Waking up
Alexandria's POV
I wake up in a strange bed. Sitting up I take in my surroundings. The room is beautiful. This bed feels like I am on a cloud. There is a beautiful French door that is open letting the morning sun shine in. Yawning and stretching I pull myself from the bed trying to remember what happened two days ago. The last thing I recall is going home after my date with my mates. How did I get here? I think to myself. Where are my mates? My kids? My family? I hope they are okay. When I stand up I notice that I am dressed in silky white lingerie. Who the hell changed me? And where is my dress? I feel panic start to rise up in my heart. What am I going to do? I think to myself. How am I going to get home? I look around for anything I can use as a weapon. There is nothing in here. Damn it!
"Good morning." a strange man greets from the door way. I turn to face him just staring him down. He has a tray of food with him. "Here have some breakfast. You must be starving." He states as he sets the tray down on a table. I stay firmly where I am waiting for him to tell me what he wants from me. When he doesn't say anything I decide to ask. "What do you want from me?" I ask feeling extremely annoyed. I just want to get home to my mates. I think to myself. The man says nothing. I look him over. He's probably a little older than Zachary. He's got auburn hair with these bright brown eyes. They look almost orange. The man smiles at me as he notices me staring. "I am not the person who took you. I am his father. I just thought you might be hungry." He explains with a smile.
"When can I go home to my mates and family?" I inquire. His cheerful expression falls off his face. "You have mates?" He asks with a solemn look on his face. "Yes and three children that are probably worried sick about me." I explain. He looks away from me for a minute trying to hide the anger on his face. He turns back to face me. "Look honey, I am sorry this is happening. You still need to eat. There are clothes in the closet and dresser. The bathroom is through there. Eat and clean up and come downstairs when you are done. My son will want to see you." He softly comments. I can't help but feel like I've met him before. He looks so familiar.
I go to the food realizing I am starving. I try to use my wolf to sniff for anything weird about the food before I dig in. Satisfied I eat the whole plate. It was absolutely delicious. Looking through the clothes I realize that most of these are actually mine. How in the hell did he do this? I wonder to myself. Finding an outfit to wear, I head to the shower to get myself together. I come out of the bathroom to change into my outfit. I picked a pair of skinny jeans, a dark purple tank top and my black sneakers. I brush my hair out and put it up in a high bun on top of my head.
I nervously go to the door to head downstairs but I am not sure I can do this. I know the sooner I get this over with the sooner I can go home. Taking a deep breathe I open the door. I am taken over by a number of smells over whelming my senses. My wolf keeps warning me that something is weird and not right here. "Mate" my wolf howls. What the hell I ask her? Is Tony or Zach here? I feel my wolf whimper and flop down shaking her head no. I don't understand what in the world is going on. I walk down the stairs and my body takes me to a big oak door. I smell something amazing on the other side of the door. I am scared to death to open this door. My body makes no attempt to grip the door knob.
"Come in Alex" a voice from inside calls out to me. I have an over whelming sense of deja vu. I open the door and enter the giant office. There are four desks surrounding a set of couches with a coffee table in the middle. I look around at the three men and one woman around the room. They all seem so familiar but for the life of me I can't figure out from where. "Hello" the woman greets taking my hand and leading me to the couch. I sit beside her. She seems to know me as well. The woman keeps a grip on my hand almost steadying me.
"So, we are hoping you'll help us with something." The oldest man states to me. He looks to be about fifty years old, maybe older. "With what?" I ask wanting to just get this over with so I can go home. The woman's hand tightens around mine. "We want you to help us deal with a problem we have but first we want you to join our coven." The youngest man states as he comes over and tries to touch my face. He looks to be about my age and when he comes closer I put a death grip on the woman's hand and back away from him. He lets his hand fall to his side. "If you fill me in I will help with your problem. However, I have kids and mates to get home to." I explain as I look around the room at the people before me. "You are mated?" The younger guy asks. "Yes I have two mates. My first mate died when I was a teenager before we could mate. I was a mess afterward for years. The mates I have now helped put me back together with the help of my sisters." I explain as I let go of the woman's hand. The younger guy grips my shoulders and pulls me to him. Looking at my marks on my shoulders. He runs his nose from my hair down to my ear. The guy starts growling and storms out of the room. I swallow the lump in my throat as I realize I have tears running down my face.
