Chapter 003 bullying

AMELIA

A groan escaped my lips when the alarm’s piercing sound cut through the quiet air, waking me up from the dream land back to reality. The cruel reality that I was trying to run from. I wished I could drift back into a deep slumber and never wake up again. I felt the unwavering void that was embedded deep in my soul.

For the very first time, I didn't feel like going to college. My haven. The only place that gave me hope for the future had turned into a nightmare. I wasn't ready to face the twins after our last encounter. Their faces still haunted me each time I shattered my eyes. Their cold menacing eyes haunted me like a ghost…

I have never wished to leave Mystic pack this badly. I wished I could run away. Somewhere far where nobody knew my name or what the hell had happened to me.I sat on the edge of my tiny bed, blankly staring at the empty space, listening to my own weak heartbeat and uneven breath.

I couldn't tell how long I had sat on the bed because I had lost track of time.The door to my small room clicked open, jolting my mind back to the present.

“ It's time for college my love. Olivia is waiting for you downstairs…” My mother's voice dropped when she laid her eyes on me. She knows me damn well. One look on my face and she could tell that it was not well.

She walked to me and sat beside me on the tiny bed, the thin mattress sinking in due to her weight and the bed creaking a little bit. She took my hands into hers, giving them a tight squeeze.

“ I know…” She said, her voice low and gentle. Just like I said earlier, she knows me too well. My throat tightened when I heard her words, emotions clogged in my throat. Slowly, I raised my head to look at her.

I thought everything would be gone when I woke up in the morning after talking to my mother and Olivia yesterday night when I woke up. I thought the emptiness in my heart would be gone and the dull ache that I was feeling deep down would fade away.

I guess what they say is true because I could still feel it. The remains of the shattered bond. They say it takes time for the bond to completely break, especially if it's a bond between the alpha and his fated mate. It's because the alpha’s bond to his fated mate is the strongest of all bonds. It wasn't only one bond, but two!

“ I don't want to go to college...” I confessed, my voice barely audible and the tears that I was trying so hard to hold back burned its way out.

“ I know.” She said in a gentle voice. She was quiet for a while then heaved a deep sigh, as though she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.

“ What about your dreams?” She asked in concern and I hated it. I didn't want her to be this worried about me because she had enough things to worry about, not my stupid broken heart. I wanted to act though! However…I just couldn't no matter how hard I tried. She has always taught me to be strong.

She must be ashamed of me right now because I failed her. Even the mighty crumble, right?

“ You always tell me that you want to be someone more than an omega. How will you achieve that if you don't go to college?” I sniffled when I heard my mother's words.

That is true, I always tell my mother that I don't want to end up like other Omegas. I would like to write my own fate. That's why I chose to study medicine so that I can be a doctor when I’m done with college…

“ I..I don't know anymore…”I said, wiping tears from my eyes using the back of my hand. That was how I was truly feeling deep down. I didn't want to lie to my mom because I knew she would understand me better. She always does. My mother heaved a deep sigh and I could tell that what I was going through affected her too. I could see it in her tired eyes no matter how much she was trying to mask it.

“ Whatever you're going through, I want you to know that I’ll always be here for you.” Her lips curved into a reassuring smile. My vision blurred with tears and I wrapped my hands around her so tightly.

Goddess, just make this pain go away…

The surrounding in college was busy as students went about their business. Some were rushing to class for early lectures while others were gossiping. Olivia and I were heading over to our first class, biology. Olivia was trying to talk about something that I didn't pay that much attention to. I felt as though someone was watching me from the shadows, which was weird considering no one paid me any attention at college.

I darted my eyes around, searching. My eyes accidentally spotted the twins’ who were talking and laughing happily with their group of friends. I swallowed the lump down my throat, my stomach twisting as my grip on the backpack strap tightened.

“ Come on Amelia, don't mind those assholes.” Olivia said, tugging me. My heart ached inside my chest. I didn't want to mind them. I wanted to ignore them as though there was never anything that connected us. Seeing them all happy while I was silently hurting inside didn't do me any good. I swear I was trying my very best…

“ Is there anything witchy that you can do about it?” I asked Olivia as we walked down the hallway.

