Chapter 18: The Alpha’s Goddess

~CALLIE'S P.O.V~

I woke up to a door closing, my eyes immediately flew open, and I started to scan the room. I am definitely in the hospital. I looked towards the door to see those familiar bright green eyes staring at me with a smile plastered across her face.

I let out a breath I didn't realize I had held in.

"J." my voice came out sounding hoarse like I had been screaming, while my eyes immediately softened at the sight of my best friend.

"I am so glad to see you're awake. I've been so worried." Jade says back with joy in her eyes.

I smiled; I could hear in her voice that she was glad I was alive. That made my heart overfill with joy.

I had always felt like I was all alone after I lost my family. I felt like nobody understood me. I blocked so many people out of my heart because I knew I couldn't afford to feel that pain again. I cut everyone out and made myself into more of a shadow rather than a person. Yet she stood by me, she made me feel strong in ways I never knew I could, and she was always there, literally.

At that very moment, as I saw her standing there beaming with happiness at the sight of seeing me alive told me I didn't just have a best friend, I had a sister.

"How are you feeling? Do you see one or two of me? Are you able to tell me what month it is?"

"Jade! Stop with all the questions... sheesh, I know you want to eventually be a doctor, but give a girl a break, I just woke up." I said back jokingly.

Her face falls and she looks at me like I have grown four legs.

"What's wrong...?" I asked her.

"Callie... You have been asleep for almost 2 weeks...." She replied to my question.

My eyes bulge with confusion... 2 weeks? It feels like I just fell asleep an hour ago. She saw the confusion rising on my face and immediately spoke again, getting my attention.

"It is okay. It is normal for some werewolves to take more time to heal."

"But Jade, this doesn't make sense. If I am the Goddess or whatever, why did I take longer? Shouldn't I have healed faster?" I asked, not thinking before speaking.

"Oh... You know..." Jade's voice cracks as a tear rolls down her face.

"What's wrong...." I said, not understanding what it was I said to upset her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she asks.

I didn't reply because I did. I told her about my dream. Does she not remember or was I confused?

Finally, after a moment of awkward silence, she realized I wasn't going to reply.

"WHY!" She screamed with tears streaming down her face and nothing but betrayal in her eyes. The sight broke my heart. I honestly don't know why I didn't tell her all the details of the dream. It's not like I didn't trust her. I trusted her with my life, but this confused me and, to be fair, it all happened so quickly, when did I even have time to tell her?

As she screamed 'Why', the door flew open, which caused us both to jump in fright and look over. Immediately, Jade looked at the ground with shame. What caught me off guard the most was when the door flew open and walked the most gorgeous man I had ever seen before. He had this brown hair that was long enough to cover his eyes. You could tell by the way it parted that he ran his fingers through it often. His skin was this perfect shade of tan, the texture of his face would make any girl lust for him. But what caught my attention the most was his beautiful, big, captivating electric blue eyes. For a moment, I thought I saw fear being held in them, but the emotion was gone so fast that I wasn't sure if I was just seeing things. I don't know why this handsome man would be afraid of anything in this room. His aura oozed power, indicating he was definitely of higher rank. Right behind him stood Jade's mom, Jasmine.

"Please, Mrs. Avery, remove Jade until she can calm down. Once she is calm, she can come back. Maybe then Callie will be ready to talk." His voice sent goosebumps across my entire body. It was so deep and husky yet so smooth and powerful. His voice alone made me feel things I had never felt before. My stomach is twirling with butterflies.

Jasmine places her hand on Jade's shoulder and whispers to her to wait in the waiting room. That's when Jasmine's eyes finally looked over to me and I could see the relief in her eyes. She mouths 'I am so sorry baby' to me as she closes the door, leaving me and Mr.McHotStuff alone. OH MY GOD...DID I JUST SAY MCHOTSTUFF!

'Why yes, yes you did, let him mate us, I want to feel his body on us.' Emery beams with excitement.

'Ew Emery, that was a bit much, we don't even know the dude.'

'I know that I want him in more ways than one.' She replies.

'Okay, that's a bit intense. But on a side note, I am so glad to hear your voice. I have missed you so much, I am so glad you are still here!' I screamed with happiness.

'Always.' I heard her say as she retreated to the back of my mind.

