Chapter 46: Alpha Eric

I froze instantly staring at Dr. Charles frighteningly.

Dr. Charles stares back at me frighteningly as well. I could also see the fear within his eyes.

Immediately, I swallow my spit hard and inquire Dr. Charles why alpha Eric needed to see me. I didn't understand why he came all the way here just to see me.

I haven't done any sort of business nor held a form of conversation with him for him to visit me now.

"Why is he here to see me?" I asked the doctor nervously.

"I'm not sure," he answers me. "As I invited him, he was talking about giving his not so young body anymore a check-up, I agree to whenever time he is ready to. Soon the conversation goes onto him informing me that he heard I had someone new in town staying with me until he goes on asking about you and now wanting to see you."

"What did he ask about me?" I inquire Dr. Charles nervously.

I mean why did he need to know anything about me except that I was now staying within his land, my name, and finally that I work for his son. He didn't need to know anything else about me. My life was private to him.

"Don't worry," Dr. Charles said as he gently touches me onto my right shoulder. "I've told him that you're just a friend daughter of mine staying with me for some time until you're ready to go home."

I nodded, still nervous.

"So, what if he asks me any question when I go downstairs about where I came from what should I tell him?" I inquire Dr. Charles. "I know nowhere else other than the forest I came from and this land."

"Tell him you're from Starkville," Dr. Charles said.

"What if he goes to the alpha of Starkville and decided to inquire about me?" I again inquire Dr. Charles nervously.

"No need to worry about that, Starkville as a new leader, Alpha Ares and I doubt that he knows everyone within his new land since the first alpha had destroyed his pack, causing most of his people to flee for safety and since the arrival of Alpha Ares, some of the people who run away a long time ago are returning to their land," Dr. Charles informs me.

"Okay," I answered the doctor.

I was now starting to feel a bit better by the news he had told me.

I exit my room, slowly pulling the door behind me, soon I was heading downstairs. Dr. Charles was behind me as I did.

"He's in the living room," Dr. Charles pointed out to me.

I nodded.

Dr. Charles didn't leave me he accompanied me into the living room.

My heart started to heavily beat the moment I enter the room and saw the tall light brown hair man sitting well comfortably.

Alpha Eric didn't look anything like his son, except his height. I was glad, for seeing him and going back to work I don't know how I would carry out my job knowing that Mr. Bates is a resemblance of this bastard dad.

"Nala," he said as he got up from his chair and came over to me.

He calls my name so friendly as if we've known each other for years and are good friends. I hated it.

"Mr. Eric," I said softly, trying very hard to be respectful to him.

It was so difficult doing so. I hated him and wanted him to get out of my sight now and my life. He disgusted me.

"I was inquiring Dr. Charles about you, and I thought about saying hello to you before going off," Mr. Eric said.

I wish you didn't, I said angrily within my mind before answering him.

"It's nice of you sir," I bogusly told him as I gave him a fake smile.

"So nice to meet you and I'll be happy to see you around," Mr. Eric said as he says his goodbye and exit the house.

I exhale heavily and held my chest happy that he had left. I couldn't stand being around him knowing he was the one who allowed my father to be murdered. I hated him with every bone within my body.

"Be careful of him," Dr. Charles told me as Alpha Eric leaves.

I nodded. "He's very dangerous and his good action towards you are sometimes plans he as to devour you."

I again nodded.

Dr. Charless begins upstairs.

I stop him right away.

"Are you going to tell mom about this?" I inquire him.

"I have to Nala," he answers me.

"No," I stop him. "I won't be staying here long anymore," I told him. "The alpha will be letting me go soon."

"He's doing so?" Dr. Charles said as he came back downstairs surprisingly.

I nodded.

"When?" the doctor again inquires me.

"I have to do something important for him first and then I'm through," I answer.

I couldn't give Dr. Charles an explanation of what I had decided to do for the alpha, for what I had decided to do was to take his offer in sleeping with him. It was hard at first to make that decision but seeing his father I just want to get out of this land now. He had made my father die I was not going to let the same thing happen to my mother even if I must sell my body to the alpha.

"Oh," Dr. Charles's said sadly as he turns around and headed back upstairs.

I watched him as he did seeing how down he was now hearing my news. I know he loves mom badly, but he must understand that staying here was not good for us. If he truly loves my mom, he must learn to let her go.

I walk over to the stairs and sat down.

"I must sleep with him tomorrow," I said sadly for it was now my only ticket to leave Burnesfield.
