Chapter 8- "New Friend" *Third person's point. Of view* I woke up once again to an empty bed, when I could've sworn that last night someone was in bed with me. But then again maybe it was my imagination playing tricks on me. Anyway I shook off the thought and headed to the shower, to get ready for another day at my job, and hopefully this one would end in better terms, I mean all I had to do was avoid looking out the window, and avoid the nightmare of a mate that haunts my dreams. Yeah, easy peasy. By the time I was dressed up and ready to go, I once again had 30 minutes to get to work, so I didn't waste any more time, and quickly ran off to work. When I got there, Diana was already waiting for me, she greeted me with a warm smile as she said "Good morning dear, I can't believe you made it today, you seem in a very bad state yesterday. How are you feeling? You can take the day off you know." "Good morning, no it's fine really, I was just a bit overwhelmed, that’s all." I smiled. "Well I figured, which is why I hired someone to sort out the office and take care of the paperwork. You are now my assisting nurse, and I already have a patient waiting for you." She smiled. "Sure, where?" I asked excited that I finally get in on the action again. "Third door to your right." Diana said, as she sauntered off to another patient. With a smile on my face, and a pep in my step, I made my way to my very first patient in this pack. I gave a warning knock before I opened the door to find my eyes connecting with two steel grey colored ones. He had sand blond hair, and a charming smile. "Good morning, my name is Adelina, I will be your nurse for today, may I ask what are you in for?" I greeted, as professionally as possible. "Um, good morning, name is James, and I'm in to clean up my wound and get a new dressing." He spoke with a deep voice. "Okay, well, may I ask why your wound has yet to be healed, I mean you're a werewolf." I made conversation, as I paced around from cabinet to cabinet looking for all the needed materials. "Um wolfs bane, I got shot by a bullet covered in wolfs bane. Auntie D took the bullet out, but the effect still remains, however I've been making progress, especially when I shift into my wolf, my healing accelerates." He explained. " I see, well can you take the bandages off on your own, or do you need help?" I asked after retrieving everything that I needed. "Yeah, I’m going to need help, especially taking my shirt off." He said, smirking when my jaw hit the floor. "Riiight." I said, shaking my head, and making my way to him. Not only did I get nervous being around him, things had to get worse, see I had to stand at a near proximity to take off his shirt. I mean seriously take off his shirt. I breathed in softly, my cheeks on fire, as I slowly drove the shirt up, and over his head, revealing a fit and tight body structure. I couldn't stand looking in his eyes as I backed away to retrieve the new bandages, alcohol, the tape and the disinfecting gauzes. When I made my way back to him, he still held that smirk, and I had to break the awkward silence by saying "what?" "You're her aren't you?" He stated. "That depends." I said with a raised eyebrow. "Depends on what?" He asked, still trying to catch my eyes. "Depends on which "her" you're referring to." I said, my turn to smirk. "The new "her" that just arrived, that has our alpha in a mood." He stated so bluntly. "I don't have him in a mood." I lied through my teeth, knowing that he could see perfectly through my lie, and my blushing didn't help the situation either. "Right, so why can't he focus anymore, and why does he get mad at anyone mentioning you?" He questioned. "What do you mean?" I asked, all the while focusing on taking care of his wound. "Well for one, when we practice, his mind seem to be somewhere else, before you came we couldn't even get one hit on him, now we get three to four punches in before he can even respond. He's weak, mentally and physically, like he's missing a part of himself. Plus, whenever one of the guys ask who you are, what's your name, he asks if we want you or something, it's as though he's overprotective you." James concluded. I chuckled shaking my head as I said "you have no idea," before I could catch myself. "Wait a second..." exclaimed James out of nowhere as he captured my eyes in an intense stare then he continued "You're his mate aren't you?" "Me? Pfft... NO... why would you think that?" I asked, my cheeks flaring. " Oh I don't know, maybe because his scent is all over you, and concealer never hides an Alpha's mark." Smirked James. I found myself playfully punching him as I said "you jerk! Leave me alone." He himself laughed as he said "its okay kiddo, your secret is safe with me, but come on patch me up, I have to go." "Yeah, yeah, don't call me kiddo." I said shaking my head and rolling my eyes at him. "I like you." He said after staring at me for a bit, "you remind me of the sister I never had. Hey let me get your phone number." He said. "Sure, when I'm done." I said, as I wrapped the tape around his shoulder one more time, then I backed away taking the dirty bandages, gauzes, and other materials. After making sure everything was in place, I picked my