Meeting An Alpha

Chapter 8 - The latin greeting

When we got home I could barely keep my eyes open. Nathan carried me bridal style up the stairs and into his room. He lied me on the bed and kissed me softly.

"Sleep now princess." He whispered.

"Boss we got a problem." Someone burst in. I couldn't open my eyes to look at who. I heard Nathan growl.

"What?" He sounded angry.

"Can we talk in private." I felt Nathan get up from the bed and walk away. The door closed softly.

After what felt like forever I heard the door open again. I felt a presence next to me on the bed and warm strong arms wrap around my waist. His breath was on my neck and his grip was strong.

"I love you." He said softly into my ear.

****
The next morning felt like the best morning ever. I woke up with arms holding onto me. It was just any arms, it was the arms of my mate.

"Morning beautiful." His husky morning voice sounded. He looked so sleepy yet so sexy.

"Morning." I said lying my head on his chest, looking up at him.

"You look amazing."

"Amazing? I just woke up."

"Still naturally beautiful."

I leaned forward and started kissing him. He held me tight. He pulled away.

"I want to ask you something before you we start the day."

"Yeah?"

"I want to mark you."

"What?"

"Something's not right. I want you to be safe. And with my mark you will be a member of the pack. You can mind speak and warn of danger. I will also be able to sense your emotions and know when you are frightened. It is all your choice. I don't want to pressure you."

"Two major choices in two days." I laughed. "Of course you can mark me Nathan. I...I love you."

Nathan looked shocked for a moment. And then a smile spread across his face. "I love you too."

He rolled over to lay on top of me and started kissing me.

When I arrived at school the only thing I could think about was the morning I had. I moved my hand to the place where Nathan marked me, I could still feel his teeth sink into me. I thought it would hurt, but it felt like pure ecstasy.

"Lea wait!" Alex came running towards me.

"Oh Alex hi." I stood still.

"On what world are you I kept calling you but no answer."

"Oh sorry." I blushed. I couldn't get Nathan off my mind.

"So do you think we can go to that band tonight?"

"I can't. I am kind of busy." His face changed it looked sad.

"Oh sorry for bothering you Lea." He started to walk away.

"No Alex." I called. He turned. "Please life just a bit complicated, next time okay?" I reassured him.

"Okay." He said upset and walked away.

****
The parking lot was still. Nathan took his time picking me up. In the background I heard mumbling but no one was around.

"Hello." I called. No answer.

The mumbling got louder. It sounded Latin.

"This is not funny!" I yelled.

Louder and louder it got. It got so loud my ears almost hurt.

"Lupus enim nostrum." It repeated.

I turned around and still no one was to be seen. When I turned back I saw my source. A black hooded figure stood in front of me. I turned to run but another stood behind me. I was surrounded. They were everywhere.

"Well well well the little pup finally made her appearance. " A male voice said. He pushed himself forward between the crowd of hooded figures. I looked up at him. It was the same man I saw the other day.

"W...who are you?"

"I think you know the answer. " he crossed his arms. "But if you must know. They call me Lucius." Fear awoke in me. He was right. Nathan was right.

"What do you want from me?"

"I thought that part was obvious." He laughed loudly. His face turned serious. "I want your power."

"How are you playing on getting that?"

"By taking you and forcing you to everything I want you to." He took out a syringe and started walking towards me. I back up but only backed into another figure. They took a hold of me and forced me to my knees. He injected me.

" A little wolfsbane never hurt anybody. But it will keep you from contacting your boyfriend." He smiled evilly at me. The crowed started humming again.

The whole place around me started to look like black dots. The humming got louder and louder. My ears felt like it was going to burst. I wanted to scream but as soon as I opened my mouth nothing came out.

"There there love." Lucius picked me up. I couldn't move. I was immobilized.

"Let's take you to your knew home." He whispered in my ear.

In my mind I called out to Nathan. I hoped he could hear my calls. I hoped he would fine me. The pain got more from the mumbling. Louder and louder it got. Please make it stop. Please!! My inner voice was screaming now. Calling to Nathan.

"Nathan." I breathed out. Before I passed out in Lucius arms I saw a man walking towards me.

" Shame I liked you Lea." His voice was familiar. I looked at it.

It was Alex..
