The true first blood

into the woods

Chapter 4 &5

Chapter 4

Arabella's POV

I rush out of the packhouse kitchen and allow my wolf to take control she stretches out paw the ground with her paws it's been ages since she was last in control, My wolf refuses to take control Infront of the pack and I rarely get to go on pack runs anyway. I flee into the woods running until my lungs burn and I need something to drink 'We're definitely passed the pack border.' I say to my wolf she scoffs as she has no loyalty to them, she believes they imprison us instead of saving us and I must admit I agree with her I do feel like a prisoner. We lap up the water but keep a trained ear just in case anyone else is out here we could be in rogue territory and they leave no prisoners. That's when I hear it the most sorrow filled howl ever, I turn my head in the direction but see nothing I try to creep away but a twig snaps under one of my paws 's**t' I say to myself. I look around again and that's when I see them a pair of sun like eyes staring at me, I bolt off as quick as I can but the footsteps are so close, I do the only thing I can think of and jump up into the trees. From a young age I noticed I'm not like other wolves I can do things that others can't like I can heal in a day some wolves it takes two or three days and with a serious injury they can take weeks. I sometimes wish I knew who my parents were so I could find them and ask them why I'm so different or maybe that's why they abandoned me. I see the gold eyes again then with my heightened sense I see that it's another wolf with Fur blacker than the sky and little flecks of silver it almost looks like the night sky when it's clear of clouds. 'MATE!' Celeste shouts. I stop her from jumping down 'Celeste we can't what if he's a rogue he'll kill us mate or not they don't follow our rules they pick their own mate remember.' She whimpers and slumps down watching the beautiful stranger walk onwards to a nearby stream when he's far enough away we jump down and follow him keeping our distance. 'it can't hurt to watch him a little.' I crouch as low as I can to the ground watching him drink out of the cool stream. As I watch him, I notice him seeming to be in an internal conversation with himself then he scoffs and runs back in the direction he came from with the close clear I do the same.

I wake the next morning with a massive smile on my face knowing I didn't have to get up early to make everyone's breakfast and the day was mine for once so I ran a bubble bath and allowed myself to soak in the tub. I then went and made myself something to eat and sat in the garden and did some drawing whilst enjoying the sun as it started to get late, I heard the phone ring and the caller id tells me it's the alpha. “Hello Alpha.” I answer trying to be as formal as I could he scoffs then speaks. “Ara, We will be back tomorrow in the late afternoon I want the house to be immaculate as we will be bringing a special guest with us and also make sure you wear that outfit, I got you.” I gulp knowing exactly the outfit he means and I remember the last time I wore it was the first time the alpha touched me and I really didn't want that to happen again. “yes, sir would you like me to prepare a meal for you and the guest for when you return.” I hear him pondering on the question and after a while he replies. “yes, but I need a plate like the one you serve the alpha of all alpha's his son is our guest and has an appetite like his dad. He then hangs up I replace the receiver and go cook my dinner and get ready for a busy day of work tomorrow.

I wake up early so I can get all my chores ready for the alpha's return and prepare their dinner and by 4pm it's all done I run upstairs to my room shower and change into the ridiculous outfit the alpha requested. I then walk downstairs to start the dinner, I clock watch waiting to hear the door open at 5.30 when the alpha said he would be home my stomach growls angrily as I skip breakfast and lunch just to make sure everything was prepared and just like clockwork the door opens and I hear voices conversing and Tomaz's boot's stumping all over the freshly vacuumed carpet the kitchen door slams open and Tomaz stands in its frame. “well would you look at this, A slutty maid you shouldn't try so hard slut I'll f**k you in anything you should know that.” he chuckles then leaves the kitchen. I roll my eyes. 'not tonight Tomaz.' I hear celeste growl. She's tried to protect me once and that got me nearly killed and since then we just agreed that it was the lesser of two evils. “Ara we are sat at the table when you're ready.” I hear the alpha shout through. Then it registers he never speaks to me like that maybe having this guest around could benefit me too. I plaster a smile of my face and start to take the plates out but I only see the family the chair at the head of the table is left unoccupied I place all the dinner's down and go back in the kitchen to eat mine and instead of the usual screaming and shouting I hear at dinner time it seems to be filled with polite chit chat and every now and then laughter. 'are you sure it's actually the alpha and his family.' celeste giggles. I shrug my shoulders not knowing what to think or to say. The alpha then walks in the kitchen. “Ara, I need you to do me 4 lattes and a mocha and all of us a slice of the chocolate fudge cake.” I nod and get to work. I start with the coffee knowing that the alpha's family always have a latte after dinner I take all the dirty plates and replace them with a slice of cake as I'm next to the alpha I feel a hand slide up my leg but for once it's not Tomaz he's too busy texting it was the alpha's hand. I straighten and then when I spotted him Alpha Kendrick's son and then I notice his eye gold like the sun it reminds me of the mysterious wolf I saw. I only look quick as not to be caught staring as I know Steph will beat me within an inch of my life especially with someone, she's interested in which to be honest is any male that isn't blood related. 'MATE!' celeste screams, I feel my eyes widen. “Ara, this is Alpha Kendrick's son, Soon to be Alpha, Lucien.” I look up at the alpha as he speaks to me. “Please to make your acquaintance sir.” I say to Lucien with a bow of my head. He stiffens as he looks at me, he's sun like eyes widening then he shakes his head and nods back to me.
