The Wolf Den

Chapter 6: Show Me

I walk over and lock the bathroom door, I don't think Cory would invade my privacy but he did kidnap me so I'm not really sure what boundaries he actually has. I strip from my clothes before stepping into the hot shower. The hot water instantly soothes me, my shoulders relax from the tense state they have been in since this all started. I use Cory's body wash and shampoo seeing as I don't have anything.

The steam clouds the bathroom and I'm left in the silence with my thoughts, the hot water raining down on me. I can't believe we got kidnapped. I can't believe werewolves are real. I'm a mate? Elowen is a mate? Even though we are humans?

I shut the water off, stepping out of the shower and wrapping the towel around my body. I open the toothbrush and brush my teeth before drying my body off and slipping into his shirt. His shirt is oversized on my smaller frame, it hanging down to my mid thigh. I use the same towel to dry my hair a little. I reach over to the drawer Cory had pointed out earlier for his brush, sliding the drawer open and getting the brush out. I run the brush through my hair leaving it down to air dry. I put the brush back in the drawer and pick up my clothes and towel from the floor before unlocking the door and stepping back into the bedroom. I find Cory sitting on the edge of the bed, typing aggressively on his laptop.

"Where should I put these?"

He looks up, his eyes scanning down my body and back up, his eyes a dark blue compared to their normal icy color.

"Enjoying the view?" I smirk, finally getting my turn to embarrass him.

The plan backfires immediately when his gaze only darkens more, his eyes turning to a pitch black color, "more than you know."

My face flushes, "uh" I stutter over my own sentence, "where should I put this laundry?"

He stands up, setting his laptop down on the nightstand. He takes the laundry from my hands, "I'll give it to our housekeeper. She will wash it and bring it back later, she is bringing us some food up now anyway."

"O-okay." I nod, clasping my hands together in front of me, not really sure what else to do with them.

As if on cue, someone knocks on the bedroom door. Cory walks over, unlocking the door and opening it.

"Here you go Alpha." I hear a woman's voice say and wheels to a cart moving.

"Thank you Helen, here is some laundry I need done as well." He gives it to her and takes the cart she must have pushed up here.

"Alpha, are these women's clothes?" She asks suspiciously.

"Yes, my mates. Devon also will have some from his mate, if you are headed there next."

"Congratulations Alpha." She replies with a happy tone before he pulls the cart into the bedroom and shuts the door.

"Hungry?" He asks as he starts taking the lids off some plates.

"A little." I nod, my stomach betraying me and letting out a loud growl.

"I didn't know what you liked, so I got a little bit of everything." He says as he picks up a plate from the bottom tier of the cart and hands it to me.

"I'm not picky." I give him a small smile before putting some pasta on my plate, I also got some salad. There was pasta, salad, pizza, fruit, a veggie platter, chicken nuggets, and fries on the cart.

He hands me a bottle of water that was also on the cart and a fork, "good to know."

I sit down on the couch on the side of his room, setting my drink on the coffee table. Cory fills his own plate before coming to sit next to me.
