The unknown Alpha

AURORA RUSSET

I woke up again in an unfamiliar room.

The room was lavishly decorated with long, dark curtains that blocked off any source of light and I couldn't see if it was still bright outside.

Where was I?

There was no clock or anything I could use to tell the time and I had no idea how long I had been out.

I tried getting up and sitting upright on the bed but I slumped back weakly.

My whole body felt weak and I tried getting up again .

"You should just stay lying down." A deep voice rang out and I looked towards where it had come from.

"You, Its you." I cried out.

Seated languidly on a couch in the far end of the room was the man from earlier.

The one that had barged into my hospital room, Alexander Blackthorn and who apparently had abducted me.

I tried getting up again and the pain wracked through my body.

"Just lie down and don't move." He said again

"You have no right to tell me what to do and besides, where am I?" I demanded angrily.

He just laughed out loud, as if mocking my attempt to be stern despite my weak state.

His laugh angered me to no extent and I wished I could wipe the grin off his face.

"Where did you bring me?" I demanded again, this time even more firmly.

He stood up and walked up to the curtains, drawing it open and light instantly flooded the room.

"Home, I brought you home." He said turning to look at me in all seriousness.

I blanked out.

Home?

I had no idea where home was due to my amnesia but this dark and cold room I was in didn't feel like home in any way.

How was this place my home?

"Stop talking rubbish and tell me where exactly I am or better still take me back to the hospital" I said, my voice getting weaker by the moment.

I wished I could snap my fingers at him to show him how much I meant my words.

He walked over to the side of my bed and peered down at me.

"Just like I said, you're home and you are going nowhere." He replied.

In the instant he leaned down, his face was brought very close to mine and I couldn't help but marvel at how handsome he was.

How could a human being be so perfect?

I shook my head to shake off my distraction.

"You don't get to hold me here without my permission." I tried to shout at him but my tone held no power behind it.

"You don't have a say in this matter. All you should do is stay here, regain your strength and look after my baby." He said and straightened his body in an upright position.

"Don't you dare lay claim to my child. This baby isn't yours. I don't even know you so why would you claim to be the father of my child." I scoffed at him.

"You know me too well, Tesoro and whether you choose to believe it or not, the baby is mine." He drawled out.

"I don't know who you are, neither do I have any recollection of you being the father of my baby." I retorted.

He leaned in closer again, making me flinch before I realized he was trying to brush the hair that covered my face.

His touch was cool and gentle on my face.

"Get your hands off me." I snarled at him and he stopped his movement and stood up, before heading back to the chair he previously sat on.

"You haven't changed one little bit Dio, your temper is still the same. Hot and feisty." He said, chuckling at his own words.

What was funny about all this?

I rolled my eyes at him in anger.

"Don't you dare touch me, else I'll report you for kidnapping and assault of a pregnant woman." I said, gazing at him in warning.

"It's not kidnapping or assault if you are my wife." He flashed a grin at me and I glared at him in annoyance again.

What was with him and his claims of me being his wife?

I had no recollection of being married to anyone yet he kept insisting on it.

Just as I was about to reply him, a phone rang, interrupting me.

Looking around, I tried to locate it but realized it wasn't mine.

He brought it out of his pocket and walked up to the window to receive the call.

He talked for several minutes to the person on the other line.

I couldn't hear what they were talking about but it sounded serious from the way his expression kept changing.

Once he was done with the call, he turned to look at me.

"Tesoro, I have to leave to tend to some matters. Wait here, I'll be back soon." He said and turned to leave.

"Hey where are you going? I'm not done talking to you." I shouted out at my view of his back.

"Don't go anywhere, just wait here and don't miss me too much." He turned to wink at me and then walked out.

Once he was gone, I laid there seething in anger.

"The nerve of him to order me around." I huffed angrily.

And why the hell would he tell me not to miss him?

Who misses someone they don't know?

Definitely not me, I found him extremely annoying and I cursed my past self for even getting involved with him if he really was my husband like he said.

My head was still reeling in pain and I raised my hand to massage the middle of my head to see if it'll alleviate the pain.

As I massaged my head, I thought about the man who had just left and what he said.

Could he really be the father of my child?

I thought back to the words of the doctor from yesterday when he had told me I had amnesia.

Maybe what he was saying was all true and the only reason I couldn't remember was because of my memory loss.

Pushing aside my doubts, I tried to remember how and when I had met him before yesterday.

He had a remarkably striking face and body and would surely make an impression on anybody so I figured if I thought hard enough, I would remember.

A loud ring buzzed in my head and I felt a splitting headache coming on.

I stopped trying to force myself to remember and simply accepted the fact that my memories would have to slowly come back but first, I needed to get out of here.

Mustering the last of my strength, I pushed myself off the bed and stood up.

My steps wobbled as I tried walking, my legs muscles were stiff from lying in bed for a long time and they trembled as I walked.

I walked across the room several times until I was finally able to stand a little bit firmly on my feet.

Walking up to the only door that led into the room, I tried pulling it open but to my dismay, I discovered that it was locked from outside.

That bastard.

He had locked me in.

Why did he even bother telling me not to go anywhere when he was going to keep me locked up in here anyway.

Cursing under my breath, I walked up to the window to see if it was low enough for me to jump out but to my disappointment, I discovered that it was very high.

It seemed like we were in some sort of story building and if I tried to jump down from this height, I would seriously injure myself or even worse, end up dying.

Now completely frustrated, I went back and sat on the bed thinking about how I was going to escape this place.

I had no idea where I would go once I left here, but I couldn't just stay here doing nothing.

Alexander or whatever his name was could be a dangerous man for all I knew.

He could be a kidnapper or a serial murderer even.

My mind told me it was dangerous staying too close to someone like him and I had to act fast.

I stood up and walked around the room trying to find a rope or something I could use as a rope to climb down the window but I found nothing.

When I opened the closet in the room, all I saw was men clothing and I groaned in frustration.

Everything in here was useless, I could try tying them together, but it would take too long for me to join them all long enough to reach the ground and Alexander could come back anytime soon.

My gaze landed on the long curtains and I smiled in triumph.

Finally, something long enough that could hold my weight.

pulling open the drawers by the bedside, I tried to find something something sharp I could use to rip it apart and luckily for me, I found a pocket knife.

I dragged the curtains down and cut them in pieces tying each ends until it was long and firm.

Then, I tied one end firmly to the bed frame and threw the other end down the window.

It reached down to the ground and I breathed in relief.

I pulled the window open widely and placed my left leg on the other side, preparing to climb down the window when a voice rang out angrily from behind me.

"What the hell are you doing, Tesoro." Alexander bellowed behind me and all the blood drained from my face in fear.

"Shit." I exclaimed out loud.
