Aurora's pov)
"Hi," The red haired girl from last night mumbles out awkwardly as she enters the room and spots me on the bed
I was awake already. In fact, I hadn't slept properly. It wasn't because of the rope around my wrists Alpha Xavier hadn't made it tight and uncomfortable.
It was just that, my mind was clogged up with restless thoughts of the intimidating Alpha One moment he was seeming to be sweet, totally opposite of the rumors. But then he'd show me the untrustworthy beast he truly was
But even his beast side, I was sadly fawning over.
The girl hadn't done anything to me, so I answered "Hi,"
Well, this is awkward.
The girl looked shy as she walks over to me, almost cautiously. "Alpha Xavier said to free you -
Was he going to let me go freely?
A smile nearly lit my face before it vanishes. Why did I not like the fact that I was leaving him? "From your binds." She finishes, her thin fingers reaching out to softly pull at the ropes around my wrists. oh.
Just to free me of the ropes.
I looked at the girl. She looked fairly young, around my age." Why didn't he come to do it himself"
I wanted to bite off my tongue for ever speaking. I didn't want the girl to think that I fancied her Alpha or think something else that was more atrocious.
I felt heat crawl to my cheeks as she answered blankly. " Alpha Xavier is in an important meeting He will not come to do such a foolish thing for a mere girl." 1
Her words stung, a lot. A mere girl.
But she was right. She really was.
I blinked away the shame in my eyes as she removes the ropes. "You're right. It was a stupid question" I murmured in humiliation as I rubbed my wrists where the rope was.
It wasn't red or achy, it was more so I was doing it subconsciously.
The girl looks down at me, her stare turning to one of pity. I flinched. I hated that stare. "It's fine Every female who's ever laid their eyes on our Alpha can't resist huis handsome features." My eyes widen when I caught the meaning of her words. Did she really think I fancied her Alpha?
"No no it's not like that. I was just asking a question to make conversation with you. I'm not good with starting a conversation." I confessed. Maybe that's why it was so hard to make Trends back at the Crystal River pack. But then again, no one wanted to be my friend except for Cas.
The girl looked at me blankly as if unsure if I was telling the truth or not She nods almost reluctantly bclore speaking "I'm Josie, one of the maids here."
Rubbing my wrists still, 1 sat up on the bed. My actions had her taking a step back as if afraid o Ime I frown. Did I look like a threat to licr? Yes, my features were rare but I didn't look evil. Or did I?
Smiling shakily, 1 murmured "I'm Aurora," I held out my hand and she looks at it skeptically, I looked down at my hand frowning, Did she not want to take it because it was the hand that had the healing balm on it?
Tucking the hand away, I stretched out the other but she still doesn't take it. Awkwardly retracting it back to my side, I stay muted. She looks down at me, her eyes scanning my Icatures
"What are you?" Her words were not supposed to shock me but they did. I stay muted for a little while, looking at her lost.
I've heard that question many times before. But still didn't know the right answer I should give.
"I don't know," I murmured as her features twitches in accusation. But as my words settled in her ear, her face morphs into one of disbelief.
"I will have someone bring your breakfast. Apparently Alpha wants to make sure you eat. I don't see why he's being weirdly kind to you even though you're a threat,"
Her words made me flinch and pain jabs into my chest." I'm not a threat She rolls her eyes. "That's what they all say," Shaking her head she turns around to leave
"Don't leave this room ugly." Her harsh words made me blink back tears as I lift my fingers to touch my cheek. Ugly. The door bangs behind her and her fleeting footsteps made me wish it was me walking away and getting out of here.
She was right. I was a threat. As long as blood runs through my veins, I would always be a threat to the entire werewolf community.
: Xavier's pov
Go to mate now. I want to taste her again.' Reckon snarls. He was starving, but not for blood like his usual, he was starving for her, 'We're in the middle of a sucking meeting Reckon.'I blasted annoyed that he was showing me images of a naked Aurora. My cock throbbed
Aurora was taming the craving blood lust of Reckon but now he was craving for something more. Something only she can give. And I'd be a fool to not admit that I was craving her too. An image of her glistening pussy creeps into my head and I groan. Shit I'm getting a hard on in the middle of a meeting,
Calm down Reckon, we will go to her when this is over. We have to check up on hier anyway: 1 hissed at him while taping my fingers on the oak desk
"Alpha, the girl can't be trusted No matter how innocent she looks, something about her rubs me the wrong way." Samuel paced the room. At any moment now he'd definitely make a print from how much pacing he has done
Rubbing him the wrong way! Kill him! kill him now for even saying something like that about her Reckon roared and I winced, trying my best to ignore him
"I've told you Samuel, I'm leaving her here for further questioning We can't have a girl looking like her just slip through our lingers without knowing what she is and what potential she has "I grunt. When can they leave so I can go to her?
This wasn't Reckon's thoughts but my own, which consused me.
"Samuel is right Alpha She looks suspicious and when we caught her, it was like she was running away from something. "Chris added
"She can't be trusted. She's a threat to us all by being here." Beta Samuel spoke up and I wish he hadn't
While the two voiced out their hatred for Aurora Elichose to stay mute.
'Spill their blood for accusing her. Murder them. We'll get better warriors.' Reckon snarled
He wasn't making this easy as he filled my head with thoughts of murder I needed to get out o flere before I paint the walls with the blood of my Beta and my two Gammas
I could feel my canines extend as Reckon forces me to accept that I wanted to wash my hands with their blood. Noticing my mood, all shisted on their feet nervously and neither spoke They knew what happens when Reckon takes over.
"This meeting is over The girl stays here until i fish out what I'm looking for from her" With that, I rise to my feet, my vision already going red as I marched across the floor towards the door One second staying here and i'll kill them
I needed to go to Aurora
She's the only one that can calm Reckon down for me to be able to control him. If not, he'll surely kill someone today.
My long strides drove me towards her door. I needed to taste her right now.
