Chapter 26: It’s not so bad
Raven’s POV
There was nothing to take moreover, I should have already left and headed up to the Alpha’s building like he instructed. Any further delay would only make him more Mad. With my eyes more on the ground than where I was going I walked and followed the guard all the way to the alphas building and up the stairs.
She had the same stony expression on her face that said she was simply doing what she was told as she moved to stand by the door while gesturing for me to head in and up the stairs.
"Alpha Rex’s room is on the top floor to the right," she said turning around to face the outside of the building in a guard stance that said she wouldn’t be leaving there anytime soon. There was another guard there but he didn’t even glance at her almost like her presence was of no concern to him.
I nodded my head in thanks squeezing my fingers together until they hurt as I headed up the stairs. My heart pounding in my chest as I ft blood rush to my head in a way that almost made me dizzy.
Still I climbed faster up the wide and spiraling steps but I had just gotten to the topmost floor when I saw someone approach. The hallways were lighted up with lanterns and I could see well enough to recognize the person as Thor.
He was huge just like the other two which was what made them Alphas. His body size was big and his muscles well defined with blonde hair that reached all the way to his shoulders.
In his hand was a sword, a silver weapon only humans used and werewolves considered to be sacrilege. I instantly bowed my head to the ground only to hear him scoff in what had to be disgust as he made his way down the stairs without sparing a glance at me.
Unlike Rex and Axel whose anger seemed to permeate every part of them, Thor’s attitude was an indifference I couldn’t understand. He had to have lost people in the attack yet towards me he simply insisted on pretending that I didn’t exist.
Maybe to him i was already dead.
It wasn’t until he was completely gone that I finally decided to move on glancing at the doors on the corridor before focusing on the one to my right. I glanced at the one right opposite it and somehow I got the feeling that it belonged to Axel. It was merely a feeling.
Biting down on my lips as I felt my hands tremble i raised my hands to knock quietly on the door which sounded much louder than I expected. "Come in!" A deep and familiar voice ordered from inside the room and I stepped in.
Stunned to stand by the door and see Rex half naked on a huge bed in a huge and well decorated room with Gessia sitting on his laps. The straps of her gown undone and her front section unbuttoned to bare her breasts. It was shocking and even more to realize that she wanted me to see it as she sent me a smirk scrambling off his legs without trying to cover herself.
"Figured Rex might need some assistant if he’s going to lay with you," Gessia said even as Rex ordered, "close the door!" An order i instantly followed. Standing right by the door with my head lowered. I didn’t even want to be there.
"You might as well get it over with now. You shouldn’t mind if I watch..." she said and I almost balked in shock as I balled my fists only to feel a hint of relief as I heard Rex speak next. "Leave Gessia! I’ll get it done. I don’t need your help with that," Rex snapped and I lowered my head even lower. Not wanting to see the embarrassed and angry look I was sure Gessia was bound to have.
Feeling her rush past me with a huff of anger grabbing the door open and slamming it behind her. I thought it would feel better now that Gessia had left but instead it felt much worse.
The silence felt like it would choke me as I stared at the floor boards aware of the anger I would see in Rex’s eyes if I met his gaze.
"Head into the bathroom and wash. Step out naked," he said and i glanced up to see him point at a door running his hands through his black hair with a furious expression on his face and a hint of frustration.
"You are not on your blood day are you?" He asked like an afterthought almost like he realized that it was something he should have confirmed. I slowly shook my head wanting to simply get it over with as I recalled Loel’s words. It’s not so bad.
’It’s not bad at all,’ I thought to myself realizing that female werewolves wouldn’t do it so often and every night if it truly was.
Quickly I headed into the bathroom he pointed out stunned to see a big space nothing like the space I shared with tens of people. It was immaculately clean and smelled vaguely of Rex. A soft manly smell i didn’t hate.
I headed into the tub and picked a filled bucket of water as I stripped and used the water sparsely and a bit of soap. One he used often since it smelled of him. I washed like I was told to and grabbed one of the wash clothes folded over each other and wiped myself clean.
Using others things was common. We were a pack as long as it was clean and offerred it was fine. Done with what I had been instructed I felt my hands start to tremble again as I realized I would have to step out naked in front of him my black hair still tied into a ponytail on my head.
Still I knew better than to dwaddle and drag my feet. "It’s not so bad!" I mumbled under my breath repeating what Loel had told me. "It’s pretty good actually, better than good!"
