Chapter 4

Jane P.O.V.

Walking in the bathroom to get some water, when the scent was overwhelming. I figured that was the shampoo that the Alpha used who stays in this room. I started cleaning the shower bathroom while I was filling a bucket so I could mop the floor. After cleaning all the rooms on the second floor I heard noises from the hallway. I walked to the backstairs to hide behind the bookcase there and waited until it was silent again. After a few minutes of silence, I walked down to the first floor. I still waited at the stairs for about 20 minutes longer.

No one came or went from the rooms while I was waiting, so that was the sign the coast was really clear and I could go ahead with cleaning the rooms on this floor. In almost every room I had to do the same cleaning chores. Only the rooms that didn’t get used I skippet because they were still clean from yesterday. Mopping the floors, making the beds, tidy up the bathrooms again and make sure everything was tied up in the rooms so it looked like no one had slept there.

After finishing I walked back down the stairs to the kitchen and dinner room to start cleaning up there. I realized that there was an awkward silence in the house. That was my cue to get started at cleaning up everything downstairs without anyone seeing me.

As I was walking in the dinner room, I could see there where some leftover. I jumped out of joy; I could eat some extra too before I clean everything.

About an hour and a half later everything was tied up again and I got something to eat. I didn’t feel that weak anymore. For now, I would have enough food in my body to last at least a couple of days. After putting the last dishes in the dishwasher and back in the cabinets I walked out the door and took a deep breath. Being in the house for that long again made me unhappy. My parents would be at the packhouse all day so I knew I didn’t have any other tasks for today.

When walking I could feel the little breeze down my back and I enjoyed the soothing feeling. I thought about going home but I took the risk for taking a detour, a punishment was unavoidable anyway.

I set down by the lake where I walked to and started staring at the water, debating with myself to go for a swim. There was no one around for what I could tell, so that didn’t matter. I looked around again and started taking off my clothes. While walking to the water I thought about the fact that the lake will at least get my body a little clean. I didn’t have a shower for 3 days. It was like my body was covert in sweat and dirt. The moment I was deep enough that no one could see my body I started to relax a little.

If my parents knew I was doing this, I will for sure get some more beatings. Only the knowledge of them at the Packhouse give me the rest I needed in my head to just enjoy the water around me. I let myself float on the water to completely relax myself. Just flooding in the water was all I needed right now.

I shocked when I heard rustling in the bushes by the water. I looked at the direction where the noise came from and saw that Patrick was there. Patrick is an unmated man of our Pack and always very rootless against me when having his way. I know I had to get out of the water and give it to him, if I didn’t, he would definitely tell my parents. With some struggles in my mind, I swim to the side, close to where my clothes were.

The minute I walked out of the water, he grabs me by my arm and shoved me on the ground. I felt on my back and the pain was almost unbearable. He roughly pushed my legs apart so that my entrance was clearly visible. He got on his knees and without any hesitation or warning he penetrated me with all his force. I let out a scream and right away I got a slap in the face for making noise. After banging a while in me I could feel he wasn’t done for a while.

I closed my eyes trying to hold back all my tears and hoping it was over soon, hoping he will get his release. The banging made the grass feel like claws on my back. Then suddenly I felt him roughly getting out and I could hear him scream. I opened my eyes and saw the biggest black wolf I have ever seen. The wolf had dragged Patrick across the grass with his arm in the wolfs mouth. Then I heard a snap and I knew that Patrick was seriously injured by the wolf. I froze on the spot, what was this wolf doing here, why was he helping me out.

What does he want, is he going to injure me as well? He didn’t look like the wolfs from our own pack. They were a lot smaller. The wolf walked to me, I just stood there unable to move. Then the wolf stopped right before me and looked at me. Then it hit me, that same scent from the room at the guesthouse, this is the wolf of the Alpha that was sleeping in that room.

I couldn’t believe myself, how is it possible that I could smell his scent. I couldn’t even smell the scent of my own parents, or our Alpha. The wolf moved and took my clothes of the ground only to put them right before me on the ground again. Quickly I put on my clothes while trying not to blush or get to scared. I looked at the wolf and bowed deeply. “Thank you Alpha.” I turned around and walked to the forest, I was going home.

I didn’t even look back at what the wolf would do or what happened to Patrick, the only things that were on my mind right now were; How could I smell his scents, That Alpha just injured someone without explanation and what if my parents found out about this. After a while I started running, I could see the house from a distance. The wolf caught up with me and stopped right before me. He growled loudly and I stopped running too afraid to move, I know this was it.

I’m done for, he is going to take me to Alpha Roan. Panic overflood me when I tried to look at Alpha. He pushed against me and I fell on the ground again. With his Alpha aura he tried to command me to stay put. But only Alpha aura didn’t affect me I was a wasn’t a wolf yet. Too afraid to move I just did what he said. He walked away behind some trees, then I heard the snapping of some bones. I knew he was shifting back to his own self.

I waited nervously and then there can a man out of the woods with only pants on. He didn’t look that old and very handsome. He was tall, had black short hair and green sweet looking eyes. Before he was even standing before me, he began to ask questions.

“Why did you walk away from me, you don’t have to be afraid I would never hurt you.” He looked at me confused. Why he was doing that no idea, but I bowed very deeply and started answering.

“I’m so sorry Alpha…”

“My name is Noah, Noah Greenwood.”

I’m sorry Alpha Noah, I didn’t want to offend you, I just really need to go home.”

He took my arm and put me close to him. I looked in my eyes, not full of hate but sweet.

“Can’t you stay a little longer with me, I liked to get to know you. Are you rejecting me?”

“Rejecting you, no Alpha Noah I would never reject a man that needs release. But I don’t think out in the open is a good idea. If you let Beta Arthur know that you would like to have company, I will come to your room discreetly or you can come to the house. So not everyone will know. If you would excuse me, I have to get home right now. And please don’t tell anyone you have seen me, please.”

His eyes changed from sweet to disbelieve. He looked at me up and down and then he tried to puzzle together what I was saying to him.

Then it hit him and he looked down, without looking in my eyes I said: “Well I will ask Alpha Roan then, I won’t tell anyone that I talked to you. I also will make sure that the man you were harassing you won’t say a thing. You can go.”

“Thank you Alpha Noah, thank you.” I didn’t think for sure to trust it, but at least I had some hope. Something inside me told me to hold on to that feeling. But why would he help me in the first place… What was his motive?
