The Human's Alpha

LilyI woke up the next morning to an empty bed. Which made me frown. Until I smelled the bacon. That smell always perks me right up. I hopped out of bed and put on one of Derek's old t shirts before scampering out to the kitchen. I found him shirtless in our small kitchen with white cabinets, grey countertops and an island big enough to seat three. I sat down in one of our stools to watch him work."Good morning, sweet girl." He says as he hands me a cup of coffee."You spoil me so." I say wistfully as he loads bacon, eggs and hashbrowns on a plate for me."I know how hard you can take days like yesterday. I don't want you falling into a low point. Do you need me to stay home today?"When I was in college I was diagnosed with depression after my parents were killed in a car accident. I kept thinking my melancholy state was due to the accident, but my therapist said I probably always had depressive tendencies and the accident just exacerbated my condition. Luckily, I found the right c

LilyI felt my eyelids flutter open and took a moment to allow my vision to clear. I was staring at a white ceiling above me. I allowed my eyes to wander the room. I was in a very large bed, tucked under a dark blue comforter. I lifted the blanket gently and saw with relief that I was still wearing the same clothes I had come here in. There was bright sunlight streaming in through a large window that was surrounded by floor length gray drapes and light gray walls. There were two small dressers, a door that looked like it opened into a bathroom and another door that was shut. I turned my head in the other direction and, sitting in a large chair typing away on a laptop, was my kidnapper."Good morning, Lily." He says quietly."Morning?" I ask. I can barely croak out the word through my dry mouth."Yes, you've been asleep for about sixteen hours." I gawk at him as the events of yesterday come rushing back."You bit me!" I scream at him. He sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose."Yeah,

LilyIt's been five days since I have been trapped in this house. The only reason I know that is because every day Liam leaves the house in the evening and shortly after the flames lick my body. After the second night, Sam and I developed a routine. As soon as Liam would leave, Sam would fill my bathtub with cold water and as much ice as he could and when the pain started, I would sink in to the freezing cold water, fully clothed and ride it out. It didn't take the pain away, but it did take the edge off enough that I didn't pass out anymore. After Liam was done, I would start to shake so Sam would turn on the shower to a warm setting and sit in there with me. He didn't seem to mind getting soaking wet, and since dealing with the pain took up so much of my energy I could barely stand upright. I don't think I could survive this new pathetic existence if it weren't for Sam.As much as the physical pain was taking a toll on me, the emotional pain was just as bad. Every time Liam left the

Liam I hear Sam's heavy, tired footsteps making his way to my home office. He opens the door and shuts it quietly behind him before collapsing into the chair across from my desk. He runs both hands down his face and sighs heavily. "She's finally asleep." He says tiredly. "I figured." I respond. "The stabbing pain in my chest has lulled to a dull ache." "Yeah I felt it too." "You did?" I ask. "Yeah. I think the whole pack did to a certain extent. She doesn't know she can broadcast her emotions to us, let alone how to control it." He answers. I sigh myself and look over at my exhausted beta. "Thank you for all you're doing for her. I know it's not in your job description. Any idea when Callum will be back?" He shakes his head. "He and Kara are having a hard time with the baby. I guess she doesn't sleep well. I told him to take his time though. I don't mind spending time with Luna." I nod. "She'll be alright. She just needs to get closer to the pack." "Liam. I think she's depre

Lily We arrive back at Liam's house and I head up to my room to start on another baby blanket and Sam agrees to make us some lunch. I hear him start up the stairs, only to be stopped by a voice. "Hey Sam. How was Callum's?" Liam asks. "Great! Luna had both the baby and Kara tucked into bed before we left." "Really?" Liam says a bit disbelieving. Sam only chuckles in response. "Yeah she even figured out the cheek rubbing thing." "All on her own?" Liam asks, stunned again. "Yep." Sam responds popping the 'p' on the end "Oh good, so that explains why you smell like her and I won't need to kick your ass for touching my mate." Sam chuckles again and I hear him start walking towards my room. "Nope, Alpha no need." "Well, it sounds like she is coming to terms with things, settling in well and taking to her responsibilities." "It was only one visit, Alpha. She still needs time." "I know, but it sounds like it went well. I'm pleased with the progress. Thank you for doing as I asked
