Blind Alpha

Chapter 3

I sighed and tossed myself into my queen size bed. This day was pretty exhausting for me. From school to that mansion. However, the image of that guy and the mansion is still running in my mind. I badly want to go inside that mansion again. Maybe that guy will let me or Jeff might give me a tour.

Good luck with that.

God! I need some sleep to clear my mind. I closed my eyes and let the dark devour me. But when I finally get my sleep my phone rang that woke me up. Damn that phone! I jumped off my bed and searched for my phone in my bag. I found it and answered the call. It was my dad.

"Hey dad." I greeted.

"Hey honey. Is school good this day?" He asked.

"No. I got a detention slip for the first time because I punched the Queen Bee in the face." I answered and dad made a soft laugh. Thank God that we still have at least a normal conversation like this. I barely talked to him and when we do it is because he got a problem. Now that I mentioned it.

"Dad? You got something to tell me aren't you?" I asked and he was silent for a second or two.

"Yeah...I might not come home next week. I got some things and I know that I am---" I cut him off because I knew what's his reason. It’s always the same and I hate it.

"I understand dad. Just....just be careful. I'll see you soon." I said as I stopped myself from crying just for the same reason.

"Okay. Okay honey. I'll see you soon. I love you." He said.

"I love you too." I sighed and ended the call. I sniffed and wiped the tears in my eyes.

My dad was never there for me since I was twelve. It’s been six years that he's been doing it. He was so unfair. He never supports me in any activity in school anymore. Yes, he pays for everything but that was not enough! Can't he see that I need him to be there for me? He always leaves me alone and I hate it. I really hate it! I feel like I am alone all my life.

I sniffed and walked into the window. I looked outside to the sky. It was full moon. The forest was very quiet that only the sound of crickets, frogs and an owl is heard. The night was very peaceful and the darkness for me is very welcoming. I was never afraid of the dark. It just made me feel better especially when I'm sad. I signed and about to close the window when I heard a sound. It was a howl. A howl?!

How on earth? I never heard any howl in my two weeks here. And no one told me that there are wolves here. I never even see one when I wondered the forest. The howling stopped but another howl had destroyed the silence but it came from a different direction. There are lots of them! Maybe a pack! I hurriedly closed the window and stepped back. I think I'll be needing a car from now on. I don't want to be eaten by any wolf on my way to school or on my way here. I'm too young to die!!!

I woke up early in the morning, did my morning routines, get my dad's credit card and get into my bike. I won't be going to school today because I'll go shopping. I'm going to buy myself a jeep. I wasn't joking about buying a car just to be save from any dangerous animal like wolf. Dad won't care anyway if I steal a little in his money.

I hit the road but pulled the break when I reached again the gates that lead to the mansion. Today the place was very different. It was very quiet today. The gate is painted, no sign of rust and the weeds around the walls were removed.

How did they managed to get everything clean?

The mansion was pretty clear now and can be seen. The whole place was not hidden anymore. It gives me a better view to the place. I badly want to get in when the man I first encounter yesterday came out from the two large doors. He was wearing a white shirt today and slacks. He's still wearing a shade.

Who is he? A guy in shades?

That was weird. Then his head snapped toward me. I think he was looking at me. I smiled and waved at him but he did not wave back. He just went inside again. Think he doesn't like me at all. I sighed and thought that he might not be let me enter his mansion again.

I arrived at the town and went around. It took me five hours before I could find a good one. I found a jeep that is just good for my price. I bought it immediately. I tied my bike at the back and went to the driver side. I started the engine and drive my way back home. I played a song in titled 'Drag Me Down' by One Direction. Hey I am not a 1D fan. I only love this one song from them but beside that…no.

With your love nobody can drag me down.

(Nobody. Nobody)

Nobody can drag me down! (Nobody. Nobody)

Nobody can drag me down!

I sing along with the sound as I finally entered the forest. The sky was getting dark with the grey clouds. I think it will rain. After a few minutes, fogs came down covering most of the forest. I hope I will never hit someone or anything. The fog is just so thick. I focused my eyes to the road. I don't want to have any accident in my first drive after 3 years.

Suddenly, when I was about to make a turn, a wolf jumped on the way. It was a big grey wolf!! I screamed and hit the break. Thank God I am wearing the seat belt or else I might fly out of the car. The wolf! I looked at the road again but there was nothing. That wolf was very big. Maybe three times larger than those ones I saw in a movie. How the f**k they get that big? Or was I dreaming? Maybe I was hallucinating or something. There are no such things like bigger wolf in reality!

I removed my seat belt and climb off my jeep. I looked around but see nothing but trunks and thick fog. I walked into the place where I saw the wolf jump. What I saw made my eyes wide. It was four paw prints of the wolf and they are just...large. One thing is true; I wasn't dreaming at all.
