{Eat} chapter 8

I have been in this room for two weeks. I have not left once. I spend most of my days just reading or sitting on the bed trying to think of a way to escape. Each of my plans fail.


Two guards are always porched out side of the door and I could see from the window that Alpha Jonah had doubled his security since the last time I escaped. I also hadn't seen him which I praised. Apparently he is still wrapped on what happened according to Yuri. She visits me once or twice a day asking me if I ate and I always replied in monotone answers. Short and simple.


My stomach growls from the bed I'm laying on. I haven't eaten either since I got here. I lie to Yuri saying that a maid has brought me food, but I suspect she sees through my lies. My hunger is so bad that I'm starting to crave blood...even werewolf which is the most horrible blood to vampires. Apparently to them it tastes sour and repulsive...but I'm a hybrid and right now I feel like any blood will suffice.


I hear three knocks on the door followed by the person waiting a minute before entering.


"The Alpha has requested you to come to the kitchen Luna," a maid said.


My body tensed from the bed. I knew in the back of my mind I would have to see him sooner or later, but that still didn't mean I wanted to.


"Tell him I don't wish to see him."


Her smile dropped as she shuffled her feet from left to right. "He told me if you refused that he would come up here and tell you himself...and you don't want that. His exact words Luna," she said bowing her head looking scared shitless.


I sighed from the bed. I don't feel like fighting with him today. Lets get this over with. I got up from the bed and walked over to the door where she was standing. "Let's go."


She turned on her heels and started taking me to the kitchen.


I really hate this.


I don't want to see him.


I really hate this.


That's all I kept saying in my head. Just because I complied to going doesn't mean I will be cowardly towards him like I have been. If he tries something I will push back.


I braced myself as we entered the kitchen seeing Alpha Jonah sitting on the a bar stool near the island. In front of him was a white bowl filled with little sugary rings that were different colors, and a glass of orange juice.


The maid bowed her head and left the room. Now it was just the two of us. He gestured to the seat beside him and I walked over to him slowly sitting down. His face was hardened and his eyes looked utterly bloodshot with small bags underneath them.


"I've been informed that you have not been eating...why is that?"


"I haven't been hungry," I replied looking at the counter top.


"For two weeks Riley! You haven't been hungry for two weeks," he said breathing heavily.


"No, I haven't," I lied gritting my teeth together. He brought me out here to talk about not eating his damn food!


"Well I won't allow that, eat the cereal and I want the whole bowl finished." He ordered pushing the bowl toward me and handed me the spoon. I took it and looked down at the sugary goodness. I could feel my stomach growling for the food and I almost dipped the spoon in. Almost.


"I'm not eating this," I said looking up at him as his breathing quickened.


"Don't be difficult, eat the cereal."


"I already told you I'm no-."


"I think you have misunderstood who is control here. When your Alpha tells you to do something you do it. Eat the food. Now," he ordered his tone evidently serious and authority laced throughout.


I sat there staring at him. I am sick of him thinking he owns me. I told him once before he is not my Alpha. He is seriously going to make me do it again?


"Get it through your thick skull. You. Are. Not. My. Alpha. And I am not, will not, be controlled my anyone." I said firmly, chucking the spoon down to the floor so forcefully that it broke in half. Being a hybrid meant that I am superior to him. I am stronger. Faster. Greater than him. I don't follow his orders.


He got up from his chair slowly making me notice really how much taller he was than me and towered over me. His jaw was clenched more tightly than I have ever seen before and his eyes swirled with green and black. I leaned back in my chair cautiously as I didn't know what was to happen next.


He let out a long shaky sigh before going over to draw taking out another spoon. "I guess we are doing this the hard way," he mumbled.


He put the spoon in the bowl of cereal and moved it to my mouth. "Open."


I shook my head no so he tried to open my mouth by pushing the spoon towards it. I kept moving my head out of the spoon way. He then grabbed me by the throat, not forcefully, but enough to get me to stop moving my head and tried getting the spoon in, but I wacked it with my hand. He then got up again and got a spoon from the draw, but this time had peanut butter on it.


"You should not have done that," he said tackling me to the ground. I screamed from the impact and landed hard on the wooden floor. I shook my head as he griped my hands going on top of me.


He had dominance.


I moved out of the way as he tried once again to pry the spoon into my mouth. I got one of my hands out of his grip and shoved him off me as we rolled over, with me on top of him now.


I had dominance.


I pinned the arm with the spoon first and the other down. I gave him a triumph smirk as I pinned him down. I win.


My eyes incautiously started to wander down towards his neck. I could see his veins pulsing rapidly, and I could feel his chest heaving up and down heavily. Everything was in slow motion... like I was in a trance. The only thing I could see was his neck. The only thing I could feel was his breath. I just wanted a little taste. I just wanted him.


I was suddenly flipped over again with the spoon shoved into my mouth and taken out quickly, leaving the savory peanut butter in my mouth. I met his green eyes as they filled with satisfaction. He then got off me and started walking away. I swallowed the peanut butter getting off the floor.


A man suddenly walked into the room bowing his head slightly.


"Alpha your meeting will be starting soon," he said in a deep voice. The man had blonde hair and his eyes were a chocolate brown color and his skin was light. He was wearing a grey, button up t-shirt and black jeans.


Alpha Jonah nodded his head as he dismissed him. "Riley I want to see that you have eaten the cereal and drank the orange juice when I return," he ordered.


As we were walking past each other he grabbed my arm and lead in close to my ear.


"All of it,"


I gasped a little at our touch feeling sparks as I could feel my...wolf...jump for joy. He let go of my arm walking out the door. My wolf pawed in protest wanting to feel our mates touch. I smiled bringing my hand to my mouth in delight. I haven't felt my wolf in...years. She's hid away in the shadows for reasons I don't blame her for doing, but I'm relived she has serviced again. She jumps all over, happy to be here once again too. I must have not noticed her presence at first because of all the adrenaline from fighting with him, but once I calmed down I could feel her there.


I go over to the counter taking a seat where the bowl of cereal is. I pick up the spoon and dip it into the now soggy rings. What happened today could have escalated way too quickly and if that happens again I don't know if well have the same outcome. Sighing I put the spoon in my mouth.


Alpha Jonah one, Riley zero
