Broken

Chapter 6

I was shattered, embittered as cold run down my spine.

"Didn't I tell you? You're nothing to him!" Daphne barks and I broke down in tears, falling to my knees.

Now, he sees me as nothing! The thought of pregnancy faded from my head, instantly and from that day, I accept my fate as my people.

Their taunts continued, days turn into weeks and I began to run errands for Daphne based on orders approved by my mate! Cahir.

How could he? I was honoured and the reason he had risen to so much power and now, I'm nothing in his sight?

Reminiscing over my life, here I was, in the kitchen, patiently waiting for a maid to hand over a glass of milk to me, which I will serve 'her royal villainess'

It was so obvious I dislike her as she was gradually taking my place. Everyone spoke about her.

She was kind, loving and so on and so forth but believe, she's the queen of drama.

Sometimes, she appears to defend me in front of Fiona just to look good in the eyes of the workers around.

Unfortunately for me, I was left with no one. Every night, I wet my bed with tears and sober over the sufferings of my people.

I was emotionally drained and as though their taunts weren't enough, they assault me on several occasions.

I was going through the most exquisite kind of agony in my life.

No one comes to console me, my perfectly spotless skin were giving room to bruises because of Fiona's harsh treatments.

My maids were taken away and I had no guards protecting or escorting to wherever I tread.

That alone was enough to end my miserable life but then instead of depreciating, I keep adding weight and glowing which was bizzare.

I reluctantly collected the glass of milk from the maid and pace to Daphne's room but she wasn't there.

My next stop was caphir's chamber, she was always there and it riles anger inside me.

Annoyingly dumping it on the table, I stepped out. Cahir was there too teasing her right in front of me.

Our eyes locked for a while. He had this sort of gladness in his eyes like a child. When he loves, he tend to become weak.

However, I tried not to think that love was for Daphne. I threw my gaze at Daphne who beckons on me to leave.

I stomped out, apoplectic with rage at the decision of becoming a servant amongst my pack.

Trying to keep calm, I stroll towards the garden, my solemn place, wishing for the pups to come play with me as they always do but there was no one.

It was evander suddenly walking towards me, I almost tripped on my toe if he hadn't held from falling.

My breast pinned against his as his breath covered my face. He made me numb and it was obvious.

My tail wags out and he rolled his eyes behind me and I was in a state of discomfiture.

The jestful he pulled made me unease.

"Did you miss me? Mate?"

I widen my eyes at him as mave blushes inside me. The chills he give whenever he appears.

She missed him not me!

"Get your hands off me!" I ordered not knowing why my heart was flustered at his presence.

He raises his hands like a surrender and how dare him call me his mate.

"I was worried sick about you..."

"Argh!" I groaned espired and gesturing to him to leave.

To my amazement, I felt something kicking in my stomach and it troubles me.

I winced and he asked if I was fine, attempting to draw closer to me but I refrained him.

"I can't, you're hurt" he said with a weak tone that got me speechless. I will definitely heal or not because that was my difficulty; healing.

Yes, I was bruised at my left elbow and he made me notice it.

Quickly, he ordered a maid who was passing by to get an ointment.

She obeyed and returns in a jiffy with a kit containing everything needed for an injured patient.

He sat me on the bench and took my hand but I refute and he took it forcefully but painlessly.

"Stop acting all stubborn, let it out if it hurts" he muses and i was sullen.

Evander narrates that he got an invitation from caphir and was jinxed that it was relating to some kind of merger.

Treating my wound gently, I was lost in his act. His lips blew the ointment to dry as I gulp softly.

"Why do you keep coming back? I told you to stay away"

He heaves a sigh at me and cupped my face.

"I don't know, it hurts here whenever you're away and broken"

His eyes were sorrowful as he was making me emotional and I pulled my hand away from his grip to hide the sensation I was feeling.

"That's none of your business, bury any kind of feeling you have for me because I won't give it back" I declared throwing my face away from him and standing up.

He stood up too and appeared in front of me. The sudden stare he gave took my breath away and it took a while for me to regain my consciousness.

"Why do you hate me so much?" He asked staring into my eyes and searching for answers.

Evander had a wistful and melancholic mood written on his look. I pushed him away feeling mousey, yet couldn't reply.

"You disgust me!" I concluded with a frown as he lowered his head.

It took a while before he replied and that was the kindness words I have heard in months.

"I hope you seek the happiness you want to find"

He left me after an immerse stare at me that melted my heart but I had to snap out of what sensation comes in mind.

How could I face him after that night? I wish to forget but Mave brings it back.

His passionate kiss came flooding my head and I hated mave for doing that.

Casting my mind away from evander's presence, I focused on cahir yet again.

"I wish he calls me" my lips mutters and boom! A beta appears to inform me that caphir wants me in his chamber.

Cahir prefers betas as his soldiers guarding the palace while the deltas fights in war. They were my pride.

"Yes!" My heart cries. At last, he called to see me after months. Of course he misses me and couldn't admit it
