Chapter 10

CHAPTER 10
A snarl came from the bottom of the stairs and I felt genuine fear creep within me. I looked to Kurt for a means of explanation. But instead he was quiet.

"Wait here," he whispered to me, as he left and slowly walked down the stairs. He slowly shifted into a wolf, since he was the Alpha changing into his wolf form don't require his bones being broken.

I watched as he made sure that he didn't make a single noise while descending down the stairs. I didn't know what exactly was down there, but it was most definitely not something that could be killed easily.

I could hear Kurt finally reaching down the stairs, emitting a small growl from the back of his throat. Then suddenly there was a much louder growl, and then there was loud crashes coming from downstairs.

I push myself against the railing of the stairs hoping to disappear into it, the noise was much and i just hoped that Kurt wouldn't get injured. There was so much commotion that I used my hand to cover my ears, while kneeling down on steps.

Then there was silence, the fighting had stopped, I removed my hands from ears. I didn't want to go down the stairs with fear that whatever that tried attacking us might have won instead of Kurt.

But I had no choice, I walked down the stairs slowly, trying my best not to make noise. When I got to the bottom of the stairs, I saw Kurt standing above someone.

He was bloodied with injuries over his back, that was healing due to his fast regenerative healing abilities.

I came closer, and I think he heard me approach him cause he turned around and set his gaze on me, the look on his face a one of sadness.

He fell to his knees, tears streaming down his eyes. I stood awkwardly not knowing what to do in this situation as I have never seen anyone actually cried in front of me before. Not even Dennis.

My hands held the hem of my shorts, looking at Kurt as he kept on crying. Maybe my presence was all he needed and not someone to console him.

He stood up, with his eyes red and his cheeks stained with tears on them. He cleaned off the tears with his hands, sniffling he walked past me heading to the stairs.

I watched as he returned to his room, I turn to look at the person that almost attacked us, he lay there dead with a huge gash on his chest, his blood slipping on to the tiled floor, changing the color from white to red.

It then occured to me that this was my first time seeing a dead body, and I didn't feel anything.

****
Days passed since the attack happened, and ever since then Kurt had turn back to being a complete douchebag to me. He gave me more unnecessary work that his countless of maids could do, the only thing that made me enjoy this thing a little bit was the fact that Marge was still being a sweetheart to me.

I just realized that I barely go outside to anymore, not like I had anybody to hang out with if I go outside. And besides I was done with my work, and Kurt never put any form of restriction on my movement.

I headed towards the direction of the gate, only to be stopped by security. They were new security due to the last ones being dead thanks to the rogue that attacked last time.

I kind of find it weird how easy it was for them to find replacements so quickly. Maybe it's not the first time that the Alpha was being attacked by rogues, so to everyone here it was like a normal Tuesday to them.

I greeted them, and they just nodded their heads at me and went back to talking amongst themselves. As I went outside I inhaled and exhaled, taking in the smell of fresh air that I haven't enjoyed in a while, instead of the usual stale air that resides in the mansion.

There was a stream that was at the opposite side of the mansion, I walked towards there taking my sit and admiring the beauty of the water. A wind blew and the flowers danced along to the rhythm to the direction of the wind.

Suddenly as if as a distant foggy memory it came to me. A memory of when I was much younger dancing and playing with my parents. I rarely ever think about my parents, but for some reason sitting by the stream side made me think about them.

A tear roll down my eye, I quickly cleaned it. They don't deserve my tears, none of it. I looked on to the water. It looked peaceful. I wished to be peaceful like that.

I heard a twig snap behind me, which alerted me with my shoulders tensed I turn my head around, only to see Dennis.

I smiled at him, I motioned for him to come closer which he did. Taking a sit next to me.

"Dennis, it's been a while." I started. "Why were you cold to me, when I came to visit you before?"

Dennis didn't answer. It looked like he was weighing his words trying to see which one would sound better, which was unlike the Dennis that I know before who would instantly answer me without thinking.

"Life," he finally said. "You know with me being instantly pulled into the life of marriage makes you consider if it's really worth."

"But you aren't married yet. You and your mate are just cohabiting till you too turn twenty five."

"You know for someone that don't care about this whole Mate Picking thing, you sure know a lot."

"Against my will that is." All the knowledge I know is thanks to Marge dumping them on me without Mr asking.

"So how is your life going with Kurt?" He asked.

I wanted to tell him how much has been treating like crap, he has been distant with me emotionally for a long time now. But instead I went against it and just shrugged my shoulders. "Its ok. What about you?"

"Same." He said, which prompted a chuckle from me. Yeah we are both not enjoying our mating life with our assigned mates.

Dennis stood up dusting the back of his trousers. "Anyways I need to go back to my place. Penelope would blow a casket if I don't come back as quick as possible."

I felt sad cause I wanted to talk to him more, but I can't keep him away from his mate.

"Ok, see you later Dennis." With that Dennis walked away from me and I watched him go untill he disappear from my sight.

I look back to the stream, the memory of my parents coming back and me trying to push it back. They don't deserve me thinking about them.
