The Alpha's Obsession

10: Gone

Her head lowered for a moment before she looked away sheepishly.

Submissive.

Before she could blink, I was in front of her. I took the tray of ice and luggage from her hands and nodded towards the door. "Open it."

She searched through her shoulder bag for a moment before pulling out the solid white key card. She hovered it over the sensor for a moment before it clicked open. She pushed open the door and stood against it to let me through.

I purposely brushed against her as I was walking past. I could hear her inhale my scent deeply and I couldn't help the small sense of satisfaction that came over me.

I set down the ice on the dresser and leaned her bag against the wall before turning towards her. She was standing timidly by the door with her head down looking towards her feet.

I took a step towards her and I swore I could see her flinch. Was I that intimidating? "You may look at me." I tried to say it as softly as possibly in hopes of not spooking her any further.

She hesitated in lifting her head but finally she did after a long pause. When I saw her eyes, I couldn't help but to widen mine just slightly. From a distance I thought her eyes were a light shade of blue. Up close, it was clear to see that her eyes were actually a striking light purple.

"Our Alpha didn't tell us that another Alpha was here." She spoke softly. If I had been doing anything else and not giving her my full attention, I would've missed what she said. Her voice was light and airy but it didn't compare to Eva's.

Not even close.

"I'm just visiting is all.." I take another step towards her and I almost sigh in relief when she doesn't flinch. I want to see more of her peculiar eyes. I've never seen anything like them before.

"I see..thank you for helping with my things Alpha. I really appreciate it." I held up my hand to stop her.

"There's no need to thank me. It was the right thing to do. May I ask your name?"

She fiddled with her hands for a moment. She was hesitating. I'm not sure why.

"Lily." The moment she spoke her name, she looked up at me with those sapphire eyes. It was as if she was baring my soul to her. I felt bare and exposed in front of her.

Her eyes seemed to be glowing in a way. I'm not sure why but I felt incredibly drawn to her.

I shook my head and ran a hand through my hair.

Strange.

"I've always wanted to be with an Alpha." Her eyes no longer held the emotion of fear but now filled with desire.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "What?"

She advanced towards me quickly and placed her small palms on my chest. "You're not mated or marked. Are you an Osis?"

I couldn't help but growl at the foul word that left her mouth. An Osis was a term used for wolves that were cursed without a mate by the Moon Goddess. They were outcasted and rejected by the werewolf community.

A spark of fear appeared in her eyes for a moment before the glaze of desire came back.

"You must be so lonely Alpha. I can help with that you know..I'm told I'm very talented in many areas."

Without a moments hesitation, I reached out and quickly snapped her small neck. I watched the life drain from her eyes as she quickly slumped to the ground. Her body instantly turned to ash where it dissipated into thin air.

Fucking Manaras. I hated them. They were disgusting creatures who pretended to feign hurt or need assistance to get males or even females alone. They then proceeded to get them in bed, where they literally suck the victims souls out. I've never seen one try and approach an Alpha before though.

Shaking my head, I stepped over where she had once been and made my way out of the room. I walked to the opposite way of the hallway and entered my cluttered room.

I throw my suitcase onto the bed and toss random articles of clothing that I find into it. Once I've stuck all the clothes in, I zip it up and place it against the wall.

Something was holding me back from leaving and I knew it was her. Why should I stay to endure this pain? She obviously didn't give a damn about me if she was off screwing other guys.

I shook my head and grabbed my suitcase. I'd made my decision. It was time to head home.

Getting back into my sleepy town I called home, was a little more difficult than I thought. The road there was blocked off due to fallen trees and debris. This forced me to have to take an alternative route that look almost 5 hours for a usually 45 minute drive.

When I made it back to the pack, things were quiet as usual. Many people were milling about minding their own business. I noticed many men and some children carrying firewood towards some cabins. That reminded me that I needed some for my spare cabin. I would do that later.

I made my way into the main pack house, smiling at the people who nodded towards me. Swerving to avoid the rambunctious pups in the hall, I headed upstairs to isolate myself. I thank the goddess that we had soundproof walls.

I was almost to my room when my name was shouted out through the pack link. I recognized the voice instantaneously and I couldn't help but to cringe.

Here we go.
