Chapter-04

Two years later,

I wake up hearing some unfamiliar voice.

The voice was so disturbing, and it felt like someone was banging inside my head.

“Good morning sleepy head.” I heard someone say and look around the room, but there was no one.

Today the alpha will take his oath, and that was why Mom was out.

So who was talking inside my room? Was it some intruder?

“Who is there?” I asked scared and kicked my blanket so that I could get up from the bed. But I instantly regret it.

It was winter in our pack, and I was wearing only my thin nightdress.

My blanket is enough to keep me covered and warm, but when I kicked it, a shiver run through my body.

“I am your wolf. You are stupid. Happy birthday,” I hear the voice say.

“You stupid.” I retort back, but then it hit me.

It was not an intruder. I became eighteen today so I will surely get my wolf. Before today, I have felt her but it was the first time I was hearing her talk.

“Why do you need to wake me up like this?” I said in my mind, thinking she must hear my thoughts as she was living inside my head.

I take the blanket and slip inside it, relaxed.

“I was waiting for so long. But you are sleeping. So I thought why not wake you up and introduce myself? Hello, I am Lira.” She said, and I scoff.

I was not interested in meeting her.

From the day Jack left, I was not interested in anything. I didn’t want another heartbreak.

“Why do you think like this? He was not your mate? And I will never leave you. I am part of you.” She whined sadly.

I know I must have hurt her feelings.

But that is how I have become in these two years, an insensitive bitch.

And I can’t help that. And I couldn’t pretend to as she shares the same mind with me.

“Don’t worry, I know you are hurt. But we can start from new.” She said enthusiastically, and I sigh.

“Hi, I am Nora,” I said again, thinking she is right.

We can start from new.

It is not like my life has ended because some stupid man decided to leave me without giving any explanation.

I got up from the bed and walk downstairs.

I am all alone in the house today. Mom rarely comes home nowadays.

Our asshole alpha has decided they need to stay in the servant quarter if they want to serve the pack.

Without the job of Dad and Mom, they will become useless in the pack.

So they decided to move there.

They wanted to take me along, but I didn’t want to stay in the pack house.

That person has ruined my life. That incident was a ban in my life and even though it was Jack’s fault, he should have talked to me before living me like this.

But that Alpha was responsible too.

I can’t stay there without trying to harm him, That’s why I stayed back.

Mom and Dad come here on the weekend to spend time with me and every time they try to persuade me to move with them.

I deny them every time though I don’t like to make them sad it will be too much for me to stay there.

After Jack left, I was so broken emotionally they had to admit me to the hospital, and there they get to know I was slipping into depression.

Though I have come a long way since that, and my inner thoughts don’t torment me so much but they have become wary of me and they didn’t try to pressurize me.

I miss them a lot as the house has become lonely.

Though dad was rarely home before too, there was a feeling in this house. It used to be filled with their scent, their warmth.

But now everything feels empty, and it hurt me a lot.

 

I made myself a bowl of noodles and gulp them hurriedly.

I will soon graduate from school, and after that, I can move to the town.

I don’t want to stay in this pack anymore.

That asshole is going to take his oath as alpha.

I wanted to leave this pack before that.

But I don’t want to leave my parents alone.

So I was waiting when they would go with me.

I think if I have a stable job I would be able to persuade them.

“Why do you call him an asshole? He must have a name.” My wolf complained inside my mind, and I couldn’t believe she talked back to me because of that damn bastard.

“Yes, he has. His name is Jaden. So what? He behaves like an asshole that’s why I call him that.” I retort, and she gave me a disapproving glare.

Is she taking his side against me?

What is her problem?

But I ignore her and get ready for my school.

I have an exam today, my last exam.

It’s been two years since Jack left.

But still, the places where we used to sit and talk and enjoy our sweet moments remind me of him.

I don’t know if it is love or his betrayal. It still hurt me a lot.

My wolf gave a sad whine and I sigh.

After this week, I will not have to come to this place. Maybe that can help me move on.

 

When I was passing through the corridor, I heard some gossip.

I rarely give head to them, but today the topic of gossip was my interest.

“You know He has finally agreed. Next week he will be officially alpha of this pack.” A girl said, and I frown.

He has changed many things in this pack.

Though they were for betterment, his every decision hurt me a lot.

So I couldn’t appreciate them.

I don’t know what will he do after he will become officially alpha of this pack.

I walked away in a dejected mood and enter my room.

I need to take some action before he again does something which leads to ruin my happiness.

I can’t stay anymore here.

I have to take some drastic steps so that I can leave this pack before he becomes alpha.

I have become eighteen already.

I think Mom and Dad won’t have any problem moving with me.

And if I manage to secure a job, the process will be much smoother.

I don’t want to tolerate Jaden anymore.

He has snatched my love from me. I won’t let him snatch my parents, too.
