The Alpha S First Choice

"I'm not going to the party" I told them for the nth time "I was in the hospital yesterday, remember?"

"What's with everyone's health these days" Tyler murmured

"Who else is sick?" I asked

"Maya" Emma said, my breath hitched "She has been having a difficult pregnancy. Humans are physically weaker than us so it's hard for them to carry a pup."

"So the hosts would be absent from today's party" Sara said "Yesterday's event exhausted her and made her sick and Liam is busy nursing her" My wolf yelped.

"Let's go to the party" I yelled "I need a drink"

Evan pulled me to a corner "Are you alright? Where did you disappear yesterday? What's going on? Is there something you're not telling us?"

"Stop stop stop" I raised my hand "I'm all right"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

"Ok" he turned to leave

"And Evan" he looked back "I love you" he gave me a 'you have lost it' look. I grinned.

***

"What's going on?" Emma asked. She ran her hand all over my face, worried.

I pushed her hand away "leave me alone" I whined, she was adding to my misery

"You're drunk Eva" Sara said

"No shit Sherlock" I giggled. Pushing Emma further away from me I started to try and unhook my dress. Damn, where's the stupid hook.

My hands were suddenly pinned on either side of the sofa "leave me alone" I yelled; maybe they can't hear me because of the loud music "Hot! Hot! Hot!" I blasted again. They won't still let me go. Someone tie my hair please, it's hot in here.

"I don't think it's just alcohol" someone said. Is that my Evan? Come here let me hug you. Here. Here. Where is he?

"Hold on a second, Eva" that sure was Emma "You'll be fine; I promise"

"Did someone add something in her drink?" Sara piped in. That woman has crazy imagination. Shut up! I'm hot, do something about it fellas.

"I think she's in heat. I can smell her" was it Tyler this time? Whoa! Am I a museum piece? Why are there so many eyes on me? Should I dance for them? Well that could make me feel better, I guess.

I was about to push whoever was holding my spirits down when I felt like I was suddenly flying in the open sky. Yay!

"Evan what are you doing" Emma? I guess there was no relief from the mother hen even in the free sky. Sigh!

"I do not like the number of eyes on her" whoa! Someone just spoke from under me. It's Evan, my twin, my wings "Heat or not she's not staying here."

"Let's take her home" someone said

"You are not following us, Justin" Evan yelled louder than the music "you're not mated" Why? Why? Why? I like Justin, let's take him, please.

****

"Key" What? What key? I don't have a key. I'm the lock; remember? Hehehehe....

"In her pocket" someone's touching me again. Do I like it? Hmmm.... Give me a moment to think about it.

**

Ahhhh....Ahhhh....Ahhhh!!!

What the hell is going on? Shower? Why am I under the shower? It's strangely comforting though.

"Are you awake, love" Emma asked

"Yeah, what happened" I am trying hard to open my eyes. I slap my head a couple of times to make sense of things.

"We think you're in heat" Sara said from somewhere "so Evan brought you home. The boys went back; they're not allowed here today"

"Heat?" I couldn't think straight, goddess, what did I drink? "But....but it's not the season yet" I managed to cohere a sentence. I could feel my wolf jumping up and down. Not now, I told myself, she was my worst enemy at this moment. I pushed myself further into the shower.

"We don't understand that either" Emma murmured "It's just you, we are all fine"

I couldn't point out the exact moment reality hit me, but it was there before I realized it. I knew why I was in heat and more importantly for whom.

I shut my eyes tight. Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out. I repeated. No tears. No tears.

"Guys can you leave me alone" I managed to say

"But, there's not one in your house" Sara protested

"What if something happens" Emma added

"Please" I begged "I can handle this, guys. I don't want to ruin it for everyone"

"No"

"Lock the door, only my family members have the key"

After another fifteen minutes of Emma's lecture. I finally shut the door downstairs on her face. I could hear her tugging at the lock to double check.

*****

I turned away from the door and started pulling off my clothes one by one.

I rushed upstairs, into my room, then straight under the running shower.

The heat dampened a little under the cold water. But my thoughts were constantly pulling me towards the one face that I wanted to forget. It was a cyclic process that didn't let my heat cool down.

