Call of freedom (rewriting-slow updates)
Chapter 8

Alexia's POV

I woke up from a quite pleasant sleep.

I was sleeping on a bed then I remembered everything. Landon combing my hair, our little chat and how I peacefully slept beside him...

God if I hadn't been so tired I would've given him one good fight.

I tried to sit up but felt an arm restricting my movements...God, why is his arm so strong!

I tried to release myself from him but ended with him increasing his strength and now I'm partially under him. Great...just great...

I kept trying to get away but stopped when I felt his chest vibrate from a chuckle...

"You look so cute when you're trying to escape from me"

"As soon as I get up from under you ogre, I'm gonna kick your ass!" I tried yelling but somehow it was kind of muffled because he was literally sleeping in my freakin body!

"Hmm...Well, that is something I'd like to see, kitten and also what did I tell you about your mouth hmm?"

Amusement swam in his eyes as smirked.

He thankfully shifted most of his weight from on top of me though he caged me using his elbows, our noses touching.

I started to thrash and try to kick him and hit his face.

The keyword is try...

I miserably failed as he put one of his knees between my legs and caging one of them with his other.

"So, what were you saying again kitten?" He kept taunting me.

"Let me go you asshole!"

No sooner had I said those words than he started to pamper me with kisses on my forehead, cheeks, nose, neck and lastly the corner of my lips.

"Why do you keep being a bad disobedient little pup?" He murmured while nibbling my earlobe.

"Because I don't want to be here, I want to be free." I weakly replied and kept bitting my lips to forbid the moans from being heard.

"But I'm your mate kitten, I would never do something you wouldn't like..." he said while kissing my jawline.

"You'll just be like him...Both of you are alpha's and I'm sure you will do the same thing...Torturing me..."

I only said that then I couldn't hold a moan any longer as he lightly bit my soft spot behind my ear.

"Who did what to you Lexi!" He darkly said and his eyes started to darken.

I closed my eyes and kept my mouth shut.

"Are you stupid Lexi?! He's gonna get mad now!"

Cara yelled in my head and retreated to the corner of my mind waiting for our mate's outburst.

"I'm gonna ask you only once. Who did what to you Lexi..."

His voice lower than before but I couldn't bring myself to open my mouth.

I think he took that as a sign that I won't answer and he went silent for a few minutes all I could hear in those agonisingly slow minutes was the loud sound of my fast beating heart...

I thought that he'd release me after he huffed but to my dismay, he put both of my wrists in one of his hands while the other snaked it's way to the hem of his shirt, slightly lifting it.

I took that as my cue and started thrashing and begging him not to lift the shirt more but that encouraged him to continue his assault.

He lifted it more that I opened my now teary eyes and looked at him with my best puppy eyes in the hope of stopping him.

He only took a quick glance at me and continued lifting the shirt till it reached just under my breasts...

His bright honey eyes began to darken and a mixture of many emotions was there..melancholy, anger and others I couldn't pinpoint.

I heard a whimper then he closed his eyes...

I wonder what he thinks of me...am I disgusting? Am I that ugly that he wouldn't even look at me? Many questions were running in my head...

After a few minutes he released my wrists but I was dumbfounded when he caught me in a hug...

"I'm very sorry..." he said in my hair.

Is that it? Will he reject me?

"I'm very sorry that I wasn't able to save you when you needed me...I'm very sorry please forgive me..."

I was astonished...why is he saying that? Why isn't he rejecting me? Shouldn't he reject me? Shouldn't he despise me as they said?

"Why aren't you rejecting me?" Was all I said.

He pulled up from my hair, rested his forehead to mine and look deep in my eyes.

"I would never reject you. I'll kill them for brainwashing you into thinking that I would reject you. That you're ugly. For torturing you. I'll kill them slowly to make them feel what they did to you."

His eyes were now filled with hatred and rage.

"Who did that to you?" He softly asked.

"What?" I was staggered from his question and words...

"Who ruined you my beautiful mate and made you upset?"

"My old pack..."

"Old pack?"

Now He was the one who's astonished.

I nodded my head. I would surely cry if I tried to talk.

"Aren't you a rogue my Lexi?" His features were now as if he was almost sure that I'm bluffing.

"I ran away from them a few days before you found me..."

"What's the name of your old pack?"

"It's t-" I was interrupted as someone knocked on the door of his room...

"ALPHA LANDON, BREAKFAST WILL BE READY IN 30 MINUTES!"

A voice that to my guessing, was a young pup yelled from behind the door then ran away.

Landon returned his entire focus to my eyes, then retreated his body a couple of feet away from me.

When I was about to get away from him, he held me by my waist tightly nuzzling his face in the crook of my neck...

I was too stunned to hug him back or even push him away. I just stayed there like a statue...After a few seconds, he pulled back and softly brushed his knuckles against my cheeks and told me to go and freshen up.

I only nodded not trusting my voice and went to the bathroom but halted right before I closed the door and softly asked him for some clothes to change into.

He told me that while I freshen up, he'd bring me a new change of clothes and lay them for me on the bed with that, I closed the door and checked twice that I locked it.

I luckily found an unused toothbrush which I glad that I found it; for I'm not comfortable using other people's toothbrush.

After freshening up and going to the bedroom and returning with the clothes, I changed into Landon's relatively big clothes...

You'll ask me how did I know it was his. His smell is so strong but I didn't mind that; since one they covered most of my skin if not all and two, his smell calmed me.

I tried rummaging through the bathroom cabins to replace the brush he used for my hair yesterday but froze in my place when I felt myself being lifted from under my armpits and put outside the bathroom on the bed seriously? What am I, a baby?

