Janet's POV
"Wow, is this my room?" I asked Daisy the Alpha's sister out of excitement.
The room was heavenly; the walls were painted red, which was my favorite color; at the end of the room was a bed that was covered with a crisp white down comforter and two satin pillows. Next to the bed, a mahogany nightstand held an alarm clock and an empty glass of water.
Next to the bed was a shelf containing different types of books, and on the other side of the wall were two beautiful paintings.
The bathroom was inside the room too.
"Yes, of course it's your room, or don't you like it?" Daisy asked me.
"I don't like it, but I love it," I said to her excitedly.
"I'm so happy to hear that; I knew that you would love it," she said to me while smiling.
"Let's check out the bed," she said to me while holding my hand.
Once we reached where the bed was, we laid down in it while facing the ceiling.
Wow, the bed was so soft. Only if she knew the last time I slept on a bed, except for last night when I slept in the hospital.
"Thank you, Daisy," I said to her. My voice was filled with gratitude.
"I don't know how I'm going to thank you and the Alpha for all your kindness towards me," I said to her.
"Come on, Janet, don't mention it. Since childhood, I have always wished for a sister, but unfortunately, my parents didn't have the chance of having another girl apart from me before they died," she said to me with a dejected tone.
"You can't imagine the joy I felt when Tyler informed me last night that you were coming over and that you were going to be living with us.
"I hope you will be my sister." She asked me with a babyish tone.
"Yes, of course I will be your sister," I replied immediately while smiling.
"Thanks a lot, Janet," she said to me before hugging me.
"Have you taken a shower this morning?" She asked me after we disengaged from the hug.
"No, I haven't," I replied while shaking my head negatively.
"I think you should because you don't smell good at all, she said to me jokingly.
"I think you are right; I haven't taken a good shower since yesterday," I said to her while smiling.
"Do you have any other clothes to change into after taking your bath?" Daisy asked me.
"No, I don't have," I replied to her.
"Ok, no worries, I will give you some of mine; you will be wearing it in the meantime. Maybe in the afternoon we will go shopping," she said while smiling.
"Ok, thanks a lot, sis," I said to her while heading towards the bathroom.
When I came out of the bathroom, I saw a beautiful gown lying on the bed and, beside it, some body creams and lotions.
Once I saw it, a bright smile escaped my face, and without hesitating, I dried my body with the towel tied around my waist.
After cleaning my body, I applied the body lotion to my skin, which wasn't light anymore due to the fact that I had never applied any body lotion to it for a very long time.
Afterwards, I wore the gown, but I wasn't able to close the back zipper of the gown.
As I was still struggling to close it, I heard a knock on the door, and immediately I heaved a sigh of relief because I knew that it was no one else than Daisy. At least when she comes in, she will help me close the zipper of the gown.
When I went and opened the door, I was surprised to see the Alpha instead.
"Hello Janet, can I come in?" He asked me.
"Yes, of course," I replied while leaving the road for him.
As he entered, I noticed how he was looking at my body, which was slightly showing because I hadn't closed the zipper of the gown completely.
Without hesitating, I started struggling to close the zipper once again because I didn't like how he was staring lustfully at me.
"Can I help you with that?" His voice echoed from behind.
"Yes," I replied, and immediately he approached me and started closing the zipper.
As he was trying to hook up the gown after closing the zipper, his hands touched my shoulder, and immediately I felt a current running through my whole body. Without hesitating, I quickly turned around and gave him an unsure stare.
"What was that for?" I asked him brusquely.
"What?" He asked me with a surprised tone.
"Nevermind," I replied immediately. "Thank you for helping me close the zipper," I said to him while avoiding his gaze.
"Don't mention it, please; the gown really looks good on you," he said to me with a warm smile.
"Thank you," I replied while faking a smile at him.
"Hope you like the room?" He asked me.
"Yes, of course," I replied.
"I'm happy to hear that because Daisy did all she could to ensure that the room would be pleasing to you," he said to me while sitting down on one of the chairs that were inside the room.
"Can I ask you a question, Janet?" He asked me.
"Yes, you," I replied while sitting down on the bed.
"Have you been mated to someone? I mean, do you have a mate?" He asked me, and immediately I furrowed my brows at him.
Why is he asking me about my mate? Does he want to take me as his mate? Let it not be what I'm thinking because I'm not ready for any relationship issues after what I went through at the hands of Tony.
"Janet, are you listening to me?" He asked me, and immediately I jerked back to reality.
"Yes, I'm listening to you," I replied brusquely.
"Actually, I found my mate, but he rejected me," I said to him.
"Ooh, sorry about that," he replied.
"No problem; I have forgotten about it, and what about you?" I asked him.
"Well, I rejected my mate," he said to me without any signs of remorse.
"What!" I exclaimed in surprise.
"It's not what you are thinking, Janet; I rejected her because she cheated on me," he said to me.
"Ooh, at least you had a valid reason to reject her; my mate was the future Alpha of my pack. He rejected me because he thinks that I'm weak," I said to him while trying my best to hide the anger I was feeling inside.
"What? That's not even a valid reason to reject someone," he said to me.
"Well, just as I said earlier, I have forgotten about it," I said to him.
"I understand how you feel, Janet, but what if you find another mate? Will you accept him?" he asked me.
"You already know the answer; it's a capital no. After what I went through at the hands of the future Alpha of Oz pack, I don't think my heart will ever permit me to be someone's mate again," I said to him sincerely.
With that, he smiled slightly at me.
I don't know whatever you went through with your first mate, but the only advice I will give you is not to allow what happened to you in the past to determine what will happen to you in the future," he said to me before standing up.
"Ponder over what I said to you," he said to me while walking towards the exit door.
"Alpha," I called to him as he was about to leave.
"Yes, Janet," he replied while turning towards me.
"I have something important I want to discuss with you," I said to him.
"Ok, what is it about?" he asked me while returning to the chair.
"It's about the reason why I left Oz Pack," I said to him, and immediately he furrowed his brows.
"I thought we had already discussed it in the hospital." He asked me.
"Yes, we did, but I didn't tell you everything," I said to him, and immediately he gave an icy glare.
"I'm aware of that too," he said to me, and immediately I widened my eyes in surprise.
"But how?" I asked him with a shaky tone.
"Maybe you aren't aware of it, but as werewolves, we can easily detect when someone is lying or hiding something just by listening to his heartbeat when he's talking," he said to me while peering into my eyeballs.
"Everything you told me in the hospital was true except for the reason why you ran away from your pack, and that's why I warned you that I would ban you from my pack if I eventually found out that you were lying to me," he said to me while peering into my eyeballs.
With that, my heart started pounding heavily. I started regretting why I didn't tell him the whole truth. I should have just told him the whole truth, just as Leroy had said. He will surely ban me from his pack after I explain everything to him.
"Since you have finally decided to speak up, can you now tell me the terrible thing that you did that made you run away from your pack?" He said this to me while peering directly into my eyeballs.
"I ran away from my pack because I murdered the Alpha," I said to him while avoiding his gaze.
"You did what?" His voice echoed in the room once I broke the news to him.
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
