Slaved To The Alpha

He was smiling at me while he was just standing there like he was waiting for something to come out of my mouth, was there something on my cheeks or what? He has been looking at me like I look stupid or something since we first talked again earlier.

“Yeah, sorry about that, I tend to do that at times, and they have always commented about it. But I don’t exactly realize it when I’m doing it, so I don’t have much control over that but thank you for putting it out. I’ll try in the future to prevent it from happening.” He is too apologetic, and I don’t know if he’s like this to everyone or is it just me? But I kind of like this side of him. I never really expected him to be like this when we first met. It feels weird.

“No, no, you don’t have to apologize. You did nothing wrong. But thank you for being so understanding even though I sound annoying right now who complains about every tiny bit of imperfection, but I swear I’m not like that!”

He chuckled and smiled at me. “Of course not! I never thought of you like that kind of person anyway, and I was just thinking that… Wait! We’re getting off-topic again! Ask me what you wanted to ask me earlier, or you might forget again as we have for the past two times we tried to talk about it.”

I felt embarrassed since it looked like I was the one getting off-topic. I knew that I had something to do with it. I guess we both have something in common, huh? Hopefully, he hasn’t noticed that. “Oh yeah! Thanks for reminding me. I was trying to find somewhere to train earlier, hence why I am here right now standing in front of the linen room. I was wondering if you knew somewhere in this place where I could train?” I asked him in an introverted tone of voice as I felt like I was asking someone a huge favor.

He smiled at me again, moved closer to the linen room door, and closed it. He then looked at me with that charming smile of his. Of course, I should not even be charmed by him whatsoever since that wasn’t my goal when I came here, my goal is to get away from all of this finally, and I hope that I’ll still be able to fulfill it once the time finally comes.

Greco just started laughing and just pulled my arm in his direction and dragged me all the way to the window at the end of the hallway. I didn’t know what he was up to, and I just thought that he wanted me to see something since we were headed directly to the window.

Then there it was, he stuck his hand out and was gesturing at the ground. When I first saw it, I was shocked that it was even there. There is a whole wooden forest just in the back of the venue hiding in plain sight. Okay, maybe it wasn’t hiding. I just didn’t see it when I was roaming around here, perhaps because it was dark earlier or whatever the reason. I just couldn’t believe that there was this jungle, a whole forest just waiting to be explored by me.

“So? What do you think? I can’t believe you never saw this. You seriously never saw this when you came here?” He said in a sarcastic tone of voice, and I know that I tend not to observe my surroundings which is why I never exactly saw this huge forest just outside of the venue. Well, it was in the back so.

This is why I want to learn Fravis’s unique ability, and if he can memorize something just by looking at it, he can totally memorize surroundings after just one glance at it. I don’t know why I’m like this, Usually pay attention to everything that’s happening around me, especially now since I should be on my guard at all times since I don’t know most of the packs here.

“I seriously did not see any of this before, like this looked invisible earlier. Are you sure that this was here last night?” I asked him a sarcastic question to change the topic from me being a complete absolute tool, and it was quite embarrassing for me. I hope he isn’t making fun of me inside of his head, don’t even dare Greco.

“Well, it was here before you guys even arrived, so, anyway, I think the woods are off-limits? They sealed it up from what I last remember, but who knows. Maybe they’ve opened it again.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I was curious about why it was closed up in the first place. Maybe something bad happened? Maybe an accident? I don’t know, and I’m starting to get nervous about going in since I’m already overthinking it. “Hey! Why was it…” I was hesitant to ask since I felt like it was too scary to know the reason. “Why was it closed up in the first place?” I just said as fast as I could to get it out there finally.

Greco then laughed. This gave me some relief, as his laughter means it shouldn’t have been too serious.

“Because someone got lost in there.” He just said out of nowhere as he stopped laughing. “Sorry for laughing. I just couldn’t hold it in after seeing your reaction. I never imagined you to be scared of the woods. I mean, it’s literally the place I go to when I want some peace and quiet, just as long as you know how to get back, it’s perfectly safe.” He said in an enthusiastic tone of voice as she smiled.

I was thinking twice whether I should continue or not, but if I chickened out right now, then Asthrid might wake up any moment, and I won’t be able to train for the rest of the day. So I had to make a choice. It was a good thing I didn’t let my feelings get the best of me and just did what I had been wanting to do since I woke up this morning. “Okay, I trust you. You’re sure that it’s perfectly safe, right? And you know how to get back? Like you really know how to get back? If Asthrid notices I’m gone the moment she wakes up, I’m basically dead to her. So you better know where you’re going, or else I won’t come with you.” I was being pushy even though I was the one in need of help at the moment, I don’t think that he really knows how to get back, but it was either that or a waste of the day.
