Chapter 4

HAZEL'S POV

Alpha's head snapped up and locked eyes with Carson for a second, then they both turn their noses up in the air and sniffed like animals on a hunt.

Who the hell are these crazies? It was like the hotter they are, the crazier they are too.

Carson strode over to the bed and sniffed, he held up the red silk sheet that was wrapped around my body a couple of minutes earlier.

Alpha established a few long strides and made his way over to the bed. He grabbed the sheet from Carson, and he took a deep sniff. He then tilted his head and produced a shrieking animalistic noise.

I had to cover my ears with my hands.

Did he just howl?

My throat got dry. This was getting weirder by the minute.

"Someone has been in my room and on my bed." Alpha's demonic voice was back.

"Maybe it's one of the 12,404 ladies that you've banged," Carson said sarcastically, but then he drew back a little when he realised what he just did.

"Don't fucking test me Carson, you know my wolf won't hesitate to rip your head off, in fact, no one's ever been to my room but you and a few select staff members." I could actually hear the venom in Alpha's tone.

"I know Alpha, I wasn't thinking."

"You're officially the worst beta ever," Alpha sighed, his voice sounded normal again.

"You know that 12,404 is not the number of women I've bed, but the number of lives I've taken?" he asked Carson. But Alpha's tone this time was laced with darkness - maybe regret.

My breath hitched, If he found me, I will be number 12,405. Goodbye Hazel Valentine, I sobbed internally. Fear ate at my soul and my blood ran cold.

Carson looked at Alpha with what looked like realisation. "Oh, when I said body count, you thought it was the number of kills you made," he laughed heartily "No man I meant how many girls you fucked."

Alpha shook his head in amusement, "I figured that out when you started talking about the different types of pussies."

"I am the Alpha of the world's largest pack, where would I find the time to fuck twelve thousand four hundred and four women and take care of a pack of almost fifty thousand?"

"I don't know man, but I see how most of the she-wolves here look at you. I thought they would be lined up at your door every night for some Alpha juice," Carson gave Alpha a one-sided smirk.

"I've been with many women over the years, but as I got older, I realised it's just meaningless sex. It's not fair to the ladies I sleep with because they always want more and I cannot give my all to a girl that's not my true soul mate."

Alpha slowly turned around, his rear was to Carson and his front was now towards me. I still couldn't see his face because there was a standing lamp in the way.

Fuck you, lamp.

“Ever since I had that dream about that beautiful girl a couple of months ago, I can't seem to get her out my mind, plus I don't have the urge to have sex with anyone else."

"Wait you told me about that dream eight months ago, so you're telling me you haven't gotten laid in eight months?" Carson questioned.

"Man I just know and that's why I've been so restless lately. All I do is think about her twenty four, seven. I can't seem to get my fucking mind off her."

"Man you got the hots for an imaginary dream chick. Alpha that's on a different level of kinky. So have you dreamt about her again?"

"Yes, I did last night, it was only flashes here and there, but we finally kissed, and we were finally going to take the next step, when your annoying ass woke me up. It felt so real." I heard the sadness in Alpha's voice. I almost had the need to go and comfort him.

Even though his face was hidden behind the lamp,

Alpha's chest was in full view, and man those six-pack - oh scratch that, his eight-pack was glistening beneath the sunlight that was coming from the window. The rain had finally stopped.

His V-line was the sexiest thing I've ever seen. I was drooling like a dog who was hungry for bone. That is it! I vowed to myself that If I made it out here in one piece I'd rub a few out from the images of this guy. I felt the heat coming from between my legs, I dipped my head slightly and swallowed to try to ease my dry throat.

"I'm sorry for cock-blocking you, man. You at least deserve some dream pussy for you to be turning down real pu -" Carson paused mid-sentence. "Smell that?" Carson questioned as he again sniffed the air.

I focused on Carson's face, he was tensed all over, I could tell that Alpha was also tensed by the way his muscles bulged.

Alpha growled before he answered yes. It was a guttural sound but it was one of the sexiest sounds that my ears have ever had the pleasure of hearing. My tummy tightened as my arousal intensified.

Both Carson and Alpha growled, and I watched as they walked towards the closet.

Fuck my life! I thought as I crawled to the back of the closet. My heart was thumping in my chest like a jackhammer.

I an going to die. They are going to find me and chop me into pieces and feed me to their pet shark.

I closed my eyes as I heard the closet door open. It sounded like it was ripped off the hinges.

Then came their loud breathing.

Oh! shit! It's the end of Hazel Valentine!

I didn't even have to open my eyes to know that they were close. I felt their presence.

"MATE!" I heard Alpha rumble.

"Alpha, I don't see anyone but I do smell a unique scent though, it's stronger at the back of the closet." Carson sounded confused.

What? My eyes shot open. How could he not see me? I saw Carson hovering over me, sniffing and scanning the area. His blue eyes were now pitch black. How is this possible? I kept still, I dared not to even breathe and risk being caught.

"Mate! MATE!" Alpha growled out, the whole God damn room shook.

"Calm down Alpha, there's no one here! Your mate is not here," Carson tried to reason with Alpha, but Alpha grabbed his shoulder and flung him to the ground like he weighed nothing.

He stepped around Carson and stood right in front of me. I was sitting with my back against the wall, hugging my knees to my chest. I felt like I was in a nightmare that I could not awaken from.

"But I can smell her, my mate is here, my wolf is sure of it." Alpha sounded desperate. He also seemed to not see me.

Maybe I'm dead and my ghost wandered and got lost in some hot guy's mansion. If so maybe I could lurk around and watch them shower and stuff - no, that's creepy even for ghost me.

Alpha crouched in front of me, my gaze immediately went to his face.

Wait! I know those mint green eyes, those beautifully chiselled jaws. It is my Adonis dream man!

That explains it now, I really am dreaming.

His hand stretched out like he was going to touch me. He stopped before his hand could touch the space where my chest was. He still could not see me, but somehow I knew he felt my presence.

This man was maybe the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. My fingers itched to caress him. Without thinking, I slowly positioned myself on my knees between his legs. He was sitting on the floor with his hands resting on his knees. He smelt like rain, almonds, and cedar. He smelt of perfection.

I needed to touch him. My skin was calling out to his skin. I gently lifted my hand and ran my thumb over his cheek. Sparks, of course, there'd be sparks. If he couldn't see me, maybe he wouldn't be able to feel my touch either - right?

WRONG!

His hand shot up to his cheek. I saw the battle behind his eyes like he just didn't know what to make out of this strange situation.

You and me both, buddy!

We were both drawn out of our trance when Carson groaned in pain. I forgot that he was there. "Alpha, with all due respect, you need to get a little more control of your wolf," he said while rubbing the back of his head.

Alpha slowly got up, and then he stretched a hand to Carson and drag him to his feet. "Sorry about that, man."

"It's ok Alpha, just another reason to get you and your wolf some pussy already. Eight months is like eight years in werewolf years," he chuckled while he patted Alpha on the back.

What?

They both walked out of the closet, but not before Alpha spun to look in my direction one last time. I again got lost in his beautiful green eyes when I was distracted by a voice calling my name. It was faint, but I recognised it.

"Haze, wake up! Wake up!" Gabz's voice echoed in my ears. Before I knew it, I was waking up in my bedroom with Gabz standing over my body with a panicked look on her face.
