Curves: An Alpha Story

Chapter 7

I sat up slowly, using my arms to drag myself along the ground away from the wolf. I put my back against a tree and bought my knees up to my chest. I could feel tears running down my face. I was terrified.

The wolf drew closer, pushing its chest out and making it's self appear taller. The growls were growing louder and louder, I closed my eyes and waited. This was not how I pictured my night ending.

"Get the fuck away from her" I heard a low deep voice coming from behind the wolf. I opened my eyes searching for the man who had spoken. The wolf turned its head and started moving away like a scared little puppy dog. Shit just keeps getting more and more bizarre.

He came out of the shadows, As he got closer I realised he was naked. I must have passed out, This has got to be a dream, What the hell is happening I repeated in my head over and over again This is not happening, I'm dreaming, Soon ill wake up and I'll be in Ally's bed safe and sound.

"Mine" the naked man growled as he knelt down in front of me. He put his palm against the side of my face, I felt a strange static the second his skin touched mine, it was strong enough to make me close my eyes, but it wasn't painful, if anything it felt..... nice.

"Run to the edge and grab clothes from one of the spots. Wait for Ally while you're there I'll tell her to meet you" The naked man said to the wolf. As if the wolf understood his command it nodded its head and ran in the direction I was headed in before this happened.

"What is your name?" the naked man asked. His voice was smooth and sexy, It was like silk.

"What is your name? And where are your clothes?" I said with a hint of attitude, I was grateful for the darkness at this moment. My face must have been redder than a fire engine, I couldn't completely see his face or any other part of him, but this was still an embarrassing situation.

"Tell me your name" the naked man growled, his hands were resting on my knees, I felt heat radiating from them when he growled.

"Dylan" I whispered. "Dylan Rhymes"

"Dylan" He repeated my name in a whisper; I liked the way it sounded when he said it.

"Are you going to tell me your name? Or shall I just refer to you as "naked man"?" I asked. There was still a hint of attitude in my tone but it felt wrong speaking to him this way, I felt like I should be showing him some respect. He had, after all, just saved me from that wolf.

"My name is Noah" He said as he pulled me up off the ground. "I believe you know my sister, Alison"

"She's my best friend" I nodded clinging to his arms as if I wasn't certain I could hold myself up.

"So Noah, do you make it a habit to run around the woods naked? You know that's a crime right? It's called Indecent exposure" I teased as we headed towards the party.

"Noah? Dyls? Are you out there?" I heard Ally's voice in the distance

"No, my body is always covered, but tonight.....i changed when I saw you" He said, I could hear rustling ahead of me; It must have been Ally coming to find us.

"Changed?" I asked. I was starting to feel weak and a bit dizzy, I must have lost a lot of blood. I had to admit everything was feeling a little surreal. I wouldn't be surprised if I passed out.

"There you are. I've been worried sick about you! What did you think you were doing running off into the freaking woods?" Ally yelled as she stomped over to where I stood and wrapped her arms around me, I was barely able to breath. What was it with people and these bear hugs?

Noah let out a short sharp growl; I think it was directed at Ally. Ally pulled away from me and shoved Noah's chest.

"Put some fucking clothes on" she growled through gritted teeth.

"Come on Dyls, let's get you home" She said as she wrapped her arm around my shoulder and pulled me out of the woods to stand on the patch of lawn beside Doris' house.

"No. I'm taking her to the pack doctor, Her arm is hurt" Noah said as he stepped in front of Ally and I and pulled me into his arms. It was good to see that he had put some shorts and a shirt on. It felt great to be in his arms. He felt so warm and his hold was strong yet gentle. He felt....right.

"What the fuck is wrong with people tonight? Get your hands off my friend, I'm taking her to a hospital and then, I will be taking her home" Ally said, putting a lot of emphasis on the word "I".

Ally reached out to grab me, but Noah moved to stand in front of me, his body was heating up again.

"MINE" he yelled, His voice echoed in the field. If it wasn't for the blearing music in the barn, everyone who was at the party would have heard him.

Ally took a step back, Her mouth was open and she was staring at Noah with a look I could only describe as shock on her face. I wasn't entirely sure what was happening but I had never seen Ally like this before. Noah and Ally must have some sort of crazy sibling rivalry I thought to myself.

"You've got to be kidding me" Ally said shaking her head in disbelief "Your back for five minutes and you.....Dylan's your mate?"

Thank you for reading. I hope it wasn't a disappointment :)
