Dangerous Invincible

Chapter 11 

One week later...

I got dressed in a black shorts with suspenders attached to it and paired it with a cute white shirt that had a moustache and two circles for spectacles on it.

I wore a black ballet flats, one of the many shoes and clothes Alph...

I mean Xerxes had bought for me.

I grabbed my backpack and head out of the room and towards the kitchen.

I started making breakfast for us, scrambled eggs, bacon and OU.

I made for two and started plating them when Xerxes walked into the kitchen.

He sat down quietly.

"Good morning, Alpha.’’ I chirped even though inside I was blushing cause of what happened one week ago.

I still couldn't get that out of my head.

"Good morning.’’ He greeted gruffly.

"And it's Xerxes." He corrected me.

I nodded my head quickly, placing his plate in front of him.

He looked down and started eating.

I sat down quietly, opposite of him and started eating.

After we both were done eating, I grabbed our plates and dump them in the sink.

When I opened the tap to wash them, he said, "Let them be, Lucy will do it"

I really wanted to say it was okay and I could do this but I held my tongue.

"Okay."

I murmured instead and grabbed my backpack that was laying down beside the fridge.

He made his way to the front door and I followed closely behind making him stop walking.

He turned around and looked down on me.

I had to strain my neck to see him.

I regret wearing flats.

I looked like a midget when he did that.

"Where do you think you are going?" He asked, his tone cold.

I cocked my head to the side and replied, "School"

"You're not going school" He said as a matter of fact.

I blinked up at him.

"But I can't miss school.It's been only one week since I joined it."

I said somewhat confused.

"You're not going to miss it for one day but for forever.’ He said turning around.I held his wrist trying to stop him from walking away.

"But Damien will be here to pick me up."

I tried to reasoned out.

He freed his hand from my grasp as if he had been burned.

It hurt.

"He is not coming and you're not going to school anymore.I've taken your name out from the school so you don't have to worry about missing classes."

He said coldly and walked out of the house, slamming the door with unnecessary force.

I felt tears prick in my eyes.

I blinked back the tears but they just kept coming back.

I breathed in deeply trying to control my emotions.

I tried to opened the door but it was locked.

He had locked it from outside.

He had locked it with me still inside.

I felt hurt and angry.

How could he do that to me? How could he not let me go to school? How could he locked me in? How could he? I wiped my tears away and walked back inside my or our room, I don't know.

He hardly slept here because he'd either sleep in his office while working or would be god knows where.

I placed my bag on the bed and got inside the covers.

Tears kept flowing even though I tried to stop them and sleep eventually found me.

I woke up with my eyes red and puffy because of crying myself to sleep.

I freshen up and walked out of my room.

I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard shuffling and murmuring coming from kitchen.

Intruders.

I heart started beating wildly and I quietly made my way back to where I came from, my room.

I locked the door and started looking around the room that could possibly be served as a weapon or something that could protect me.

I found nothing even after five minutes of mindless searching, I groaned kicking the bedside table's edge.

It was meant to be a light kick and not a full blown ‘i know karate’ kick, I cried in pain, squatting down to clutch my poor innocent toe.

I tried to stand up and sit on the bed but instead of that I fell down, twisting my ankle and this time I screamed in pain that shoot through my toe to the ankle and to my whole body.

Great, just great.

I was on the floor holding my ankle, massaging and petting it trying to reduced the immense pain on my toe and ankle when heard footsteps making their way up the stairs and my breath caught in my throat.

I tried to stand up, to hide myself but the pain didn't let me.

I heard someone trying to open my door, I snapped my head towards the door and saw the door knob turning but it was locked, much to my happiness.

"Sweetie, are you okay?"

I heard Lucy's voice as she knocked.

My eyes knitted in confusion.

She was the intruder? "Meryl, are you there?"

I heard Lisa's voice next and I sighed when I realised they were probably making something in the kitchen.

I stood up, the pain in my toe subsided but my ankle hurt so much.

I had to limp towards the door.

I opened it and gave them both a sheepish smile.

"Yeah, I am fine"

"But we heard you scream?"

Lisa asked concern lacing her voice.

Lucy too had a worried look, she was assessing me from head to toe searching for any kind of injuries.

"I hit my toe on the table and then twisted my ankle."

I gave her a strained smile trying to show how much that hurt.

"Oh, let me see it"

Lucy said gently pushing me back into the room.

"That would hurt like bitch."

Lisa grimaced.

"Language.

Lucy gave her a pointed look making her mumbled a quick apology.

Lucy let me sit on the edge of the bed with her kneeling down to checked both my toe and ankle while Lisa hunched over looking at what her mother was doing.

Lucy sighed.

"Does it still hurt?"

She gave my ankle a light squeeze making me yelp out in pain that shoot through the ankle to my whole cellular system.

Lisa hissed and gave me a sympathetic smile.

I couldn't even smile back due to the pain.

"It's sprained."

Lucy sighed shaking her head.

Lisa rubbed my shoulders comforting.

I bit my lip trying to bear the pain but it was hurting like I had cut off my whole leg.

