Chapter Twenty
The only thing I could use in the room to defend myself was the clock on the bedside table next to me.
I slowly slid my hands up the bed so it was resting near the end of the bed instead of near my body. I couldn't reach the clock easily from here but it was better than nothing.
Whoever was in my room approached my bed slowly and I tried my best to act as if I was sleeping. I even left out a fake snore and shifted my body slightly so I was on my side. That would make it easier for me to grab the clock if I needed to.
The person in the room stopped and it was silent for a few seconds. I continued to pretend I was asleep and prayed that Cami remained asleep. Last thing she needed was to wake up and find some creep looming over her.
The person came closer and I squeezed the bedsheet under my palm, trying my best not to panic.
What would they do to us? Attack us in our sleep? I would die before I let anything happen to Cami again, she had been through enough.
I felt someone graze their fingers across my face gently before moving down to my neck. The touch was as light as a feather and they continued to stroke my neck softly. After a minute or so and I heard a rustling noise and I cracked my eyes open slightly trying to see who it was.
I don't know why I thought this but I had a feeling it was Alpha Alessandro which made no sense. Why would he visit me in the middle of the night and why was he touching my neck? Was he here to see his handy work?
I closed my eyes fully as the person leaned towards me. The feeling of something cold had me flinching slightly and I praised myself for not making a noise. The person stopped for a few seconds before massaging the cool substance on my neck. It was soothing and actually felt good. After a minute or so the person stopped and leaned away from me.
I felt their burning gaze on my face and I was tempted to open my eyes and see who it was but I knew that wouldn't be a good idea. When I heard the person begin to walk away, I opened my eyes slightly so I could see who it was, it was dark and I couldn't make out who it was but it was definitely a male based on their height and broad shoulders.
The light from the hallway entered the room when the man opened the door and my mouth dropped when I saw who it was. The man turned around and I closed my eyes, hoping that he didn't noticed that I was awake.
After a couple of seconds, he closed the door and I let out a shaky breath and put my hand on my chest, trying to calm my racing heart.
Why was Alpha Alessandro in my room and why did he put something on my neck? I waited a few minutes to make sure no one else entered the room before I slowly crept out of bed.
I tiptoed over to the bathroom, opened the door and turned the switched on the light. My eyes burned as the room turned bright and I squinted as I went over to the mirror.
I looked at my neck, it was slightly redder than the rest of my body and it had a clear substance on it. I touched the jellylike substance and brought it to my nose so I could smell what it was. It smelt like aloe vera gel and I wiped it off my fingers with some tissues.
I switched the light off and closed the door slowly behind me, careful not to make any noise. Once I got into bed and closed my eyes my mind wandered to Alpha Alessandro again.
Why was he in our room? What did he put on my neck? Why did he put it on my neck? What was going on?
I was so confused and exhausted, both physically and mentally. I needed to rest my mind and that's what I did for the next few hours.

The sound of an alarm next to my ear had me groaning and pulling the duvet up to my head. I was so tired, I barely had enough energy to turn the alarm off.
"Turn it off Nala." Cami moaned from beside me.
Letting out a huge sigh, I lifted the duvet up and turned the incessant alarm off. I sat up and placed my head in my hands as I realised how hard today would be. I couldn't believe we were in Alpha Alessandro's pack and we were going to be his maid, the whole thing was baffling.
I was grateful that he wasn't torturing the information out of us but I still wanted to know why he wasn't doing that and what he had on us. Lisa said they had evidence, what kind of evidence?
We were so careful and tried our best to destroy everything that incriminated us. Maybe someone saw him following Cami, or on out street or even forcing his way into our house? Another thought popped into my head and I froze for a second.
Maybe it was the creep? The one who had been following us. Did he tell the Alpha what he knew? He can't have, we would be dead if he had.
"I don't want to get out of bed." Cami whispered from under the covers.
I pulled the covers away from her face. "I don't think we have a choice. Let's just do what they say."
