Ordinary

Six

My brain comes back online first. I can feel I'm drenched in sweat and every part of me from my hair to my toes is sore. I can't move my left arm at all. Nor do I have any control over any part of my torso. The only true heat I feel is on one side of my body, but it isn't like it was before. This heat feels foreign, like it's not coming from inside my body. I can hear breathing. When a few muscles finally seem to listen, I roll my head in that direction before trying to peel my eyes open.

Several tries later, I finally force my eyes open to see the beautiful stranger from before. Why is he still here? My heart races and panic sets in. His words were sweet, but it was a trick to allow Dr. Zaho to put some sort of medicine in my arm. He obviously didn't want me, so why is he here? The look of utter disgust he had before, becomes ever present in the front of my mind.

I'm suddenly painfully aware my top half is completely bare. I then flip the blankets to see the stranger is down to his underwear and I am completely naked. Oh Goddess, what if... What was that medication? Am I still... intact? What the Hell happened? I rush to scramble out of the bed. I need to put as much space as possible between our bodies, but my legs are too weak to carry me. Landing on the floor, I quickly scan the room for something to cover myself. Traded, I was traded to be here for this? I’ve heard before about some packs having s*x slaves, but I didn’t think I would be forced to be one. And why would he want me unconscious for that when I was so willing? My mind is reeling so fast, I can barely keep up with my own thoughts.

"Sweet Wolf?" The stranger mumbles sleepily.

"Stay where you are!" I say with all the gumption I can muster.

I look around for anything to defend myself with, coming up empty I do my best to prepare myself for whatever is going to come next.

"Sweet Wolf, why are you on the floor? Are you okay? Let me help you up!" He says rushing over to me.

I flinch and a whimper escapes before I can regain control. Hearing the waiver in my own voice is more than I can handle. I lose all remaining hope in getting out this situation and weep.

"What did you do to me?" I sob "Why did you... How could you.... Is this why I'm here? THIS can’t be why he traded for me? To be… THAT?!" I can't force the words s*x slave to be spoken, I don’t think I could handle his confirmation.

"Whatever you THINK happened, I assure you, did not my Sweet Wolf. I'm not that kind of man and had no idea you would be my mate when my brother bartered for you. Zaho, believes being so close to your mate’s brother is what set your heat off. I promise you, nothing happened. There was no s*x, I wouldn’t touch you in that way, without your consent."

I flinch once more as he attempts to tuck my hair behind my ear. His words seem so completely genuine but the look of disgust from before.. A new wave of hurt sets in as I realize I was given two mates, and neither want anything to do with me.

"Look at me Sweet Wolf. I'm sorry I've frightened you and I'm sorry about how you came to be here. But I'm not sorry that you are here. I had to help Dr. Zaho give you that sedative so your human side could have a chance to make decisions and not just your wolf. It took every last ounce of self control to not give into what you were asking, trust me, I wanted you." He continues explaining "Your body fought off the medication and you woke up screaming. You couldn't breathe and were clawing at that blasted dress, I had to rip it off to make you stop clawing before you cut yourself. Nothing else happened. Now my beautiful, frightened mate, can I please have your name?"

"Ordinary" I whisper between gulps of air as my bawling subsides.

"You my dear are anything but ordinary. I am Jason Michaels, may I please have the pleasure of knowing your name?" He's now staring directly into my eyes.

“Ordinary” I choke out once more.

“I understand you’re upset; we can talk a little more until you’re comfortable enough to tell me what your name is.” He say in a matter of fact tone. He then hands me the blanket from the bed and plops down next to me.

“Zaho assures me things will be better once your wolf wakes up. He had to do another different sedative than the first time to get your wolf to sleep. She had to have fought hard to get past the first round of sedation. Zaho, said she was the first one he’s seen to get around it in his entire medical career.” Jason says beaming with pride.

“If you’re done terrifying your mate, I need to speak with her.” Alpha Michaels says from just beyond the bars.

Jason growls and without warning pulls me into his lap. I was barely able to keep the blanket covering myself in the quick transition.

With a bored tone, Alpha rolls his eyes stating “Jason, if I were planning on taking Ordinary anywhere, I would have done it when you dropped from exhaustion earlier. You need sleep dude.” He lets himself in the room, plops down across from us and smells the air. His eyes squint and he gives Jason a concerned look.

“Ordinary, your wolf isn’t awake yet? Is that normal?” Alpha Michaels says with a curious look.

Jason seems to go through an array of emotions before landing on what appears to be the same look of disgust he had when I fell asleep yesterday. “Wait, so your name is really Ordinary?”

“Right!?” Alpha Michaels responds. He then spends nearly three hours questioning me on everything from yesterday, to my original pack, to what he wants to know about my mother. The entire time, Jason sits there with me still in his lap. He smells my hair, rubs my back during the rough points, but says nothing.
