The Alpha of The Blue Moon Pack

The Touch From a goddess

Night came and it was time for Brawn to retire to bed. Brawn sat on his bed thinking about Au as the image of her face kept flashing in his head. He had always known that she was beautiful but had not had the opportunity to savour her beauty the way he did at work that day. He picked up his pen and got a piece of paper from beside his bed and wrote some lines down as they came to his head. When he was done, he pasted it on the wall of his room. After this, he laid down to sleep.

It read:

Amber-shaped eyes,

Cresent moon smile,

Stony heart, strong emotions;

Beauty within, beauty withal;

Tempting lips, bladed tongue;

Tough-skinned lady goddess,

Lovely at first sight,

Luring at the other.

Creeping into my dreams in the middle of the night,

Stealing my heart such that I don't want it back.

Morning came and Brawn felt so weak to get up. He wanted to sleep some more. His constant sleeping late and waking up early had accumulated some unsettled nights of sleep in him that called for him to attend to them. He lazily got up from his bed. He knew if he slept some more, it would result in him being late for work because he had to finish his morning chores before he left for work. He sluggishly brushed his teeth and put on some clothes.

He finished his chore later than usual because his chores suffered from his sluggishness. He went back in to bathe with the little time he had left and rushed his breakfast. He kept a comb in his pocket because he could not comb his hair in his room as he did not have the time to do so. He decided to comb it when he got to work so he packed his hair together in a single bond. He put on a dark blue shirt, a pair of black trousers and a pair of shoes. As he left the omegas quarters and was heading to the big gate of the pack house, he heard Sparkle call out to him. He turned and saw her standing in front of the pack building. She was dressed in a sky blue flare gown and her hair was left to flow. Dressing elegantly was one of the privileges Sparkle got from being with Au.

He waited and she walked to him.

"Hey, Sparkle." He greeted her as she came toward him.

"Hey, Raw. This is not the usual time you leave for work. I hope everything is alright with you?" she asked him out of concern.

"Yes . . . I don't know, I feel weak and sleepy," he said in a lazy voice. "But it is nothing. I am fine . . . You are off to work right? Let's walk together," he added.

"I actually have been waiting here for you. I am actually leaving for work but I would be leaving before you. Au calls for you."

Brawn's heart seemed to swell to an unnatural size and began to thump loudly under his ribs. The announcement of her call sent worries to him. He wondered what would make Au call for him. She had never called for him before. He hoped he had not done something that landed him in trouble. Her sudden morning call smelt like trouble to him so he quickly did a flashback through all the activities he had done from the time he woke up. He examined each of his actions carefully. He was sure he did not do anything wrong so he asked Sparkle,

"Why is she calling for me? I hope there is nothing wrong?"

"No . . . No . . . She wants you to deliver some perfumes to a werewolf down the road before you go to work."

"Oh," he said as he breathed a sigh of relief, "So where is she now?" he asked.

"She is in her room," Sparkle informed and finally excused herself, "I am sorry I have to be on my way now . . . see you at work."

He watched Sparkle leave and then prepared himself to meet Au. He went into the pack building and walked to the door of Au's room. He tried to lighten up his face so that he would not look sleepy. Au had a sharp mouth and he knew she would insult him if he seemed sleepy. He was not ready for any rude pill that morning so he did a final check on his appearance and knocked on her door.

Her voice pierced out of the door, "Who is it?"

"It's Raw, ma'am. Sparkle told me you called for me," Brawn said in a clear voice.

"Oh that is true . . . Come in. The door isn't locked," her voice came out again.

He held the knob of the door and bent it. The door opened and he walked in.

Au was sitting on a chair next to a big mirror, combing her hair. She was beautifully dressed in a blue flare gown and the scent from her perfume filled the air of her room.

As Brawn shut the door behind him, he moved his eyes around her room. It was like it was the first time in it. The other time he was in her room, he was in trouble so he did not notice the features of her room. Her room was twice the size of the room he slept in at the hospital. It was divided into two: an inner chamber and an outer chamber. The outer chamber had three chairs: A big royal chair which had the frame coated with gold, a smaller chair in front of a mini table and a chair in front of a big drawer table. There was a stool beside the table too. The drawer table was located at the corner of the outer chamber. It had a lot of bottles containing body oil, hair oil and perfumes; on it. There was a fancy candle stand which held six candle sticks. The candle stand stood on the drawer table. There was also a little mirror sitting on the drawer table while an average-sized fancy mirror was fixed to the wall above it. Close to the entrance of the room was another mirror which was about the height of an average-sized werewolf. There was a big locked wardrobe fitted to the left wall of the outer chamber and fire touches hung on the right wall. The walls of the outer chamber were painted in bright golden brown.

The inner chamber was smaller than the outer chamber. There were two curtains that separated the inner chamber from the outer chamber. The curtains were opened so he could see the inner chamber properly. It had a big bed for Au and a smaller one beside it for Sparkle. There were two candle stands on top of a small stool by the edge of Au's bed. A rose flower planted in a bowl was placed at the corner of the inner chamber where the ray of sun could reach it. The inner chamber was painted in dull grey. There was a door by the wall which looked like it led to the bathroom.

"What took you so long? I have sent for you a while ago," Au asked as she turned to him.

"I just got to know a while ago, ma'am. Sparkle had been waiting for me at the entrance of the pack building but I passed a bit later. I am sorry for the inconveniences, ma'am," explained Brawn.

Au said, "It is fine, I want you to deliver these boxes to a delta female down the road," she said pointing at two boxes of perfumes beside the wall.

He walked up to the box while Au continued combing her hair. He was about to pick up the box when he was stopped by Au's voice.

"Wait!"

He stopped and turned in her direction. She had stopped combing her hair but was looking at him through his reflection in the mirror.

She moved her chair backwards as she turned and said, "Your hair . . . Why is it messy? . . . You can't go there looking like this."

Brawn touched his hair almost immediately. He had done a check on his appearance before entering Au's room but forgot that his hair was messy.

"I was a bit late for work this morning so I didn't have time to comb it. But I have my comb in my pocket, I will comb it when I get to work," He replied bringing out the comb from his pocket to show Au that he was not making up stories.

She stared at him for a while and finally said, "Come here, let me help you with it."

"You . . . You want to help me comb my hair, ma'am?" he asked to be sure he had heard her rightly. He was not sure if she teasing him or she was being serious.

She did not answer his question but narrowed her eyes instead.

"You . . . You . . . You do not need to worry about it ma'am, I will comb it before I leave," he stuttered as he said. He still did not believe that she was serious.

"Grab that stool there and place it here," she said pointing to a spot in front of her legs. "I want to comb it myself . . . don't keep me waiting, please!"

He hesitated a bit. He was reluctant to do what she said. It was his hair so she had no right to boss him over his hair. A part of him wanted to decline her "favour" but he decided to give in as he had nothing to lose.

He walked to the stool, picked it and placed it in front of her knees, where she had pointed to earlier. He sat on the stool backing her so that his hair was in front of her.

She removed the band he used to pack his hair in a ponytail. Next, she pulled him closer making him lean backwards towards her. She took some oil and started applying it to his hair. She made his head rest on the side of her thigh as she applied it. Brawn was not comfortable at first with his head resting on her thigh but loosened up when she started massaging the oil into his scalp gently.

The last time Brawn had his hair combed by a lady was when he was still very little. His mother was the one who usually combed it then. Au's touch on his head felt so dulcet and her thigh was so soft as a pillow that Brawn did not know when he fell asleep.
