Airy

Chapter 5

Damien POV

As I left her room, my wolf started eating me up inside, telling me to go back and stay beside her. I knew I couldn't do that. I could not see her again. I had made a decision, and I had to stick to it.

I purposely gave her a room on the right side of the wing, away from mine which is on the left side.

I walked down the hall, and as I approached the kitchen, I asked one of the maids to get Vivian. Vivian had been serving my family for years, and she practically raised me after my mother died. She was like a mother to me, and I trusted her completely.

"Hello Alpha, what can I do for you?" Vivian appeared out of the main kitchen doors and walked to me. She does not have to call me Alpha when we are alone but still chooses to.

"We have a guest in the right wing, 4th room. Please take her some clothes and food," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.

Vivian looked at me curiously. "Is it a special guest?" she asked, adding her signature wink at the end. She was a smart woman, and she knew me well.

"No," I said firmly, turning on my heel and leaving to go to my office. I had work to do, and I couldn't afford to be distracted.

As I entered my office, I closed the door behind me and took a deep breath. I had to focus on the task at hand. I had to close that damn place, and I meet with that scumbag Xavier this week.

Our fathers were close friends, but we could never be. Xavier was a disgrace to our world, and I wanted nothing to do with him.

I sat down at my desk and began to work through the pile of paperwork. But my mind kept drifting back to Airy. "Airy" I said unconsciously.

"Airy" I need to stop!

She has long brown hair that reached almost to her hips, beautiful lips that were vibrant pink, the cold made them even brighter. As she run down the street in hopes if escape, the wind whipped her hair around her face.

I need to stop thinking about her.

She was clearly trying to escape and she will try again. I will post a guard next to her door in case she tries anything.

The whole pack is well guarded and even if she succeeds to leave the pack housing territory the forest borders are also guarded so my heart was calm! I just had to prevent her from making to much fuss and stay put to not grab attention and make people ask questions.

My beta already knew, but he will not tell anyone anything about this matter not even to his mate. This will be hidden from everyone especially from Airy! Which shouldn't be hard because she is a human she will not feel any bond or know about mates unless she grew up in a pack, which I have yet to fund out more about her background.

After few hours of working I left my office and my wold kept wanting to take over. I have a lot of control over him so I did not let but he was begging to go check on her.

So I did!

I walked to the right wing and past her door it was already 1am. I heard her shuffle in the bed and a low muffled sniffles.

She was crying.

I had to use all my control to not let my wolf open the door and go inside. So I left to my room, still thinking if I made big mistake of getting her from there. If I could back time I would just leave her there.

That was her fate!
That should have been her fate!
I took out a whiskey bottle and glass from my drawer and started pouring some, I can't sleep anyways. I haven't been able to sleep since the death of my father! Is it guilt? Is it sadness? Is still having figured it out.

But he had to be gone! With him the pack would have been in shambles and ruins.

I killed him!

I can't keep my head straight, no one blamed me. I even received thank you's and more respect from my pack! Like I did them a favor.

I wish someone blamed me so I could feel something.

Anything.

I realized I finished my glass and poured another one. I feel immune to alcohol already nothing effects me.

"Airy will" I heard my wolf think. He never reveals his thoughts! what's wrong with him. His mate is already making him weak. I blocked him away from my mind.

This is going to be the death of me!

Airy POV

I woke up from hearing someone shuffle around the room, I am a light sleeper. It was Vivian, when she noticed I was waking up, she looked at me with a smile and proceeded to go open the window blinds which she closed last night.

"Good morning, dear!" Vivian said cheerfully.

"Good morning," I replied dryly.

I knew that Vivian had nothing to do with what was happening here. She might not even know how the man named Alpha had gotten me here, let alone how much he had paid for me. The thought made me nauseous. I couldn't believe that I was now someone's property.

As I lay there, I remembered how Alpha had taken the man next to me and thrown him away when we were in what seemed like a backstage area. I had never seen such brutality before. It was like he was disposing of a piece of trash.

I tried to push those memories aside and focus on the present. Vivian was now making her way to the bathroom, and I could hear the sound of water running. I decided to get up and explore my surroundings.

The room was furnished with a single queen bed where I slept, a dresser, and a small table. There was a window that overlooked a courtyard, and the walls were painted a dull shade of beige. 

I sat down on the bed and stared out the window. The gloomy day seemed to mirror the darkness of my thoughts. I was used to the gloomy and rainy weather. My thoughts got to me again. What would happen to me now? Was there any hope of escape?

As the minutes ticked by, my anxiety only grew. The air was thick with a sense of foreboding. It was as if I had entered a world where anything could happen, and none of it would be good.
