I’m never returning to the pack

Ximena

The slap could’ve made the old me stagger in shock but I stood my ground, my teeth gritted with my hands fisted as I stared at Eloise with fury.

“How dare you stare at the Alpha like that? Have some respect! He’s a fucking Alpha and you’re nothing but a guard, you should never look at him!” Eloise scolded and I scoffed with anger.

She was the Alpha’s only sister and she behaved like she was the owner of the world. Everything about her reeked of pride and it was fucking disgusting to be around her. Her aura made my skin crawl with disdain.

“Why did you come back? I’m sure you heard the Alpha was around that was why you rushed back.” She accused me and I scoffed, too bothered to even think of the Alpha who had already left.

“I have nothing to say to you.” I replied as I turned around to leave but she held me back, making my anger triple.

“Where are you running to? Are you going to run after him? Is this how desperate you are? You know nobody in this pack is going to be with you because of that witch you call your grandmother, is that why you want someone from another pack?” She questioned and I almost scowled in anger.

I was breathing heavily with Xena trying her best to calm me down. “Get out of my way—“

“Why? Aren’t I allowed to speak the truth? Does the truth hurt so bad? Are you feeling guilty?” She asked with a sly smile and I inhaled and exhaled, trying to control my anger.

“Get out of my way, Eloise.” I warned subtly.

“Or what? You dirty guard! You’re nothing but mere servant to this pack, I could order you to go fight rogues and you can die along the way. If you’re in need of a man, I can be more than willing to give you one or two prisoners in the dungeon so you would stop throwing yourself at a person who would never have eyes for you—“ Eloise was still talking when the anger felt unbearable and I did the one thing I was most proud of.

I slapped her, the force was so overwhelming it took her seconds to snap out of it, I could see my hand lines plastered on her face and it felt awfully good to see her speechless with tears in her eyes.

“How dare you!” She snapped as she slapped me, making me turn in shock as I tasted blood in my mouth but today wasn’t like any other day, I wouldn’t let her get away with this, I’m going to give her a cup, not a sip of her own medicine.

“Argh!” She yelled the moment I returned the slap, her eyes were red and she was staring at me with fury, her hand plastered on her cheek as she tried to hold back the already streaming tears while looking like a time bomb ready to explode.

“I’m a warrior who is protecting not only this pack but your crazy ass! If you have a problem with me doing my job in the best way, then you can as well ask the Alpha to lay me off and if you have a personal beef with me, we can fight it out in the open and let the strongest man dominate.” It was a subtle threat and she stepped back a little, panting heavily with fury as she was too scared to say a word.

I turned around and left the pack house, angrily making my way to the house with Xena trying to calm me but I was so done with Eloise. Whatever beef she has with me can’t keep dragging because I won’t take rubbish from anyone, not even the Alpha of the pack.

Getting to the house, I was shocked to see grandmother standing outside, looking moody. “Grandmother, is there are problem?”’I asked with concern and she sighed heavily.

“Come with me.” She replied and I was gripped with fear, ever since I came here, I’ve never seen her this way, it got me trying to rack my brain for what could be wrong.

My parents are okay, even though they had cut me off after asking me to return which I ignored. “What’s wrong?” I asked, unable to hide my fear.

“It’s your father.” She replied and I gasped with shock, my heartbeat racing at the thought that something crazy must’ve happened to him.

“What’s wrong with father? please tell me—“ I pleaded, grabbing her hands immediately as fear flooded my whole body as I thought of only one dreadful idea, death.

“He’s— He’s weak and he wants you to come back—“ Grandmother answered and my heart began racing heavily.

He was still alive, there was still a chance to see him and make sure he’s okay. Without a word, I shifted into my wolf form and dashed out of the house.

Running as fast as I could as I headed towards the border. Xena was worried and all she wanted was to see him, it had been years and now it was high time I returned back home.

Without being bothered about whether it was getting late or what I might encounter along the way, with determination I made my way to the Armstrong pack for the first time in six years.

Following the shortest way to the house, I dashed into the house with a growl loud enough to chase birds away.

“Ximena—“ I heard mom’s frail voice and it broke my heart into a million pieces. I was their only hope and I had left them, I had abandoned them out of my foolishness.

“Ximena.” My brothers called as they surrounded me and slowly, I shifted back to my wolf form, my eyes tears as I stepped forward slowly.

“Wh— Where is father?” I whispered almost breaking into tears. The house was still the same, not one thing had changed, they only got older and looked more weary.

“I’m here—“ He beamed with a big smile and I froze. I was shocked to see father standing with a smile. I was happy that he was okay but I was confused.

“Fa— How— What—“ I stuttered, looking from mother to father.

“He’s okay, we only said this so you could come back home—“ Brother explained and my hands dropped to my side.

“What!” I gasped, unable to contain my shock and my brothers began laughing. It all seemed like a joke to them but it was damn serious to me.

“You— You did all these just to bring me back?” I demanded and they smiled.

“Yes, the Alpha—“

“What! Why would you lie to me just to bring me back home! Do you know how scared and worried I was! Does this look funny! Why would you use something as terrifying as that?” I snapped and silence dominated the house.

“Don’t ever send a message to me, I’m never returning to this pack, not even when I die! This is the last time you’ll ever see me!” I vowed harshly as I dashed out of the house, running with tears in my eyes.

That pack is very dangerous— They have a bipolar Alpha—“ Dhruv’s voice was filled with concern and I sighed heavily.“There’s nothing I can do! My pack is in danger— My pack members have lived in fear for the past three years, they can’t live their lives in fear— I need to do something. I don’t care if they have a feral Alpha, as long as he can help!” I replied sternly, feeling angered that he was trying to dissuade me from choosing the most effective but dangerous way to save the pack.“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have crossed the line.” He whispered, bowing slightly and I nodded. He walked out and I slumped on the chair, using my hands to crease the worries out of my forehead.Going to the Shadow pack had been a very dangerous decision but just like I did what I had to do for my pack six years ago by rejecting my mate and getting mated to a woman of powerful background, I was going to give all it takes

That was the best way he could convince me? By lying and making me crazy with worry?” I retorted with anger.“You’ve ignored their words for six years, Ximena. They were desperate, they love us so much to lie just to get us back—“ She tried to explain but no explanation was justifiable for what had happened.“No. That was too extreme and I meant every word I said to them. I’m never returning back to the pack and I mean it.” I replied vehemently and I heard Xena whimper sadly.Not even her sad cries would make me go back, my mind is made up already. “Why?