Olivia is half werewolf, half a witch. However, she doesn't do witch stuff because it's kinda forbidden. She's among the few witches that exist. She sticks to being a werewolf, keeping the witch side hidden.Olivia glared at me sharply when she heard my words. However, her eyes softened when she saw the look on my face. The look of pure innocence.

“ Maybe make me forget about the pain and fated mate thing?” I asked desperately, looking for an escape. I wanted her to do something to help me feel better, just anything that could be helpful. I have never wanted to forget something this badly.

She heaved a deep sigh, “ I wish I could but…”She was quiet for a while, “ Sadly there's nothing that we can do about it because the fated mate bond is sacred, especially the bond between the Alphas and their mates.The only thing that I can do is be here for you, Amelia. I’m sorry.” My heart sank in my stomach when I heard her words.

“ If there was something that I could do. I would turn those arrogant brats into frogs!” She said through gritted teeth, frustration written on her face for being helpless.

“They are lucky I don't know how to put a curse. I would have cursed them to remain in their wolf forms forever for hurting my bestie!” Olivia whisper-yelled, her voice full of hatred. I felt a little better knowing I had someone who cared about me.

I have never wished anyone bad but, I think I liked what Olivia said….

I was walking down the hallway, heading to the cafeteria with a lunchbox in my hands when I stumbled on something. A hiss escaped my lips when I landed on my knees and palms. The lunchbox fell on the concrete floor with a thud, the lead burst open and the sandwich scattered on the dirty floor.

A thunderous laughter cut through the air as though that was the funniest thing that hadn't happened in a long time. My jaw twitched and I gritted my teeth, anger boiling in my veins. I turned my head sharply towards the source of laughter and there they were, Sarah and Lola, the beta and gamma daughters. I didn't need a prophetess to tell me that the fall wasn't an accident.

“ What do you think Lola?” Sarah asked her friend, the corner of her lips curving into a smile. I wanted to slap the smile away from her face so badly and tell her it wasn't funny at all.

“ Aww, she looks good on the floor. It suits her like the omega she is.” They both laughed out loud, their voices so annoying.

Their words were like shards of ice that pierced my heart. A constant reminder that I would never amount to anything. This wasn't the first time that Sarah and Lola were doing this to me. I couldn't tell how many times because I had lost count. Whenever we cross paths both in college and in the pack, they never miss a chance to remind me of my status.

The reason why they hated me so much is because I surpassed them in studies. The two think that the world revolves around them. They think they deserve all the good things that this world has to offer.

“ Just a polite reminder, Omega. You'll never be like us! You'll always come last.”

I clenched my hands into tight fists, pain shooting through them since they were bruised from the fall. Tears burned in the corners of my eyes, threatening to fall but I held it back with everything that I had left inside me. I didn't want to give the two bitches the satisfaction that they were looking for.

Other students saw what happened but they didn't care to intervene. Well, it's not like I was expecting them to anyways. They ignored the scene, as though they never saw what happened.

I reached for the cracked lunchbox, hissing a little when pain shot through my knees. My knees were bruised too and I knew it would take time to heal since I didn't have a wolf and being an omega didn't work in my favour.

“ What is happening here?” I stiffened when I heard a familiar deep voice, reminding me of the last time I heard the voice. Slowly, I turned my head to the source of the voice. The alpha twins’ stood beside Sarah, they stared at me as I picked the sandwich and put it inside the lunch box.

The look on their faces changed when they noticed it was me. Perhaps they weren't expecting to bump into me after our last encounter. Their eyes turned cold and their faces twisted in disgust.

“ Nothing really. I was just reminding the Omega where she belongs.” Sarah said, shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly, as though it wasn't a big deal. My palms and knees were bruised and my lunchbox was broken. How was that not a big deal? I felt anger boil in my veins when I gave it a thought.

The twins' didn't say a word or cared to ask me what had happened. They just looked at me as though I was some piece of trash.

“ Come on, let's go.” Sarah urged her friends. The twins' turned around and walked away, never turning back…
