Chapter 4
Chapter 04 Obliviously Sweet
– Anna
Bright light hit my face and
warmth covered me. It felt so nice and I wanted to sleep more but the strong
smell of antiseptic wouldn‘t let me. Opening my eyes, I found myself staring not
at the usual dark ceiling.
My chest felt constricted and when I ced a hand on it,
felt that it was wrapped in bandages. Memories ofst night came crashing into
my mind and my heart immediately ached.
Are you happy now, Flynn?
Is this what you wanted?
Is this the Alpha that you wanted to be?
I didn‘t want to know the answer, to continue to feel
sympathy towards him. He hurt me. And
continue to feel
sympathy towards him. He hurt me. Andst night, he showed me that he‘d go to
great lengths to prove his point.
Wasn‘t he hurting too?
Didn‘t Farrel fight for you?
Stop!
This is exhausting. I wish my brain and heart
would quit insisting their own take on the matter.
There was no denying that my sin was heavy, and my life was
insignificant to theirs. But before it happened, we were the best of friends.
We grew up together, trained together, and fought together.
I was his mate – had he changed so much that he was no
longer the Flynn that I knew?
Farrel took advantage ofst night was proof.
It‘s not toote yet, Alpha. For you, I will try one
blood and legacy.
My palms dug into the soft mattress as I sat up and
scanned the room. The cream–colored walls held no decorations and traveling
bags were scattered on the floor as if they were just thrown there. The only
furniture besides the king–sized bed was the couch and coffee table that sat at 2
the center of the room facing the ss windows to my right, and the bedside
table to my left.
The room gave off an air of seclusion, of loneliness, like
it was made for a person who had lost hope of something that belonged to the
hope of something that belonged to the
outside world. But the one aesthetic in the room contradicted this assumption. Disyed
on a drinking ss half–filled with water, reflecting the sun‘s yellow rays,
was a fully blossomed red rose. Its stem still had its thorns, a supposed
mechanism to protect itself but was futile
in the hands of its gardener, so now
it clung to life, from the basic necessities i t was provided. It showed
breathtaking elegance, but I knew that it was suffering a slow death in the
make–shift vase.
I took my sight off the dying beauty and pushed the sheets
I have to get out of here.
My eyes widened in shock at what I uncovered – a problem. I
had no pants on!
Whoever saved mest night didn‘t touch
Whoever saved mest night didn‘t touch ne, I was sure
since it didn‘t hurt down there. I understood the shirtless situation, I was
wrapped in bandages.
But why take my pants off?
Looking around the room once more, my eyes fell on the
bags. As I contemted whether to borrow“clothing, the door swung open and my
gaze shifted to the person who entered. Her dark auburn hair was tied in a
messy bun and there were dark circles under her eyes.
When she gave me a small smile, her blue eyes sparked
kindness and I inwardly cursed at myself for my ungratefulness. I hastily covered
myself with the covers, embarrassed to show her the scars that bore testament
to my repentance. She noticed but acted like she didn‘t and for that, I was
thankful.
She sat beside me and in the softest voice I‘ve ever heard
Mate
said, “I‘m d you‘re finally awake. How are you feeling?”
Unsure on how to reply, I kept my head down and said, “Uhm...
good. Thank you forst night.”
“I‘m sorry we couldn‘t aid you sooner,” she said, a hint
of sadness in her voice.
“No... uhm... thank you for helping me.”
“I‘m Lexy, head healer of the Red w Pack. What‘s your
name?
My mind cautioned me to use a fake name, but I couldn‘t,
not after what she has done for me.” Anna. Call me Anna,” I replied.
She lightly ced a hand on mine and I would‘ve retracted
it upon contact. But her hand gave mine a
it upon contact. But her hand gave mine a gentle squeeze and it oozed of
genuinepassion. It took all in me to not break down in tears as memories
reyed in my head,
She‘d never see me again after this, but she‘d always
remain in my memories. I raised my head to see her still smiling at me.
“You‘ll be alright now, Anna. We‘re still a t your pack‘s
but you‘re safe now, with us.”
My eyebrows furrowed at the mention of “us“.
Wait, didn‘t she say she was from the Red w Pack!
Sensing my rm, she held my hands in hers, her smile
“Our Alpha found youst night. He‘s working on how to
get you out of here. You cane with us then decide what you want to do
afterward.” She squeezed my hands gently.” We won‘t force you to leave but
frankly, I don‘t see any reason why you should stay,” she said in a serious
My otherwise cid expression contorted to that of shock.
I slowly shook my head; I must‘ve heard wrong.
That psychopath saved me? What would h e know about helping
– all he does is take!
“I know you‘ve heard the rumors about our pack, and I
won‘t ask you to change your views about us, but I promise that you will be
safe. No one will hurt you there.”
I shook my head faster this time, denying her words.
I‘m not leaving, especially with the Red
w Pack. I HAVE something to settle here.
She held my head to stop me and said, “T promise. We saved
you, didn‘t we?”
I‘m sorry, Lexy but I can‘t.
I nodded and curved my lips up a little. She held my hands
again; her warmth wasforting.
“It‘s alright now. You can ask anything from us, we‘ll try
to do what we can. I‘m sure our Alpha can arrange things by tonight. Will you
give me your answer then?” she asked. I nodded.
Her blue eyes lit up in response, happy with my lie.
When she leaves, I‘m walking out that door.
That was what I thought but then I yawned, my body heavy
all of a sudden, my eyes droopy.
“It‘s alright. You still need rest. Sleep, Anna. No one
will hurt you,” she said, as she lowered m y head on a fluffy pillow, but I
could barely hear her for I was slipping away.
When I awakened, the sun was in the midst of retiring.

Questions popped in my mind as I considered my options.
Who am I kidding? There is only one path for me.
Lexy had left and I have a n to execute. Time to leave.
My clothes were neatly folded atop the bedside table,
presumably left there by Lexy. I sat up and threw my legs over the edge of the
bed when the door opened slightly.
A man walked in slowly, his ck chambray shirt outlining
a well–built frame. His mere presence radiated dominance stronger than Alpha
Flynn‘s and I instantly knew who he was.
Hlynn‘s and I instanuy knew wito he was.
Leader of the most feared pack, the blood –thirsty Alpha,
His name was associated with every pack massacred within
the region and rumors said that even rogues steered clear of his territory.
He stood still and his barrel chest heaved as he
took a deep inhale of air which somehow sent chills down my spine. Then his
gaze fell upon me and my body shook involuntarily. Emotions danced in his eyes
that I couldn‘t decipher. He looked at me with burning intensity like I was
guilty of something. Then he walked towards me and I know I reeked fear.
