The Mysterious Luna
Chapter 8

Jessica POV

I followed Josh, as he lead me towards the big red building. I was still just wearing a hospital gown and it was cold outside. I wrapped my arms around my body to try and stay warm.

“Sorry, I know it’s cold, I should of grabbed you a jacket, before we stepped outside.” Josh said, while glancing at me. I could tell, he was sincerely apologizing. He seemed nice enough, maybe he would help me get out of here, I thought to myself.

“It’s ok.” I replied softly and gave him a small smile.

We walked the rest of the way in silence, until we reached the front doors of the big red building.

“This is our pack house. You’ll have a room on the fourth floor, that’s my floor.” Josh said, as he opened the door and motioned for me to enter. I didn’t waste anytime and walked in, I couldn’t wait to get out of the cold weather. I won’t what he means by pack house?

I couldn’t help but look around. It was gorgeous, everything was so modern, right past the foyer, was a living room with multiple cream coloured, couches, love seats and armchairs, just past the living room, was a door that led into a kitchen. I didn’t have time to look any further, because Josh, started to climb a set of stairs, I followed him.

We climbed three sets of stairs and I was almost out of breath. I mean, it didn’t help that I hadn’t eaten or drank anything in days, this little bit of exercise was exhausting me.

Josh stopped in front of a door and reached above the frame, he retrieved a key and unlocked the door.

“This will be your room.” He said, as he opened the door.

He motioned for me to enter and I complied.

The room was gorgeous, it was almost as big as my whole apartment, that I share with Samantha. There was a king size bed In the middle, with an armchair in the corner. There was a television on the wall in front of the bed, and a couch off to the side.

I saw two doors that were opened, one looked to be a walk in closet and the other was a bathroom.

“I hope, this is comfortable enough for you.” Josh asked, from the doorway.

“Thank you, this is beautiful, I really appreciate what you’re doing for me.” I said, in a soft voice, while I continued to take in the room.

“I’m really sorry that I have to lock you in here when I’m not around, but it’s the only way that the Alpha, would agreed to it.” Josh said and I could hear the sincerity in his words. He seemed uncomfortable with the idea of locking me into a room.

“It’s ok, I understand.” I replied and glanced over at him, with a small smile.

Well, I’ll have someone bring up some food for you, I’m sure your hungry.” He said.

“Thank you.” I replied softly. I couldn’t understand why he was being so nice to me, I really appreciate it, but still, I was suspicious.

“I’ll also have some clothes brought up, so you have something to wear.” He continued to say.

“Thank you, I would really appreciate that.” I replied.

“Well, if you don’t need anything else right now, I’m going to head to my room. I’m right next door, knock loudly on this wall, if you need anything. I’ll come back later to check on you.” Josh said, as he showed me the wall that separated our rooms.

“Thank you.” I said, with a small smile.

He walked out of my room and closed the door behind him. I didn’t miss the click of a lock, immediately after he closed the door.

I let out a sigh of relief, when I was finally alone in the room.

I made my way to the bathroom and couldn’t help but admire how grand it was. It was pretty much, triple the size of the bathroom in my apartment, that I shared with Samantha.

There was a deep soaker tub, that would easily fit four people and a separate shower. I decided to run myself a bath, since I couldn’t leave the room.

I found several different bubble baths under the sink and settled on vanilla.

I stripped off the hospital gown and couldn’t wait to get in the bath. I knew I was starting to smell ripe, I hadn’t had a shower in a couple of days.

The mean guy said, I didn’t have a scent, he should smell me right now, I chuckled dryly to myself. I’m sure he wouldn’t be able to miss my scent anymore.

I stepped into the bubbly water and instantly let out a satisfied, sigh. The warm water felt so good against my cold skin, it was like a warm hug.

I sunk down into the tub and couldn’t help but close my eyes, this was the most relaxed I had felt in days.

I stayed in the tub for hours, until the water was cold. I eventually got out and grabbed a thick fluffy towel from the closet and dried myself off.

I found a new toothbrush on the counter and decided to use it. It was almost orgasmic, how good it felt to clean my mouth and teeth.

I went back into the bedroom and found a man size t-shirt and shorts, waiting on the bed for me.

