Burden

CHAPTER 3(VISENNA POV)

Quickly, all eyes fell on her and I was abandoned.

"How dare you!" Fiona yelled from amidst the court and capir scurried over. He hovered over Daphne and her, craning her head on his chest.

Cahir looked at me with disdain and my mouth open in unbelief. The clamour around me heightened and all I could do was stand there, looking at cahir unwaivering gaze.

My lips moved but I couldn't say anything.

"Bitch! Say something, defend yourself" Fiona screeches as her voice was like a thorn on my flesh.

I flinched, feeling so embarrassed.

"Queen mother" i finally found my voice but she snapped. "You rotten witch, how dare you push her to the ground? You're jealous and want to take her place!"

I gasped with grief intending to defend myself but her torture furthers.

"Why can't you respect her? She is here to give us an heir while you've been here for three years unable to do so, keep your clutches to yourself!

I rolled my eyes to cahir, he would defend me, I thought to myself but his eyes had darken.

"How could you viz? I never thought you could descend low"

I widened my eyes, stuttering like an idiot. The whole court hissed at me as they depart one after the other.

Fiona pulled Daphne to her embrace, aiding her out of the court. Daphne clutches at her cloth and limped after her.

Cahir was the last to leave, he snarled at as he walked pass me and i fell to the ground, broken and bittered.

Nothing remained the same. He was gradually drifting away from me.

To worsen it, I never go a chance to air my view about the sudden injustice my pack faced and why he was acting cruel on them.

It was never meant to be!

Soon, news of her pregnancy began to circulate, it got to my ears. I had mixed emotions gushing through me.

Caphir decided to organize a ball to celebrate his excitement. His dreams of having a child.

How pathetic, I wished I was in her shoes.

The ball started around 5pm. Alphas, betas, deltas from different packs graced the occasion. It was certainly for him to brag of his competency as a true alpha.

Caphir saw me and didn't spare me a glance. Daphne strolled in haughtily with the dirtiest smirk and Fiona scorns at me.

Once again, I was abandoned and not want to shed tears, I left the event and stride to the garden with bottles.

I gulp with so much rage till I felt drunk.

It dull my pain and made it bearable so I couldn't stop it. There on my seat, a bottle mead was dangling in my hand.

"Luna visenna, it's unlikely for a lady to drink from a bottle" a seemingly familiar voice said to me.

Before I turned sideways, my bottle flew from my hand and whosoever it was drank from it nonstop.

"Ah...mead, you sure have a good taste" he said and took his seat beside me.

"Alpha evander?" I called drunkenly and snatched my bottle from him.

He was the last person I needed right now, even in my drunken state, I knew it.

He took a glimpse at me as I felt mousey struggling hard to keep a clear vision.

"What's a beautiful damsel doing alone here?"

I frown at him wishing to see my face in the mirror. He always flirtly compliments me.

"It's none of your concern" I muses yawning unnoticeably and striding my eyes to the lights that booms from the event center.

I was in the woods now, all alone except for this disrupter that doesn't know the right time to be here.

To be sincere, I always see him as a flirt and he dares not appear as an emotional support.

"Let me guess, your fairygod mother haven't appeared" he gruesomely spoke and I chuckle without realizing.

He took the bottle again from me and gulp down and snatch it back.

"Let's wait for her together" he mutters and my cheeks flush red. 

This alpha was so handsome and alluring that I couldn't help but stare.

"Why are you here?" I asked hiccuping and he strokes my back gently to let out the drink. I hugged the bottle because I fear he would take out of it again.

Surprisingly, he brought more and placed it beside me.

"I asked first" he whispers and I rolled my eyes. It was just for the night, anything I said would be forgotten because we look both drunk.

Drowning ourselves, I was in stupor, barely recognizing where I was but never forgetting the man beside me.

"I don't know, it caphir and his new breeder" my lips confessed rolling my eyes with an expression of contempt.

He nodded his head and blot his cheeks as though wanting to reach.

"He sees me as someone use...less, barren, nugatory, futile and so many horrible things"

"Did he really say that!" He snapped and I read the angst in him. He folded his fist, his blue iris glares as it now had a green ring around it.

I held his shoulder and shook his head not to morph in my presence. Soon, he remains his human self and heaved a sigh.

"He doesn't deserve you, you're the bravest woman I've ever come across"

His words were comforting and I found myself smiling as I was a bit nervous.

"If it hurts, let it out, scream it and tell him, damn you caphir!"  He pressed on. I ducked my head at him, a little startled at his words.

This man was blunt and I was liking his personality. I ended up pouring my heart to him with tears and he stare, enthralled.

I spoke about how bittered I felt about the treatment of my people, Fiona cold attitude towards me, the blizzard way caphir

Suddenly, he embraced me, cuddling me in his arms. His breath smelt of alcohol and I never minded.

He was my therapy and I loved the way he cusses at Fiona and Daphne. I was forgetting I had a beef on him, blame it on mead.

"It's okay viz, always be proud of who you are" he encourages and I felt impuissant constantly wanting us to remain in that manner for a long time.

I sniffed as he wiped my tears, consoling me. I felt so alive in his arms.

Languorously, I lifted my head to face his gaze, feeling more relieved and the burden in my heart was lifted.

"Tell me about you" I dryly ask like though I was interested. It was just to while away time and not to witness the event on going.

I took the last sip of the drink and threw the bottle to the ground like it were a trophy which I disregard.

Raising my hands up, I screamed like he said.

"Damn you cahir" I yelled with so much boldness that my voice echoes.
