LILLY'S POV Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

I wake up in an unknown place not knowing where I am clean and smell like lavender with a pair of grey sweatpants and a t-shirt on. I jump up off the bed and start planning my escape. That's when I see Jayden smiling at me.

“Yay you're awake I was so worried about you my daddy left me visit with you every day.”

“You came and visited me every day that was so thoughtful of you how long have I been sleeping for.”

“A lot of days I was wondering if you were ever going to wake up it took forever.”

“Where is your father at?”

“He is upstairs, why do you want him for?”

“I just need to ask him something. I'll be right back ok.”

I go to find the Alpha . I don't want to create any issues. I know that he does not want me to be here. He made that very clear in the woods. As I'm walking up the stairs I don't hear anything. I see the first door, it's closed, so I knock when I don't hear anything I go to open the door. My God, my mouth drops, the Alpha is standing there naked. Just by looking at him fire lights up inside me wanting him. I can't stop staring, he is such a beautiful man fuck.

“Hello, what are you doing in my room?” he says as he is snapping his fingers at me, I then snap out of my gaze embarrassed and spin around. “I'm so sorry I didn't mean to interpret you, I just wanted to talk to you.”

“Why don't you go ahead downstairs and I will be down after I get dressed.”

I turn around and look at him “yeah that will be fine I'll wait in the dining room.” I then realize I am looking at him naked again. I go to turn around a hit my face off the door fuck that hurt I smile at him “oops” so embarrassing I can't believe that I just did that.

I don't walk down the stairs I run down the stairs away from him so embarrassing saying to myself what just happened. God, I humiliated myself. I can't believe that I acted that way towards him damn it just had to be no one else other than the freaking Alpha what is wrong with me.

“Jayden runs over to me. What happened to your head?”

I look at him, “what are you talking about?”

“Your head is bleeding.” Of course my head is bleeding, damn it, I'm such a fool.

“Hey buddy could you be a big help and run to the kitchen and get me a towel for my head please.”

“Okay I'll be right back,” he smiles at me.

“Thank you so much buddy I really appreciate it.”

I feel so dumb I can not believe the way I acted in front of the Alpha. I know that he doesn't like me as it is, I bet that was just icing on the cake for him. I see sweet Jayden running back with a towel he hands it to me “thank you buddy you're probably my only friend.”

I put the towel on my head, then I see the Alpha coming downstairs. I jump to my feet nervously wanting to be respectful. I stand only to fall as he catches me. “I'm so sorry I didn't mean to fall on you” as I look into his eyes I see so much sadness wondering what has happened to him.

“Are you going to make a habit out of invading my space?”

“Look ill be right out of your hair I just wanted to know how long I have been out for.”

“You have been out for about 2 weeks, you don't have to leave, you just need to respect boundaries.”

“Look, that was all an accident I did not mean to stare at you and tripping I'm just clumsy.”

“We do need to talk alone. I'm going to call the nanny to come and get Jayden, so we can talk alone.”

“Well would I be able to get a shower if you don't mind, I think it has been a little awhile since I have gotten one.”

“That is fine you can use my shower in my bedroom just don't touch anything.”

“Thank you I need a towel and washcloth and some clothes too.”

“Is there anything else I can get you.”

“No, that will be it, thank you so much.”

“Lilly will you be here when I come back.”

“Jayden I won't leave without saying goodbye first I promise.”

“You pinky swear cross your heart.”

“Yes buddy, I pinky swear cross my heart.”

Ok, well I'm going to shower thank you for everything I really appreciate. I walk up the stairs to his bedroom. I try not to look or touch anything. I just go straight into the bathroom. I start the water to let it warm. I take my clothes off looking for the scar from my attack, but nothing. I have never gotten a scar in my life, but the way the bear ripped into my side I don't know I didn't get one. I go and get in the shower as my body is relaxing from the warm pouring over top of me. I wash myself, but I stay in longer, loving the way the water is making me feel.

I hear a knock at the door “can you hurry up? I don't have all day waiting around for you.”

“Yes I will get out now sorry I was enjoying the water.” I go to look out, notice that I am talking to myself that know one is there.”

Well then he is a real gem sort of dick if you ask me, I won't allow him to treat me this way I really don't know who the hell he thinks he is. I get out of the shower to dry myself and get dressed as soon as I open the door I see him.

“Where you really staying outside the door waiting for me to finish?”

“Yes we need to talk about what your plan is.”

“I don't have a plan, just going with it.”

“Why were you alone in the woods what brought you to my territory.”

I want to tell him the truth, but I don't know him, I don't know if I can trust him. I don't know what to say to him, I can't tell him the truth.

“I left my pack and ended up hearing Jayden yelling for help, so I went to him and saw a bear that was ready to attack . I scared it away then you came along.”

“What pack were you a part of.”

“I'm not sure if you need to know that.”

“If you wish to be a part of my pack I want to know if you are going to bring trouble with you.”

“I don't want to be a part of your pack, so you don't have to worry.”

“Why don't you want to be a part of my pack what do you find that you do not like.”

“I don't want to belong to anybody, I just want to be free, I don't want to be a part of a pack that just wants to control me.”

“You know if you're not a part of a pack that your Wolf could turn vicious.”

“I haven't been part of a pack for weeks now, and I feel just fine. I don't want to be held hostage and not be allowed to do what I want.”

Someone walks into the Room I don't recognize them, it's an older gentleman.

“Alpha Landon, can I talk to you for a minute,” please, the man says?

My God his name is Landon just like my brother is this a sign that maybe I am supposed to be here. I don't want to be forced to do things that I don't want to do, I just want to be free. I don't know what I am supposed to do in this world, I'm just searching for answers not wanting to be tied down by anyone. Star comes in and says “he seems really nice Lilly, maybe you should give him a chance we don't have to become apart from his pack. It would just be nice to have somewhere to stay in till we figure out our plan.” I agree, but I don't want to get no attachments. The Alpha walks back in the room and says.

“Look Lilly if you don't want to stay that is your choice but if you wouldn't mind staying for at least a week for your injuries to fully heal.”

“OK, I will stay. I will follow your rules, but I am not a puppet on a string that you can control just know that.”

“I don't try to control anybody and just so you know that all I want to do as an Alpha is to protect my pack and that all that matters to me.”
