The King

chapter 10

Please leave comments! Its hard to know if I'm doing good or not while writing this story because no one really comments.

I wiped the corner of my mouth, "I am so sorry I didn't mean to-" I gagged once more, my hand coming up to cover my mouth. "Bathroom," I stated, not going to be able to hold in my vomit for much longer.

His eyes opened wide, "Shit shit shit shit." He looked around, his head whipping around in multiple directions. He held my arm while he dragged me to the nearest room.

He pushed open the door and I heard a woman yell. He obviously didn't pay her much attention as he walked over the bathroom in her room with me in tow.

He stood in front of the door and opened it, hastily shoving me inside carefully. I immediately collapsed on the floor when he let go of me and dragged myself to the toilet, where I emptied my stomach of its contents.

I was too busy being occupied with puking I didn't fell the soft touch of someone pull my hair back and out of my face, while one hand rubbed circles on my back.

I coughed once more into the toilet and rested my head on the lid, not carrying about how unsanitary it was at that moment.

The person behind me shifted, "Zeke, what the fuck did you do?" and that was the last thing I heard before passing out on the toilet and falling into the bowl.

I woke up with a cold sweat, I was so positive that this whole thing was a dream, but the three faces in front of me told me otherwise. I quickly sat up, which resulted in Lucas, Zeke and the woman whose bathroom I threw up in, to get up.

The woman was closer to me than the rest of them and she walked over quickly and put her hand on my shoulder. I flinched and pulled my shoulder away from her touch. I looked down and noticed that I wasn't in my dress from the club anymore but in a long gray shirt, which had wet spots on it from my damp hair.

The woman's hand floated in the air as she was shocked that I pulled away. She turned her head and faced the two men who were looking down at me.

"Penny, Zeke. Can you leave me alone with Dawn for a second." Lucas. I think his name was Lucas, said, clearing the room of its silence

My eyes darted at their faces, my hands bunched up the blanket. "Don't leave me alone with him!" I whispered.

Hurt filled his eyes, as his mouth fell open at my statement of not wanting to be in the same room as him. Penny and Zeke, both froze. Unsure of what to do.

Lucas ran his finger through his hair, exhaling slowly from his mouth. When neither of them moved, he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Penny" He gritted out. "Zeke. When your Alpha gives a command you follow it."

To which Penny scoffed. "When our Luna gives a command we abide by it also."

Zeke rolled his eyes, "Penny, not now." He grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out of the room. She didn't protest but threw Lucas a smirk.

He rolled his eyes and started walking over to my fully awake form.

I quickly pointed my finger at him. "Stay back." I warned.

He was taken aback, frustration evident on his face. "Didn't your parents ever tell you its rude to point?" He crossed his arms.

My eyes instantly wet, but I didn't dare cry in front of him again. He noticed my teary eyes and sighed. He just couldn't seem to say the right thing to me.

He sat down on the foot of the bed, which resulted in me pulling my feet up to my chest, the blanket fell off and my legs were exposed. His bright green eyes shifted from their state to the black pits. He stared for a hot second before he shifted his gaze, clearing his throat.

At the fastest speed I could muster, I covered up my bare legs. My cheeks flushed, as I looked down in embarrassment.

He cleared his throat, his fingers intertwined with each other. "About this morning-" His eyes never shifting from my gaze, we continued staring at each other until I broke it to shut my eyes. Already feeling my tears pooling up.

"I need you to tell me what that man did to you." He added.

I looked up at him, studying his sincere face as he looked back at me. "Why, Lucas?"

His eyebrows furrowed, "You know my name? How?" He said ignoring my question.

I was quiet for a second. "Your... Zeke told me." I said, not knowing his relationship to the cup man.

He laughed quietly, "My Zeke?" He raised one eyebrow.

I nodded, not knowing their relationship.

He stopped laughing but the smile still remained on his face, "My beta. He's my beta."

"Beta?" I asked confusedly.

The logical side of my brain that kept telling me that this wasn't good, I'm sitting on a bed god knows where with god knows who. I needed to get back home to my Mandy.

I cleared my throat, after a moment of deliberation. Sitting up straighter. "So..." I started. "Can I go home now?" I asked, peering at him.

His smile slowly left his face, and a grimace took over. "I can't let you leave, Dawn."

Panicked thoughts infiltrated my mind, calm down Dawn. Calm down. I took a large inhale before continuing. "Why can I not leave?"

His eyes flickered to mine before they went to his intertwined fingers. "It's not that I want to keep you here for no reason, it's just that." He entwined his fingers and brought his hand up and scratched the back of his neck. "It's not safe for you out there."

I felt my face pale. "What do you mean it's not safe?" I whispered part of me yearning for the answer.

He sighed, "Its about time I tell you about my world."
