The Alpha's Call

Chapter 8

Kade was taken away from the table early. Vance came in and told him he had business to take care of and he excused himself. After that the kids were picked up by a maid and taken out of the house. I finished my meal and started to wander around the house. It was huge, I think I could get lost.

I was in the middle of a huge hallway when Kade and Vance came around the corner.

"Oh, Lexi I didn't expect you to be wandering like this." Kade told me.

"I'm just exploring." I said.

"Well, I'm done with work for today, so do you want me to show you around?"

I agreed and Kade took me throughout the house. I met some of the staff and some other people. Eventually we ended up back in his room.

I sat down on the bed and yawned. Kade walked over and sat next to me.

"You know, we should talk. Get to know each other a little better. Would you mind telling me about yourself?" He asked.

"Well, I was born and raised in south Alaska. My father left as soon as he found out my mom was pregnant. That town you found me in was where I grew up. It was all pretty boring and I saw University as a chance to escape that. So i went to University in Canada so I could always stay close to home. My mom, she needed me. I've been the only thing she's had sense my dad left." A tear fell down my cheek.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, about everything." He said.

I was crying now. I could also feel him getting closer. He lifted my chin with his hand and looked at me. He looked like he understood. I could feel his face getting closer and closer. All of a sudden his lips touched mine and we were consumed in a long soft kiss.

I finally pulled away and looked down to hide my blush. "That was..."

"Was that too soon?" He asked "Crap, I went too far didn't I?"

"Nice." I cut him off. "That was nice Kade."

He automatically perked up and smiled. He wiped my tears with his thumb and kissed me again.

He pulled away and looked at me. We just stared at each other for a while. "Hey, I have to go check in on some things." He smiled at me. "Will you be okay alone?"

(Trigger Warning)

I nodded and he left. All of a sudden I felt very sick. I don't know what came over me, I was just really ill. I ran to a door which I assumed was a bathroom, it was. I knelt down next to the toilet, but I didn't feel ill enough to throw up. So I did what I used to do all the time in high school.

I stuck my fingers down my throat, and purged. I've dealt with anorexia my whole life, but I haven't had bulimia sense school.

I felt better after I did this, I felt empty, free of sickness. I quickly flushed it, washed out my mouth, and went to lie down on the bed.

I laid down, shed a tear, then fell asleep.
