“He won’t bite love; he is alright once you get to know him.”
“That’s because you haven’t been bitten by him.” I could hear everyone chuckle.My hand reflexively went to my mark where he decided to take a bite last night.Who is she kidding?I have every right to fear him.He hates me and my kind.
“I don’t hate you, don’t think that.”
“Will you stop doing that?It’s an invasion of privacy,” I said, gritting my teeth.Grabbing my coffee, I went and sat next to Lily, drinking it slowly.
“So, how many Pack members live here?” I asked.
“Only us, the rest have their own places.It would cause too many fights having everyone under one roof, and Pack warriors love to fight,” Christine said, speaking up for the first time since I walked in.Made sense, Pack warriors are hunters and loved fighting, so I would assume amongst themselves too.
Looking around the room, I noticed the Alpha leaning casually on the counter staring at me, his dark eyes burning into me with a look on his face I couldn’t decipher.Looking back at Lily, she had finished eating.
“Can we stay here now, Ari?” she asked excitedly.Before I could answer, the Alpha was standing directly behind me.
“Your home is here now, you aren’t going anywhere,” he said, placing a hand on my shoulder.His touch sent sparks flying down my shoulder to my core, desire coursing through my body.I pressed my thighs together, trying to stop the ache between my legs.Looking up, the Alpha was looking down at me with a sly smirk on his face over the effect he was having just by touching me.
My face instantly heated up.He chuckled softly before removing his hand and walking back to the counter.When I looked around, I found everyone was staring at me smiling, like they were in on some joke I was unaware of.Wendy broke the awkward silence.
“Zane reckons Alpha has no effect on you.Alpha wanted to prove him wrong.” If looks could kill, he would be dead ten times over with the daggers I was throwing his way.
When Lily walked out, I was quick to follow, pulling her to the side.
“Lily, where is our bag?”
She looked nervous, looking down before answering.“Alpha Reid took it; I think he took it in his room.He had it when he was carrying you,” she said, still looking at her purple socks.Looking over at her clothes, I noticed she was in brand new ones.She had on black tights and a pink unicorn shirt that matched her bedspread.
“Okay, I will try to find it.Stay with Amber.”
Lily nodded before running over to play with Amber in the games room.Walking back up the stairs, I quickly ran back to the Alpha’s bedroom, looking in all the drawers before going into his walk-in closet and rummaging around trying to find my duffle bag.I knew if I didn’t find it soon, we would have problems.Ever since the night I came here and they fed me blood, I have started craving it more and more, not just when I’m injured or angry.The thirst is now always there waiting for a reason to take over.
Realising it’s not in the bedroom, I make my way down to his office which I know is the one with the new desk simply because it’s the biggest.It was nearly as big as his room, plus it was kind of in the middle of the house.Feeling relieved when I opened the door to see he wasn’t in there, I made my way over to the bookshelves which had filing cupboards underneath and started opening them.
When I opened the third drawer, I found the bag.I opened it, noticing it felt lighter.My stomach dropped when I realised the bag only had my work uniform and my wallet.Standing up, my back was turned to the door, so I hadn’t realised the Alpha had walked in and was now sitting behind his desk watching me.Shit, where did he put them?I couldn’t find them anywhere.
“Looking for these?” His voice was low, making me jump.Turning around, he was sitting at his desk holding up a jar full of syringes.Relieved, I went to grab them, but he pulled them away at the last second.
“I need those, please,” I begged.
“Why?” not willing to answer.I tried to snatch them from him, but he was quicker, moving them out of reach again.
When I went to grab them a third time, I noticed one of the bottles of wolfsbane at the end of his desk.Quickly snatching it off his table, I walked out and slammed the door.
Chapter 15
Reid’s POV
Watching her leave andslamming the door behind her, I wanted to chase her down and force her to tell me what she wanted the wolfsbane for.It was unusual for a wolf to want it.Was it for protection?Does she feel safer knowing she has it on her?Lily refused to tell me when I asked why Aria smelt of it at the diner and why Aria had so much in her system when we found them.The only thing Lily said was that they used it against the Alpha when they escaped.I’m assuming her old Alpha forced her to drink it as punishment, knowing it wouldn’t kill her.I just didn’t understand why they would have so much in the bag.Just as I was about to follow her, the door opened, making me come to a stop.It was Doc.She walked in holding a bunch of paperwork.
“You are going to want to take your seat, Alpha.I have some surprising news for you.”
Walking back over to my desk, I sat down waiting for her to explain what the hell she was talking about.Mavis sat down before pushing the papers in front of me.
“What is it?” I asked, confused.The documents looked like blood work documents.
“When Aria came in here, we took some vials of her blood.Out of curiosity I had her DNA tested because even for a Hybrid she had ingested way too much wolfsbane.Enough to even kill a Hybrid.”
“What are you getting at?I don’t understand.” Looking at the papers, they were just numbers on a page to me.I could never understand all this medical gibberish.
