Alpha Brutus ✔

5 - denial

Ember Harper's POV:

Peeling my watery eyes open, I instantly noticed a different surrounding. Walls were no longer paled yellow, they were now a dark grey color.

Everything was different, including the bed that i was sleeping on. Thankfully, it was comfortable and warm.

Something I was not used to.

I finally turned to the other side, my muscles stretching painfully in the process. My face fell as soon as I noticed a bulky man sleeping peacefully just a few inches away from me.

His warm skin tone glowed under the sun that was peeking through the white curtains while he laid sprawled on the bed.

Realization came rushing to me, quicker and stronger then expected.

I was laying in bed with a person that had a wolf inside of him. I was destined to be with him.

With a shaky breath, i got off the bed slowly. Escaping was probably my best option, again.

For how long was I going to run?

Stepping on the carpeted floor, I noticed that goosebumps kept creeping up and down my spin, then flowing away to all of my limbs.

I was extremely cold.

Looking into Brutus' closet, I noticed a pale red sweatshirt. It stood out in the sea of black, so it was pretty easy to find.

Knowing that this man would not lack any clothes, i hesitantly took the sweatshirt off the black hanger and pulled it over my thin shirt. As soon as the soft material touched my skin, I felt warmer.

Knowing that my shoes were placed next to the bed, i tip toed my way over there and slipped them on with a slight struggle.

The window was a perfect place to escape through, considering that it was not so far away from the grassy ground.

Just as i was about to open the window, I felt a hand on my upper arm that pulled me back.

Turning around in one shift move, I was now facing Brutus. He looked down at me, his eyes holding pure fury. His eyes darkened, his usual icy greenish eyes were now turned into a darkening storm.

"Where do you think you're going?" He growled, his face getting extremely close to mine.

With a gulp, I tried to step back.

"Talk to me." He growled again, but this time walking closer towards my body. Helpless, I found myself against a grey wall.

"I wanted...out." i mumbled quietly, basically admitting my attempt of escaping.

He snarled, another growl bubbling deep from his throat.

With thundering speed and strength, he pulled me towards him and wrapped his masculine arms about my waist. Breathing heavily i stood my ground stiffly.

Lifting me up as if I was weighting nothing, he brought me back to bed. Due to his sudden movement, my body flinched instinctively. He sat down, me still rested in his arms.
