Horrible Alpha

KALILA POV

I could not be mistaken. I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming. I had seen him die. I saw him stop breathing. I saw them trying to revive him!

I stumbled towards him and ran into him, not minding if he wasn't fully prepared for my attack.

I wrapped my arms around him and clutched his shirt tightly.

My lower lips trembled, and I blinked back the tears at the back of my eyes, but it was useless.

It came pouring down hard and fast, blinding my vision. I didn't need to see anyway; I only desired to feel his strong arms around me.

"I'm sorry, Apollo. I am so sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen to you!" I cried.

I was in his arms for a few seconds until I felt him extract my arms away from my body.

He stared at me coldly, and he let out a grunt.

"I-I..."

"Save it." He said gruffly. "And who the hell is Apollo?!"

He seemed to be mad for some reason I didn't understand.

I tried walking towards him, but his voice halted me again.

"How dare you mention another man's name under my roof?!" His voice still had that icy feel.

It made me shudder.

I shook my head, blinking back the tears behind my eyes. Did he have amnesia after slamming his head into the pavement? Didn't be remember me?

I doubted he did because Apollo had never acted this coldly toward me before. Although he was out of my league, he was receptive toward me.

He was charming, unlike this cold, arrogant man before me.

"What do you mean by that?" I murmured, clutching the hem of the dress I donned.

He marched towards me and halted. "What else do you want, Dahlia? You can't even mention my name correctly."

He snarled at me.

I slinked back at the harshness of his words.

Who was Dahlia?

I recalled Nova had called him Alpha Ares Archer. But how did he have Apollo's face but a different personality from him?

"Apollo and Alpha Ares are different," Nova spoke, confirming my suspicion. "Alpha Ares is your mate. In other words, he is Dahlia's mate, and you are in Dahlia's body."

I wished I could remember all that was happening at this instant. At least I'd be able to face off against the Alpha, who seemed like he'd do anything more than to be in the same room as me.

I couldn't recall my memories because Nova hadn't told me about them.

I didn't know the relationship Dahlia had with him as well.

I breathed and moved toward him, "I'm sorry for the misconception. But I don't remember our past."

"Liar!" Ares barked, startling me again. "I've always known you to be a manipulator, but I never knew you'd try to use this memory loss on me. Might I remind you again that you already got what you desired?"

"Stop fucking acting pitiful to get my attention. That can never work on me anymore." He growled.

And that seemed to piss me off. I was furious. He had come to the room only to bark at me, whereas I did nothing wrong. I wonder if he was this terrible to everyone.

"You are such a horrible Alpha; if that is how you treat everyone, I feel sorry for whoever comes near you!" I blurted out before I could help myself.

I clenched my hands and bit my lower lip.

I chanced a glance at Alpha Ares and saw his startled gaze. His nostrils flared, and he breathed in noisily.

I guess he wasn't expecting me to respond to him in that manner.

"As much as you are the Luna, you need to respect him and refrain from trying to reveal your identity," Nova said.

I bit my tongue, swallowing back the rude retorts in my mouth.

It wasn't delightful. He could be mean to me, but I couldn't be mean to him.

It wasn't my intention to reveal my identity, but it seemed whatever was going on between Alpha Ares and Dahlia, I had been dragged into it.

There was no way I could escape.

Ares marched towards me angrily. He gritted his teeth and scowled at me. His mouth opened, but no words came out of it. I guess he was trying to control his speech.

After an intense glare, he stormed out of the room, leaving me.

I sighed, plopping on the bed as soon as he left.

I was exhausted. I still needed rest. It seemed like my body had not fully healed from the accident.

I shut my eyes momentarily and drifted off.

I came awake to the sound of yelling.

I jumped out of bed and walked to the window. The stars brightened the sky, and the full moon was out. I could have sworn I had only shut my eyes briefly, but it was already nighttime.

I could make out people running here and there with more yelling.

I guess the pack was getting attacked, as Nova had said.

I tried running to the door to let myself out; although I didn't know how to help, I knew I needn't stay idle.

The door was locked.

I tried on the handle several times, but nothing happened.

I walked back towards the window and saw everywhere was calm again.

What had happened?

I wanted someone to desperately let me in on what was happening, but there was no one to ask, and I doubted Nova would help.

I jumped as I heard the lock twisting, and Alpha Ares strode in.

I eyed him, and he did the same.

"What happened?" I asked as he walked towards the wardrobe.

Alpha Ares ignored me for a few seconds and searched for only god knows what.

I saw him grip a flannel and tug the white T-shirt off his body. I then realised the blood stains on the T-shirt, but it didn't seem like it was from him, although several stitches covered his body.

I averted my gaze as he turned to look at me.

I flushed, glancing away.

"An attack." He said gruffly. "And you can do nothing about it." He added.

He was making me look useless again. I wish I could hit him in his face hard, but Nova's warning sounded in my head, so I refrained.

I watched as he finished changing his outfit; he scowled at me as he did to me before he left me alone again.
