Home

I sat quietly in the car the whole way back to somewhere he was taking me, the dinner was insightful and overwhelming, We didn't talk much, well I kept mum while inhaling the food, and dashed out of there as soon as possible.

"See you this weekend," he said driving to the driveway in front of my apartment building.

I rip the seatbelt apart and slam the door on my way out, I give him a finger before disappearing behind the lobby doors. I sigh deeply when I close the door to my apartment and lean on it.

"I was beginning to think you ran off into the sunset, but guess not," Josh startled me, he was sitting on the sofa in complete darkness depicting a ghost I suppose.

I roll my eyes at him and walk towards the sofa and fall tiredly on it like a lump. "Alejandro kidnapped me," I mumble into the cushion groaning in frustration

He pats me on the back "Yeah, I can smell his dominant smell all over you, did you even realize?" he asked me in an amused tone, I raised my head to look at him "You seriously didn't realize he scent marked you?" he asked bursting out laughing, I raise my arm to smell myself and my mood soured some more

"It's ok, let's go pack for the weekend, " he leaves the room laughing, I throw a pillow at him

"I can't wait to see you with your second chance Mate, I wish you get worst than mine," I curse at him and laid back down on the sofa. saying something this harsh didn't feel right but he knew that I was kidding, he knew I wanted the best for him, it felt good to tease him back tough, I get it now, why he enjoys it so much.

The days went by faster than we anticipated and I find myself packed and traveling to my hometown. I sigh holding my bag and looking at the familiar building that once had been my home.

I walk up the stairs and rang the doorbell, the door opened faster than a lightning bolt, and my mother standing on the other end, an unbelievable look on her face, I smile at her and hug her tightly hoisting her up in the air, she squeaked happily hitting my shoulders yelling to put her back down.

I place her back on the ground, she holds me closer to her and examines me for anything out of ordinary.

"Mom, I'm fine, where is dad?" I move inside the living room throwing my bag next to the couch.

"He is making rounds at the training grounds, he will be back for lunch," she said while walking into the kitchen, the smell of a home-cooked meal fills my nostrils, the euphoric feeling blazing through me leaving me in paradise.

Dad joins us during lunch, to say he was surprised to see me was an understatement, his bear hug almost broke my back in two. After being apart from my family, I finally realized how important it is to have someone waiting for you, home, I have finally understood the word, home isn't a place but a feeling.

"How long are you staying?" Dad asked while having his food.

I swallow my lasagna before replying "I will have to leave on Tuesday, the trip lasts three days," my parents share a look of nervousness, and I shake my head at them "You don't have to worry about it, I'm not going, I know everything about it already, I'll just draft up a paper of the place and its history, with my experience," I explained then dug into my food

The uneasiness wasn't all gone but the vigor of it decreased to a minimum.

I spend the entire day wandering around the packhouse, looking over the recent training schedule, and helping little pups transform into their wolf for the first time, after spending time with them I felt I had never left the one year I spend in college disappeared like it never happened.

I went to bed with a huge smile on my face, my cheeks hurt after laughing all day. I snooze off into the dream world snuggling in my duvet.

The air around me turned colder than it did in winters, and the temperature dropped suddenly, I opened my eyes freaking out, I sat up straight and looked around my room, the room was too dark but I could feel the puffs of my warm breath. the strong wind slammed the window open of my room.

I stood up from my bed and went to turn on the lights, there was an electric heater somewhere in the room, half-asleep in the middle of the night it took me a couple of minutes to realize it was spring season and it was impossible for the temperature to drop at this extent.

As I switched the lights on, I jump in my place when the figure inside the room made its presence known, he was casually leaning on my study table looking at my stuff like a detective in the movies.

I cross my arms "What the hell are you doing here?" how did you get in here? was a bad question for a werewolf so I skipped to the next part.

He picked up the rock that he left for me a long time ago, which I now use as a paperweight. he held it in his palm and looked at it curiously. "You weren't at the castle today, why?" he asked not taking his eyes off of the fucking rock.

I shrug " I had other priorities, now, please get out I have important things to take care of tomorrow, I need my sleep," I told him.

He placed the rock back in its place and finally looked at me, he looked great in all black clothes, jeans, shirt, and leather jacket along with his shoes everything was black. he stares at me with his grey eyes, analyzing me, my pajama was an old pair of shorts and a shirt. my hair must be a disaster along with my droopy eyes.

"Grab your things, you will stay at the castle with me," he ordered looking around my room with interest.

I raise an eyebrow in disbelief, "No," his face snapped in my direction frowning.

"No?" he asked as the foreign word confused him.

"No, I'm staying here, " I stood my ground not breaking eye contact, he strode towards me furiously. he stood right in front of my face and punched the wall beside me. I don't flinch because I figured he would do that. he does that a lot.

He pushed his body on mine with force, cornering me, and growled in my face, his eyes turning black but with a tint of red "Stop Challenging me," he growled punching the wall again.

I looked him in his eyes contesting his stare, "then stop ordering me," I speak up.

He grabbed my collar and pulled me closer "I will break your pride, I will make you surrender," he growled again and put off nowhere he grabbed my butt and lifted me in the air, he placed himself in between my legs and pushed me back on the wall, grinding on me.

I let out a shocked sigh when the vibration between us returned tenfolds. He grabbed my hair and pulled my head to the side revealing my neck. I don't know why he growled again but this time it felt he did it out of anger.

I snapped out of it and pushed him off of me and get back on my feet, "Stop it, I'm not your back up, you rejected me and I have made peace with it, your free to do whatever you want and so am I, just go, get out and don't ever come back," I growled furiously at him, my eyes flashing yellow as my wolf was at the edge, he growled deeply the growl would have scared off any Alpha away but it was not strong enough to ward him off.

The presence of my wolf might have triggered him in some way because the next thing I know, my back is on the bed and he is hovering over me. he sniffed my body and licked the nape of my neck and whimpered pitifully.

"Mate," He whimpered, his demeanor changed completely, he raised his head to look at me and all my anger vanished, the complete back eyes stare back at me. they glisten with unshed tears, he nudged his nice with mine "Mate," He kissed my lips unsure. it was his beast, he took over Alejandro's body and was trying to reunite with my wolf, I felt sorry for our wolves, they didn't deserve this.

the pureness of the moment got to me and I gave in, kissing him back, moving my lips with his, I closed my eyes and moved my fingers through his hair, the sudden jerk of my body made me open my eyes but I wasn't in my room anymore, I wasn't in my bed and Alejandro was nowhere in sight.

there was complete darkness in the room, not a single thing in the scene, there was a sound of heaving and whimpering far away in the place and the sound intensified as I kept moving towards it unconsciously. I keep walking towards the sound, the lights flipped on in a corner and the thing under it shook to the core

Alejandro was bound to the chair, he was badly beaten and blood seeped out of his wounds, I run to him but something stopped me, I struggled to try to break out of it but nothing. Footsteps echoed in the quiet place and someone walked behind Alejandro and kept walking towards him until he too was under the bulb. Blood drained out of my system when I finally see his face.

It was Alejandro but there was something different about him, but his eyes, his eyes were red, completely red, and the menace on his face deepen when he smirked at me and pulled out a small dagger

"No," I scream but he smirked at me before stabbing him in the neck.

"No!" I scream sitting up on my bed, tears stream down my face, and I look around myself and find Alejandro sitting in a corner holding his knees closer to himself.

I walk to him and sat down facing him, he raised his head, and his eyes were still black, he whimpered again. I held his face with my hands

"What the hell happened to you,"