Suddenly, I feel the mattress sink in as he sits on the bed. I looked up and met his gaze. That's when I could hear the machines in the background beeping loudly. Great... Now he knows my heart rate jumped higher than what is the normal rate. He smiled and it continuously got louder. God what is this man doing to me... I think as I look from his face down to his muscles bulging out from his tight black shirt. His face looks so familiar to me...

"You like what you see?" He asks so smoothly.

I gulped and decided to be brave and speak.

"I am sorry, who are you?" I asked, avoiding his question.

"My name is Gunner." He replied.

God, his voice alone makes me wet to the core! I think about his name for a moment and realization dawns on me as I connect his face to his name.

"Gunner....as in Alpha James's son Gunner?" I asked, hoping to not look too freaked out.

"My name rolling off your tongue does unimaginable things to me... but it seems like you forgot to answer my question." He points out what I purposely decided to ignore.

He smiled after finishing his sentence, making butterflies erupt in my stomach.

What the hell is going on with me!? Guys don't show me attention. Guys don't flirt with me.

I started thinking more about how I was always so quiet. I never flirted or even had any interest in anyone. But why not? I need to live a little. Show everyone that I am not going to be that weak, sad girl anymore. I will never forget my parents or the feelings their deaths brought me, but I sure can live and start to be me and not let that event control my life as it has done for a few years now. I needed to be happy again. I finally decided on the right words to say, and I just went for it.

"Well, I am not going to lie to you. I was surprised to see how, with only 2 years away, you have changed so much."

"Is that a bad thing?"

His question throws me off guard, he knows damn well it isn't a bad thing.

"Oh no, trust me when I say those two years have done you so good, you truly are an eye-grabber. But I have thought that since we were children." I said, as my cheeks turned a shade of pink. I didn't need him to know I had a crush on him when we were young, he didn't even know me!

But let's be honest, what girl doesn't have a thing for the Alpha's son?

"Oh, really now? So, you think I am an eye grabber, huh?" He asks as he leans closer to me.

My heart rate spikes again, and I start to become nervous, a smile crosses his face as his hand reaches in, and I jump at the contact as his finger lightly graces my cheek, sending shocks all over my body. He moved my hair behind my ear and started to lean in. His lips were hovering over mine, I could feel the heat on my face from his breathing. God, his lips look so good, I want to feel them on mine.

UGH, Callie!! What has gotten into you? Stop this!

'Kiss him!' Emery screams in my mind, making me unsure what to do. Do I push him away or let him kiss me? Emery wants him to rip our clothes off and have us right here on this bed. But I am not ready for that.

As his lips hover right over mine, I place my hand around his neck, so he knows I want this kiss to happen. Just as he inches forward, the door to the hospital room opens abruptly, which causes him to quickly jump back.

Woah... What witchcraft kind of shit was that? That pull was unbelievable!

"Callie, I am glad to see you're awake. I am Dr. Snow, but you can call me Emily." She beams at me.

I looked over to Gunner as if asking for permission to trust her. He notices I am freaking out and simply smiles and nods his head in approval, which helps calm my nerves. He gave me the reassurance I didn't even realize I needed. I looked back at the doctor and finally spoke.

"Hello Emily, thank you so much for helping my body heal. It does mean a lot." I said, with a smile on my face.

I could see that she was hoping for my approval. I am not sure why, but it felt comforting to be able to give others comfort.

"How are you feeling this morning?" She asked with kindness laced in her voice.

"I am so good. I feel brand new." I answered her truthfully.

"Of course, you do. Your body is in tip-top shape. Every single wound you have ever had since birth. Gone." She replies with a confused look on her face. Why is she confused? I am a wolf, we heal ourselves. She is a pack doctor, she knows that.

"Um cool... So not to sound impatient or anything, but when can I go home?" I asked her.

I could use a change of clothes. This hospital gown was very sore in the eye.

"In due time, I want to observe you for 24 hours and then once that is done, I will clear you to discharge and go home." The doctor finally spoke, giving me my answer. Thank God!

She bows her head to Gunner and leaves the room. Leaving just me and him alone again. I regained my composure, swung my legs over the edge of the bed, and stood up. I can't allow him to get that close again. We almost kissed and I can't let that happen.

