What The Alpha King Wants

True Colors

Waking up my head pounded.

Without opening my eyes I reached for the source of the pain which was a lump and slowly rubbed it.

My eyes slowly opened as they adjusted to the light.

"You really shouldn't rub that dear" a woman's voice came from beside me

My eyes quickly shot to where it came from as I scrambled up and over to the other side of the bed. I hugged my legs close to me in a ball position

"Wh...what..." I started to say as my breathing was heavy

"Well, you're probably wondering where are you, who am I, and why right?" She flicked her hand around rolling her eyes as if I was an annoyance she couldn't care less about

I looked at the slightly older woman. I also took the chance to take in my surroundings. By the accent of her voice, I knew it had something to do with his doing

I was in a large room that was decorated in a modern sleek design. The large window over to the side showed a large bright forest and grass as the sun set over them. The bed I was on was large to large so maybe a king-size. It had grey thick covers on it and lots of pillows. The carpet was white all across the floor. The large TV screen was plastered on the wall and the expensive-looking bedside tables were silver and glass. The room was connected to another room and I pieced together the bathroom. This place was beautiful and certainly not my home

The beautiful woman's eyes watched me like a predator as I took in my surroundings. She watched me as if she was looking for a weak spot.

Her long blond hair was straight down her back framing her face, her bright blue eyes, her heart-shaped, the faint lines by her mouth  and on her forehead were a hint of frown lines that she was slightly older, she slightly looked similar to Rafael

"Would you like some water?"

I was too scared to even move let alone say anything

When I didn't respond she kept talking

"I'm Rafael's mother, and you're in south London"

London? I remember walking out on Rafael and heading to the bus stop

"My son brought you here last night. I've been waiting to meet you for a really long time now"

I'm pretty sure my face made a perplexity look

"When Rafael told me you were mates back from kindergarten I thought how? It isn't heard of that werewolves have human mates but it's rare but lycans it's unheard of"

There were those words again, Lycans and mates. I didn't understand what was up with everyone and those words

What the hell did werewolves have to do with anything

"We moved back home here in London thinking maybe if we kept you two away you would lose the connection to each other, but my son was drawn to you. Understandable since the mate connection is something you cannot run from but over the years as he kept ties on you and checked on you he begged me and his father to let him go back and we knew why, it was inevitable. I'm sorry to hear about your sister"

At the mention of my sister my heart stopped. What did she know about my sister?

"Rafael told us about the dreams and the connection between you two and the first thought on my mind is how in the world does my son have this type of connection with a human and why? Can you answer those questions, Raven?"

My brain was so scrambled that the only thing I could focus on was Stacey

"What do you know about Stacey?"

"Rafael hasn't told you?"

"Told me What?"

"That is something that he has to tell you, now dear answer my question"

She had a stern voice, one that was not to be argued with and left no room for discussion or there would be precautions 

"I don't know"

"Now Raven I don't like being lied to"

I was hurt, pissed off, and angry

"I DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOUR TALKING ABOUT" I yelled

She looked so calm and elegant sitting in the chair after my sudden outburst

She calmly stood up from the chair by the bed and walked toward the door

"We will speak later"

She left me in the empty room only to be filled with my thoughts

There wasn't any phone and the window wasn't open. My only way out of this was to fight my way out.

I sat on the bed for the next hour, starring at a wall and thinking about my next move

The slight knock at the door didn't startle me when David came in

"Long time no see stranger"

My face went down from the wall to my lap where my hands slightly shook

"I know you probably want to be left alone right now but I brought you some dinner"

When I didn't say anything he walked over to the table beside me and sat the trey drown

"Rafael will be in later and he will explain everything, I h..."

Before he could finish that sentence I got up and put a razor to his throat so it dug in a little. They needed to know I was serious, I was going to get out of here one way or another

"Get me out of here"

He looked in no way distressed or alarmed halfway as he expected something from me

"Raven calm down, it's not gonna work"

I dug the razor deeper to where it drew blood

"I said out and don't think for a second I won't do it"

His eyes drifted off to the side as if he was zoning out or contemplating whether to go along with it or not.

I knew he was strong enough to overpower me in a second but I had to chance it.

"Alright"

Alright?

"Slowly" I warned

He slowly walked in front of me as I held the razor blade to his throat. When he opened the door and we steeped in the hall the place was giant, like a museum. What was creepy was how quiet it was.

There were so many rooms that we passed but I crept down the long stairwell.

"Raven you won't make it ten feet without being pounced on by Rafael"

"I don't care"

I'm going home.

Truth be told what even was home anymore?

We passed the enormous living room and dining room and kitchen, to come to a stopping point at the front door.

How many people lived here anyway?

"The doors right there, you are free to walk out of it"

Circling around him still my my hand out reached, I looked him in the eye

"What do you want from me anyway? Why kidnap me or even bother to go through the trouble, I'm a nobody"

"Like I said Rafael will explain everything"

No, he won't because I'm out of here

I held up my hand with the razor as I walked backward to the door. I opened the door and backed out of it when I hit something hard.

I spun around when it wasn't just something it was Rafael's chest

And he looked ready to rip someone's head off