I glared at him when he came out a few seconds later with a grin on his face.

"What is it, my little mate?"

His grin widened when saying those words.

"What are you doing Landon?" I gritted through my teeth.

He took a couple of steps then lifted me again. This time I sat on his lap...

"I love brushing my sweet little mate's hair, is that a problem my dear?"

I swear I could feel him smirking!!!

I scoffed "Says the one with messy hair."

"My mate's needs are more important than mine."

He said while kissing my soft spot behind my ear.

I shivered from the contact.

"Pervert..." I muttered tho he heard it, turned a deaf ear to it.

Landon begad brushing my hair soon after he untangled it, he begad braiding it to god knows what...

"Done." After a few minutes, he finally said.

No sooner had the word left his mouth than I jumped from his lap.

"Don't you want to see it?" He told me with a little bit of hope scattered in his eyes.

"Awww don't you dare break his heart! Go and check it!" Cara scolded me.

"You're making me feel guilty..."

"You should be, now go already!"

I slowly walked to the walk-in-closet and looked at myself in the mirror and let me tell you, I was quite stunned. My hair was now in an updo hairstyle and it was so pretty!

"How did you manage to do that!"

It's not normal that a guy can do a girl's hair. Right?

"Well, you still don't know many things about me do you?"

He smirked while satisfaction swam in his bright honey eyes.

I scoffed, "Well not my fault you don't tell me a lot duh." I rolled my eyes at his poker face.

I went outside the closet and went to the door but found it locked.

"Ughh, when will you stop with the door lock shit?"

I was becoming pretty annoyed.

"Language young lady. And I won't stop till I trust that you won't run away again."

"That means never...And what are you? My mother?"

It was his turn to scoff. "Give me ten minutes and we'll go down together to have breakfast."

He took off to the bathroom while leaving me in the room without anything to do...

After two minutes from sitting like a statue, I dragged my legs to his desk and found tons of papers...

"He really cares about us..." Cara muttered.

"Why do you think so?"

"Well First we're his mate and secondly he's an alpha; he's got duties and he left them to be with you...it'll cost him a lot of his energy when his work piles up like that," Cara explained.

"Well-"

I was cut off when I heard the bathroom door open revealing a Landon in a naked except a towel that was hanging Dangerously low showing his V line...

"In the name of love of god what the hell are you doing naked!"

I yelled at him and quickly averted my eyes from him while furiously blushing.

"Is my little kitten embarrassed?"

I swear I could feel him smirk while saying that!

"Will you please have some decency and wear some clothes?!"

He simply scoffed and we went silent all I could hear was him taking a few steps and opening a door that I assume the closet to wear clothes...

I suddenly felt a hot breath on my ears and arms wrap themselves around my waist.

I screamed while opening my eyes quickly and started clawing and kicking at the arms that I now realised that they belong to Landon; the sparks which erupted from our touch eerily calmed me...

I tried to aim a kick to his kneecap. The keyword is tried... He easily blocked me and threw me in the air.

Yup just like your heard me, he threw me in the air like a doll...

Before I either scream or hit the floor, I found myself in his arms holding his neck as if my life depended on it.

Don't get me wrong; if I did hit the floor, I'd probably end up with a concussion. Even though I'm a she-wolf, my healing ability is a bit off since I'm still weak.

"What are you doing!" I yelled at him.

"Carrying you?" He said with a duh tone.

He then said pressed his lips onto my cheek and started his way to the door while me being me started to thrash in his arms.

You're all thinking why would I do that? Because I'm a bitch? No. Because I hate him?

Not entirely but still no...

Because one he's not wearing a shirt, and two, I AM NOT GOING OUTSIDE AND LET ANYONE SEE ME GET CARRIED LIKE A BRIDE!!!

"NO, YOU ARE NOT!" I started to thrash more and more he, on the other hand, began to laugh out loud...

I guess it began to be hard for him to carry me like that so he changed my position and now I was dangling from his bloody shoulder...

I didn't stop thrashing and began clawing his bareback but to no use minutes later I found myself in another room and I'm now on my lovely mate's lap. Please note the sarcasm.

"Good morning Alpha, Luna. What can I cook for you?" An unfamiliar voice spoke from around the kitchen island.

"Good morning Mary. The same would be good for both of us." Landon cheerfully spoke.

This Mary talked as if she were in her mid-forties. She looked quite young for her body shape though and gave a happy aura.

Mary left us to cook while I tried to sit up on another chair but Landon being Landon, kept an iron grip on my waist not letting me move...

I'm not going to obey anyone's command tho.

"For fuck's sake dude let me go I'm not a child!" I gritted through my teeth.

"Language!" Landon scolded while flicking my nose.

We kept quarrelling for some time until Mary came back.

"Excuse me, your breakfast is ready." Mary suddenly interrupted us with a giggle.

I blushed furiously and muttered a thank you to her.

She mumbled a welcome with a chuckle and left the room now I was all alone again with Landon.

I wonder if She's as nice as she seems...Maybe she'll turn out just like her...

"Come on the food's gonna get cold."

My mate interrupted my thoughts.

"Huh? Uh...yeah right."

I mumbled before I tried to get off his lap but without use he kept me trapped with his muscular arm.

"God I'm not gonna run away!" I said while waving my hands to add a little more drama to the moment.

He seemed to be in deep thought before he asked me, "If I let you sit on the chair, will you obediently eat?"

"YES!"

I replied hesitantly and started wiggling around until he huffed and let me go. I started to eat whatever he put in my plate.
