A Pure Hearted Mate

Chapter 3: Alone

After I was taken away from the truck and was roughly taken to a room in what seemed more on the lines of a big cabin house in a part that had less forest surrounding it. Once I was put in the door closed before I could even turn my head to react. I feel like I'm being treated more like a prisoner being thrown into a cell and feeling the silence was almost unnatural.

I looked around the room and tried to take it in, since I am locked in here I kinda have no choice. I held onto my straps of my duffel bag with my hands as I slowly took a few steps as I observed. The room had white tile floors and black walls, with a ceiling that was almost juxtaposed to the floors. The room seemed to be multi-functional then just as a bedroom. I noticed the only things on the walls was a TV screen and a banner that seemed to have the Black Sun pack symbol on it. The symbol seemed to resemble an eclipse but as I drew my attention away from it, I noticed that to the left of it seemed to be a door and one to the right of it. I opened the door on the left slightly and then noticed it was Leo's closet. It had mostly normal t-shirts of white, black, and grey. I noticed a couple were actually golden colored. It seemed less luxurious and extravagant. It was more modest than you'd expect but then I still remembered that this bedroom still seemed like a expensive sweet.

 I closed the closet because I just want to leave everything the way it is, since this isn't my room and I don't want anything to make Leo have a reason to be mad at me. As an Alpha, no as a person in general I have to respect their personal space and things. The room had a couch that was kinda like a sofa, in the corner was what looked like huge king-sized bed. It had white pillows and sheets. In the corner of the room looked like a desk that had a lot of papers and a couple stacks of books at the base. I walked through the open door on the left of the desk and noticed I had walked into a bathroom. It had a stand in glass shower with black tiling on the floor and sides of it. There was a black tub, the floors had grey tiling and white walls. The sink top was the same black as the shower.  This bathroom only made his bedroom a lot more than what most people could get and it made me feel more out of place. Once I walked out of it and realized that I had delayed my thoughts and feelings as much as I could. There was nothing left to distract me from the differences between here and home.

I feel so exposed in this room and I can't run away from this place. I feel like I just want to disappear from this place, this moment, and from what is to await me. I slowly walked to the sofa and sat down holding my bag in my arms. I kept my head down trying not to look at what was inside as I waited for when Leo would return. Before I knew it I herd the door start to unlock and I herd the door opened. I kept my eyes looking down at my feet, because I was nervous to look up. I herd him close the door and he walked in front of me. I didn't say a word, I wasn't having a problem with being submissive. Because this probably how I'd react if I had met him in any other situation. He's an Alpha, so naturally I'm fairly worried.

He didn't say anything for a while as I could feel him staring down at me from above which didn't help make me feel better at all. But then I felt a hand touch my cheek. This startled me as it moved to lift my chin up making me look up at Alpha Leo. I felt my face starting to heat up from embarrassment. He seemed to be looking at my face almost intently which made me very self-conscious and confused.

" What's your name? " he asked almost like a request but his stern voice made it seem more like an order.

" My name is Autumn Miller,..I'm from...the Blue Moon pack. " I said quietly as I grasped onto my bag trying to keep my eyes down from looking at him in the eye. But then I felt him slowly release my face letting me lower it.

" Well Autumn, I'm truly thankful to the Moon Goddess for sending me my mate. " I didn't look at his face but I could hear a genuinely thankful tone in his voice which caught me by surprise a little. I tried not to show my face heating up slightly when he said the word mate. I did remember that mates could reject each other, and you'd think that I'd be happy at the possibility of him not wanting me and me being able to be free. No matter how much I wish I can just be rejected and go back to my life and be with my family. Have a chance to never be picked after that and I can have control over my life, and have a chance to really fall in love with someone and find happiness. Like with how despite my mother being put threw this she still was able to find my Dad and be happy. I want that chance, and the chance for my family to be a part of my happiness, but based on that statement and the fact that he holds his religious beliefs so strongly that that was not going to happen. A part of me liked the idea of someone wanting me, but that made the idea of being free with the same painful thought. Because I didn't think anyone human or not would want me in a relationship sense, so it only made the idea of having a life with someone else an already given up dream after hearing those words.
