Enslaved by the Alpha

Chapter 6

"Get out of my face!"

I stumbled out of his office and he slammed the door, hitting me in the back and sending me soaring to the floor. My head hit the white wall across the way and I laid there, still bloody and quivering. My skull throbbed and I took ragged breaths.

Weakly, my hands pushed off the red carpet covering the floor and I stood, allowing the wall to help me wobble to the closest bathroom just down the hall.

I stumbled in and closed the door, turning on the sink and filling my mouth with cold water to stop the remaining bleeding. While my gums soaked, I took handfuls of water and rubbed off the drying blood on my healed bite wounds.

Once all trace was gone, I spit out the water and splashed my face to clear my racing thoughts, taking calm, slow breaths.

I reached out and turned off the water, taking another breath before stepping out and wiping my wet hands over my eyes to disguise my tears. And next thing I knew, my body collided into someone else's.

"I'm sorry!"

I looked up and frowned, realizing it was Draven. His expression softened upon realizing it was me and I glanced over my shoulder worriedly, relieved to see Alpha Aston's office door still closed. My gaze returned to him and he frowned.

"Have you been crying?" He asked, analyzing my face and my chest tightened. It must be the swollen, bloodshot eyes that gave it away.

"And why are you covered in water?" His gaze roamed my figure and I shook my head, attempting to move by until he grabbed my wrist.

A gasp left my lips and I lost my balance due to the jelly feeling in my legs. His back hit the wall behind him from the unsuspected impact of my body, causing my lost balance to turn into a fall as I toppled over his legs. He wrapped his arms around my waist to stop me and pulled me into his chest. My breasts landed on his abdomen muscles, enhancing the cleavage I already had by pushing against them.

I stiffened, waiting for the pain from before-it never came. Then I became way too aware of our positioning and widened my eyes. The thin bralette, my shorts, and his gray sweatpants were the only things between our naked bodies, making the same unfamiliar fire ignite under the skin on my cheeks.

"Are you alright, Bambi?" He grinned, his chest vibrating against me as a chuckle left his lips. I stared, compelled by the sound. It shouldn't sound so calming, especially coming from him.

Looking down embarrassedly, I nodded and pushed away. He let me go and hooked his finger under my chin, gently lifting my head. My smile fell and his followed.

"Pain is temporary, remember that," he said, "and don't hide your smile, it's beautiful."

He lightly pushed up on the underside of my chin then moved by. I twisted my head to watch him walk off, the corners of my lips lifting into a smile.

The door to Alpha Aston's office then opened and he walked out with his mate, both sets of eyes landing on me standing here. My expression dropped seeing them and I turned away.

"Don't," he demanded, stopping me mid-step.

"Go find her something else to wear, honey," he told his mate. I heard departing footsteps soon after.

A lump formed in my throat hearing him walk up behind me. His hand grabbed my shoulder and I flinched away with a grimace, watching him step into view through the corner of my eye.

"Stay the hell away from my son."

I turned to face him, strangely bothered by his order. "He comes to me," I replied, biting back harsher words.
