Alpha 3

(Picture of Alpha)

My breath was heavy, my body tense as I crouched above the dead stag. Without hesitation, I raised my head to the sky and let out piercing howl. It was still noon, and everyone must still be in class, but nonetheless, I could hear a response not far from where I am.

Looking down at the corpse, my breathing calms. It was a relief to get that out of my system. Slowing, I made my way to my dorm.

  They didn't pay me any attention, as usual. I didn't bother phasing back, I was too comfortable. Instead, I walked past some she-wolves and straight into my dorm.

***

  The plus side of being a lone wolf: I get my own dorm. Down side? I have to stare at the wall, waiting for my only friend to call or visit or... Anything!

  I had just gotten out of my shower when I noticed that I wasn't exactly alone in my room. Sitting on my bed was the one and only, Alpha. He had his head in his hands, his finger brushing through his long, thick locks.

  I don't think he noticed me yet. I thanked God for that. At the moment, I was missing some critical fabrics that were suppose to cover essential body parts. And my dresser HAD to be right next to him.

  I sighed, which caught his attention immediately. His head snapped up, his eyes landing on my almost naked body. For a few seconds, we just stared at each other.

Maybe I should go back into the bathroom, I thought to myself, then I remembered this is my room.

I scratched the nape of my neck and held the towel with my other. "Hey, um... So what's up? Is there a reason your in my room?"

Well of course there must be a reason. He wouldn't just be sitting on my bed, looking anxious for no reason, right?

"Umm... Uh," he stuttered, trying to keep his attention on my face, but it always seemed to drift down my chest area.

I glanced down at my covered breast, and almost fell over. On my chest was markings that seemed to travel down the length of my body.

That wasn't there before! My thoughts were running wild. My breathing was becoming ragged.

I looked up at Alpha only to find him standing directly in front of me.

That stopped my breathing.

"Calm down," he seemed to have composed himself but now I was freaking out.

There were markings on my body that just appeared out of no where, Alpha saw me with only a towel on, he was standing so close I could feel warmth, and I was trying to figure out how to breath again. I struggled so hard, I almost completely dropped my towel.

He grabbed the towel and covered me with it, then picked me up as if it were nothing. He carried me to the bed and lay me down.

"Breath," he said, looking into my eye. "You know what those marking are, yes?"

I was so dizzy, from the fact that my heart stopped or from his voice, I have no idea. But I nodded, confirming I knew what the marking were.

Tiredly, I glanced at him. He was staring at me. I couldn't hear him but I read his lips perfectly.

"It's okay. I'm here. Please breath, Rea," his lips were so perfectly full, it was tempting.

Slowly, my gaze drifted and landed on his shirt. Inside, I saw something moving. No, it was more like fading in and out of focus, but it was clear enough to see. It was like vines on a tree, tattoos on his chest, that seemed to travel down his body.

My eyes began to close, the last thing I remember saying was,"I'm mated."
