He smiles.
“I guess I’ll let you rest.” He rubs the back of his neck then steps back.
He turns around and walks out the door.
“Goodnight.” He whispers.
I retorted back by nodding my head. Then he left.. I cover my face with my hands then I feel tears slide into the palm of my hands. How does he expect me to be his mate when he and his pack killed my family?!? I fall to the ground and curl into a ball. I start to sob. I try to stay quiet but it seemed to be impossible.
My eyes were weak from crying, I feel myself slipping into darkness. I try to stay awake but it is no use, my eyes was too heavy. Then I close my eyes but open it when I hear any funny steps around.
I look around the lush forest I was raised in. The full moon shines on my body that is in werewolf form. The wind blows through my fur as I walk through the forest. I howl for my packs to find me but there is no response.
. I try to pick up a but all I smell is…. Oh no.. Blood!! I bolt towards the smell running past tall trees. As the smell grows stronger, I slow down.
Suddenly I feel the ground give out from under me. I find myself off a cliff and into a body of water. The warm liquid encases my body then I rise to the surface. I gasp as I reach the surface and then crawl out to dry land.
I lay on the ground then notice the smell is stronger than ever. It’s on me!! I look at the liquid that has drenched my body to see blood all over me!! I scream then jump to my feet.
I turn to run but I trip over something. I look down to see… no.. no!! George!
“George !! No!! George!!” I scream then grab my hair.
Only then do I look all around me to see all of my pack mauled, barely recognizable. I look up to find comfort in my last friend, the moon. But when I do I see a blood red moon. I scream out.
My legs are thrashing everywhere and I feel a sharp pain from both my hands. I didn’t want to open my eyes, because I was scared that my nightmare might be real. I suddenly feel someone grab my shoulder’s. I scream and start to thrash even more.
“It’s okay sweetie!! It’s just a nightmare!! Wake Up!!” A husky voice says.
My eyes shoot open to see Alpha Leo in front of me. I jump back away from him but hit the wall in
the process then I finally realize that I haven been dreaming.
“Calm down, it’s okay.” He soothes.
He reaches his hand toward my face and wipes his thumb across my cheek. I then realize he’s wiping away tears I didn’t know I shed. His touch instantly calms me down. Worry was clearly plastered on his Face.
He looks down to my hand which I notice are dripping in blood. I feel his fingers run across my palms. I wince in pain. Looking up I see sadness in his eyes, and My wolf wants desperately to comfort him but my fear and hatred of him and his pack keeps my kindness in my place.
He runs into the bathroom and comes back with a first aid kit. Though I heal fast, the cuts are so deep it will take a couple of days. He pulls out a cotton ball and peroxide. Soaking the cotton ball in peroxide, he then gently cleans my hands.
I gasp when is goes over a really deep cut. I see him wince. My wolf whines because we made him feel bad but I shrug it off. He deserves it! I know he didn’t mean to hurt me but he still did. We sit in silence as he cleans my wounds, then he looks at me.
“Who’s George?” He asks suddenly.
I flinch at his name. Was I talking in my sleep? I start to feel tears sliding down my cheeks. I quickly wipe them away, not wanting to seem weak in front of him.
“He was my brother.” I whisper.
I try to swallow the knot in my throat but fail. I tense when I see the Alpha’s eyes filled with pain.
“How’d he die?” His voice is now a whisper as well.
I feel my anger burning over. Did he seriously just ask me that?!?! I look away from him, knowing if I didn’t, I would do something I would regret.
“He died saving me from another werewolf.” I say trying to sound calm.
I couldn’t take it anymore. I want him to know what he did to me!!
“He died trying to save me from you!! And your deadly pack!! I scream out.
He flinches when I say it. Pain fills his eyes and it makes my inner wolf whimper. I suddenly see tears streaming down his face. I’m so stupid!! Here he is taking care of me and I start killing him with my harsh words!! Though he may deserve it, I can’t hurt him like that, my wolf nor I can take it. Despite what you may think, I hate hurting people. Even my enemies.
I bite my lip as I see the visible pain in his eyes. Okay, suck it up Mira!! Just say your sorry!! Come on!! You got this!! My wolf screams at me to comfort him but I resist. But my wolf keeps n until I can barely concentrate. I sigh quietly and look up to my mate.
“Im sorry.” I whisper then take a shake breath.
He shakes his head and touches my long, dark hair.
“No….. you don’t need to apologize… I do…. I’m sorry sweetie. I destroyed your life then I freakin kidnap you! I hurt you and that will haunt me until the day I die..” His voice breaks at the end.
I stare at him in awe. Is he really sorry? No! No, he can’t be sorry! He’s a monster! He then stands up and walks in the bathroom to put up the first aid kit. When he comes back I am standing. He sits on the bed and motions me to come to him.
I hesitantly obey and go to him, fearing he might out if I don’t listen. He pats the bed beside of him in a fatherly manner which almost makes me chuckle. I sit down next to him and cross my arms over my chest. I suddenly feel arms pick me up and set down on the Alpha’s lap.
“What’s your name?” He whispers in my ear.
I thought he would’ve known my name because his pack has been watching me ever since that night.
Hesitating for a moment, I freeze in my spot. I don’t want this monster to know my name! My wolf growls at me and suddenly takes over for a split second.
“M-mira.” I say quietly. Or should I say my wolf…
He doesn’t move, “Mira… That’s so beautiful” he says.
My cheeks burn. I’m sure my face is as red as a tomato. Stupid mate bond! Every second, the bond grows stronger and I can’t hold back for much longer. My wolf is howling desperately trying to get me to ask his name. I shut her out but my own curiosity got the better of me. I lean away from him to look at his face.
“Yours is Alpha leo?” I ask meekly.
He chuckles,” it’s just leo sweetie.”
He picks me up once again and sets me on the bed. I gasp at the sudden movement and my body tenses when his fingers glide over my hips. Taking a step back, He stands up and looks at me. I could see a faint smile growing in his face which made my heart flutter. I try to ignore the feeling, but it’s impossible because of this stupid mate bond.
“Now get some sleep. I’ll be in the other bedroom if you need me. Goodnight Mira..” He closes the door behind him and I listen to his steps grow fainter.
