The Alpha

My head was buzzing. There was a throbbing pain. My head felt like it was spinning and I squeezed my eyes shut to try to regain some type of equilibrium. I tried opening my eyes and bright white light invaded my vision.

Wincing, I shut my eyes and waited for them to adjust before I tried to reopen them. I opened and closed them a few times before I was able to see. There was a steady beeping and I titled my head to the side to see where it was coming from. A heart monitor. I was in the hospital. I felt tears come to my eyes.

...Where am I?...

The door opened and a doctor walked in. I felt my heart rate accelerate, and the heart monitor kept beeping and beeping. I quickly sat up and my body fluttered with pain.

“Woah, Woah, Woah!” The doctor chuckled and jogged towards me, flinching away from him I brought my knees up to me, ignoring the discomfort. He came right by the bed and reached out and grabbed my arm, I cowered away from the man.

Men weren’t my favorite due to my past experiences.

“You’re awake! So... the Alpha will come to check on you in about an hour.” He spoke. I looked at the man. He has curly brown hair and tan skin. He has long stubble that has hints of grey in it. He looks older, maybe 40? Mid-forties? His name tag contains three letters. R-E-X. Rex.

He went on talking about my health and I didn’t pay attention at all. I was just staring at the ground, my heartbeat was not slowing down in the slightest way, and the fact that he still had his hand on my arm didn’t help.

“Now- we have you under some medication that I injected you with when you arrived. And it will make your body just a little weaker.” I can’t afford to be weaker. “But that will only benefit me…” he mumbled to me. I snuck a look up at the doctor. His eyes turned dark, and I got a sick feeling in my stomach. The same look Alpha Chris gave me.

...Wait, where is Alpha Chris?...

He dragged his hand down from my arm to rest on my knee and I froze. Maybe I should’ve pushed him off or done something but I was in an unfamiliar place, not remembering past events that well, and I was unfocused.

He pulled down the blanket a little and my heartbeat spiked along with the beeping.

“I’m just going to check the bruising on your knees,” he pulled down the blanket some more until it was at my ankles. He moved his hand to the end of the hospital gown and I flinched.

...How did that get on me?...

“The bruising looked bad,” he added as he pulled it up to my mid-thighs. While he did that something in me fluttered, anticipating something and I was beyond confused by that. I didn’t want this man’s hands on me, why would I anticipate that?

“Now, let me take off this,” I flinched as he reached behind me and I couldn't help as my hand swatted him away. I knew I’d get punished for it but I couldn’t help it.

“N-no!” I whispered and tried to scoot away from him.

“Don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything,” he said, slightly growly. He clasped his hand around my thigh and I shivered with disgust.

A thunderous growl tore through the room.

I cowered even more at that sound but my heart tightened, like in a good way. Was this what my subconscious was anticipating? I glanced over at the door and saw a tall man with striking dark blue eyes. He was standing next to a woman with a clipboard and she was looking at me and the man with wide eyes.

Wow, he’s pretty.
