Chapter 15
"I said, what are you doing here?" Alpha Jackson asked stalking forward towards us.
I turned to see Lucas backing up against the wall like he was really terrified.
"I heard a noise and saw the door open.So I came to see what the noise was.I didn't know it was the dungeon." I say.
"Everyone has been looking for you today."
Alpha Jackson says as he finally reached me.But he kept facing me.He didn't even bother turning to look at Lucas.And I didn't both looking at Alpha Jackson. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"I needed some space and time to think" I say.
"They saw you in the woods.Right after the battle.That was dangerous." He says softer.
Like he was actually concerned about me.
"Well, I'm fine.You don't need to worry about me." I say stepping around him and starting to leave the dungeon.
I could hear him following me out of the dungeon and I went upstairs.I went back to the office and I sat there on the couch doing the work that I was meant to be doing.
Sorting through all the files and inputting the data onto the laptop.
"I don't want you going down to the dungeon again, alright." Alpha Jackson says coming into the room and closing the door behind him.
"Yeah.Fine." I say concentrating on what I was doing.
And he headed to his desk and sat behind it and started going through his own paperwork.
Not long after that the cook came in to ask about dinner.
But I wasn't hungry so I told him not to worry about me.
And Alpha Jackson said that he would get something himself later.I could feel Alpha Jackson keeping an eye on me the whole time I was in his office.
And my phone started going off but when I saw that it was my mother trying to call me, I ignored it.It happened three more times and I realized that it was 11pm and I was still sitting in the office working.
And Alpha Jackson hadn't left either.
"Taylor.Are you planning on going home tonight?" Alpha Jackson asked.
"I can't face my mother right now.Can I sleep here on the couch." I say.
"Don't be stupid.This house has a dozen bedrooms.Come on, we'll go find you one." He says.
So we packed up our stuff and we headed upstairs to the top floor which was usually reserved for the Alpha only.But he told me that I could have the room across from his room since no one else lived in the house.
Not even the Beta.
Alpha Jackson gave me some clothes to sleep in which was just one of his shirts but it was more like a dress on me.
So I had a shower and got dressed and I sat on the windowsill to have a smoke before I climbed into bed.I practically melted into the bed and it was the most comfortable bed and bedding that I have ever slept in, in my entire life.I didn't really want to go to sleep.I wanted to relish in the feeling but I did end up dozing off to sleep.
I woke up on the ground of this wonderous place with the greenest grass and the most beautiful trees around me.I sat up and looked behind me where I could hear water falling and there was a beautiful lake with a waterfall above it.I could see larger than normal creatures flying around but they didn't scare me.
They amazed me.
I got to my feet and walked closer to the water and leaned over a little to see my reflection and I was wearing a beautiful gold and white chiffon dress that was asymmetrical around the bottom of it with a plunging neckline that really showed off the top of my breasts.
"Hello there."
Someone said behind me and I turned around quickly to see a women standing there with long flowing brown hair, wearing a similar dress to mine except only hers was blue and green which matched her green eyes perfectly.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"You're in Morda.The Faerie Kingdom." She says.
"I don't know what to say." I say looking around.
"Well, that's a first." She says.
And I looked at her wondering what she meant by that.
"I know that it's very hard for you to be speechless.That's all." She says.
"How do you know that?" I asked taking a step closer.
"We've been watching you for many years.You haven't been able to see us.But we've seen you.You are so much more than we could have ever imagined." She says smiling warmly at me.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"I'm Layla.I've been assigned to be your guardian." She says.
"I have a guardian?"I asked confused.
"Yes.That's why I've been watching over you over the years.Come, take a walk with me." She says.
So we started walking away from the lake towards the forest that was even more beautiful.
There were flowers that glowed in the darkness of the forest.
Butterflies that lit up when they started flying.
And I was practically turning in circles trying to see everything.And I heard Layla chuckle.
"This is just a dream, right?" I asked.
"Technically, yes.But this really is Morda.You really are seeing the real fearie world.I wanted to meet you so I bought you here in your dreams.I believed that it was time we met.And that it was time you got to know who you really are.I saw that your mother only just told you that you're half faerie." She says.
"But you've always known?" I asked cautiously while looking at her.
