Missed My Way

“What are you doing here? I have been looking for you everywhere,” the girl from before appeared in front of Sam who has walked the halls in circles still looking for her room.

Sam bent over, her hand to her chest, breathing in pants. “ I missed my way.” She simply said, unable to tell the girl the main reason why she had run off by herself.

“Okay, let’s go. The room is over there,” the girl pointed ahead of them and began walking. Sam only nodded mildly and walked after her, her spirit still much dampened from the cold treatment of her supposed mate.

“Here we go!” the girl thrilled stopping in front of the familiar door of Sam. Sam cursed within, recalling she had passed the hall that led to her room but had been too traumatized to recognize it.

“I will bring you a meal immediately.” The girl left afterward, leaving Sam staring after her.

She craved to take a stroll but she knew better, so she pushed the door and went in.

Sitting on her bed, her mind tried to dissect what just happened to her back there. She wanted to feel repelled by his animalistic behavior toward her. For crying out loud he is supposed to be my mate.

What we did is deemed to be intimate for mates if only he had treated me kindly!

The very thought of what had happened between them back there made her body flush anew with want. Of course, any woman would crave more after such an encounter. He was a dream. However, he didn’t see her as a dream.

He saw her as his slave. His sexual slave.

Sam stood and walked to the window to look outside. The outside seemed serene with not a soul abiding. Only lush ground and meadows gazing back at her in mock dismissal.

The door opened slightly, and the girl walked back in bearing her food. “A new development just came up. The Beta said the Alpha ordered you should be made busy within the pack house.”

Sams’s heart soared at the news. That means she could go out of the room.

“Okay,” she breathes out, coming back to sit on her bed.

“I will return to take you to the pack infirmary to help out with taking care of the pups and aged back there,” she said and walked to the door. “Please hurry up, the Alpha is very indifferent when his order is not heeded to punctually. No one wants to be on his bad side,”

“I will,” Sam replied despairingly and the door banged.

Sam sat there staring at the food with no appetite. Work at the infirmary? She has never worked in an infirmary, not to mention taking care of pups and the aged. What manner of trouble has she gotten herself into by stepping in this pack? He should have just killed me than to want to torture me this way. She grieved.

Sam wasn’t a pup person. She had problems relating to their constant whimpering and mischief. Back at her pack when her parents were still alive, her mother had placed Sam in the Alpha’s house to work, and then she, in turn, had done to the infirmary to work, so that Sam doesn’t have to do it.

Sam exhaled and started eating the food half-mindedly.

“Don’t sweat it, Sam,”

The spoon in her hand fell off immediately and she looked about in fright.

Someone just spoke to her now. Did she__no it’s not possible.

The voice snickered, and this time it was clear as day_It was from within her. Her wolf! She just heard her wolf! She has never spoken to her wolf before since she turned eighteen last year.

“I am here, very real,”

“The hell you are! Where have you been all this while?” Sam asked, her spirit elated to the maximum.

“I was here.” The voice returned. “ I didn’t want to show early. I am not cozy with stress,” she said and yawned.

Sam rolled her eyes. What a thing to say after not showing up for more than a year. “Wait, does that mean I can transform?” she was already standing, the food forgotten.

“No, you can’t. You will have to deal with having only m__” Sam.s face fell as her butt found the bed once more. If only she wo__

“I’m just kidding! Of course, you can transform. Why am I here?”

Sam leaped up, at the same time the door flew open and the girl’s face appeared. Her eyes roamed about the room in consternation. Sam knew why.

“Are you okay?” the girl asked and came in fully.

Sam’s head was bobbing inwardly begging her wolf to keep shut.

“I would have sworn I heard a voice, and then when I opened the door you were_”

“Practicing,” the word flew out before she could do stop them. “I was practicing how to…to take care of the pups. You know pups can be very…very hectic if you know what I mean,”

The girl surveyed Sam for an ounce deciding whether to agree with her or not. Finally, “Oh, yeah. They truly can. Which is why you should be glad that they already have Mrs. Berkley. Yours is just to assist her.” She said.

Sam tightened her lips and accompanied the girl’s information with a slight smile. “Of course,” was all she could contribute.

“Why is your food still untouched? We have to__”

“Im not hungry. Maybe later,” she hurried to ahead if the girl to the door, longing to be away from the confines of the wall as soon as possible.

“Okay if you say so. You will have a different story to tell by midday.”

True to the girl’s words, it wasn’t even close to midday when Sam’s stomach threatened to betray her if not fed. She wobbled about the place on unsteady legs as her vision almost failed her.

Her wolf has been mute since she arrived at the facility as if they had an unspoken agreement that she wasn’t expected to talk until Sam got home. Sam appreciated that. She couldn’t wait to get home so they could talk about a lot of things including giving names.

“Sam would be kind enough to scrub Mrs. Carpenters’ ward. News just arrived that the Alpha would be coming for inspection. It’s exciting news since he hasn’t done that for ages,” Mrs. Berkley the pack’s nurse, informed Sam with a smile and walked off.

Sam watched after her with a heavy heart. The Alpha was coming to the infirmary? If it had been long he came here, why does he have the need to suddenly? Is this his form of making sure she is tortured enough?

With the cleaning bucket and mop, Sam made her way to the ward to start scrubbing. She wouldn’t want to gain the wrath of the Alpha more than she already has.

Meanwhile, Alpha Amal was already on his way to the infirmary in an insensitive spirit.
