Alpha Xavier

Chapter 17- News

My head was still pounding from the night before and only increased as I followed behind my mate, through the pack house and out of a door which I had never seen before.

I felt like a group of cats were scratching at the walls of my skull. God I hate cats. If you could hear some of the things they said... Well yeesh.

I looked up at Xaviers tall muscular back, then down to his beautiful ass. How is it fair that this creature has a bigger ass than me? Curse whoever made this man, he was clearly a favourite.

The thought of my best friend spun through my head only increasing the terrible pounding. Was she okay? How did she know I was here?

How could I have gotten so sucked up into this perfect lifestyle that I forget my best friend was waiting for me? I am a terrible person!

Xavier stopped causing me to look up and my train of thought to ride away.

"Hold your breath."

What?

Xavier opened a huge metal door. Suddenly I was gagging as the putrid smell of 30 year old unwashed lady parts and rotting flesh wafted into the air around me, enclosing around my features.

Curse Bella for etching her dirty phrases into my head. Constantly carved in stone in my brain is 'Vagina'. Thank you Bella! Cue the eye roll.

I could feel bile rising in my throat as I leant over and unleashed the contents of my stomach upon the grass.

As I coughed, the sour taste of more vomit came out of my throat and spewed across the grass. How embarrassing.

"Told you to hold your breath," Xavier shrugged, but some concern was evident in his luminous eyes.

"You could've warned me a bit earlier," I coughed, wiping my mouth.

He sighed rolling his eyes, "after you m'lady."

He was really mad.

I walked towards the dark entrance, sticking my tongue out at him while flipping him the bird, "suck it asswipe."

I heard him chuckle, "I'm sure you would rather I 'suck it' somewhere less disgusting, darling."

My cheeks immediately began to grow an unattractive shade of red. Thank god it's dark!
I could feel his warmth behind me as I began to walk down the stairs which was comforting considering this place was freezing. The clanging of metal against the soles of my shoes was all I could hear.

Poor Eleanor! If she's trapped down here, she must feel so scared, and sick; gosh what is that smell?!

I could see a very long passage ahead of me as I reached the bottom step, but it was so dark.

Our breaths were the only noises that could be heard inside the cold dense building.

I felt Xavier lean forward, his chest touching my shoulder, then I heard a click and a light buzzing noise.

Suddenly the entire hallway was lit with a pale yellow light. The lights ran in rectangular strips across the ceiling of a very thin passage, one after another.

My eyes automatically squinted as they got used to the buzzing pale light.

The floor was a solid, smooth grey concrete. It was dusty however there were dark red stains that littered certain areas, staining the surface of the flat solid area.

As the lights came on, dozens upon dozens of faces were seen staring at us. But as soon as their eyes hit Xavier, they backed away out of sight.

The atmosphere of neglect and abandonment was almost tangible.
