The Cursed Alpha

(20) Close as strangers

chapter 20 (EDITED)

Close as strangers

I  wake up to the sun shining warmly down at me, I stretch my limbs under the covers enjoying the soft sheets and the warmth the blankets were providing. 

I slept like a baby last night,  I always thought the saying was weird, sleeping like a baby? what did that even mean?

 I will tell you! it means getting the best sleep in your life! 

I didn't even get up to pee like I usually do! and my leg felt better, I sit up and remove the white cloth that was neatly tied to see that there was no scar, no stab wound, it completely healed! 

I frown, that means the rogue is dead. 

Even though he attacked me and tried to eat me it was still my fault for wondering in the woods and getting lost. I killed him. He can't help it that he is a wild animal it's the curse that did that to him. 

I sit on the bed for a few minutes just staring at the window lost in thought, thinking about the curse and the nightwalkers alphas. 

Even though I don't know them that well I don't think they're bad as everyone says, yes they're killer rogues but they're good people, does that make sense? no it doesn't. 

I walk to the bathroom and turn the tab on, today I'm going to take bath, I deserve it. I grab my brush and brush my teeth looking at myself in the mirror. I looked better then I did my first week here, the eye bags disappeared-

 I notice the healed mark on the nape of my neck before it was just looked like a deep bloody bite mark but now it took a weird shape and colour, it was white almost transparent. 

I graze my fingers against the mark there's a sudden jolt of pain which makes me groan but it kind of felt good. Really good! 

 I touch it again and the pain is there but it's good pain..is there such thing as good pain? I'm losing my mind! 

 I walk to the cabinets and open them searching for some sort of bath soap, a bubble bath will be nice but I find nothing! of course, Andrés doesn't take bubble baths.

 I laugh when  picture of the alpha in bubble bath comes to mind. 

I walk to turn the tab off when I spot a purple bottle beside shiny clawfoot front leg of the bathtub, that's weird it wasn't there before.

 I open the cap to smell it and surprisingly it smelled really good. I pour it in and splash my hand around the water to create the foam. 

 "I should get my clothes ready" I remind myself.

I walk to my closet and grab a few things, bra, underwear, grey sweater, black leggings. the most comfortable clothing I can find. 

I walk back to the bathroom and lock the door and start my long bath. " oh, every day you feel a bit further away and I don't know what to say"I sing closing my eyes and letting the hot water do its magic 

" are we wasting time? talking on a broken? telling you I haven't seen my face in ages" 

"I feel like we're close as strangers" 

- A Few Hours Later- 

I continue to hum the song as I make my way downstairs I can hear  boiling water, chopping of vegetables meaning Cameron was here. 

"morning" I smile walking in 

" good afternoon princess" Cameron smirks pointing to the giant clock above the oven that read 3:30.
