Weird Romance Novel

"Seb brought you here so that you would be safe"

Jason explains, I guess he noticed the distraught expression on my face but the problem is, he really isn't helping.

"Protect me from what exactly?" I'm getting quite tired of hearing the word 'protect'

I know I'm not wanted, neither do I have any enemies I can't handle. Jason gives me a smile, he is good looking, I have to give him that but that smile won't work on me.

"Our pack has a slight misunderstanding with a close by pack, so we did what we know how to do best"

Jason said taking a seat by my bedside, I sat up properly because my back was killing me. I hugged my blanket closer to my chest, waiting for him to finish his story that I don't really care about.

"Well….we said we would plan a surprise attack, but we didn't ask the permission of the alpha. We assumed we could do it…."

"What does this have to do with me being here?" I asked suddenly feeling the urge to slap his overconfident godly face.

"Everything, Courage" He says

"We did what we did to defend our Alpha's honor, to help reduce his hurt but all we did was make things escalate" I could see guilt in his eyes as he spoke, the other pack must've done something bad to their Alpha for them to seek revenge….

Wow, this is what my life has become now…speaking about Alphas and packs…I really hate my life.

"…And our Alpha took the brunt of the other pack's anger…that is when you came in. You saved his life-"

"-Hold up, hold up" I interrupted

"Saved who exactly?"

"Sebastian"

Jason replies with an expression that says I'm supposed to know….well I didn't know!

Why is my life turning into some weird romance novel….of course he is the Alpha! Of course!

"I…"

I couldn't find words "um…continue" I might as well hear the rest of the story, know what I've gotten myself into.

"Our pack, we never owe favors…what you did…saving our Alpha…" He grabs my hand suddenly and squeezes gently

"…we owe you our lives!"

Uh….

Isn't that a bit….

"Isn't that a bit extreme?" I ask "I mean…I didn't do much, just stopped the bleeding and all that stuff-"

"Still!. You are also very special to the Alpha, he is very protective of you"

My mind goes blank for a few seconds, then it reboots. Is it because I stared at his….

Is that why he thinks I'm special to him?.

Don't get me wrong, it makes me feel kind of great but its not everyday a hot guy sees me as special so forgive me if I'm being a bit skeptical about it.

"Ok…" I say awkwardly, he's staring at me with the same look my sisters have whenever they see me.

"Thanks…ha-ha" For the love of shoe laces I'm as lame as they come.

"Come on, you must feel like stretching your legs"

not really

"Lets take a walk around the house and I'll explain everything thing to you"

I had no choice but to nod, I was beginning to feel a bit stiff but that doesn't mean I'm ready for what's behind that door.

"Let's go then" What am I saying!

Jason smiles and pulls me by the hand he's holding. When my legs touch the floor, they wobble a bit. It feels like I haven't used them in years. I hold on to Jason tighter and walk with him out of the room.

The hallways were beautiful, big. Large chandeliers lined the ceilings and the walls looked like they were wooden. Modern yet antique. This place looks like a large hotel. We passed by many doors as we walked and it almost seemed as if the hallways wouldn't end.

"We have at least four packs in the state, ours is the biggest of course. That's our advantage, we have numbers but the other pack against us, witches live amongst them, which is their own advantage"

Of course witches exist as well, why am I even surprised?

We took a right turn and what I saw in front of me surprised me quite a bit.

"Just how many floors up are we that there's and elevator in here?"

Jason chuckles like I joked about something. I thought he said it is a pack house…not a pack hotel or pack company.

"We had those put in not too long ago. We are actually on the 6th floor and I know what you're thinking but no. Its not a hotel"

All I did was nod. 6 whole freaking floors! Just how big us this pack? Because judging by the number of rooms we've passed, I'll say a lot.

"As I was saying…" Jason continued as we stepped into the elevator

"The earthquake was caused by Duncan and the witches in his pack"

"Duncan?" I asked curiously. He taps the button for the first floor and nods "Duncan is the Alpha for the pack that attacked us"

So this Duncan guy is playing dirty….

"Wait, don't you guys like name your packs and stuff?"

Jason laughed like he had heard the joke of the century. Sure laugh, I laugh at my self all the time too.

He clears his throat

"I'm sorry, shouldn't have laughed. You see why I hate reading all those werewolf novels you humans write"

The elevator dings and the doors open, the place was bustling with people , they all turned to look at us the second the doors open which was borderline creepy.

Both old and young, short and tall, creeps and non-creeps….maybe I'm over exaggerating, there were only like fifteen people in the first floor.

Most of them looked in excitement while some glared, malice dripping off them.

What have I gotten myself into now…I thought he said they owe me their lives?

"Just don't mind the stares, come, let's go outside for some air"

Jason's hand covered mine sharing its warmth. I felt safe with him which is strange because I've only known his for about two hours.

We passed the people and walked out the large wooden double doors, when I turned around they were still staring. This is horror movie material.

"Seb didn't want Duncan to find out what happened between you two so he gave you a fake name, just in case he had a person close to you, he has people and ears everywhere"

I laughed, the people around me are way too stupid and bitchy to be spies. I thought about the girls and couldn't help but feel worried.

"My friends…"

"You have nothing to worry about. In the news, they said no one was seriously hurt from the earthquake, your house was where the tremors were worse but thankfully my brother got there in time"

Yep, or else I would be buried under a pile of rocks or worse dead because of my panic attack.

"Thank you" I said to Jason, hearing that put my mind at ease. My father's house though, I really hope the place is okay. If the tremors were worse at my house it means that I was being targeted by the Duncan guy.

'I don't think you'll live to see it though….'

That creep from the mall!

"Is this Duncan guy by chance a blonde?"

Jason stopped in his tracks abruptly and turned to look at me, he looked quite surprised, I guess I hit the nail in the bag pack.

"You…how do you know that?"

"I met a man, just a few days ago. He told me I was going to die before he is done with his plans and I can't think of anyone else who fits the evil enemy image" I blabbed.

Jason nods, like I just told him ground breaking story.

"I…I have to go inform Sebastian" he says hurriedly "But I can't leave you alone" he says more to himself than me.

He pulls out his phone and dials a number, it only rings once before the person on the other line answers.

I hardly hear that person on the other line but Jason explains to whoever it was that new needed to go meet the Alpha and he needs someone to stay with the Alpha's guest blah blah.

"Her name is Esther, she is my fiancé, just tell her anything you need, she will make it available"

"Ok, thanks" I reply and watch him leave me in the middle of the yard of the hotel/pack house or whatever.

My life really isn't normal anymore.
