Maybe it was my imagination. Perhaps I was thinking too much, and I had a whole fairy tale in my mind...
Grey sounded so desperate. I've only known him for a few days and never saw that side of him. The way his words came out and stopped, came out and stopped, it was like a lullaby that I could sleep while listening to.
I loved the way his eyes moved to mine, shifted to the dirt on the floor and the moon that was growing to a perfect circle in a few days' time.
And before I could process what was going on. His face was right in front of me, not the 'in front' I would usually say, but too close, closer than close. I could only see darkness, and I could only feel his stubble touching my soft cheeks.
My eyes grew wide, and I stopped breathing because everything felt unreal. I felt something really unfamiliar pressed against my lips, and I didn't know what was happening.
Suddenly there went a tiny electric shock-like spark from my lips to my heart, to my arms, to my legs, and to places I never thought it would reach.
Then there came a strange urge to have the feeling forever, to have that thing which was pressed on my lips forever on mine.
So it was how a kiss feels like.
But before I knew it, it was over. And before I knew it, I was staring at his soul while silently asking for more, shamelessly waiting for more.
"Tell me it's not only me who's having this connection," he said with a small distance between us.
I didn't reply. No, I couldn't answer either. I just stared at him with an open mouth, with a moveless body.
I wanted to go back in time and replay what happened a few minutes ago. So maybe I would have enough time to decide whether I liked this feeling or not... wait, I indeed LOVED the feeling. That was the exact reason why I wanted it to happen all over again.
My eyes moved to the ground where one of my hands was resting, where I was shedding a bucket of tears a few minutes ago. Now, all the shed tears were nowhere to be found. The misery and the pain that collected in my heart were long gone by the slight touch of lips.
I slowly withdrew my hand that was resting on the ground. With the tip of my index finger, I started writing on the ground slowly. I felt alpha Grey move next to me so he could see what I was writing.
When I stole a slight glance at him, I saw impatience not only in his eyes but in his whole body. I had never seen him like that before. He was either utterly mad or calm but never impatient.
'I like-' I wrote on the floor.
But before I could write more, a shadow blocked what I wrote. I silently gasped as I looked at the entrance of the storage room where the newcomer stood.
My panicked body made a quick movement, and in the next second, I was standing, not sitting. I saw who it was. If it were another time, I would've stayed calm because it was no one else but my best friend, Fah.
But at that time, I couldn't stay calm because there was a sudden gush of emotions in my heart. I felt like a betrayer, a freaking betrayer who hid a massive part of my life from my best friend.
My lips constantly moved as if trying to say something. They even forgot I didn't have a voice.
"I was looking all over for you, " her dejected voice came.
My head drooped at her voice. Was she disappointed? Will she scold me? Did I do something wrong?
"We have to go inside, Eve," she said. "The curfew will start for us, and the party is almost over," she told the last words while her eyes sternly trained on alpha Grey.
Fah was an omega like me. But there was one thing different between us. I knew I was way too submissive. Even if another beta went past me, I would have my head hanging low. But it was another whole story when it came to her, and she would never hang her head low. Instead, she will look right in their eyes. That was also another reason why most of the pack members disliked her more.
"And you should get out of here too," she said to him.
I looked at her with wide eyes. Alpha Grey was our visitor. And i-it was rude...
"Well, I don't think you can tell that to me," Grey replied.
I just watched them with an open mouth.
"Why? You are going to use the 'I am an alpha, respect me' line?" Fah scoffed. I quickly went to her and grabbed at her sleeves, trying to stop her.
"You have a big mouth even when you are living in this pack," he replied.
Fah looked at me with stern eyes. Oh no... Now she knew that I'd told many details to Grey.
"I see... so you guys-" she stopped midways. "You don't even know what shit you are doing, Mr So Called Big Visitor. I see that you know everything that happens in this pack, so I think it's much healthier for both of you not to meet each other again. You are putting Eve in such danger." he ranted on without letting Grey say another word.
It was silent for a few seconds.
"We are leaving now," she said as she pulled me out of the storage room. I took one last glance at alpha Grey who looked lost in the situation.
But I didn't fail to notice how he looked beautiful under the moonlight.

We reached the basement, we changed our clothes, Fah changed the bandages on my hands, and we went to bed.
No words were exchanged.
I was expecting her to bombard me with questions, but instead, she was silent.
I stayed sprawled on my bed for a few seconds. She was giving me silent torture. And I had a lot of explanations to do to her.
I got out of my bed and got onto hers. I saw her eyes flutter close just as I started shaking her. I shook her a few times when she didn't move, and I closed both her mouth and nose; she opened her eyes in a second without having a way to breathe.
"What do you want?!" she whispered and yelled.
I curled all my fingers instead of the index finger and showed him 'one', telling her to wait.
Then I grabbed my notepad and a pen because there was a lot to explain.
