“Alpha, please can’t we stay here in the Pack house?” Asks the blonde who was so desperate for my spot on the sofa.
“Sorry….” Alpha Fraction pauses for her name.
“Lisa, Alpha” Lisa declares proudly
“Sorry Lisa, but the Pack house is reserved for my men and immediate family only. This allows my Warriors to sleep in relative peace. You will be plenty safe within the town,” Alpha Fraction seems ready to dismiss us.
As I sit waiting for my name to be called I watch Alpha Fraction and Patrick have a whispered conversation. Patrick’s eye kept coming to me and shooting back to Alpha Fraction. ‘Clearly we are the topic of conversation here’ snarks my inner voice. Alpha Fraction leaves the lounge without so much as a goodbye. I guess he forgot I wasn’t to be sent to the houses. within the town.
By now I have become bored and hungry, my stomach is reminding me it’s been almost twenty four hours since I’ve eaten anything. Yes I could have eaten at the fuel stops but I was too nervous. As the last three females follow the last Warrior out, a tall dark haired man enters the lounge. As he kneels down in front of me I notice he has the most striking green eyes, exactly the same as Patrick, maybe the Head Warriors brother.
When he speaks it’s with a subtle Irish twang “Hi I’m James, I’m the Beta of Swiftmane Pack. If you wouldn’t mind, the Alpha would like to see you in his office.” Everything he says is completely reasonable but I am instantly on edge. Alone. With the Alpha? ‘Oh hell no, run. Run now!’ demanded my inner voice.
I look at the floor and don’t move nor answer the Beta. I am shaking with fear with what is about to happen.
“How about we show the young lady to the facilities and she can clean up before seeing the Alpha, they have had a long journey.” Interrupts an older woman. She has the same hair colour as Alpha Fraction and a kind smile. When she turns her eyes to me I instantly shot my eyes back to my hands, “I’m sure Henry won’t mind waiting a few minutes.” I don’t know who Henry is or who this lady is but I silently thank her as she’s just given me a chance to escape.
James leads me through the house and to a bathroom on the second floor. I keep my eyes trained on the floor the whole time so I don’t get much of a look around although the smell of food is getting stronger and stronger. Once inside the bathroom I lock the door and spin around looking for an escape. There are three sinks, three stalls and some hand towels. For a bathroom it’s pretty nice but it’s nothing flashy. Kind of what you would expect from a communal bathroom. I immediately rush to the window and try to open it. I spend some time trying to pry the window up, I don’t really want to break the glass as knowing my luck I will cut myself. I hear a strong and authoritative knock from the main bathroom door, I look around knowing my time has been cut short.
“Little wolf, that window will not open and by staying in there you are preventing anyone else from using the room.” Alpha Fraction declares from the other side of the door. He doesn’t sound mad, just tired.
I open the door keeping my eyes trained on the floor and mutter “Sorry Alpha ” my voice comes out soft and very low.
“So you do speak. Well then, follow me, little wolf.” Alpha Fraction starts heading towards a set of double doors at the end of the hall. Of course the bathroom I was taken to would be on the same floor of his office. He probably heard me with his crazy wolf hearing.
Upon entering his office the first thing I notice is that it’s very light. There are no windows here but there is a lamp on nearly every surface. The walls are a deep red, almost wine red. The carpet is a dark grey, if it wasn’t for the lamps I would think it was black. Alpha Fraction sits behind a desk that is very large and in the centre of the room. He points to a chair on the other side of the desk and I take this to mean I am to take a seat. As I do, I realise the leather on this sofa is soft. Kind of like butter, I kind of expected this sofa to be hard and uncomfortable. There is a soft knock on the door and then a small female enters the room. She is carrying a try loaded with food and drinks. She places the tray on the small coffee table and turns to the Alpha.
“Is there anything else you would like, Alpha?” Her voice is clear and strong, not a drop of fear in her.
“No, that’s everything Eve. Please pass my thanks to your mother,” Alpha Fraction dismisses her. She quietly leaves the room just as quickly as she entered.
“Eat little wolf, I have some tasks to sort then we can discuss your living arrangements.” Alpha Fraction points to the food with one hand and picks up his phone with the other.
As he starts talking to people on his phone I slowly start pulling apart a blueberry muffin, I am taking small bites. My stomach can’t handle much food, the joys of having to live on very little food all your life. I am also conscious of when the stomach punching starts. I really don’t want to have to clean the vomit up afterwards. Little fact; you punch someone in the stomach hard enough and everything in their stomach will be on the floor in no time. After I have had my fill I sit and stare at my hands clasped before me.
“All done, little wolf?” Alpha Fraction comes over to join me at the coffee table. He sits across from me eating a bacon sandwich and drinking a black coffee, I offer a simple nod.
With a small sigh Alpha Fraction continues “Ok so as I said you will be here within the Pack house. I have arranged for a room to be made up next to myself and my Beta. I didn’t think you would appreciate being on the floor with my Warriors and putting you with my Mother is not something I would wish on anyone,” he chuckles to himself like he has a secret joke. “Your room will be yours, you can come and go as you please. I do ask that you let someone know if you are going to venture outside. Although the Pack land is safe I don’t want your running around alone.” Again I nod at the Alpha.
A room? An actual bedroom…for me. All to myself. I can’t believe it. I’ve never had such luxury. I’m in such shock I will have my own room. I haven’t fully registered that I will be between two strong males and one of them being the Alpha himself.
(Fraction)
I’m exhausted. I can’t remember ever being this tired. God damn the Mountain Pack. When we heard of the stories coming out of there it shocked packs up and down the country. It wasn’t until we started scouting their land that we found the not too well–hidden bodies.
Twelve dead Omegas, what a waste. Omegas are special; they have a power about them that just helps glue packs together. They should be treasured, not thrown away like roadkill. I am starting to feel angry about it all over again. I call Eve and have her drop the little wolf off at her room. Shes so small and frail I make a note to speak to mother about getting some food into her, maybe a doctor’s visit too. I hadn’t missed the marks on her face and neither had anyone else who had seen her. Sure, she has her head down most of the time but even a blind man can see when a woman is in pain. Even a little woman.
‘I have the information you wanted Alpha‘ James my Beta sounds across our mind link
‘Great, I’m in my office. Bring coffee.‘ I respond as I close my eyes and lean back in my chair. 30 second power nap it is.
Less than two minutes later my Beta is walking into my office and bringing with him the smell of a dark Columbian Roast, I have to admit the man knows what I like. It’s in a massive mug so he must have a lot of information for me. He offers me the cup and takes a seat cross from me.
“Alright let’s have it” I say with a sigh as I take a deep drink of my coffee, I close my eyes for a second, nectar of the Goddess I swear.
James just stares at me for a second, he seems to almost shake himself and starts, “Alright so all the girls are settled. One named Alice and another named,” he checks his ever- present notepad “Lisa, did not seem happy with their accommodation. Both seem very, erm, spoiled if you ask me.” James seems annoyed and he doesn’t get annoyed easily.
