At The Beta's Command

Chapter 6

Chapter 6:

 “You can crash at the empty room down the hall. It’s the last door on the right. Well, not crash but actually stay or live for a couple of days.” Sam pointed once we finished putting away the dishes after dinner. I think I just lost my appetite after what Ashton said. So I stick to a large cup of coffee and some chips.

“I’m sorry Amber, but we really need to follow Ashton’s commands.” She said apologetically noticing my sadness and quietness. I haven’t talked a single word since Ashton leave, all I think about is how to escape here at the pit of the forest in the house of the werewolves. Sam seems nice and all but still she’s a wolf, if I ever get to her bad side I don’t know what could happen to me. She can literally shed me to pieces.

 “Is he, ahmm…” I started feeling a lump on my throat caused by not speaking for long. I cleared my throat and tried again. “I mean is he the Alpha here?” I asked.

 “No, he is Beta. Jaden is the Alpha and Nico is third in command. But when it comes to decisions Jayden always trust Ashton and lets him lead most of the time.” She answered. So the Alpha is under the Beta’s command, so sweet. Jaden looks friendlier than Ashton. Sigh.

 “I’ll go to the room and try to have some rest.” I said anxiously.

I entered the room Sam pointed and switched on the lights. I was surprised to see a huge room with king sized bed at the center covered with light blue drapes. There’s a door which I guess is the bathroom and another for a walk-in closet. If I weren’t held hostage in this place I could have jumped for joy already having my own walk-in closet, which girl didn’t dream of that? I entered the walk-in closet and saw nothing but a crème painted walls and beige painted drawers, a vanity table and a full length mirror. A knock on the door surprised me and Sam appeared from the door way.

“Hey, I brought some clothes for you, it’s mine and I hope it fits. I’ll ask Nico to take me to the town to do some shopping for you first thing in the morning.” She said. I walk up to her and get the clothes placing them neatly to the bed. “Thank you” I said smiling gratefully. She smiled back and leaves to give me some needed privacy.

I picked the clothes and decided to have a shower. My hair was a mess and I was covered with dirt. After a long shower I put on the clothes that Sam gave and sighed. She gave me shorts, short-shorts, a pink short-shorts to match a pink flowery tank top! Have I ever told you that I don’t do pink? But I guess I don’t have a choice here. I sighed for the millionth time and got out of the bathroom. The bed was incredibly soft with matching baby blue sheets and pillows with butterfly designs. I was dead tired from all the events of today that I slowly felt my eyes getting heavy and the next thing I know I was out of it and darkness took over.

Birds chirping and trees are trashing melodically. A ray of light touched my face and it caused me to open my eyes but shut it quickly at the sudden attack of light. I took a deep breath and slowly opened my eyes again blinking a few times to get used to the light. A small clock at the bedside table showed that the time is seven fifteen. I was weirded by the unfamiliar surroundings and remembered yesterday’s events. Oh shoot! And here I am hoping that it was all a dream. A bad dream. I stretched my arms and decided to start the day, my first day with the wolves, great.

I went to the bathroom and washed my face, I saw an unused toothbrush at the sink and brushed my teeth, Sam must’ve put it here. I brushed my hair and tied it into a ponytail and walked out the room.  Strong aroma of coffee hits my nose the moment I entered the living room. There I saw the men having coffee and I smell bacon and pancakes from the kitchen. Looks like Sam is cooking for breakfast. How she managed to stay with these men is still a question to me. Ashton must have felt me and he looked straight to my eyes, holding me captured with his gaze and beautiful ocean blue eyes. From his left Jaden looked at me and the others followed.
