go at things. I wonder what he meant by that.

“You should go see him.” Rain says to me

“I can’t rain, not after the way he talked to me. I will not be treated like a child.” I know she’s already crazy in love with Ares but it’s not the same for me and Damon and I know it’s not fair.

“I just want the two of you to remember that your actions affect Ares and me as well. If you two can’t work things out you don’t only lose your mate but I lose mine.” She is not happy with me which is not something I’m used to. Rain and I never fight.

Oh, f**k it. I get up and start walking to Damon’s room. When I get there I just stand at his door for a minute contemplating going back. But I’ve already come this far so I raise my hand and knock. He opens the door with only a pair of grey sweat pants on. He may be an a**hole but goddess he’s hot.

“Uhh.. hey, so I just wanted to make sure Clark told you about Kira coming tomorrow.” I try to come up with an excuse as to why I came up here

“Yes he told me, I’ve asked Helena to prepare her a room as well.” I kind of figured he would be more angry about it, not that I care.

“Ok, well that’s all I wanted. Thanks.” I turn to leave but he grabs my arm and pulls me back to him.

“Arora, I’m sorry for how I spoke to you. This is new to me and I am trying to figure it out. I want to change, but I need you to be patient with me. I want to be better for you, Princess.” He rubs my face so gently it hard to believe he can be so mean

“You are so hot and cold Damon, it’s really confusing and it’s only been a day.” I sigh. “I came up here because Rain is really upset with me and she made a really good point to me. She said what we do affects her and Ares too.” He nods his head and I’m assuming he and Ares had a similar conversation

“Ares isn’t happy with me either. He made me realize some things too. I want to make changes Arora, just please give me time to do it.” He pleads

“I will, I am going to try to contain my attitude. I know I have a short temper.” I’ve always been a bit of a short fuse and no it doesn’t have anything to do with my red hair

He snakes his arm around my lower back and pulls me to him.

“Stay with me tonight please, Ares and I will be restless without you.”

His face is so close to mine it makes it impossible to think. His scent consumes me. All I can do is nod and he wastes no time pulling me in the room with him slamming the door behind us.

“So, when you said you’d never done anything with anyone, does that mean you’ve never kissed anyone?” Something like shame runs through me, I shouldn’t be embarrassed about the face I’ve never kissed anyone.

“No I haven’t.” I shake my head

“So that means I’ll be your first kiss?” He seems excited by this news

“Who says I’ll be kissing you?” I c**k an eyebrow at him

“Me.”

He leans down capturing my lips in his. I feel sparks explode and my body starts tingling. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull myself up to deepen the kiss. I moan into his mouth and he pulls away.

“Did I do something wrong?” I know I’ve never done it but it seemed like it was good

“No Princess, but with you making sounds like that I am going to have a hard time controlling myself.” He steps forward pulling me into his chest.

“Come on let’s get to bed, you have an exciting day tomorrow.” He smiles and kissing me on the top of my head. I really didn’t think he would be so calm about Kira coming uninvited.

We crawl in to bed and he pulls me into him. I feel my eyelids get heavy and in no time I’m drifting off to sleep.
