What The Alpha King Wants

Skipping

Today it was back to being cold outside

I didn't want to get out of bed

But I had to

There's this moment when you lie in bed in the morning and just wake up and you forget about everything and everyone and just for a second you think of nothing

It's nice

I listened and heard the noise of clanking and banging from downstairs

Which was odd because normally my mom would be gone by now

I peeled myself out of my blankets

As I got dressed for the day I thought about the person who has been occupying my thoughts for the last couple of days

Rafael

I throw on my jet-black hoodie and skinny jeans and my use-to-be-lucky red converse

I throw my hair into a bun and put my hood on

Making my way slowly downstairs I smelled bacon

Bacon?

I saw my mom cooking

She was cooking

My mom hasn't cooked since Stacey

"Hey," she said looking up at me

"Hi?"

"I thought I would make us breakfast," she said forcing a smile

It was an odd look for her, like a foreign look

"Us all?"

And with that, I heard a male voice

"Babe"

I looked up to the stairwell to a guy coming down

It all made sense now

She was putting on a facade for him, pretending that was all was not lost

It wasn't the first time she did this so I knew what to expect

"And you must be raven," he said walking up to me

He was six feet tall, he had broad shoulders, a muscular frame, he looked around thirty-something, bright hazel eyes, dark black hair, he was quite handsome

"And you must be..?"I said drawing out

"Damon," he said holding his hand out

I looked down at it and my mom cleared her throat

"Raven," I said taking his hand

"I have heard so much about you," he said walking over and kissing my mom

"Mmmm wish I could say the same"

"Raven" my mom warned

I started to walk to the door

"Hey you haven't had breakfast"

"Not hungry"

"Do you need a ride to school?"

Now she cared

As long as I have been riding my bike in bad weather conditions, she cared now

"No I'm good," I said walking out the door

I put my headphones in blasting my music as I got on my bike

As I sat in English looking out the window, someone tapped my shoulder

I looked up and it was Rafael

He took a seat in the empty seat beside me

"Morning," he said smirking
