The Alpha's Ballerina - Discontinued

Chapter 11

This kitchen is huge! It has gigantic countertops and beautiful antique moldings in the ceiling and the archways of the door. This entire house is beautiful- no. This isn't a house; this is a freaking mansion. A little while ago Will (aka Mr. Parker) explained to me what he was and how his 'kind' began. He also stated that I was his 'mate'. I blush at that as I eat my cereal. I cannot believe he was so upfront about these things. I guess it'll just have to take some time getting used to, but I don't really see them as monsters anymore. Am I afraid? Heck yes! But am I going to at least try to be what Will wants me to be? Yes. Mom would always used to tell me that you should never not give someone or something a chance; she said that it wasn't fair to you or the person/thing. Plus the people here seem very friendly, except the fact that they keep bowing their heads at me; that makes me uncomfortable, but other than that it's okay. 

I talked to Justin, Dylan, and Hunter on facetime about an hour ago. They explained the situation as best they could, and I understand. Hunter said it was Mom and Dad's choice; that they wanted me to be safe and grow up like a normal kid. They said they were sorry, and that if they knew my reaction was going to be that bad, then they would've told me years ago. Justin said that he's looking into why I'm not like the rest of them, and Hunter said that the three of them will be flying to the "palace" later tomorrow. Dylan said that he and Justin will get home schooled, and that I will too. It's a shame that I had to leave Oregon after only being there for such a short period of time, but I don't mind leaving that school; there were some horrid people there. Except for Sam. I liked her. Will told me that she was his sister, and I'm happy about that since I think her and I could become really good friends.

I need to ask Will if there are any dance studios near here. I haven't danced in at least a week, and my hands are itching to put on my ballet shoes again. Thankfully, Will had shipped my stuff from Oregon here so I can have some clothes and other stuff. I sigh and put my bowl in the sink as I feel the headache coming on. Justin always says I get headaches because I think too much, but I think he's just stupid. 

I walk out of the kitchen into a large hallway, and I'm already feeling lost. This place is too big. I don't understand why Will would want to live in this big of a 'house'. I see some doors lining the hallway, and I stop at the one that says "Alpha's Office. Do Not Disturb." I frown when I see the 'do not disturb' part of the sign. He already left me alone in this huge mansion, and there's barely anyone here except the people that look like house staff. I hang my head as I turn to walk away, but the door opens. I swiftly turn around and am met with a wall. Well no, I guess it wasn't a wall, considering walls don't have arms. Or a heartbeat. I know who caught me and I blush; I guess I was leaning too much on the door because I almost faceplanted. How embarrassing, Lily. I blush and I hear a deep chuckle vibrate from him.

"Well hello, baby doll." His minty breath fans across my face and I suppress a shudder. This is getting weird how my body reacts to such simple things. 

"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you." I mumble and mentally smack myself for stuttering. I've had that problem since I could talk, and I only got it under control a few years ago. I look up at him and his face graces a look of confusion.

"The door. It says 'Do Not Disturb'. I just was alone and there's nobody here I know or talk to and I didn't know how to get back upstairs.." I trail off while looking at the ground. He growls lowly and my eyes widen slightly. I look up at him and he looks mad. Great, Lily, you did it again. Way to go!

He rips the sign off the door and drops it to the floor. Okay, now I'm confused. He's breathing hard and he has a firm grip on my waist. 

"You are never a disturbance, Lily. You can talk to me anytime, okay?" He voices as he lifts me chin to meet his eyes. My neck strains to look at him, considering my height, and his amber eyes soften when they meet mine. I nod slowly. He opens the door to the office wider and hold out his hand for me. I lightly place my hand in his and he guides me into his office with a hand on my lower back. The office is just as gorgeous as the rest of the house-or what I've seen anyway. The walls are wood and the carpet is soft against my bare feet. There's a small couch against the far wall, and two elegant chairs in front of a rather large wooden desk. Behind the desk is a wall of bookshelf, and my eyes widen. I love books. Ballet may be my number one thing, but reading comes at a close second. My favorite books are 'To Kill a Mockingbird' and 'Pride and Prejudice'. I walk over to the bookshelf and my hands lightly skim the books.
