Chapter 4

Ariel

I have been laying in this bed the whole night hoping that when morning comes I will be better, but no. I can barely move and the creatures in me are still asleep.

Where is my mate? I wonder looking around the empty room.

His scent is so faint meaning he just dropped me and left. Maybe he's busy.

The room I was brought in is not bad, when we got here, I was asleep so I didn't get the chance to observe the environment.

It is bigger unlike mine at my pack, the walls are white and bare, so plain if you ask me.

Two doors are on my right which am assuming lead to the bathroom and the closet.

There are two huge windows on my other side. The clear curtains makes the sun illuminate the room unhindered. The bed is positioned in the middle of the room and nothing else.

So lonely.

A soft knock on the door alerts me and I whisper a come, thanking the goddess my voice is finally back.

A middle-aged woman walks in with a tray holding breakfast in her hand.

She's quite tall, 5'7 I presume. She has short blonde hair, and dull grey eyes. She looks tired.

Assessing the food , nothing piques my interest. Right now I need blood the most to wake up Lucile my vamp, and maybe Celine will follow suit.

My mate should know about this.

"Hey luna, am here to attend to you," the woman says timidly bowing and no doubt she's an omega.

My pack didn't have such status and we treated each other as a family, like it should be. But here, am yet to learn their ways. I pray the rumours about mate aren't true.

"Call me Ariel please, no need for formalities" I argue my voice coming out horse, it's better than being mute actually.

"Alpha will kill me if I do that" she mutters walking towards me.

I start feeling self-conscious because I haven't taken shower for four days, and my mouth is surely stinking.

"Please help me to the bathroom" I whisper trying to get myself up, my body is shaky with no ounce of energy in my system.

Whatever that man did, he deserves an accolade, I will remember that when settling the scores.

"I will select some clothes for you first," she says heading to the closet. A few minutes later, she comes back with black shorts and a matching sweatshirt.

They brought my clothes and that's a relief.

"Let's go" she mumbles supporting me up and I almost fall back when my weak limbs touch the floor.

The woman looks at me pathetically. She must be wondering which hole I crawled from.

"Thank you" I whisper greatly and I hope she understands how thankful I am.

She might be an omega, but she's still a person regardless, I hate packs that treat each other according to rank.

"It's my duty luna" she asserts not even once looking into my eyes.

A scent catches my attention and I inhale deeply, a slight smile stretching on my lips at the thought of seeing him again.

"Mate" my wolf whispers.

"So the so-called hybrid is so weak to help herself to the bathroom ?" his voice stops us in our tracks.

My eyes snap to the breathtaking male entering the room, and I stare at him surprised at his statement.

I thought we were okay, what's gotten into him?

Are the rumours true?

A wolf known by every pack for how ruthless and selfish he is. What makes me think a woman will change that? just because his wolf claims her as his mate?

He moves to stand in front of us, and stares at me like am some piece of trash under his shoe, he scoffs.

I could have marvelled at how good he looked but am not allowed to.

"You are so pathetic " he scrunches his face in disgust. His eyes hold nothing but hatred. Why does he hate me?

I feel my eyes tear up but I hold it in, I have to be strong.

"Don't expect you'll be getting any blood in my pack because I abhor every blood-sucking creature" he sneers while I just gaze at him dumbfounded.

That sounded like a stab to my heart. 'He hates us' Celine whimpers out.

I didn't do anything wrong and it's okay if hates me. I just won't stay in a place am being treated like trash. As soon as I get better am getting the hell out of this godforsaken place.

If he rejects me I will have to move on. No one can reject an alpha wolf, only they have the authority to reject a mate they don't want.

I will rather be hurt once than living with this kind of person. Even if it hurts so much.

"Also remember you are just like any other person in this pack, and this omega here , will be your maid henceforth," he says gesturing to the woman holding me distastefully.

He has no respect for the elderly too, goddess!

He looks at us one last time before leaving and I sigh sadly.

I always knew I didn't have a mate, but having one who doesn't want you it's the same thing. Only that this breaks my heart a lot.

Why do I have to be this unlucky?

"Sorry about that luna" the woman beside me whispers remorseful

"It's okay, what is your name?" I mumble holding back the tears threatening to roll down my eyes and we resume walking.

"I am Agatha luna" I have no strength of correcting her again, maybe this pack values ranks that much, or they fear ranks.

She opens the large bathroom door and I look around amazed by the beauty the room beholds, it's better than mine.

The spacious bathtub is one thing I didn't have at home, too bad I won't be here for long to enjoy it's service.

"What are your preferences? " she asks respectfully. No doubt, I need to soak myself for hours if possible. Just a mere shower won't do justice to my skin.

"Prepare the bath please" She helps me on the counter and starts moving to add soap and fragrance to the warm water that I requested.

Meanwhile, I take the liberty of brushing my teeth. I never knew how much the simple task was a struggle until this moment.

I know nudity to our kind is not a big deal but I can't help but blush when she starts undressing me.

As soon as I enter the bathtub, a searing pain runs through my stomach before settling to my heart.

I scream my lungs out, but it only worsens the situation because it made the little I had vanish.

My breaths start coming out in pants, air suddenly leaving my weak body as bruises forms on my lower abdomen. I can't handle it.

My eyes begin give up and before I succumb to the darkness, only one thought crosses my mind.

My mate is making love to someone else.
