Chapter 5: Waking Up at the Alpha Supreme's House

(POV: Lina)

Trim trim trim trim.

The sound of the alarm clock makes me abruptly open my eyes, and the first thing that comes to my mind is:

Where did I get myself into?

I look around and realize that I'm in a huge room with cold walls, gray and black. I don't see a wardrobe, only three doors of the same color (gray) and size.

Without hesitation, I get out of bed, and as I do so, I notice that I am dressed in a low-cut white lace camisole. The nightgown is beautiful and short, But how did I put this on?

With this doubt in mind, I search my memory and can't remember anything. Pain, that's what hits my head, causing it to spin for a few seconds. And along with that pain, memories of a very strange and unpleasant dream come to my mind.

With a strong desire to get out of this strange room. I fervently hope it is not locked; I walk toward a random door, turn the knob, and a wave of relief comes over me when it opens. But the feeling disappears when I come across a bathroom, the walls gray and the furniture black.

Since I'm not interested in that, I move to the second door.

Behind it, there's a closet full of clothes, and from what I can tell, they're all men's clothes. Without intending to, I inhale the scent of the owner of the clothes, and as a reaction to recognizing the scent, I shudder from head to toe.

It can't be.

So it was not a dream. I turned into a wolf, and on the same day I met my mate, who, unfortunately, is the ultimate alpha. What a big mess, why is my life so complicated?

Indignant at the direction my life is going, I feel a warm breath on my neck. A shiver runs down my stomach and travels up my spine, ending in the hair on the back of my neck. This makes my heart beat fast and hard in my chest.

Alert, that's the state I'm in right now. I close my eyes and take a deep breath to smell the person behind me, and when I recognize him, I turn and face him. His green eyes capture my gaze, and I can't look away.

Those eyes...

They send such a great peace that I don't know how to describe it. This green color takes away all my alertness, making me drop my guard. Just looking at those eyes makes me... happy?

When he gives me a sideways smile and holds my nape with his hand, my state goes into red alert. With trembling fingers I gathered all my strength and pushed him by the chest. He took his hand away from me and walked away.

Now I realize how handsome he is.

He doesn't look like an old man, but he's not young either. I would say his appearance is that of a mature man. His hair is black, his skin is tan, his muscles are... big. If I said they were average, I would be lying, but they're not overly exaggerated either.

Distracted by admiring her beauty, which is divine in my opinion. I don't notice when the person in front of me grabs me by the waist and throws me onto the bed, lying on top of me. Startled, I let out a little scream, not high-pitched, making him smile, and what a perfect smile it is.

"You look beautiful when you're distracted and scared," he says, bringing his face close to mine. His voice is so pleasant to hear. "I can't control myself," he whispers in my ear, making me shiver.

Before I have time to understand his few words. I am surprised by the softness of his lips pressed against mine.

Wow! So this is what a kiss feels like? It's good. I feel something wet trying to pass between my lips, and I startle at that without realizing it, closing my mouth. That wet thing, now I know it's his tongue, touches mine, and butterflies flutter in my stomach. I don't move, I stay still. I won't lie, I'm enjoying it... or rather, I'm loving it.

But I can't afford to enjoy it, even if he is my mate. With a heavy heart, I grab the alarm clock and, still with trembling hands, I hit my mate on the head with it. The sound of the impact between the object and his head sends chills down my spine in a very unpleasant way.

Now that I notice, I don't know his name, but in any case, it's too late to ask because he's unconscious on top of me. In this state, let's say sleeping, he becomes even more beautiful. Without that arrogant air, he almost looks like a sweet person. Without that dominant posture and serious expression. He almost looks like an angel.

With all the adrenaline in my body, I push him away and get out of bed. I walk towards the third door and turn the doorknob, but it doesn't open, and that sends me into a panic.

Unable to believe that I'm locked in, I start trembling, my fingers go numb, and my heart skips a beat. Tears well up in my eyes, and sobs hurt my throat. Because of crying, my head starts to ache and spin, and I hold onto the wall to keep from falling. I look around and see a window. I approach it, and it's open, but when I look outside, I realize how high we are from the ground.

Well, this is better than staying trapped here.

Thinking only of freeing myself from the panic I'm feeling, I open the window and jump out. As I fall, I transform into a wolf and run. I run and enter a forest, and after walking a few meters, I find the crystal clear waterfall again. So I am in the Dark Forest.

A relief comes over me, as I realize that I am not far from home. But then a bad feeling comes over me, and I also realize that I am not far from where my companion has trapped me.

Lost in thought, I hear the sound of branches breaking, and my wolf becomes alert. I look around, but I don't see anything. I try to sniff, but I can't smell anything. So, even though my wolf disagrees, I let it go and return to my human form, entering the waterfall.

I bathed several times until...