"Yes.We've always known.Since the day that you were born.You had the light."She says as she kept walking.
Talking about all of this like it was nothing important.I guess it wasn't important to her.This is all she knew.But this was all so knew to me.I didn't know what to do or say about any of it.
" And what about my father?" I asked as I reached out to touch a plant that was moving on it's own.
It seemed to like it when I stroked it, just like a puppy dog does.
"He's in the kingdom.You will meet him one day, but he thinks that you're not ready." She says.
"He's probably right.I only just found out about him a few hours ago." I say still fascinated by the same plant.
"Exactly.And he knows everything that has happened to you.He knows that you're special.He knows that you're going to be special.Someone to be proud of.And he can't wait to meet you." She says looking at me and she took my hand so that I would look at her.
"It's time for you to go.But we will see each other again.Real soon.I promise.I am your guardian and I will never forget you or leave you to yourself.I will always be there for you." She says.
"What if I don't want to go?" I asked.
"You must.I'm sorry.This is the way that it has to be right now.But you'll have the chance to come here for real, very soon.But I'll see you before then.You be safe."' She says kissing the back of my hand and then she disappeared from right in front of my eyes.
I woke up and I was still in that huge comfortable bed in the packhouse and I looked towards the window and the sun was only just coming up.I assumed that Alpha Jackson was still asleep, so I got up and I headed downstairs to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee.I sat on the front stairs of the packhouse
with a smoke and I saw the warriors who were training go jogging past the house with their instructor and almost all of them slowed down and looked at me when they saw me.
But their instructor yelled at them to keep up the pace.I could only imagine what they were thinking.I was here on the packhouse steps at dawn wearing the Alpha's t-shirt.I knew that didn't look too good at all.
Then I saw Alpha Jackson's car pull up out the front of the house and he got out with a bag in his hands.
"You're up early." Alpha Jackson says walking over to me.
"Yeah.I was going to say the same to you." I say looking at the bag in his hands.
"I went to your house.I talked to your mother and she didn't tell me what happened between you two.She said that she wasn't ready to talk about it.But that she understood that you didn't want to go home yet.So I bought you some of your own clothes." He says sitting beside me and I took the bag from him.
"Do you want to talk about what's going on with your mother?" He asked looking out at the next lot of warriors running past the house.
"I just found out that she's been lying to me my whole life." I say looking down.
And that's when I noticed this lot of warriors also slow down as they passed the packhouse.
"Keep up the pace."
Alpha Jackson yelled.
And they all started running as fast as possible.
"Holy shit.Warn me next time you're going to do that." I snapped at him holding my chest because he scared the crap out of me.
"Sorry.They needed incentive and to get their heads out of the gutter." He says shaking his head.
I went back upstairs with my suitcase and I went into the room across from Alpha Jackson's room and I got changed.
And then I headed downstairs and the cook had breakfast ready.I only ate a little bit before I needed to get going to school.
And as soon as I got there I was getting a lot of looks as I entered the school building.I went to my locker and Parker walked up to me while Emily just kept on walking.I looked after her and she didn't say anything to me so I turned to look at Parker.
"What the hell's her problem?" I asked.
"There's rumours going around." He says looking uncomfortable about talking to me about this.
" What rumours?" I asked turning to look at him straight on.
"Rumours that you spent the night at the packhouse." He says looking down to avoid eye contact.
"That's because I did." I say and his head snapped up to look at me.
"You did." He says shocked.
"I got into a fight with my mother, Alpha Jackson saw that I didn't want to go home so he offered me a room to sleep in.Why is that such a big deal?" I asked.
"Everyone is talking about you sleeping with the Alpha." He says.
"Well, I didn't.So, screw them." I say.
"you don't care that they are saying these rumours about you?" He asked.
"No.Because they're going to continue.Because I am staying there for a little while until I can work things out with my mother." I say.
"Well, well, well.If it isn't the little slut." Someone says behind me.
So I turned around and Missy was standing there with her gang of little twits.
And I slammed my books into Parker's chest and he caught them before they fell.
"What the hell did you just call me?" I growled.
"You heard me." She says sticking her nose up at me.
So I pulled my arm back and punched her directly in the nose and she flew across the hall and landed against the lockers on the other side of the hallway.
