I wake up in an unfamiliar bed, in an unfamiliar room. It's dark so I can't make out my surroundings. Where the hell am I and what the hell did I just experience. It was unlike any dream I've ever had. It felt too real.
A shiver runs down my spine. I feel something move next to me. What the hell? I feel around my surroundings and come across a hard surface. It starts shaking? I feel around a bit more before I feel a kiss on my finger tips. I quickly pull my hand away as quickly as I can. My fingers feel as if they are one fire. My mind is running a mile a minute but I'm almost certain I'm sleeping next to one very muscular man, based on my blind findings.
The man next to me chuckles before he says, "like what you feel, Sweetheart?"
I scoff at this, "don't call me that!"
"As you wish, Princess," he starts laughing.
"Whatever," I mumble back.
"Close your eyes," he commands. I'm not sure why but there's something about him that makes me want to trust him so I close my eyes.
"Okay, you can open them again."
I do as he says only to notice the bedroom light has been turn on.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"About a day," the Alpha says concerned.
The only thing I can do is sigh. I'm so lost, yet I know what I need to do next. I'm just not sure how to explain to everyone the message Kora sent me.
I push my uneasy feelings aside and lift an eyebrow, "and why exactly am I in your bed?"
"Because we're mates," he responds with a coy expression.
This doesn't make me feel any better so I decide to teach him a thing or two. Nobody messes with me, regardless of what dream Lucas says.
I roll on top of the Alpha so that I'm straddling him. Just for good measure, I rock my hips a few times and feel his hardness pressed against my core. A low growl makes its way from his chest. There might have been a slight miscalculation on my part because I'm also affected by our close proximity. Before I lose my wits, I lower my head to his ear so that he could hear me clearly.186Please respect copyright.PENANAIdxVTRx8ST
"We may have shared a bed, but I don't trust you, Alpha," I slowly push myself off of him but not before I lightly graze my lips on his cheek. I look deep into his eyes and see a yearning in them. Almost as if he's trying to accept my boundaries. It's cute in a way, but for now, my mate is the last of my worries and he's just going to have to accept it.
I get up and leave the room to find a bathroom because let's be honest, I really need to do some long over due business... And take care of some other stuff while I'm at it.
This place is massive. I'm so busy taking in all that is around me that I don't notice the person in front of me.
"Watch where you're going, Bitch," a whiny little mutt says. I just look at her like she's got a screw loose. I'm about to say something to her when I take in her appearance. She looks like someone who intends to get royally fucked. She looks beautiful in her silk baby doll night dress that seems to be at a purposeful seduction length; just enough thigh to make you want to see what else she's hiding but modest enough to stop you in your tracks and beg for forgiveness.
It takes her a few seconds to register what I am before she growls and instantly tries to attack me. I quickly dodge her, but I'm not quick enough and feel a few drops of blood on my cheek. This has me seeing red. I quickly put her in a choke hold as she lashes out blindly to get me off of her. I use her outfit to my advantage and trip her. She goes down easily because of her stilettos and I straddle her. I seem to be doing a lot of this these days. I chuckle to myself. I make sure not to hurt her too much because she is part of the Alpha's pack after all.
"Let go of me, you bloodsucker!" she screeches, "you won't get away with this! I'm the Luna of this pack!"186Please respect copyright.PENANAso5GQjPMsM
All I can do is laugh hysterically at this because there's absolutely no way she's the Luna or will ever be the Luna if I have something to say about it. But she doesn't know that it's my rightful place - to be at Nate's side come hell or high water.
I stop laughing as I just realize what my thought process is. Am I jealous? No, it can't be. Not even five minutes ago I told Nate that I don't trust him so why do I feel this way? Why do I even care who he does in his free time. It has nothing to do with me. Right now, my only focus should be Kora.
I feel a pair of arms lift me up. I know it's him before I can even see him. I melt into his arms as he wraps them around me.
"What the hell are you doing here, Stella?" he asks angrily.
"I- I thought you might need some company," she says as she bats her eyes towards him completely forgetting about our interaction.
"I've clearly got all the company I need," he says, "go back to your room."
"She's a bloodsucker! You can't be serious, Nate!" she yells.
"LEAVE!" he commands in his Alpha voice.
Stella whimpers but gets up to leave, albeit reluctantly.
Nate turns me toward him so he could have a better view of me. He clenches his jaw in anger, "I'm going to kill her."
"I'm fine, Nate. It's just a scratch. I'll heal," I say softly. It's true. I'll heal quickly. Not as quick as a werewolf, but I'll be fine.
His eyes soften at my declaration, but because I'm a dumbass and don't know when to keep my mouth shut, I continue, "besides, I've been through a lot worse."
His jaw clenches again, "I'll make sure it never happens again."
I don't know how to respond to this so I just roll my eyes.186Please respect copyright.PENANAhEsRQacnz2
"As soon as I've found myself a bathroom, please go and get Lucas and Roddrick. I need to tell you all something really important."
"You do know that I have my own bathroom?"
"You could have told me!"
"I was a bit occupied," he says as he wiggles his eyebrow.
"Asshole," I mumble before leaving him alone in the hallway.
