The Alphas And The Orphan

Monday 3rd January cont…..

Star’s POV

It has been one of the weirdest days, but also one of the best days at the same time. Everywhere I go, at least one of the three has been there. Not that I am complaining, but it has reminded me how much I used to enjoy hanging out with them.

when we were kids we were always together, mum and dad worked in the gardens and had a little cottage just across from the pack house, so the triplets and I used to play together every day, Alpha Andrew used to call us the four musketeers.

Come to think of it, Alexei used to steal my hair ties then as well.

After lunch, Ace walked with me to science. Via our lockers, we chatted the entire way; we were both laughing about something stupid when we got to class, and instead of sitting at the back like normal, he plonked himself in the seat next to me, so we are now lab partners.

Then in art Miss Tibbins, “decided to mix things up,” she came around the room and gave each of us a folded piece of paper, when we opened it there was a number, mine was 7 we had to find the person who had the same number and they would be our “imperative partner” for the whole term.

Can you guess who had the other number 7? Of course, it was Alexei. A very weird day indeed!

Our task for today was to “capture each other’s presence”. She really is a f*****g nut job. So we sat opposite each other. I decided on painting Alexei in water colours. It came out pretty well. He told me he was going to do a caricature, so I poked out my tongue at him. He pretended to take a photo.

I was struggling with my hair, so he actually gave me my scrunchy back, the first one I have ever got back.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

We had a lot of fun. When we were done, he had sketched me. It was beautiful. I was concentrating on my painting. It blew my mind. I had never been “seen” like that before. He made me beautiful.

He loved my watercolour and said I should give it to his mum for her birthday, and tell her I painted her favourite son.

I told him that I thought Ashton was her favourite, as he was the baby, causing him to scowl at me.

Then the library with Ace. We spent the entire hour in a heated debate over two authors. Finally, I said we should do both and draw on their differences. Goddess, it sounds stupid, but I really liked arguing with him.

Then it all fell to s**t. Now I have missed the f*****g bus; I put my bag on my back and started walking. I had got half way up the land when I heard a car coming from school. It slowed beside me, and I thought it may be the triplets.

A door opened as I turned and a hand grabbed me around the throat and pinned me against the car. I look and recognised him from the football team, Dexter I think. He pushed his knee between my legs.

“We heard you needed to be taught your place. Punching innocent girls is bad, little rank bunny. I’m gonna show you what a real man feels like.” I feel him pulling my skirt up. f**k, the other three boys were out of the car now, “we’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, bitch.”

I heard a zipper being pulled down and felt hands grabbing my panties. Then they were gone. I look up to see Ashton and I throw myself at him, crying; he lifts me up and carries me to their car. He puts me in the back and gets in with me.

“It’s ok baby, I’ve got you. We won’t let them hurt you, I promise.” I feel him kissing my head while I cling to him. The door behind me opens and Ace gets in and hugs me from behind.”Are you OK Tink? Did they hurt you?”

His voice is low and gravelly, his wolf close to the surface. I turn and hug him. “thank you for saving me, they were going to…to..”

He hugs me back, rubbing my back. Alexei gets in the front and drives off. “are you ok, fairy-girl?” I nod at him through the rear-view mirror.

We will drop you home. “No, umm, I have an appointment with Alpha Andrew. Can you take me home with you?”Ace gives me a really strange look but nods at me. “Ace? Did you kill them?”

“No Tink, we didn’t kill them yet; warriors arrived and taken them to the cells.”

“I think Charlotte sent them. They said it was to teach me my place, for punching innocent girls.” Alexei growls from the front.

“it’s ok Star, they will not touch you again, OK baby?” When we arrive at the Pack house, the boys lead me to their dad’s office.

“Thank guys, I’ll see you tomorrow.” I turn to knock on the door, but Alexei grabs my hand. “You’ve had a nasty shock, so we will drive you home when you finish with dad, OK?” I touch his arm lightly. “I’m ok, Lexi. I can get home on my own. It’s not far.”

The boys don’t look happy, but once they leave I knock on the Alphas Door and wait.