phone from my purse, and handed it over to James. I didn't mind giving him my number, I mean he seem like a cool guy, and to be honest he does feel like a brother I never had, I mean yeah I didn't know him for long, but he still carried this familiar aura around him. Anyway, after he placed his number on my phone, then took a "handsome" picture as he so put it, he handed it back to me, and got off the bed, then made his way to the door. When he got there, he turned around just as I approached him, ready to go to my next patient. And With absolutely no warning, he engulfed me in a bear hug as he said "thanks for your help kiddo." And with my tiny arms, it was impossible for me to hug him back in the same manner, and I even forgot to reprimand him about calling me kiddo. Just as he was about to pull away, the door burst open, and there stood a seething Demitrey. His angry pupils traveled back and forth between James and me, as his nostrils flared. When James finally dropped his arms, it took all my willpower not to run back to James and use his arms to shield me from the angry alpha. James lifted his hand in acknowledgment as he said "Alpha." Demitrey gazed over at James darkly as he said in a low tone "Get. Out." And James subtly said "welp, that’s my cue to go, thanks again kiddo, I'll catch you later." And he winked at me smirking, knowing exactly what he did. When he walked out, he made sure to close the door behind him, and the ruthless alpha turned back to me with an icy glare, and all I could think was... I'M SO SCREWED.
Chapter 9- "Stubborn" *Third person's pnt. Of view* Adelina stood frozen, paralyzed by the icy glare of the alpha, she couldn't move, and it was slowly becoming hard to breathe. Demitrey gazed down at the girl in front him, the one that wreaked havoc in his life without even knowing it. The minute he came in contact with her he knew she was the one... but would he succumb to his feelings? No, of course not. Not if he wanted to keep her safe. He learned from his father that being an alpha meant having no weaknesses, and SHE was his weakness. She made him feel. He was never allowed to feel, "an alpha is not supposed to feel" quoted his father. Ever since he came of age to know, he found out that his father was the leader that he was because he didn't have a mate, well he did, but after his mother gave birth to him, Demitrey learned that his father rejected her, which caused her to go mad, and end her life. Without a mate in the picture, his father ruled ruthlessly, as a pack leader and as a father. His father made sure that Demitrey grew up as cold hearted as he, he made sure that he rid himself of the thought of having a mate. His father made sure that he- "Um..." Demitrey's thoughts were suddenly cleared, and he realized that he spaced out on Adelina."M-may I help you?" Questioned Adelina faintly, and Demitrey just wanted to run over to her and wrap her in his arms. She appeared so fragile, yet he knew there was an ass kicker under those soft features on her face. Demitrey couldn't hold back, he had to hold her, at least for once, then he would back away, pretend she doesn't exist, but just once, that's all he needed. So Demitrey approached her, and she went to step back but he quickly said "don't do that, please, just don't move." He begged in a quiet and soft tone. And Adelina found herself obeying, mostly due to the surprise from the way Demitrey addressed her ever so softly. When Demitrey stood, leaving little to know space between their bodies, he cupped her face, he softly brushed the pad of his thumb on her cheek, staring deep into her eyes, and Adelina found herself leaning into his touch. He allowed the top
of his thumb to travel on her bottom lip, and Adelina absent-mindedly opened her lips in invitation. Demitrey found himself leaning into her, his eyes aimed on his target, her lips. Adelina was caught in the moment, but then his earlier actions revived in her memories, and she placed her hands on his chest to push him away. She pushed and struggled, but he wouldn’t budge, so she did the only thing possible, she slapped him. The sound echoed throughout the room, then faded, until their heavy breaths were the only sound resonating around the walls. Demitrey slowly turned his head, and stared deep in her eyes, and started to lean in again, and once again she aimed to slap him, except he caught her arm, so without thinking twice, she slapped him with her free hand, and this time Demitrey smirked, but it quickly faded when she aimed to attack him again. So Demitrey captured both her arms, and he couldn't help but softly growl as the tingles erupted throughout his body, and by the way Adelina's eyes dilated, he knew she felt it too, and he couldn't help it, he wanted to kiss her, softly, just for once, he wanted her in his arms, then he would be done. He would ignore her, just for her safety. It was as though she was a beautiful rose, and he was a deadly vine, he could spread and dominate all around her, but he would avoid taking her over, because once he did, she would be his everything, his main weakness, his main prize, she would be on his mind every second of the day, and she would be his main weak point. Others would