sealed fate

chapter 5

Julia and I made our way into the town and began window shopping the land here is beautiful, the town itself seemed so peaceful and calm although everyone seemed to be giving me weird looks and whispering amongst themselves. What more can I expect I am a outsider here, the looks and whispers continued through the duration of our trip but I try to focus on the task ahead, shopping and spending Alpha Asshole's money.

"So where is the best place to shop around here Julia?" I ask with a grin on my face.

"There is a shop around the corner called Alexander's,  it has alot of nice clothing and lingerie, heels , purses, almost anything you can imagine but it is on the pricey side" Julia gave me a side glance and I knew she was on the same page as me. It's time to run up a nice fat bill.

Walking into Alexander's we are welcomed with smiles and a slim tall brunette whose name tag read Jennifer asked if we needed any help finding things. With a smile on my face I replied.

"Hello, my name is Lily I was sent by Alpha Malcom I'm in need of some clothes he told me only the best will do here is his credit card" looking over at Julia whose jaw was practically hanging on the floor I winked and followed Jennifer to the fitting rooms and sitting area.

"Absolutely the best is all we carry here at Alexander's let me get you ladies a glass of wine and some things for you to try on" Jennifer hurried away and gathered some other consultants to help her with the task of grabbing clothing for me to try on.

After about a hour in the store we left with about ten bags full of clothes, shoes, a few dresses  and lingerie to die for I'm going to be miserable here then I'm going to look hot doing it.

"I'm starving where can we get something to eat around here" I look over at Julia being extra dramatic and holding my stomach.

" there is a Italian restaurant just down the street, that should do nicely" she laughs at me and we make our way to the restaurant.

Outside the restaurant the sign reads 'the grape vine' I can smell the food before we even walk in the door and my mouth begins to water. I really am starving shopping really is hard work. I laugh at myself for being dramatic when it comes to food.

Julia orders chicken parm and a salad. I order Alfredo and a glass of sweet red wine. After our meal we head back to Alpha Malcom's house to unload my clothes. I told Julia she could head home that I can surely hang my own clothes and put away my unmentionables.

I hug her goodbye and she assures me she will see me tomorrow, she may be the only pleasant thing about be held prisoner here.

Once I put everything away to my liking I get a pair of new pajamas that I bought today. They are a lilac colored silk, shorts and a tank top with black lace on the edges. I grab a towel, shampoo and a razor and head for the bathroom attached to my bedroom. It's time to shower today off of me. After I shave and shower I towel dry and brush my teeth and hop into bed. Nothing beats shaved legs and fresh sheets. It's not long after I get settled into bed. I hear footsteps coming up the hallway, I close my eyes and pretend to be asleep. I hear my door creek open and footsteps enter. I can smell him before he even says a word its Malcom, he kneels beside my bed and brushes my wet hair away from my face.

"I hope one day you will be able to see me for the man I once was, I do horrible things for the people I care about and I can't take that back but if I could make you see the reasoning behind my actions maybe you wouldn't see me as a monster." He spoke in a whisper these words weren't meant for me to hear. Who was the soft man in front of me because the Malcom I know is cruel.

" I've done monstrous things, maybe the moon goddess is cursing me by sending such a angel that could never love me. I don't deserve to be loved by you or by anyone. But I cannot help myself I need you close to me. I will make you see that even you could love a beast." He kisses my forehead sending sparks down my spine and walks out of the room.