I was out of tears, I needed to stop thinking. That was the only way out. I was in the shower for over an hour now. I grabbed a towel for my hair and put on the softest white bathrobe. Walking up to my drawer I pulled out a couple of sleeping pills and gulped them down.

Stop thinking. Stop thinking. Stop thinking. I wipe away the fresh set of warm tears.

I needed more than this. I needed a drink.

***

I could sense someone as I climbed down the stairs

"Mom, are you home? I thought you guys were staying at the pack house today" I inquired

Stranger, it was a stranger, a human. He turned away from the open refrigerator to look at me, I stared back. Whether it was the drinks that I had at the party or the pills, I couldn't tell; but fear was definitely not the emotion I felt.

"Umm.... I was told that the house was empty" the stranger smiled awkwardly "did I disturb you?"

A polite intruder? "Who are you?"

He scratched his head "Hi, I'm Mark" he fumbled with two large boxes in his hand

I rolled my eyes "And why are you here, Mark?"

"We ran out of alcohol. Your brother?" now he was questioning himself "Yes, your brother, he was too stoned to move so he gave me the key, he said he had a stock"

Yeah, I got that one, typical Zach.

I was a few feet away from him by then; my wolf was pulling me away from him, filling my head images of my mate.

That made me mad. I wanted to hate her, punish her for being so stupid and naïve. I have been following her blindly for almost a decade, and what did I get in return, a life full of misery and loneliness to look forward to?

"I was actually looking for a drink too" I said. Was that my husky voice? Blame it on the heat, not me "Do you mind if I steal some away from you?"

"No....I mean.... Sure, please" his cheeks colored. He was cute. See what I mean? I was missing out so much fun. Stop thinking. Stop thinking. I repeated the mantra.

I quickly pulled out a couple of bottles from one of the boxes, sat down on the floor of the hall, and gulped down half a can before looking up at him.

He had his eyebrows raised

"What?" I questioned "sit down" patting the place next to me.

He smiled and sat down.

"So, you are a human?"

"I think so" he laughed "I was one, the last time I checked"

I nodded my head gulping some more alcohol down "Why are you here then?"

"My 'human' buddies are getting married in a week" he answered like he would answer at an interview "So I, like a good human being, am here to support my friends"

"Ah, the human wedding" I remembered, 'human', that made me giggle.

"Are you crying?" What? No, I was laughing, couldn't he see?

I touched my face, sure enough they were wet "eye infection" I said. He nodded.

"Are you a doctor too?"

"Yes"

"Are you Mr. Uptight too?"

He was laughing at me "No" he grinned "is Liam Mr. Uptight?"

"Yes" I said without thinking

"Do you hate him?" he was inches away from me now, my wolf was going crazy, was she pulling me away or pushing me towards him?

"I'm not allowed to hate him" I whispered

"Whose permission do you need to hate him?"

"Nature's" I murmured

He groaned "you're drunk"

"Yes"

"You're beautiful"

"Yes"

The next second, his lips were on me.

I knew what I wanted. I had a plan which I don't remember forming. But I was confident. This was the first clinical trial of that plan.

I pulled him into me and kissed him back. My wolf calmed down as I slowly let my mind form an image of a familiar yet distant pair of green eyes.

I was thinking of a man who had a ring around his finger. Was I supposed to feel guilty?

He owed me this much. I needed this to survive and I was weak enough to admit that this wasn't going to be the last time I was using him.

*****

I could feel the guilt creeping up as he placed me down on my bed me and stood up to take his shirt off. I was losing my nerves; I won't be able to do it. I close my eyes as he closed the distance.

One moment I could feel him breathing down my face and the next, he was gone.

I open my eyes to a loud growl. A scary looking Liam was towering over me, his eyes darkening by each second. Oh dear goddess, was he going to shift in front of a human?

I could see Mark standing up from the corner where he was, I presume, dumped by Liam.

I look back at Liam "What are you doing here?" I asked stupidly.

He was moving towards me. I quickly brought up a pillow to my face. Don't kill me please.

I felt a heavy duvet over me. I peeked from behind my pillow. Oh! I was underdressed. He sure loves throwing clothes at people.

