Claimed by My Bully Alpha (by Anna Kendra) novel Chapter 84

Chapter 84

Aurora’s P.O.V

“You don’t have to show me around.” I told Caleb, as we walked side by side down the main hallway. “I mean…we could just go back to my room and you can catch a break?”

As per his parent’s ‘suggestion‘, Caleb was taking me around on a tour of the pack house, but if I was being honest, I just wanted to lie down and rest. My mind was full of the new information that I had received during the lunch conversation with Caleb’s parents and I needed time to digest all of that.

It wasn’t easy to just wake up one day and be told that not only were the creatures of the dark a reality, but that I was now ‘bound to one by a Goddess herself.

It should’ve been like the fairytale that I had always wanted…but it wasn’t. Because I was afraid that once I opened my eyes, all this would have been a dream and my life would just go back to being a never–ending nightmare.

“Not yet, I have a place to show you,” Caleb spoke softly, guiding me towards the back of the house and into the elevator that led to the ground floor. “T think you’ll like it.”

I didn’t say anything; just let him take the lead.

Even if it was all a dream, standing next to Caleb felt comforting. I didn’t want to wake up from this dream, ever. The closeness of our bodies inside the tiny elevator made tingles shoot up my arm. But still, I moved away from him out of habit. The habit that had formed over the last four years in high school where I had avoided confrontation of any kind with every single person just so I didn’t get bullied. It hadn’t helped me in the end, but defence mechanism seemed ingrained into every cell in my body.

We stepped out of the elevator and Caleb began leading me outside the building and into the backyard gardens. The trimmed bushes and exotic flowers here made it obvious that Caleb came from a family with loads of money. The gardens bordered the woods outside and I knew for a fact that on the other side of the woods was the ocean. The sun rays hit the gardens just right to allow the growth of such exotic flowers that I couldn’t even name, but it was an amazing sight for sore eyes.

But when Caleb didn’t stop at the gardens and began leading me to the woods, I looked up at him with a frown. “This looks like the perfect scenario for murder.”

Instead of getting offended, Caleb laughed out loud, shaking his head as he looked at me with mischief in his eyes. “I promise…it’ll all be over very soon.”

I guess he did have a sense of humor…although I wasn’t entirely sure he was joking or not. But still, I followed him to wherever he was taking me, walking a step behind him so I could run if I had to…not that I would get very far on human feet.

The woods were filled with pine and oak trees that reached for the sky. But even though they were tall trees that blocked out most of the sun–rays, the woods were still surprisingly bright. However, after a few minutes of walking in silence behind Caleb, I found out just where he wanted to take me…and the place left me breathless.

A small pond stood in the middle of the woods, surrounded by tall trees on all sides, and at the edge of the pond was a gazebo, made purely out of white marble. It was a small area, with a sitting space that could hardly hold three to four people. Even the gazebo wasn’t all that large in size, but what had me mesmerized was the view of the pond behind the gazebo…and the beautiful lotus blossoms.

Pink and white, the flowers shot out of the water to open its petals to the world and they were surrounded by numerous large petals that looked could serve as umbrellas in the rain. The flowers didn’t have much of a fragrance but the pine and oak had plenty that it filled the air with its sweet, lingering fragrance as the wind blew through the leaves.
