Echoes of pain: Sura

Echoes of pain: Serve him

I groggily open my eyes, my gaze blurry as I take in my darkened surroundings. The alarm clock blares in my ear, piercing through my skull like a thousand knives. I reach over to silence it, my hand trembling as I rub the sleep from my eyes. My white hair is tangled, sticking up like a wild halo in every direction.

"Where am I? Did Alexei bring me back?  Came my swirling thoughts.

As I sit up gasping before calming seeing I am in my bedroom, memories of the previous night come flooding back in a burst of images - Vesserion's piercing eyes, his possessive touch, and the echoes of pain that linger between my thighs. I shake my head, trying to ease my mind. My heart races as I reach for my phone, my stomach sinking as I see the numerous missed calls from my friends.

"Oh god I left to get coffee and never returned," I thought panicking "Surely I was brought here after hours because this would've been the first place they'd check"

I toss off my covers and swing my legs over the side of the bed, my feet dangling in the air. I rose and stumbled due to the ache between my legs, I made it to the bathroom, the need for a shower and a fresh start was urgent. I have to get to work and pretend everything's okay.

"How do we do that? He's our alpha, it's not like he'll just disappear" A voice asked, startling me

"Hello?" I called looking around the dark room "what exactly are you looking for sura, I'm inside your head" it said, almost sounding as if it was funny.

My eyes widen thinking this was possibly my wolf "are-are you, my wolf?" I asked hopeful

"No, I'm not." It answers, I frowned to the clipped response "um care to elaborate?" I asked annoyed "no I don't now hurry up we're going to be late"

"What....late? Is this a joke? Am I dreaming?"

I heard a deep sigh "no sura you aren't dreaming but I can't tell you what I am because.... well because I don't know, just know I'm here with you."

"Where have you been then?" I asked softly "locked away you didn't need me, you were such a hopeful girl, happy even" it paused momentarily sighing "you didn't need me" it finished gently.

"Oh, I see so now I am what broken? Are you saying I need fixing now?" I asked angrily at what I don't know. "No sweetie I'm saying I'm here for you, and will be until you no longer need me"

Hearing those words with my memory of how my body betrayed me last night caused liquid to leaked heavily from my eyes as I rushed to the shower the spray of the icy water, a shock to my system as I stand under willing myself not to run, trying to desperately wash away the lingering scent of Vesserion. But even as I scrub my skin raw, I know I can't erase the memories so easily especially as I stare at my bruised thighs.

The memories will linger, echoing through my mind, his scent, touch, tongue, fingers, cock, and his claim shall haunt me all day.

"Sura that's enough!" The voice I've yet to name command.

"Who the hell are you tell stop; I don't even know your name for god's sake!" I screamed frustration over taking me

"My name is kelpie, Sura and it's a pleasure to meet you officially"

"Kelpie? What- what kind of name is kelpie?" I asked almost chuckling...

She laughed "it's my name, it's a Scottish name meaning water spirit that could take human form".

My eyes widen especially given our history with the sirens and The Great Lake-Crest "are you related to the sirens that resided in lake crest?"

"Sura please you're going to late, besides your friends need to see that you're well" kelpie said sighing, the mentioning of my friends distracted me immediately
