Chapter 6: He is dangerous

I hear more screams. I stepped away from the door. My eyes met Ares, who held his hand out for me to take. "Where is Luca?" I ask. "He is fine, you need to come with me right now." He gritted his teeth. I can tell he is getting annoyed. I was scared of what was happening. A werewolf never attacks humans unless it feels threatened by them. I wondered what might have happened to lead to this. I take Ares’s hand in mine as he leads me outside. He takes me into another room. "Stay here and don’t move." He says. I take a look around my area, which was a library, with a large center carpet in the middle of the room, and by the sides were comfortable couches. I notice a coffee maker on the table beside the flower pot, and against the walls are books; all four walls have a book stacked. It looked beautiful with the flower pots that were all around the room. It gave it a natural look, causing the light to look better in the room. The room was dim, which made everything look cozy. "What is going on?." "I just need you not to ask questions and lock the doors. This is the safest room in the house." What made it safer than the rest, I wanted to ask, but I could tell he was already annoyed by the situation, and I would only cause trouble with my questions. "I can help, I can turn," I say to him. I know the lowest-ranked werewolf, but I was taught to fight well because of my rank. I may not have the strength like any of them, but I can defend myself, and they can take a good beating. "Luca won’t want anything to happen to you. Just listen to me, just this once." "Does this have to do with that little boy I saved?" I asked, and he averted his eyes; he didn’t say a word. I somewhat caused this situation; I should have been more careful, I should have minded my business. "Just stay here, it will be over in a few minutes." He says, and I nod. I decided to listen. I have no idea what could be going on down there. No one said anything about what happens in the Alpha’s home. I had a feeling it was him who changed. I know he is known to be ruthless and wicked, but I never expected him to want to hurt his people; he is known for hurting others. I recall when I first came to the palace, it was for a dinner with Conrad, who is a beta, so he was privileged to be invited to all of this. I was happy that day, and that was the day I saw Alpha Luca. He had a frown on his face; he broke the hand of his maid because she poured tea on his lap. I can still remember her cries and face; she didn’t do it purposely. It was an honest mistake, yet he didn’t care. It made me fear him from that day, and now I’m stuck with him. He has always been nice to me until tonight, when he yelled at me. I know I should have minded my business. Now I am nervous for myself. What if the alpha decides to punish me? What if he decides to feed me to other wolves, his army, who had the best soldiers in the city?. A tear slips out of my eyes when I hear my mother scream. I sit beside the couch on the floor, for some reason, I didn’t want to sit on the couch. Why did Conrad have to sell me? What if one day the alpha no longer wants me here? What will happen? I don’t know anyone. I would be banished back to my town, and I don’t even have a place to stay there. I remember when I had a family there; it was just the four of us until I was the only one remaining. I remember the horrific incident that took them away from me. My mind reminisced about those times, a flash of their bodies appears in my head, I close my eyes, stopping myself from thinking otherwise, I hate it. I notice the handle of the door swinging open. No one knew I was here except Ares. I could no longer hear the screaming or the growl of a wolf. There was no one. It was quiet as Ares walked into the room. I stand up from my position, "Is everything alright?" I ask and he nods. "We have the situation under control. You will be sleeping in the guest room tonight." "What happened to my room?? I asked. He seemed like he didn’t want to speak. Something must have happened, which is why he wanted me to leave in the first place, and why I won’t be sleeping there. Ares doesn’t answer me; he didn’t want to speak, and I won’t push him. They have been nice enough to me, so I don’t have to push their buttons until they hate me. He walks me to the guest room, the guest room looked a lot like my room, but there was a bit difference to it. He locks the door behind him. I stand by the window looking outside. I have a habit of watching people work; men were leaving the house. I wanted to see Luca, I don’t know why I was worried about him, I don’t know why I just want to make sure he is fine, I felt like we are connected in a way, it annoyed me I was thinking of another man just days after I was sold by my mate, a mate I rejected, maybe because I am intrigued by him, a man that cares for me for some reasons and I need to know why? Even if I have to pretend to care for him, I will, I will prove my ex-husband wrong, I can be smart when I want to be. I didn’t see who I wanted to see; he wasn’t there. I noticed Are, then he looked up the window. I quickly id, I don’t know why, but I don’t want him to seem. "Something is going on here, and I have to find yo,." I say to myself.
