The Werewolf Experiment: Falling For Alpha Grey

Noah’s pov,

Noah was wide awake staring at the ceiling. “I am not that desperate,” he said to Lola. Well, fuck he was that desperate. All he wanted to do was run to her room, take her in his arms and kiss her. The image of her walking around in his shirt burned in his mind. He turned and twisted for hours before exhaustion finally caught up with him.

The next morning, he took a shower and draped a towel over his hips when he was done. He walked out of the bathroom and bumped into Lola. He had to wrap his arms around her to make sure she wouldn’t fall. She was pressed against his bare chest which was still burning hot from the shower. She quickly pushed him away with red cheeks and said, “Watch where you are going.”

He noticed she was still wearing his shirt, “Sorry Lola. I see you became rather attached to my shirt.”

She looked down and her face became even more red, “It was just comfortable to sleep in, okay?”

She pulled the shirt over her head and threw it at him. She was now standing in front of him in a dark blue hipster and bralette. He swallowed and tried to think straight, “You can keep it if you ..” but before he could finish his sentence all his blood went below and his towel was levitating.

Lola stared at his towel with big eyes and then started laughing. Noah felt embarrassed but also started laughing from awkwardness which made her laugh even harder. She was still chuckling when she went into the bathroom and shut the door. Noah rubbed his face and wondered why he behaved like such an idiot when she was around.

He had some breakfast and then went out because he needed to visit some other packs today for business. He came back later in the afternoon when it was time for his pack to do a wolf run together. They had certain days when the whole pack transformed, and they ran together. It was good for the unity of the pack. Noah looked forward to it today because he really needed Achak to let off some steam. It had been hard dealing with his wolf since Lola was around.

His heart skipped a beat the moment he saw Lola was there to watch the wolf run. She truly was beautiful with her long black hair blowing in the wind and her caramel eyes glittering from the sunlight. He had a hard time looking away from her, but it was time to behave like an Alpha now in front of his pack. They all waited till he transformed so they could follow him. He breathed in the fresh air and let Achak take over before storming into the forest. Dan followed him barking and soon he heard barking and howling from all directions.

Achak was a glimpse of grey fur sprinting through the forest. Running through fields covered with flowers going faster and faster until they reached the mountains. He climbed and ran until his lungs could take no more and then howled to let them know it was time to turn back. All the wolves turned around and enthusiastically started to run again. Everything was great until right at the end he heard some commotion in the form of growling and angry barks. They came back at the starting point, and everyone started to change back to human form. Noah scanned all his pack members to see if anyone was hurt when Dan marched out of the forest with one of the lower-ranked pack members over his shoulder. The omega his name was Peter and Noah knew him as shy, so he wondered what he had done to piss off Dan.

Dan threw Peter in front of Noah and growled, “This low life dared to run past me.”

Peter was trembling, “I am sorry I did not mean to I just got too enthusiastic.”

Dan spat at his face, “You need to be reminded of your place.”

Tristan spoke up, “Come on Dan, he said it was an accident I am sure he will not let it happen again.”

Dan his eyes became dark with anger, and he turned to Tristan, “How dare you talk to me like that?”

Noah felt annoyed why did Dan always have to behave like an aggressive toddler? Once again, this forced Noah to behave in a way that disgusted him. He let his voice become low and full of authority, “Tristan it is not your place to speak up against a Beta. As for you Peter you know the punishment for forgetting the pack order during our runs.”

Tristan bowed his head and Peter started trembling even more because he knew what that meant. Dan had a wicked smile on his face when he grabbed Peter his arm and snapped his wrist.

“That will remind you to stay behind next time,” he whispered.

Peter cried out from pain when Dan broke his bone and Noah heard Lola scream. She tried to run to Peter so Noah commanded Fenna and Deborah to take her home. When he looked into her eyes, he saw the same disgust and anger reflected that he felt inside him. He sighed and ordered some other wolves to bring Peter to the healers. Dan wanted to talk to him after that, but Noah went for another walk until he reached the lake. He needed some time to be alone and think. He did not know how much longer he could keep playing this cruel role. Especially now he found his mate and she just thought he was an asshole. To be fair he could not blame her.

He returned hours later and secretly visited Peter at the healers. Peter was sitting on one of the beds with his wrist in a cast. He would not be able to transform for a while which was torture for a werewolf. “You okay Peter?” he asked.

Peter did not dare look at him and whimpered, “Yes Alpha Grey.”

He was just sitting there waiting in fear of whether there would be more punishment. Noah hated that everyone was just scared of him, but it was necessary. The only thing he could do was ease Peter his pain, so he told the healers to give him some pain-relieving herbs before he went home.

As soon as he walked through the door of his house Lola came at him like an angry firecracker. She started hitting him in his stomach which of course did not hurt him physically. Her eyes were dark with anger, and she shouted, “What the fuck is wrong with you? How could you do that to him? You just stood there and let that maniac break his arms like it was nothing. And for what? Because he ran past him? Seriously, I have never heard something more fucked up.”

Her nostrils went wide with every breath like she was breathing fire before she continued, “I don’t get you are you bipolar or schizophrenic? How can you go from some overgrown puppy stuffing himself with cookies to this cruel monster in just a day?”

Noah sighed and softly pushed her to the side, “I can’t do this right now Lola.”

He walked past her to his bedroom and slammed the door.
