ALPHA BRANDON { On Hold }

Chapter 10: Uncomfortable comfort.

Dorothy's POV.

With a scowl on my face, I pushed the door open and shut it with a loud bang behind me.

"What a dog, he could have at least be decent enough to walk me to towards the door" I muttered under my breath. Even Coral who has been so keen on supporting her mate nodded in agreement.

The room appeared to be really clean, well illuminated and very well designed. With a king sized bed in the middle and normal sized white nightstands at both sides. One could tell the room was actually designed within blue, white and black. A small closet at the right corner relatively close to the floor length window with white drapes: I don't know if it was a smart idea building a window this close to a closet but I could picture myself staying here for a long time.

My duffle bag has been placed at the foot of the bed. I walked towards it, opened it and pulled out my  cotton shorts and tank top for the night. I opted for something simple, it was mid August and the temperature increased drastically at night over here and being a werewolf means normal increased body temperature. It is better to avoid being hot than to speed up the rate at which my body succumb to falling into heat and with the little stunt Brandon pulled earlier, I don't think I was to complete the mating process soon.

It wasn't that much of a hassle locating the en suite  bathroom. Apparently, somebody felt it was necessary to place a board with 'bathroom' written boldly in cursive on the door.

I walked into the space with my clothes and toothbrush in my hands. Walking towards the basin, I carefully placed the clothes on the ceramic top and picked up the toothpaste.

After minutes of gurgling and spitting, I finally peeled off my clothed and stepped under the shower.

I shut the door behind me and walked towards what seemed like a sitting room.

Brandon was already seated on the couch with his laptop on his thighs, he looked really concentrated on whatever he was doing.

I approached him slowly and watched as he scanned the screen with his light blue eyes. He wore a white T-shirt paired with a dark green sweat pant. His hair looks wet, guessing he took a shower too.

Still oblivious to the fact that someone is behind him, I cleared my throat hoping to get his attention. It did get his attention but coupled with a glare at me and returned back to the glowing screen.

"What's got your briefs in a twist?" I asked, sending  him a glare of my own. I guess he picked the annoyance in my tone cause he closed the gadget, placed it on the coffee table and turned to look at my face.

A grin broke across his face while I just continued to glare at him. Sensing I'm not quivering, he stood up, reached across the couch and pulled me towards his chest.

"I'm sorry, I thought it was someone else at first but then realised it was only you. And I was about to close some tabs and shut down the system" he explained while drawing circles on my hand and smelling my hair.

"Alright then, can we watch some TV?" I inquired, freeing myself from him grip and walking around the couch to sit.

He looked at me like I was crazy but smiled anyway. "I think my sister left some of her home videos here before she moved" he paused to look into my eye "but I would prefer to get to know you better rather than watch TV" he finished, this time placing his arm across my shoulders and shuffling closer to my side.

"Well, what do you want to know then?" I asked while snuggling closer to him. His warmth was enough to lure me to sleep.

"Everything, malady"

A bit my lip to prevent me from giggling like a love struck teenage girl.

" isn't that what you are" Coral snickered.

I retorted back with a shut up and asked about her whereabouts. Being the annoying wolf she is, she decided to rub her achievement in my face.

"" while you are here making no progress with his human, I have been connecting with his wolf, Xander"

A groan brought me out of my communication. Brandon face was directly in front of mine, I was thinking he was going to kiss me again but he only reached to touch my lip and release it from my teeth.

" don't do that"

I mumbled a sorry and smiled at him.

"Well my name is Dorothy and I'm 18. I'm the eldest of two kids". "I had a younger brother. He was 15" I added after sensing his confusion about being the eldest.

"Had? What happed to him?" He asked.

"Let's change the topic. I'm sorry but I do not wish to talk about them"

I could see the hesitation in his eyes but he covered it up with a silent 'OK' and a small smile.

"My favourite color would be blue, exact shade of your eyes, I find it really intriguing" I blurted out.

A sinister smirk danced on his lips.

"That's a nice choice" he said, while reaching forward to pinch my cheeks.

I swatted his hands away and quickly covered my flaming hot cheeks. I had no doubt they were incredibly crimson already. The joys of being really white.

He chuckled at my behaviour and ruffled my hair with his large hands.

"I have a question" he said, this time all playfulness gone from his face. He removed his hand from across my shoulder and placed them on my exposed thigh.

I nodded my head and signaled for him to carry on with his question but definitely bothered by his action.

"Earlier when you were talking to Pauline, you spoke like you knew everything about being a Luna. I know you belong among the top hierarchy, I can feel the power from your wolf but where" he finished his question with a frown.

Sensing his discomfort, I quickly covered the hand resting on my thigh with mine and rubbed his shoulder with the other. Maybe it's intuition or the mate bond but I felt obligated to comfort and calm him down.

"My dad was a beta" I stated. I decided to leave the part where I was training to be Luna and all. He doesn't need to know all that.

"I don't know why you keep referring to your family like they don't exist or something but I will be patient with you. I will always be there for you" he said.

Brandon allowed himself a wry smile and kissed my forehead. I know sooner or later I would have to tell him everything but right now wasn't the time.

"Speaking of leading, your Luna ceremony and introduction ceremony will be coming soon.  It's a full moon tomorrow and it would be the perfect time for the Luna ceremony. But the introduction ceremony will be held tomorrow afternoon" he said, while patting my hair.

I must admit I'm terrified because different pack have their traditions but I'm more bothered about the pack not accepting me as their Luna.

I just nodded my head and snuggled deeper into his side. We will deal with that tomorrow but first I need to sleep.

I muttered a goodnight and escaped into dreamy land.

The last touch with reality I felt was someone placing a sloppy kiss on my forehead.