I didn’t waste anytime and put the clothes on. I was appreciative for what Josh was doing for me. I knew he didn’t have to do any of this, he was doing it because he was a good guy.

When I was dressed, I couldn’t help myself, I brought the shirt to my nose and inhale deeply. It smelt so good, like fresh baked bread and homemade strawberry jam, mixed in with a manly musky scent. I was salivating, at the smell alone.

After I was done getting dressed, I pushed the blankets back and climbed into bed. It was by far, the coziest bed I had ever laid on. Ok, I guess that’s not saying much, since I don’t remember anything before the past six months, but still, it was comfy.

It didn’t take long, before sleep consumed me.

Alpha Colton POV

I felt relieved, when Josh accepted responsibility for Jessica. Deep down, I didn’t want her to stay in the dungeon, but at the same time, I couldn’t let myself come across as weak, specially incase she was plotting against me.

I left her cell with Kyle and made my way back to the pack house. I went to my officer and watched out the window, as Josh escorted Jessica towards the building.

I felt weird butterflied inside my stomach, knowing that she would be staying, only a floor below me. For some unknown reason, my wolf and I, both felt uncomfortable at the idea, of her staying right next door to my Beta, Josh. He’s unmated and I know how much of a play boy he can be.

She looked so cold outside, she had her arms wrapped around her body, trying to keep warm. I felt bad and really wanted to run outside with a jacket for her, but knew I couldn’t do that. I have to keep my hard demeanour In front of her, just incase she’s playing me.

My wolf was mad, trying to push forward and take control, he really wanted me to go to her. I wonder, how she’s managed to hook us into her spell so quickly. All I could think, was maybe a witch made her desirable, to throw me off.

I sat at my desk for a half an hour, but couldn’t focus. Between my wolf constantly throwing jabs at me and my own curiosity about Jessica, I couldn’t think about anything else.

Maybe, I should go and check on her, I mean, I could always use the excuse, that I wanted to make sure, she was properly locked up.

I got up from my chair and left my office. For some ready, I decided to stop by my own room and grabbed one of my T-shirts and a pair of shorts, before continuing to Jessica’s room.

When I got to her room, I found the key right above the door on the frame and hesitated for a minute, before I opened it.

I felt my heart beating fast for some reason, like, the thought of seeing her made me nervous. I didn’t understand my own urge, to bring her my clothing. Hector, was the one who insisted.

I slowly pushed her door open and found her bedroom to be empty. I let out a breath of relief, I mean, if she had been in her room, she would of been suspicious, as to why I came here.

The bathroom door was closed and I could smell vanilla bubble bath. I knew she was in there and it was taking everything in me, not to walk into that bathroom and join her. For some reason, everything about her, was drawing me in.

I laid my T-shirt and the shorts down on her bed. I hesitated briefly by the bathroom door. I was craving her, not just in a s****l way, but everything about her. She was like a puzzle, that I needed to put together, for my own sanity.

I heard the water draining from the tub and knew I needed to leave, if I didn’t want to get caught.

I paused for a minute, because a part of me, really wanted to be caught, specially if that meant, I got to spend time alone with her.

I made my way to the door and glanced back at her room one more time, before I left and locked the door behind me.

Goddess, what are you doing to me? Why am I so fascinated with this women? It’s like I’m being tested. I can’t give in, she’s only going to be trouble for me and my pack, I just know it.

I was almost at my bedroom door, when I heard someone speak, behind me.

“Are you ready for dinner?” Heathers voice asked, with a sweet angelic tone. I wanted to smash my head against the wall. Having dinner with her right now, was the last thing I wanted to do. I didn’t respond right away, so she spoke again.

“I hope you haven’t forgotten, I’ve made all the arrangements and there’s an amazing dinner waiting for us.” She said, with a soft voice. She threw out her bottom l*p in a pout, as she batted her lashes at me. I let out a frustrated sigh, I really didn’t want to have dinner with her, but I promised her, I really don’t have a choice.

“I didn’t forget, I’m going to go freshen up, before I meet you In the dinner hall.” I replied and I could see her smile light up.

“Ok, I’ll be waiting there for you.” She replied, with a huge smile, before she took off down the hall, towards the dinner hall.

I shook my head with irritation, all I want to do right now, is go back to my room and think about Jessica. I really have no interest in pretending with Heather, specially not tonight.