use her to get to him, and he couldn't allow his reputation to place her life in danger, so he would enjoy this moment, because after those minutes were up, he would be as stubborn as a mule, she would be non-existent to him, and it would stay that way. So Demitrey leaned in, just as Adelina leaned back but he softly whispered "please, just this once, allow me. Please." And Adelina found herself leaning into him, she couldn't control her actions, his soft pleas, his caresses, his touch was enough for him to have her wrapped around his fingers, and so they kissed. Their lips met halfway, and they danced softly against one another, as though it was a ballad at a grand ball. Adelina wrapped her arms around his neck, as he wrapped his strong ones around her waist. He caressed her body in his warm embrace, and in one quick motion he hoisted her body unto the patient bed, and moved in between her legs, their lips not once disconnecting. He caressed her thighs through her scrubs, as he moved his lips to her neck, marking her once again, yet this time he moved softly, sweetly, and Adelina found herself leaning into him in bliss. Before she knew it, a short sound of pleasure erupted from her lips, and Demitrey froze. She was beautiful, but he couldn't go on. So he pecked her lips one more time, then he backed up. Adelina blushed, flustered due to the actions transpired between them. He couldn't help but smile at the effect he had on her, but then his smile faded, and he sighed as he said "We can't keep on doing this, you have to stay away from me. From this day on don't seek me out, don't talk to me, you are non-existent to me." Then he turned and headed for the door, not wanting to see her heartbroken face. His heart was tearing, and his wolf was stirred angry and aroused, and he was growling up a storm in the back of Demitrey's head, but he was doing it for his mate's safety... But why did it feel wrong? When his hand reached the door knob he heard a broken voice resonate from Adelina as she demanded "why don't you just reject me then?" And Demitrey froze, his anger rose, partially from his wolf, but he breathed, calm himself and said "that is out of the question." And with that he walked out. She was his mate, no one was allowed to have her, he may be keeping away from her, but that's because he didn't want to be the cause of her getting hurt, however that didn't mean that he would let her go just so someone else could have her. The moon goddess destined them as mates, they were meant for each other, and that is exactly how it was going to stay. Adelina found herself frozen on the bed, tears silently streaming down her face. Shattered, that's all she felt. She saw something in his eyes, she saw something flicker, the way he touched her, the way he spoke, how can he deny the attraction? How could he be so stubborn? Because she could've sworn, there saw something in his eyes. But maybe it was her imagination, maybe it was just her want for him to want her. Her desire to be wanted by him could've easily clouded her judgement, but lesson learned. He wanted her to stay away, then she would stay away. Adelina angrily wiped off her tears, then she jumped off the bed, and picked up her phone. She was tired of sulking. She dialed the number, and he answered after the second ring, and she couldn't help her smile as she said "Hey James, want to hang out later?" Forget you Alpha, she thought as she made plans to meet up with James.
Chapter 10- "Moving on..." *Adelina's pnt. Of view* "Good night Diana, see you on Monday!" I waved off with a smile as I made my way out of the clinic, coming in contact with James. As soon as I saw him, I ran and gave him a hug as he returned it with his usual sly smirk. "Hey there kiddo? Had fun at work?" He asked as he and I sauntered side by side, to our destination, "the castle", which is the nickname Cilia and I came up for the alpha's mansion."Yeah, I did, actually you won't believe what happened today!" I giggled over-excitedly."Umm... you found out that you're actually a boy and not a girl?" He pointed out goofily, earning a punch from me that actually caused him to wince."No you jerk." I glared at him."Are you sure? Cause your punches are deadly. I almost have to do a double take, or else I strike you back." He smirked, as my glare turned deadly."I'm positive, but anyway I got to help Diana deliver a baby today! Plus, I got paid!" I said jumping up and down like a 5 year old child on Christmas morning."Hey about that?" James said in fake marvel, and I once again found myself laying a punch on his shoulder as he chuckled. This was our usual routine, ever since that day that the pack's alpha, which I refuse to mention his name decided that I would be non-existent, James would pick me up from work, and over time we started hanging out, and we became close friends, so far he and Cilia are the only ones who know for sure that the ruthless asshole- I mean Alpha is my mate, and to be honest they have been by my side since he warned me off, and they have been an even bigger help at getting me over my attraction for the alpha. I mean my feelings are not completely gone, but I hardly reflect on them because I have those two that keep me