Alpha Angello

Chapter Ten: The sun tattoo

Listening to all those stories of how Alpha Angello had captured and locked them up like wild dogs truly did a number on me. The sun was barely starting to come down, I believe it is 6:00 p.m and I was already getting ready for bed. Angello had asked if I wanted to sleep in his room again for "safety purposes" he claims. But remembering how he woke up on the floor I denied his offer and decided it would be best to sleep in my room. So now I'm laying on my bed doing nothing but thinking. It finally hit me, Emily called me a slut for "choosing" Angello. It's not like I purposely told the moon goddess to make him my mate so that I can break my pack connection with my "best friend" so that I could be the Luna to my Mates pack. That's not how it works! Out of everyone, she was the one who trespassed into the territory, broke  into the house and snuck into my room completely unnoticed. How did she do it?

The little digital clock on the night stand read 8:43 P.M, I've literally been in bed for almost three hours tired but unable to sleep. There's an indescribable feeling of emptiness within me along with a magnetic pull between me and another object dragging me off my bed. I find the strength in me to get my lazy butt off my bed with a bed throw blanket using it to cover me. I gently twisted the door handle of my bedroom door not wanting to wake anyone up. The wooden door made a loud creek as I slowly pulled it open and was greeted with a pair of cloudy grey eyes. I didn't know what to say or do having a mental fight debating if I should continue to stand in my place or to turn around and go back to bed even if it means I won't be able to sleep.

"I just wanted to check on you, make sure you were okay." His voice tone was different, it wasn't his normal bold and confident one this time it was nervous and quiet.

I lied. "I'm scared. I can't sleep." Okay not completely, I just needed an excuse. I don't want to sound to eager or straight forward.

"I can get Olivia to come up with you?" Goddess, Angello. No, I don't want to sleep with anyone other than you!

"No it's okay, don't want to wake her. She must be asleep already." Of course she's not asleep, it's not even nine yet.

A small smirk crept onto his face making his right eye close a bit. "I guess you're going to have to sleep in my room, I mean if you want to get a goodnight sleep." Finally, I was honestly starting to think that I was going to sleep alone. I know what you're thinking, 'why didn't you just say yes when he asked you earlier?' Well because I didn't think I wasn't going to be able to sleep if he wasn't in the same room as me. I know that our mate bond is only going to get stronger and stronger until we complete the process but it's too much for me right now.

Now we're both laying on his bed, half of the white duvet covering his lower half leaving his well built upper half on full display. The other half of the white duvet is in between my legs. It's the beginning of summer, we don't really need to cover up. "You know I was thinking. You are the Luna now and Alphas and Luna's do sleep in the same room. So why don't you sleep here permanently." His velvety voice was more confident this time. He broke our comfortable silence.

In all honesty I was going to pretend I was asleep to avoid having to answer but I would still have to answer him tomorrow. I also really need to stop pretending I'm asleep to get out of serious conversations, I do it way too much. He does have a point, I mean we're both adults and know what we're doing. All I have to do is sleep here. Sleeping in the same room doesn't necessarily mean that we have sex or that we have to do it. It would also be much easier, I know I won't be able to sleep alone anyways so I'd be saving us both some time.

"If I push you off the bed at least once it's not my fault. Also, I need a tv in here." I didn't say 'yes' exactly but yes in my own way if that makes sense. I turned my back to him and cuddled with the duvet. He mumbled something like "I'll have someone move your stuff in tomorrow."or something like that. "Mhm goodnight, Alpha." For the first time in hours I was finally able to shut my eyes and let darkness fill my mind.

"Goodnight my Luna." Was the last thing he said before the darkness took me completely.

I was running through the forest, he was hot on my tracks. I wore a smile on my face but in reality I was actually terrified of who was after me. The stream was ahead of me, I was no more than two yards from it I was preparing to lunge into the crystal water but I never made it. A hand wrapped around my mouth and another around my waist he began to kiss my neck leaving wet trail marks. It felt so real and so wrong, I was utterly revolted. My insides, my wolf was pounding to let her out so that she could free us from his grasp. I opened my eyes and looked down. He proudly wore a red sun tattoo on his hand, this isn't Angello.

"Seraphina! Seraphina!" His velvety masculine voice caused my eyes to shoot open. His pool of grey orbs pouring into my crystal brown ones. I felt sticky and icky and I probably looked like it too. "You're drenched in sweat and you reek of fear are you okay?" His voice was laced with worried.

"T-the guy with the r-red sun ta-tattoo." My words poured out shakily and raspy. His face expression changed from worried to angry and a tint of fear even but it only lasted for .5 seconds because then his face was blank.

"What are you talking about?" His words were bold and loud he was speaking to me in a different tone and that scared me.

I remember him now, it was the guy from the mall. The one that was chasing me. He was the one that was touching me. I told Angello about the guy and how odd he was, he didn't smell human nor like a werewolf he carried a different aroma. I explained to him how he was in my dressing room and then disappeared. Angello seemed lost in thought and he also seemed a bit upset when I mentioned the dressing room incident. However what did upset him drastically was when I mentioned how the man had a sun tattoo on his hand. I swore his eyes changed a darker shade and his body tensed.

I remember on the way home I told Bella and Olivia about how the man following me had a sun tattoo and how they oddly exchanged looks wearing disturbed expressions. "What is it?" I questioned the anger that radiated off his tensed body. He began to mumble some disoriented sounding words that I just couldn't comprehend.

"What, I don't understand you?" wearing a confused expression I looked  for any emotion that Angello may be wearing, but like always he hid it.

"Just get some sleep, it's nothing." Angelo fixed himself under the duvet and turned off the light from his side of the bed leaving me to sit alone in wonder. What is this 'man'? And it's obviously something if you don't want to talk about it, Alpha. I will find out even if it's the last thing I do.