"Why are you still standing there? Get the first aid box"

Lucy scolded Lisa who apologised again and walked out of the room.

Lucy groaned and hollered at her, "Where are you going, Lisa?"

Lisa stopped at the door and turned around confused.

"To get the first aid box from the kitchen’ Lucy sighed.

"Check the bathroom.The Alpha surely kept another box there."

Lisa quickly nodded and entered the bathroom that was in the room.

She walked out not a minute later with a box in her hand.

"Give me the sprain spray.’ Lucy murmured looking at my ankle.

"Here.

Lucy took it and sprayed it on my ankle, a cold feeling spread over my skin where she had sprayed and the smell of the spray was strong.

She gave the spray back to Lisa and bandaged my ankle gently murmuring apologies when I hissed in pain.

I felt a little better after two hours of resting, laying on the bed staring at nothing but the blank ceiling.

At first, Lisa stayed behind to accompany me and we talked.

When she asked me why i didn't came to class today, I told her I was no longer going to attend school and I told her the reason when she asked me.

She didn't say anything instead she nodded in understanding and smiled at me sympathetically.

And I also learnt that they entered the house with the key that Xerxes gave to Lucy in the morning when I asked her how they got into the house.

Then she said she had to help her mother in the kitchen so she went downstairs to Lucy leaving me alone with my thoughts.

When I couldn't bear looking at the blank ceiling anymore, I walked down the stairs holding the banister for support.

I walked in the kitchen and sat down on the kitchen stool quietly.

It was already late in the evening and they were getting ready to prepare dinner.

"Meryl, what are you doing here?"

Lisa asked when she closed the cabinet and turned around.

"You should be resting."

Lucy gave me a disapproving look.

"I was bored so I came down."

I answered giving them a reassuring smile.

They both nodded and got back to work.

"Go and watch TV or something.’ Lucy suggested when I sat their watching them work.

I wanted to cook.

"Can I help you in making dinner?"

I asked hopefully.

"The Alpha will kill us.’’ Lisa said shaking her head.

"The Alpha will not be happy."

Lucy sugar coated the same sentence that Lisa so blatantly put it giving her a pointed look.

"But he knows I cook."

I tried to let them know that there would be no problem.

"I even make breakfast and dinner for him.

I said hoping they would let me help ther in cooking.

I was bored and wanted to do something useful instead of laying around uselessly and also I love cooking.

Lucy shook her head.

"He knows you're hurt and so he had strictly ordered me to let you rest and nothing else.

If he sees you here when he comes back he wouldn't be very happy.’ Lucy said, her tone filled with fear as she said the last words.

"But I am fine.He don't need to worry.’’ I mumbled.

We heard the front door open and close.

Lucy's eyes widen a little and she quickly wiped her hands on her plain white apron.

She walked out of the kitchen and I heard murmurs then footsteps that was coming towards our direction. NôvelDrama.Org content.

I tensed when I felt his presence even without turning around.

Lucy came and stood beside Lisa, getting back to what she was doing before she went to talk with the Alpha.

"Why are you here and not in bed?"

His gruff voice reached my ears.

I looked at Lucy and Lisa who both had their head bowed down as they went on with their work.

"Um, I was bored so I came down.”I said fidgeting with the hem of my shorts.

I felt his footsteps before he turned my stool around making me face him.

I strained my neck to look at him but his eyes were on my ankle which was bandaged.

"Let me take you to the room"

His tone held no room for discussion so I had no other choice but to nod.

He made a move to carry me but I quickly shook my head.

"I can walk."

I squeaked out nervously when I felt his body so close to mine.

If I thought he would listen to what I had said then I was wrong as he didn't say anything but held me in his arms with ease.

I quickly wind my arms around his neck at his sudden actions and to stop myself from falling.

He carried me in his arms as if I weight no less than a feather and made his way out of the kitchen, his face was blank giving out nothing as to what he was feeling or even thinking.

I blushed remembering the last time I was this close to him was one week ago.

Since that day, I couldn't help but blush whenever he get close to me.

I felt warm and fuzzy whenever he touched me just how I was feeling now.

He walked us up the stairs then he opened the bedroom with his hand that was holding my legs and walked into the from kicking the door close with the back of his foot.

He gently laid me down on the bed.

I was staring at him as he did all that.

"I'll let Lucy bring your dinner for you in here"’ He murmured standing up to his full height.

I sat up ignoring his narrowed eyed which were on me.

"We won't eat together?" I asked sadly.

I always eat my lunch and dinner with my family when I was at my old pack house.

We never let anyone eat dinner or lunch alone in our family.

No matter how busy we were, we come and eat together.

That was one of my dad's rule.

Always eat together with family.

I miss my dad, mum and everyone I used to know from my pack.

"I would have my dinner in my office"

He answered with that same stoic expression.

"But I can't eat alone.’ I mumbled looking down at black silk sheets.

I heard him sigh and I looked up at him hopefully.

"Too bad cause I can."

He said turning around and walking out of the room.

Just when I thought, he care for me he said that.