"I'm scared Nala."
Me too.
Before I could say anything else there was a knock on the door. Both Cami and I stared at each other before looking at the door. The door swung open and in stepped a young woman pulling a suitcase.
"Is that my suitcase?" I asked her as I inspected it further, it looked like the one we had abandoned yesterday when we were captured.
The woman ignored me and put the suitcase near the bed before walking off.
"Wait!" I called out causing her to stop. "Where's Cami's suitcase?"
"I have been asked to bring this in, I don't know where your other suitcases are." The woman replied as she walked off quickly, closing the door behind her.
"They know what happened! That's why they only brought your suitcase in, you're going to stay here and they're going to kill me." Cami whispered as her breath started to get uneven.
"What? How did you even come up with that?" I pulled her up so she was sitting on the bed instead of lying on it. "How many times do I have to tell you, you're going to be okay. I won't let anything happen to you."
Cami narrowed her eyes and squinted. "What happened to your neck? Why is it red?"
I touched my neck and pretended to give it a scratch. "It's a rash, I noticed it last night. I must be allergic to Werewolves." I laughed slightly trying to ease the tension.
Cami didn't look like she believed me and before she could press me further I began to speak. "Have a shower, it'll help you relax. You can use one of my towels." I unzipped my suitcases and rumbled through it. I grabbed what some clothes for me and Cami and tossed it over to her.
Cami followed my instructions without protesting and headed over to the bathroom. After I heard the shower come on, I began tidying up the bed before heading over to the window. I opened it up slightly for some fresh air and looked out of it.
From this room there wasn't much of a view, all I could see was the dark, gloomy forest. As I stared out the window I thought of something, there wasn't anyone around, maybe we could escape from here. The ground wasn't too high from the window, we obviously couldn't jump down but maybe we could use something. You see it in the movies, people ripping up bedsheets, tying them up and climbing down them, maybe we could do that?
Two shirtless men stepped out of the forest and looked straight at me causing me to duck down.
Okay, maybe that wouldn't work.
I lifted my head up to find both men still standing there but no longer looking up at the window. I watched as more men came out from the forest, talking quietly amongst themselves. They stopped at the edge of the forest and looked as if they were waiting for something.
After less than a minute more men began to emerge but this time it looked like they were leaving the house. I watched as they briefly interacted with each other before the men who came from the house entered the forest while the others made their way to the house.
They must be the Werewolves Lisa was talking about, the ones that patrol the grounds. There was no way we were getting past them, there was too many of them. Plus running into a forest wasn't the best idea, anything could happen in there.
I continued to stare out the window to distract myself from the urge to use the toilet, if I was at home I would have told Cami to hurry up but I didn't want to make any sudden noise and startle her. After what felt like forever, Cami exited the bathroom and I ran in.
"I need to pee! Wear one of my clothes except for the ones I put on the bed, I'm going to wear that." I told her as I sprinted into the bathroom.
After I relieved myself I stripped my clothes off and headed into the shower. As soon as I did that, I realised that I didn't bring my towel or clothes with me but I was already wet and would just ask Cami to bring it in after I was done.
After what felt like the quickest shower possible, I turned the water off and looked at the towels that were hanging on the rack. They looked clean but I didn't want to risk it.
"Cami!" I yelled out as I walked over to the door, water dripping everywhere. "Can you pass me the towel?"
I was met by silence.
"Cami? Are you there?" I shouted, my voice louder this time.
I was greeted with silence again.
My heart began to race as I stared at the door. Why isn't she answering? Is she not there? If she's not there, where is she?
I looked back at the towels and grabbed one. I quickly dried myself and wrapped it around me. Even though I wasn't dirty I felt like I needed another shower. Just as I was about to open the door, I heard some noise and it sounded like someone was entering the room.
I pulled the door open aggressively. "Why did you leave the ro-" I froze when I realised it wasn't Cami who entered the room.
It was the Alpha Alessandro.
