Alden.

XII

Bell's Pov

My head was pounding and the pain was unbearable. Even the silence in the room was loud! The lights were too bright. I groaned as I buried my head deeper into the blanket. The bed was so soft and silky.  I sniffed the blanket, it smelled heavenly. The surroundings were very unfamiliar.

I opened my eyes slowly and observed the room. It was big, white and not mine. My eyes widened and got up.

Whose room is this? And where am I? I was panicking!

" Hold on love! don't move. You fell pretty bad back at the boutique."

My breath hitched and I was too scared to turn around and face whoever was behind me. I took a deep breath and turned around and almost choked on my saliva. This guy was a work of art created by the gods themselves. In my head, I was praying for him not to be a psychopath.

"Oh no, darling, I'm not a crazy lunatic who kidnapped you. You passed out in the shop so I decided to help you. Now, can't leave a pretty lady like you there alone. Besides, my mom was there, she would've killed me if I left you there." I  just kept staring at his handsome face as he recalled the situation.

"I...Uh, th-thank you for helping me, mister. I don't know how to repay you."

"You don't have to, dear. it's late, I  think you should sleep."

" NO no, I can't sleep here.  My parents must be worried about me. I need to leave. Thank you for helping me, mister.." I paused realizing  I don't know his name.

"Alden. my name is Alden." I nodded.

"By the way, your parents know you're here. So, you don't have to worry about anything." I  looked at him with confusion.

"Uh. How?"

" My mother informed them. "

" Where am I ?"

" You're in the pack house"

"Your pack house or mine?"

Alden's pov

Okay, I admit. She fell pretty hard, but did she really hit her head that bad or is she pretending?

"Wait, you're Alden. As in ALPHA ALDEN?"

oh, now she knows.

" The one and only, babe. "

" -and you brought me to your room ?" I nodded. "Now my mom will be mad at me." she cried out in frustration.

" I'm sorry Alpha but I have to leave now. Thank you, once again for everything."

I opened the door and left the room. It was dark outside. soon the door opened again,

"That's not the exit. It's my closet." I  switched the lights on and she scanned the room, her jaw dropped to the floor.

She turned around to look at me and whispered: " Your closet is so big."

I nodded at her and motioned at her to follow me out of the closet room. She followed me silently still shocked.

"Are you sure you want to leave? I mean, you can go back in the morning. There are plenty of empty rooms here. "

" Then what were you doing in that room?" she asked me.

"Uh... I  was waiting for you to wake up. I didn't want you to feel lonely or scared." she looked at me weirdly.

" And .. no. I don't want to stay here. I wanna go home. "

I didn't want her to go and the fact that she was showing no sign of her knowing that she was my mate worried me the most.

"O-okay, as you wish."

Once she left the house, I went back to my room and grabbed my phone. I dialed Ezra's phone number.  He didn't pick up. I called him again,

"What the fuck is wrong with you dickhead? This better be serious, I was in the middle of something very important!"

"Fuck that! and listen-" He growled at me " Oh shut up and listen! I found my ma-"

"REALLY? CHRIS! baby, we'll continue this later and get ready we gotta go somewhere. We'll be there in a few minutes, Alden. " he cut the call and I sighed, maybe I should've told him in the morning. Anyway...

I opened the door and let them in, they reeked of sex.

I went back to my room and grabbed a perfume and gave it to them. Ezra smirked as his mate became a blushing mess.

"Dude, now will you start speaking?"

"About that.. yea, I  found her today at mom's boutique. She banged her head on the door and fell." Ezra looked amused.

Ezra groaned,

"Dude, seriously?! Is she alright? Did you help her ?"

"Of course I helped her! What kind of question is that ?"

"I feel bad for the poor girl. I don't know how she's gonna keep up with you. Is she from this pack?"

I nodded. " Yea, she's the omega."

" W-who? Bell? is she your mate? she is the only un-mated omega in the pack." Chris looked excited. He held Ezra's arm tightly.

" Wait that's her name? Is it Bell? It's pretty just like her ."

Chris lost it, he squealed loudly and buried his face in Ezra's neck, causing Ezra to smirked at me.

" Hit the jackpot, I see!" he laughed and grabbed his mates hand.

" We should go, now. Good night, Denny. We'll see you in the morning."

"Good night, bro."

I am so happy that goddess didn't mate me with any dumb chick and from what my mom told me,  my mate was very caring and an excellent cook. Mom also told me that her wolf small and very adorable with silver fur.  She is extremely beautiful.

I'm so grateful to the goddess that she paired me with her. But her not recognizing me as her mate was quite disturbing. I don't think that I'll sleep anytime soon today.

I couldn't help but think that her not realizing me as a mate had something to do with her wolf. Maybe her wolf was underdeveloped or something.
