Hidden

Chapter 4

Alpha Raymond led me upstairs and stood in front of a sky blue door.

"If you don't mind, Charlotte had this room made with a blue theme to it," he said to me as he opened the door.

"I don't mind at all, sky blue is actually my favourite colour," I replied walking forward to take a look inside. I gasped as it came into view. The room was massive and seemed more like a suite than a room. Tears sprung to my eyes as I stared around the beautiful sky blue room. It had a main room where the door was decorated with wooden floorboards and a round couch sat in the middle. The back of the room took a step up as the floorboards made a stage for the massive queen size bed with a small bedside table beside it. I was now crying fully and I felt a warm arm go around my shoulder. I flinched at first and the arm lifted slightly but then I started to relax and Alpha Raymond pulled me into him into a warm fatherly hug. My heart squeezed and the tears flowed more with happiness as the kindness of the Luna and Alpha hit me at once.

"I can't take this room," I gasped out between sobs.

"Well you can't take it back because I've already given it to you, you deserve this Cassie," he said kindly. I felt even closer to this lovely man after that comment.

"Thank you," I breathed out.

"Nothing to it," he replied. I smiled as I melted into his hug, I've never hugged someone before and it felt like the nicest warmest thing in the world.

"Oooh! Can I join too!" Charlotte shouted as she bounded into the room. It felt like she had jumped on top of us as she crashed into our hug almost tipping us over. We all started laughing and I felt like saving this moment into my memory as it was the best day of my life.

I climbed out of the soft warm bed at 6 o'clock the next morning. I felt absolutely wonderful, as I had never slept in such a cozy large bed before. Most of the beds I had ever slept on were only a metre wide and a metre and a half long, while your legs hung over the edge. Or usually they were one of those springy bunk beds and you would have someone's arm swing over and hit you in the face because their own bunk bed was that close to you.

I rolled over and stretched widely spreading myself out over the width of the large bed, relishing in the moment. I eventually had to get out of bed and make my way over to the window. I slowly pulled it open and checked if anyone was nearby. I listened into the 'Wolfchat' as I called it and listened to the guards talk. No one had reported about the Alpha's house, so I leapt out of the window and landed on the ground as my gleaming white wolf. I ran swiftly into the dense woods giving myself a nice feel to the new environment.

I kept myself connected to the 'Wolfchat' just in case someone was going to report seeing a white wolf, but no word had gone out. I spent the next hour roaming through the woods and avoiding guard patrols. Eventually I decided to head back to the house.

"Clothes are right underneath your window," came Alpha Raymond's voice inside my head. I jumped again scolding myself for not being aware, I guessed that you just couldn't get past the Alphas. I thanked him as I found the small pile of clothes and quickly changed into a nice pair of jeans and a red shirt. I walked into the house and Charlotte was already up and about in the kitchen.

"Cassie! I have pancakes here for you," she shouted as I tried to sneak past. I stopped and smelt the air as the sweet aroma filled my nostrils. I was still used to my old habits of sneaking back to my room. I smiled at Cassie as I sat down at the counter and she placed a steaming stack of pancakes in front of me. My mouth hung open as I stared at them.

"Go on eat up, haven't you seen pancakes before?" she joked.

"No actually, I've only ever heard about them on TV and in books," I replied casually still staring at the stack. I hear a crash and I quickly jump up from my seat. I saw charlotte staring at me a shocked look on her face sympathy radiating out of her as her eyes teared up.

"Oh, Cassie!" she cried running forward and hugging me tightly forgetting all about the broken plate on the floor. I smiled at her reaction, Charlotte was too nice for her own good. I would have to watch what I say about my life. "Now quickly, eat up your first ever plate of pancakes and tell me what you think," she ordered me. I nodded and saluted her making her giggle. The pancakes were absolutely delicious, never had I tasted something so delicious in my life.

I thanked Charlotte for the god given meal and began to head up the stairs. Half way there Alpha Raymond appeared around the corner.

"Cassie, I know that it's your first day here but it's a Monday today and I thought it would be better for you to enter the school straight away. If you don't feel like it that's okay-" I cut him off as a large grin appeared on my face.

"I would love to go!" I almost squealed. All my life I was never allowed to enter a normal high school, because the orphanage had labelled me as a troubled child, I was forever forced to attend a 'special' school. So I never had the chance to have a normal life. Alpha Raymond seemed surprised by my ready response.

"Oh, I didn't think you would be this happy. Um... I got you a bag with a few notebooks and some of the class text books. So if you want you can head off now, school starts at 8:30." I nodded and without thinking I moved up and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you so much! I promise, I'll study hard and won't let you down!" I ran out of the room leaving a surprised Alpha stunned in the middle of the room.

I found the light blue bag that he had bought me sitting on the couch in the middle of the room and beside it laid the cutest outfit I had ever seen. I felt tears appear but quickly wiped them away before I turned into a waterfall. The outfit consisted of black jeans a black singlet and a daek red crocheted jumper that fell over the top exposing my shoulders. I absolutely loved it and put it on straight away. I grabbed the light blue bag and ran out the door. This was going to be such an interesting day for me, I was curious as to what type of interactions I would have between the werewolf and humans.