"Liam man what was that?" oh I almost forgot Mark.

Liam growled "Leave" He was gritting his teeth, you could visibly see his effort to control his animal. My wolf let out a happy howl inside me, she sure senses her mate getting excited.

"Why?" I like Mark, he was asking for logic even at the brink of his doom.

Liam turned to glare at him, Mark gasped. I'm sure he saw the change. He must have never seen this side of Liam.

"Leave" he growled again

"NO" it was me this time. I think it was the frustration of my body not cooperating with me, it made me act stupid. I threw away the duvet (I'm burning) "You are the one who should leave"

The next second, I was pushed hard against the headboard with my mate's fingers around my neck "How dare you" he yelled. His wolf was almost there and it scared me to death. I couldn't utter one word of protest. His glare made me feel guilty; I lowered my gaze in shame.

"What's wrong with you, Liam" Mark tried to pry Liam's grip off me. I shook my head at Mark indicating at him to stay away.

I looked at Liam "You're hurting me" I choked

He gave me a final look of hatred and let go.

"I think you should leave" I told Mark, I could see Liam shaking with anger and fighting for control.

"But, what's going on?" Mark asked, confused.

I took a deep breath, I sure was doing a lot of explanation on his behalf today "Liam is my friend's brother, he is protective of me like a little sister" I gritted out, Liam let out a strange laugh, I ignored him.

Mark shook his head "I understand" he turned to leave "I'll see you around I guess" Liam took a step in his direction, I held him back, man, he was powerful.

"Thank you" I said "And Mark, please keep this" I pointed at me and him "between us. My brothers won't really appreciate it. I can't guarantee the safety of your neck"

He grinned, "I like you" I forced a smile, holding onto Liam for my dear life. Mark gave one confused glance at Liam and left.

I let go off Liam and took a deep breathe.

"You sure are fast" I heard him say, his voice laced with anger and hatred.

"You shouldn't be here" I said, he needs to leave, my body was reacting to him and I knew I would soon lose control over it.

"Why? Did I disturb your pleasure time?" he spitted out "Is this what you've been doing all these years?" he let out a laugh "I was feeling guilty for nothing"

I remained silent, he wasn't in his senses, I'm sure my heat was affecting him too.

He bent down, held my jaw in a tight grip and forced me to look up "Look at me when I talk to you" he barked "You had no problem talking to your lover, why don't you use some of your charm on me too?" he looked like a maniac, I have never seen anyone look like this ever "Am I not worth your efforts? Hmmm?" his eyes were glowing dangerously in the moonlight coming from the open window.

So this is what a possessive Liam looked like. My wolf purred. My body heated up, I realized his madness was turning me on. Oh dear goddess! I moaned.

I picked up the last shred of self-control and said "I'm in heat. You shouldn't be here." I looked up at him. His eyes darkened.

He was closer than I anticipated. I felt his breath on my lips warming them up before he took them in his own.

I felt my animal growl in pleasure. I saw my eyes darken, mirrored in his equally dark one. I lost my senses as he pushed me down and climbed on me. My human was no longer in control.

*****

The first morning rays hit my face. I moaned and turned away, my hand automatically went to the empty side of my bed. It was strangely warm, like someone just left.

I jerked open my eyes and sat up.

My heartbeat raced, i closed my eyes in pleasure. He was here. He was the one who put off my heat.

I cupped my face with my hands, my face was burning.

I let the pleasure sink in before I looked at his side of the bed. I ran my hand over the warm sheet. He was sleeping here. I rolled over and buried my face in his pillow. I let my tears fall free, seeking comfort in his scent.

There was a paper under his pillow. It was the permission letter from alpha Blake.

So, he was here to give me the letter. He was here to see me off. He wanted to personally make sure that I was no longer a thorn to his perfect life.

I smiled, at least there was no 'I'm sorry' note attached to it. He wasn't leaving me with his pity.

That was my cue to leave. I picked up my backpack and put the permission letter in along with my certificates. With one last glance at my room, I climbed off the window and ran without a backward glance and only stopped once I was out of the pack's territory.

I wasn't expecting much from my new life; I'll be fine as long as it didn't remind me of the world I left behind.