occupied most of my days, and if they're not around Peter and Clarissa are one call away. I hardly found myself thinking of that son of a biscuit, and if my mind was to wander down that road, I quickly switched gears and start thinking of other things, and in fact that method allowed me to gain training with Cilia and James. Now, every night, the three of us trained, well James trained us, because throughout the day we each had something to do, but for 2 hours each night we trained. I found my daily routine to be quite distracting, and I couldn't be happier. I mean yeah, I know bottling up my feelings about the alpha, refusing to think of him, and avoiding him as much as he avoids me could result in consequences, but I didn't care, at least not right now, but little did I know that I would have to pay those consequences soon enough. "Hey, hey! Kiddo? You're zoning out on me, bring it back in." James firmly pressed his hands on my shoulder, a worried expression lazing on his facial features."Sorry, my mind just wandered a little." I said, an embarrassed blush creeping up on my cheeks."Oh trust me I know, I mean we've been standing in front of the castle for good minute now, but I asked you if there is anything you want to tell me, like if today is a special day...?" James said, drawling his question out slowly."Um... no?" I said, confused, I don't think I missed anything."Are you sure?" He asked slowly again, like what the heck was his problem."Um, yeah, I'm sure." I said looking at him as though he has grown two heads. James sighed and shook his head, then he gripped my hand and dragged me up the castle stairs, once we were inside, he practically hauled me up the stairs, his firm grip not loosening one bit. "Hey um James? Want to tell me what all this is about?" I questioned, as I tried to pick up to his pace."Wait and see." And that's all I received. When we finally made it up to my floor, he started heading in the direction of my room. Now to anyone who could walk upon this scene of James dragging me, it would seem like two lovers rushing to privacy just so they could get involved in a very long sexual session, like those scenes you see in a movie, we
ll at least that's what I think we looked like. And my suspicion was confirmed when one of the pack members spotted us, and blushed looking away. When we finally reached my room, I opened the door and there came a loud "SURPRISE!" causing me to shriek, and step back bumping into James."What the-" "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Came Cilia's over excited voice as she leaped out at me, embracing me in an overjoyed hug."Um... thank you." I found myself saying, tears suddenly welling up in my eyes. To be honest I was shocked, my birthday was something I only celebrated with Peter and Clarissa, and since they weren't around, I didn't think on telling anyone, I mean who was I going to celebrate it with? But then I realized, I had friends here, and it was going to be okay. "OMG! You’re 21! Can you believe it! I finally get to take you out to my favorite spot!" Exclaimed Cilia as she bounced up and down, like a kid high on sugar."Oh yeah? And where is that?" I asked, my heart finally slowing down to its usual pace."Uh huh, it's a surprise. Just get ready. I set out your outfit on your bed. James and I will come pick you up in exactly one hour." And just like that Cilia was out the door, and I was left alone, with my mouth agape. It took me a moment to gather myself, then I made my way to the big red birthday bag that occupied my bed. Inside I found a high-waist black jegging, with a white flowy and laced crop top. I looked over the outfit, trying to figure out what Cilia was planning, and then I digged further in the bag. I fished out a shoebox that held some hot red lace and peep-toed stilettoes, and under that was a bag of makeup. I smiled thinking about Cilia and trying to figure out what was up her sleeve, and with that thought in mind I stripped, took a shower and got ready. By the time my hour was up, Cilia came rushing and banging at my door, when I opened it her jaw dropped to the floor, same as James'. They looked me up and down as James wolf whistled and said "moon goddess bless me now and let her be my mate." I giggled and threw a pillow at him as I said "boy you wish." And Cilia shook her head laughing and said "alright let's go." "Where Are we going though? I don't like surprises" I said picking up my purse."The club." Cilia simply added, and turned, heading for the door."WAIT! YOU go to the club?" I questioned, my eyes bulging out of their sockets.Cilia simply turned, in her short back dress, and black heels and smiled as she said "yeah." And with that she turned and left. So once she said so, I gathered my wits, I shook off the surprise from Cilia, and I looked at myself in the mirror one more time. I looked over the top and how it flowed perfectly into my high-waisted jeggings, ending with my red stilettos. My hair was pinned back in thick brown waves, while my makeup was natural, my red lips and big eyes coming to life. I winked at myself in confidence then stepped out of my room, it was my birthday, and I was going to enjoy it, and watch out Alpha, because I'm moving on.
