“Maybe you shouldn’t judge before you get to know him, you hate the rumours made up of us, yet you believe the rumours of him” Layla chimed in.
“Yes, but for the most part the rumours about us are true” I chuckled to her. I heard her laugh before she shook her head and retreated.
A few of the adults stuck around while the kids all ran to the park across the road. A man around my age walked over to the Alpha’s boot, opening it. He went to grab my bags and I stopped him.
“It’s fine, I can get them” He shook his head before smiling at me.
“No Luna, I don’t mind,” He said, grabbing a suitcase out. I grabbed the other one before Alpha Damien pulled it from my grasp.
“It’s okay Max, I can take them in. Can you put my car away, keys should be in it” The Alpha told him, grabbing the other bag from him? The man Max nodded his head before walking over and getting in the car. I watched Max drive off, before I heard Alpha's voice.
“Lily come, now” His voice was strong and full of authority, making me scramble after him.
Stepping inside the enormous mansion, I was shocked to find that it didn’t look like some bachelor pad. Everything is in pristine condition much like the town. Not a thing out of place. I could feel Layla watching through my eyes and for once, I didn’t shove her back letting her see what I saw. Everything was so white, white marble floors, white walls, white curtains on either side of the doors. Everywhere I looked it was white. The ceiling was so high, not even with a ladder would you reach it. Giant skylights directly above us brightened the room. A huge white marble staircase ran up the centre of the house. The place had no clutter and no personality. No pictures on the walls, no plants, nothing decorative at all.
“Geez, is he a germaphobe?” Layla asked. Making me laugh, not realising I also laughed out loud. Alpha Damien stopped, making me run straight into his back. He turned around, dropping my bags, folding his arms across his chest and looking down at me. I wanted to shrink under his intense gaze.
“What’s so funny?” He said, his eyes daring me to lie to him. I swallowed, not liking the way he was looking at me.
“Shit, now you did it.” Layla said to me.
“You said it not me, now I’m the one in trouble” I told her, making her snicker. I rolled my eyes at her. Only to anger the Alpha more. Damn, I really need to make sure I watch my reactions when talking to her. Just strange because the last few weeks she has been more talkative, and I am not used to it.
The Alpha growled . And I realised what I did wrong. He assumed I rolled my eyes at what he said.
“I wasn’t rolling my eyes at you, Layla said something is all” I quickly explained. The Alpha seemed to search my face for a few seconds.
“Well, what did she say then?” He asked, I gulped, stepping back as he moved even closer. So close I could feel the heat from his body seeping into me.
I opened my mouth before closing it. Not wanting to be rude. I was already in enough trouble with the entire Brent incident.
“Well, are you going to answer, I haven’t got all day Lily, so spit it out” He growled annoyed.
“She asked if you were a germaphobe. Okay, that is all” I said, looking away embarrassed. He turned around walking toward the staircase, I let out the breath I had been holding.
“I’m not a germaphobe. I just believe if everything has a place, there is no reason for it to be out of place” He told me, not adding anything else, leaving me to ponder over his words. Where do I fit then, because this isn’t exactly a place I would call home?
Why do I have a feeling living here was going to be a nightmare? He walked up the stairs, and I followed behind him, notknowing where to go. When we reached the top, he turned towards the right, following the hallway down to the end before opening the double doors. I looked in the other direction only to be met with a steel door halfway down the corridor, blocking off that end of the house.
“Lily” He yelled out, making me run in the direction he went.
This house was huge yet had nothing that would resemble actual people living here, it looked more like a show home than somewhere people would live. Everything in light tones showing just how clean it is. Light filtering in from the sunlights made the place look even bigger under the natural light. Walking through the beige double doors, I find it’s a bedroom. A king-size four-poster bed set in the middle of the room and a walk-in closet with a bathroom on the side. Huge bay windows sat looking over the town with thick, heavy looking drapes to block out the light.
Alpha Damien walked into the closet. I followed in after him and gasped at what I saw. Everything was colour coordinated and labelled. Talk about control freak. Who the hell colour coordinates their clothes. I was more of a jam them in the draw type of a girl or leave them in the basket and dig through it, type of person. Here everything was folded and ironed, it looked daunting. I also noticed he was making me stay in his room. Which didn’t sit well with me? How the hell was I going to get any sleep surrounded by his scent.
“Isn’t there another room I can stay in?”
“You’re staying here, where I can keep an eye on you” He growled, turning to me.
“I won’t run off. Where the hell would I run to? This place is locked down like Fort Knox.” I growled out, putting my hands on my hips. I turned to walk out when his hand grabbed the back of my pants, pulling me back to him. My back pressed against his chest, his breath on my neck made me shiver.
“You will learn to hold your tongue around me, Lily. I haven’t forgotten what you did earlier, so don’t talk back. You will learn one way or another” His husky voice whispered in my ear.
“Damn girl he can whisper sweet nothings all he wants as long as he uses that voice” Layla purred.
“Shut up before you get me in more shit” I tell her. I pulled away from him, suddenly annoyed with not only him but my wolf. Fine, Mr clean, have it your way. You are going to regret wanting to share a room with me. I thought as I walked out of the walk-in.
Sitting on the bed, I watched as the Alpha stacked my bags in the corner of the walk-in.
