Chapter Four - Denial
Kaida's POV
I look down at myself and realize that I am half-naked, causing my entire body to shiver in fear as my mind begins to think of the worst. What happened between us? Why am I on the bed of Alpha Dominic? Why is he staring at me in such a manner?
I mutter a cuss under my breath and run a hand through my hair in frustration. Oh my goodness, the last thing I remember is that something possessed me in the forest, and then I heard this voice that called me closer. The voice sounded just like his.
I gaze at Alpha Dominic while he raises his hand at me in mock surrender. "Allow me to explain things to you, you look frightened." His deep voice rings out loud.
I shook my head in disagreement. "What do you have to explain to me?" I yelled angrily. "You kidnapped me and stripped me of my clothes!" I jerked off his bed.
"You need to calm down. That is not what happened. Why would I strip off your clothes? "You are not exactly my type." I hear him mutter under his breath.
"Then what sort of explanation are you going to give for this?" I cried out, snatching the bed cover from his bed and using it to cover myself. My cheeks flush red in embarrassment and I do my best to avoid eye contact with him.
Alpha Dominic looks like he is about to reply, but the door to his room suddenly flies open wide and a lady steps into the room. Her gaze shifts to me and I watch a frown grow on her face.
Oh, thank goodness you are here, Lyra. "Can you please help me out here?" Alpha Dominic flashes her pleading eyes. Surprisingly for me, the so-called Lyra girl shakes her head in disagreement and raises her hand in mock surrender. "Nope, you caused this upon yourself. "This is your own cross to bear." With that, the girl rushes out of the room and shuts the door behind us.
I hear Alpha Dominic sigh, he slowly takes a few steps closer to me, causing me to take a few steps backward until my back is against the wall. "Do not come closer to me," I warn him, but Alpha Dominic turns a deaf ear to my request.
He freezes in front of me and grabs my hand. I feel a sudden electricity course through my veins and a certain tingling in my stomach. I bite my lower lip as I feel the warmth from his body to mine. "Do you feel it?" He whispers softly into my ears. His hot breath dances around my neck, causing me to release a small moan.
I slowly nod my head in agreement, subconsciously. "I do." I whisper back.
Unfortunately for me, Alpha Dominic pulls back, and I feel a pang of disappointment hit me. I suddenly feel this yearning to have him close to me again. Seriously though, what is going on with me?
"First off Kaida, you are a werewolf." Alpha Dominic blurts out. I furrow my brows in confusion at him. No way in hell am I a werewolf! No damn way! I shook my head in disagreement, no!
"Look, I know it is hard for you to accept it, but it is the truth: My bite transformed you into a werewolf," He says, rubbing the back of his neck. I feel my heartache, and my hands reach for my neck region. Surprisingly for me, the mark has disappeared. As a matter of fact, there is no trace of the bite mark again.
"H-ow? Wh-y?" I choked out a small cry.
"I am sorry. I did it to save myself from getting killed by you. You have to accept the truth now. "You are a werewolf and a member of my pack," he blurts out.
What about Kaid? If Kaid finds out that I am a werewolf, he is going to hate me. I already hate myself for becoming a monster. My goodness, what sort of misfortune is this? Why is all of this happening to me?
Alpha Dominic sighs. "Allow me to help you, Kaida. I will help control yourself during the full moon. You can join the pack too. I mean, I know it is a lot for you right now. "Having to adjust from your human lifestyle to the lifestyle of a wolf," Alpha Dominic says.
Why is he so kind to me? A drop of tear falls from my eyes and I can no longer control it. I slump to the floor and break down into tears. My heart broke into pieces as I imagined how Kaid would react to this news.
"Kaida, please. It hurts me to see you cry." I hear Alpha Dominic whisper. I looked up to gaze at him and, to my surprise, his eyes were already on me.
"What about this? This unexplainable feeling I have towards you? Do you have an explanation for that too? I do not know why I am so drawn to you. But I always want to be by your side. I want to have you around me, and it is so weird because it started even before I became a werewolf. "It started the moment I stared into your eyes," I confess.
Alpha Dominic's face drops. "I think this is too much for you to take in right now. I want you to calm down and process things slowly. "We can talk about our feelings later but right now, I need you to embrace the fact that you are a werewolf, my beta," he says.
I suddenly felt anger rise in me. Why does he keep repeating that? What the hell is wrong with him?
"Cut the crap. I want to know everything! Why do I feel attracted to you? Why do I want you so bad?"
"I did not do anything to you, Kaida. It is the will of the Moon goddess and, trust me, I am still finding it hard to accept it myself. You and I are fated.
mates."
What!
Fated Mates?
