CHAPTER 8. DELILAH'S POV

My eyelids felt heavy, my head was hurting a whole damn much and my mouth was drier than the Sahara desert. 'What the hell did I have to drink last night?' I thought to myself, assuming I had a hangover.

I know I was a minor, but in the wolf community something nobody really respected the human legal drinking age. So, yes, I very much knew how to felt to be stupidly drunk and terribly hangover. 

What was odd was the fact that I could not remember drinking at all. 

Oh, shit.

My brain finally started functioning and memories from... Yesterday? Earlier today? Came back.

Getting ready to leave my pack for good. Reviewing the maps. Making friends with the new girl. The bus flipping over and... The Alpha. Fuck, was he really Thomas' brother? And finally, I remembered a girl, blowing a white powder on my face, which was probably what knocked me out. 

I opened my eyes, suddenly, finding myself in a strange bedroom. Well, strange because I had never been here before. However, thinking about how it looked... I guess the only way to describe it was as the bedroom of my dreams. And the scent? Rainy days and hot chocolate. 

I jumped out of bed, as soon as I realized that this is HIS bedroom. My head snapped, frantically looking around for him. His scent was strong, it was everywhere, but he was not actually in sight. I opened my mouth, almost calling out, before realizing how stupid that would be. They had probably left me here because I was passed out. As soon as they found out I'd woken up, they would... I didn't even know what was their intention towards me. His intention towards me. I mean, he was the Alpha after all. Was he Luca's ally? Enemy? And if this was about Luca, why was Thomas also taken? It would made sense for it to be about the Alpha's relationship to Thomas, but then... What was MY role in this? And why have we never heard of him? I wasn't sure of anything and hundreds of theories and questions came to mind, but I didn't have time for that right now. I had a goal - to be free once and for all - and I wouldn't let this pack, whoever they were, get in my way. 

Now that I knew that I was alone, I looked around once again, except I did it much slower this time, taking in every detail of the black and white modern bedroom. My eyes stopped on the bedside table, where there's a glass of water and a sandwich. I ran over, but my feet haltered at the last second, as the fear that I would be drugged yet again took over. Only then I noticed the note that was being held in place by the glass. 

Eat, drink and try to relax. I promise I don't mean any harm. We have a lot to talk about. I will be back soon. - Jake

'Mhmm, is that the Alpha's name? Jake? I like it.' Venus said, finally deciding to make her appearance. I ignored her, completely frozen in the same position, while weighing out my options. 'Eat and drink, Delilah. Stop thinking so hard. Jake said we could do it. I trust him.' She spoke again. The bus flipped over, this guy kidnapped, then drugged me and now I was goddess knows where. He was clearly the trustworthy type, huh? 'Have my instintics ever failed us, Delilah? I know we can trust him, so stop being stubborn. We are not perfectly healed from being knocked out twice in so little time.' Venus sounded annoyed and extremely insulted by my hesitation.

I sighed, giving in and taking the glass of water, knowing she was right at least on the last part. My body needed the water and the food. I was too thirsty to resist it for long and, if anything happened to me, at least Venus would stop trusting this Jake guy so much. He has done absolutely nothing that could have made him worthy of our trust. I really couldn't figure out why she was being like this about this guy. I mean, Luca is hot and we still hated him at first sight.

'He is special. He is different. I can feel it, although I can't explain it.' She argued, not leaving me alone to doubt her new favorite person. I rolled my eyes as I sipped the water, waiting for the worst to happen. Spoiler alert: it didn't. I silently moved across the room as I drank from the glass. First, I checked if the main door was locked (It obviously was, no surprise there), then I moved on to the gorgeous spacious bathroom. I have to admit that it threw me off for a second, but I focused my energy on not staring at the shower or the bathtub and going back to the room. The only window on the bathroom was too small for me to make an escape anyways, which meant my last option was the window in the bedroom. I didn't have to get too close to realize we were way to high up for me to jump out of it. 'We can't and we shouldn't.' Venus protested against my plans to leave before the Alpha came back. I ignored her and tried to open the window anyways. Of course, it didn't even budge. It was sealed shut. I felt Venus grow happier with that realization. "I can simply break the glass and try to jump anyways." I said, pissed about her acceptance on being kidnapped.

"You could do that, but it would only make all the alarms go off." I heard the Alpha say from the other side of the door, obviously listening to me. He was back.
