A weekend with the Alpha novel Chapter 71

Three weeks later,

I dropped Zion off at Laruba's place before heading out for my classes. I started my PhD course in psychology three weeks ago and since things had fallen into a good pace in the past month; I felt it was the right time to take it up. Zion had a healthy and stable relationship with his family of uncles and aunt, loved ones and friends. My boy had more love than I could have asked for and I wasn't complaining.

His big day was also around the corner, and I wanted something special for him. I also wanted my family and friends to be present. He would be five after all, and it wouldn't get any better.

After I finish with my class for the day, I drove to Aaron's estate. I haven't been back here since two months ago when I left and I didn't think I'd willingly bring myself back here, but here I was. I didn't call him before leaving the office; I didn't remember to and when I got to the gate at the estate, security stopped me.

"I am sorry. I didn't call Aaron." I told them, "I will call him now, though." I picked up my phone from my purse to dial Aaron's number when I heard someone say. "Let her through. That's the alpha's guest."

The same second, the gates opened and, thanking them, I drove into the large land space. During my stay here the last time, I noticed the houses at the estate looked the same except for Aaron's, and that was what I used to find my way this time. As I passed the houses that looked the same, I knew they weren't Aaron's. Soon, I spotted one a few kilometres away, and I knew it was his. I drove towards the house and turned off the car when I came to a stop.

I picked my bag up and stepped out. I race up the few steps that led to the door. I pushed, and it opened to me. The inside was as quiet as ever and I realised it would have been best to call and inform him of my coming.

Well, better late than never. I brought out my phone and dialled Aaron's number, but there was no answer. I tried again and when I got no response for the second time; I slipped the phone into my purse.

"Hello, is anybody home?" I asked, and my voice echoed in the room as if there was no one living there. Perhaps I should have asked the security men at the gate if their alpha was home. That way, I would be sure of myself.

I don't think they would have let you into the estate if he wasn't home.

Or he could be sleeping.

Different thoughts ran through my head, and I had the answer to none. I picked my phone out of the bag to once again dial his number when I heard a low growl from behind me.

My heart skipped a beat, and I paused, not moving at first. I wanted to know if I had indeed heard a sound. The growl came again, louder than before, and I knew I wasn't hallucinating.

I turned around, and I saw a big black wolf standing before me with blazing red eyes.

I had seen their full moon transformation in video clips and had seen Damor in his full wolf form months ago, and just like them, I was alone with this one and the scary memory rushed back. I was scared. My heart was hammering in my chest and there was no way to control it.

Silly me! I thought that was how it worked. I inwardly facepalmed myself.

"You didn't call," he told me, and he was correct. I should have. "I'm sorry I forgot. Can you put something on?" I asked because though I wasn't looking at him, the thought of him naked behind me, while we were alone, didn't help for one second. The image I just saw would torment me for a while, that was for sure.

"There's nothing here to put on," he answered, and I knew he was enjoying this very much.

I dipped my hand into my purse and pulled out the scarf inside. "Here," and handed it to him.

"What do I do with it?"

"Wrap it around yourself," I said.

"It won't go round. I am big. You know that."