•••••••••••••••••••

~GUNNER'S P.O.V~

She looks over at me when the doctor leaves the room, and my breath catches in my throat. God, her ocean-blue eyes are so entrancing that it just pulls me in, I could get lost in them for hours. Her voice pipes up and pulls me out of my thoughts.

"Well Gunner, umm I mean Alpha Gunner, thank you for coming by. It is very thoughtful of you, but I would like to shower if that is alright?"

Her voice is even more angelic than in my dreams.

"Yeah, of course. I will go home and shower myself and I will come back later and check on you, if that is, okay?" I asked nervously, praying to the Goddess that she'd agree. My heart is pounding in my chest. I'd be surprised if she couldn't hear it.

"Yeah, that sounds lovely. Thank you, Alpha Gunner." She says back.

"Please, just Gunner." That is all I said as I was closing the hospital door.

My back is now against the closed door, as I sit and ponder what just happened and what I just said. Did I seriously say 'Please, just Gunner?' Not 'Hey I think you're gorgeous, will you please do me the honor and allow me to take you on a date when you are released?' Nope, of course, I couldn't say that. Of course, I said ‘Please, just Gunner’! I am so fucking lame!

'Yeah, real smooth.' Timber says while laughing sarcastically in my head.

I blocked our link while shaking my head. I walked back to the pack house, and immediately headed up the stairs to my room. When I entered the room, I saw a she-wolf spread eagle with her legs open as wide as she could, exposing EVERYTHING to me. Do these girls not have any self-respect? I take a deep breath and sigh. I decided to try and be nice, but, frankly, I am losing my patience with these sluts.

"Get out." I chose to say instead of even engaging in a conversation about why she is finger fucking herself on my bed.

"But Daddy, I want you to put your huge cock in my pussy and fill up my tight hole." She spat out with lust written all over her face.

I could smell her pheromones; I could hear the dripping sounds of her wet core as the juices fell from her pussy lips to my sheets.

'SNAP OUT OF IT YOU HORNY ASSHOLE!' Timber screams in my head. He is not pleased with the sight of this woman being where another should be. I then begin to picture Callie on my bed instead of whoever it was now, and my cock becomes rock-hard in my pants.

"You like this, don't you, you naughty Alpha." The she-wolf says as she walks over to me seductively and grabs my dick from the outside of my pants.

This action took me by surprise, I was so caught up fantasizing about it being Callie spread out across my bed. That I forgot I was not alone in my thoughts.

Her touch infuriated both me and my wolf.

"Did you not hear me? GET OUT!" I yelled using my Alpha tone.

She jumps back terrified and grabs her dress, quickly slipping it back on, apologizing, and running out of my room.

This is going to have to come to a stop. For the last 2 weeks, she-wolves have been sneaking into my room and throwing themselves at me left and right. I am about to become the Alpha and, as an Alpha, they must respect the fact that no one can warm my bed anymore. That will only be now and forever for my Luna.

Don't get me wrong, I am still a man with needs, an unmated man who has not been laid in almost 3 years. But I refuse to allow myself to scoop so low. I have only 1 interest and these girls will not stop me from achieving what I want.

'Maria, can you please strip my bed and launder the sheets? I would greatly appreciate it.' I was mind-linked to one of the omegas who we pay to do housework.

'Yes Alpha.' she linked back.

She probably thinks of me as a man whore with me asking her to launder my sheets so much. Especially since I just returned home and I've already asked her 6 times and, sadly, each time it smells of a different girl. I haven't touched one of those she-wolves though. I may be a horny asshole, but I refuse to allow myself or my room to smell another she-wolf. I head to the shower, throwing my clothes down the soot to be laundered as well.

I step into the shower, as the hot water trails down my back. All I can think about is Callie.

I begin to picture her touching herself and begging me to please her. I began to softly stroke my rock-hard member, just thinking about her made my dick pulsate. I could feel the cum building up as I thought about her moaning my name.

'YES, YES GUNNER JUST LIKE THAT, RIGHT THERE!' she screamed.

'I'M CUMMING BABY!' She screams again just as I release my hot milky cum down the shower drain. Ending my fantasy. God, how I wished that were real and I could feel what it feels like to be inside of her. I bet it is tight.

I take a deep breath now that I can relax. What is she doing to me? She is my every thought!
