Neah
His lips are rough and yet soft, but I pull away.
He looks annoyed, frustrated, maybe even angry as he studies me.
I couldn't be sure. His hands that had been clenched around my upper arms, drop as he takes a step back from me. I had rejected an Alpha and he was an Alpha who most likely had never been rejected before. What had I done?
His crimson eyes hover on my face until I lower my gaze. I felt mortified that it had even happened, it was definitely not how I expected my first kiss to go.
"You can go!" He snaps, turning away and moving to his desk.
"Go? Go where?" I whisper. Fully expecting him to throw me out of his pack.
"Out of the office!"
I pause at the door, wondering if I should apologies. Glancing back, he was focused on the paperwork. He flicks his hand at me, shooing me away.
Stepping out into the hallway, I feel my cheeks burn.
"Are you okay?" A deep curious voice asks
Looking up, I see one of the men that had come to my brother's house with Alpha Dane. The more I looked at him, the more I saw how much he looked like Raven. The same dark hair and dark eyes. "We haven't really had a chance to speak. I'm Jenson." He smiles
"Alpha Danes brother?" I whisper as he strides down the hallway towards me.
He smiles. "And I believe you have met my twin too."
"Raven?" She had just said brother, she had never mentioned that Jenson was her twin, not that it was important.
He leans against the wall next to me. "That's the one. Is everything alright? You seem a bit..... flustered."
"Just tired." I lie, I didn't know who or if I could trust anyone around here. And I definitely didn't want to spill my guts to Alpha Dane's younger brother. "And just trying to remember the way back to my room."
"I can show you." His dark eyes drift down past my face to my chest before flashing back up. I had seen that look so many times, but not here, only at home.
"You will do no such thing!" Alpha Dane snaps as he rips the office door open.
"Shouldn't you be training right about now?"
I see how Jenson frowns and holds his hands up. "Just trying to be friendly." Jenson mumbles, but he has a smirk on his face before he turns and walks away.
Alpha Danes crimson eyes settle on me, "I love my brother, but I would prefer it if you were never alone with him." His tone had changed from how it had been in his office.
I find myself staring at him, after all, he was the one who sent me away. Or was this some kind of test? My brother and Beta Kyle would like to test me now and again. I should be used to it, but I was always caught off guard. "Neah, if you have something to say, say it." Alpha Dane presses
Hold your tongue, don't say anything, it's a trick. I shake my head, keeping my eyes low.
"You're tired?" He asks, not pushing for more information.
I nod my head, it was the easiest answer.
"This way."
He walks in front of me again, leading me through the maze of hallways and up a flight of stairs before stopping in front of a familiar door.
"I shouldn't have kissed you. You were clearly taken by surprise. Although I have control, Aero has a tendency to break through now and again." He tells me as he moves into the bedroom. Who the hell is Aero?
"You were lucky I stopped him before he did anything more. While I am a little more patient. He is not."
Aero?" I mutter.
"My wolf."
Now he really made no sense. How could his wolf be someone completely different?
"Trey's wolf had a name too, right?" He mutters as he enters the bedroom
"No." I find myself frowning in confusion, as I try to make sense of his words. "He never mentioned it..... ever."
Alpha Dane's crimson eyes lock on mine. He thought I was lying, I could feel it by the way he looked at me. I really wanted to look away but found that I couldn't break the gaze. Almost as if he was forcing me to look at him without even touching me. Could Alpha's do that or was it just him?
My voice drops to barely a whisper. "I swear." I didn't know what else I could say. "I'm.... I'm telling the truth." I stutter as he continues to stare into my eyes.
Okay." He mutters, yet it felt like he didn't believe me.
"And I guess, because of your binding, you never got to meet your Wolf?"
I shake my head. "They come when we are thirteen. I know that much."
He frowns but doesn't speak. As he breaks his gaze and looks away, my body finally relaxes, only to be met with searing pain, radiating from my stomach.
Ignoring it, I stay still, watching Alpha Dane move around the bedroom. It looked as if he was having a conversation with someone. Maybe this Aero?
I had so many questions.
Did this Aero live inside of him?
What happens when he shifts?
He mentioned control.
Did Aero have full control when he shifted?
As far as I was aware, anyone that could shift, just shifted.
They didn't become someone else. As Alpha Dane continued to move in a figure of eight in the bedroom. I press my hand against my stomach. And even through the fabric of my top, my skin feels like it's on fire.
I feel my own heart running rampant in my chest, just like when I left Moonshine for the first time. My hands feel clammy and my mouth is dry. I reach out to grab the bedpost, to steady myself and stop my legs buckling underneath me.
"It hurts." I mutter as the pain radiates through me.
"Neah?" He spins around to look at me and I let my legs give way.
He catches me before I hit the floor, concern etched all over his face as he pulls up my top.
"Shit!"
I had never felt pain like it. All the beatings, all the punishments, this was nothing in comparison.
Alpha Dane lifts me from the floor, holding an arm under my knees and under my back as he raced me though the house and out into the cool evening air.
His feet pound the ground as he moves quickly. He slams his back against the door to the pack hospital, almost taking it off of its hinges as he forces us through.
"It's not what we first thought." He shouts out to Raven as he lowers me onto a bed. "You need to look at this!"
He tugs up my top, ignoring me squirming in pain and then tries to hold me down so Raven could get a better look.
He cups my face with one large hand. "Look at me Neah, look at me and breathe."
Everything burned, my entire body felt like it was tearing itself apart.
"Is this what I think it is?" Raven questions
"Yes." Alpha Dane mutters as he holds my shoulders down.
"I'm sorry Neah. This is going to hurt." Raven calls out.
"I can help." Another man speaks as another wave of pain shoots through me.
"Hold her legs." Alpha Dane instructs.
I feel something hot and sharp press into my stomach. I let out a scream as I thrash against the men holding me down. They were going to kill me Moments before I pass out from the pain, I hear Alpha Dane say. "A fucking blood tie."
