For The Love of An Alpha

Desirable

Jay's ears continued to ring softly, as the fog lifted from her head.

How did that happen? Her mind reached out to her only friend.

That smell, the safety... Scarlet's voice was longing, and Jay suddenly felt the hunger within her again. That desire to be as close to that scent as possible.

How did a smell do that to us? Lettie, what's going on? Her words laced in anger, it was irresponsible of them.

It's ours, Jay, we have to claim what's ours! Scarlet's tone was hungry and edgy as Jay became more aware of her surroundings. She remained still, as her nostrils filled with that scent once more, warm maple and oak. The caves she used to hide in as a child coming to her memory. The calm that smell brought with it, the comfort it naturally held. She realized then what was happening, and she tried to deny it. She was a loan wolf, a huntress in the purest sense. She couldn't be subdued by a smell, or bewitched by some trick.

Her eyes began to open, even though they fought with her to move. She acknowledged the sound of a seat creaking beside her. A form was there, coming into focus slowly as her eyes began to clear. The pain in her head slowly fading away from her. The man stood over her, his hair was dark brown, nearly raven colored. The lighting in the room showing the brown highlights that lingered amidst the dark locks. His hair was relatively short, coming to just above the ear and fading down to a short buzz on the sides. His ice blue eyes and high cheek bones gave his face the sharp features of a two edged sword. His jawline strong and bringing the cheek bones to a beautiful juncture. Jay took in the sight of his lips, nearly kissable, with a plumpness to them that called out to her. His long lashes moved as he blinked, considering the woman before him. His broad shoulders moved as he took in a deep breath. His nostrils flared as they filled with Jay's scent. His muscular arms shown through the loose t-shirt he wore. The faint outline of his pecks could be seen as his lungs filled with air. His long fingers came slowly and wrapped about Jay's right hand. His tan skin appearing pale in comparison to the sun kissed woman before him. Jay moved to lift from the bed as his hand touched hers.

"No," he said it calmly, "stay put. You hit your head hard."

Jay's eyes met his and it took everything within her to hold herself back from him. What is coming over me?

The door to her room swung open widely, the man from the clearing rushing in. Suddenly and with great force, Jay pushed herself into the air from her bed. Her IV pulled from her hand and the bed she was in slammed into the wall opposite the door. Her feet landed firmly on the ground and her eyes narrowed, growling heavily at the man who entered the room. The gown they had put on her naked form, fell to the ground and the man at the door froze. A challenge of authority was bristling in the air and he growled back at the girl. Jay set her jaw and growled back, her blood boiled and her eyes flashing hints of dark purple swirls as she released a growl that came up from the depths of her soul. She would not be taken in by this threat. The sound of blood dripping from her left hand could be heard faintly.

"Eli!" the man from her bedside spoke up, "Out!"

"Alpha?" He growled out, his eyes not leaving the woman that stood between him and his leader.

"OUT!" The alpha roar that came from him sent the man out the door quickly.

Jay's breathing slowed, her eyes scanned the room. She tried to recall how she got out of her bed, how she moved to where she was. Running it through her head, she turned to see her body shielding the man that once stood at her bedside. She met his blue eyes and a peace washed over her. How had this man enthralled her so easily. He smiled softly and moved to put a hand on Jay's shoulder, she flinched away and he froze. She waited patiently, trying to discern his motives. Several moments passed by, neither moving. The man's hand hovered in the air, waiting for the approval to touch this amazing wolf that stood before him. His eyes didn't wander over her body, they held her gaze. She met his gaze openly, not backing down. Jay's mind began to think about what his touch would feel like, thoughts began to enter her mind of his hands roaming her body and Scarlet began to prance around in her mind. It was obvious that Scarlet liked this male. Jay's head nodded once, slightly, but the male didn't miss it. His hand touched her shoulder and Jay felt comfort she couldn't explain.
