I didn't turn on any lights, careful to not step or stumble on my way. I directed myself towards the kitchen. A figure was leaning into the counter, back to me. The table lamp I had kept on the shelf in the living room rested on the counter. He.. yes from the dim light of the lamp I could make that out, his broad shoulder and his overall look gave it away.
‘Is he washing something? What was that?’ I asked myself. Blood?
Breath caught in my lungs.
I once again confirmed my grip on the handle and slowly moved toward him. I definitely did not want any excuses from anyone who had entered my house at this hour.
I raised the handle and crashed it down onto the person’s head.
Bang.<
We plopped on the sofa, tired from all the work we had just done. By the time we finished cleaning and setting it was already evening.“Let’s have something to drink?” I suggested.Liam just stared at me without any expression.“You never used to drink and now you drink too much.” he said. Well, he was right. I didn’t deny it. I stood up to fetch 2 glasses and the wine bottle. There was some merlot left in the bottle I sat up to finish last night but failed.As I grabbed the glasses from an upper cabinet, Liam got hold of my wrist.“No, Don’t start habits that you’ll regret in the future.” He warned.“I’
I sat on the sofa staring at the green card in hand. I had not opened it yet. The gold floral pattern in the front glistened, capturing slight glimpses of my reflection. I have been fiddling with this card for quite some time. Liam had gone back to his house. The party is going to be tonight.It’s already afternoon. I have been sitting here ever since Liam had gone. It’s weird the more I think about it. My hurt felt the pain, but I didn’t want it to show. If I didn’t go it would be giving up without even trying. I will have to go. I can’t give the relief of not showing up, they would think I’m still in love with him,“Where’s the lie in it, though?” I asked myself. I sighed deeply and opened the card. Liam had told me many times to open it, I didn’t know how I would react seeing their names toget
All I could see before my eyes was Alexia, the female delta head, hugging my mate snuggled in my blanket, in my bedroom.I ran as fast as my legs could carry me.My wolf had become dormant the moment he rejected me but now the insult was unbearable. I shifted, painfully and ran away. With no destination in mind, nowhere to go and sadly no one would even realise my missing.Hera and Liam would come. Maybe.Trust was completely erased from my dictionary.Hate is the only emotion I feel now.Why? Why?I loved him. My first love, my mate.I had no idea what my fate had for me as up until now
ThaliaThe black sheep of my family. I wanted to be a warrior, a protector of my pack but being the part of a well established royal family I was not supposed to do it. I was expected to lead a royal life, the life inside my house. We weren’t the ruling family but we did have power. And I never wanted to be kept inside. I want to run, run through the woods in my fave pair of comfy clothes rather than being assisted with what to wear, what not to wear. As my granny always said "we have a family honor to keep"It’s absurd.Well, I truly hope my mate was someone I could enjoy all my adventures with. Be who I am and do what I want.Days went by and today was my 18th birthday. the day I have been waiting for. to find my mate
Rejected.An excruciating pain shot up my lower body. I crouched down holding my belly. The pain spread through my nerves and it felt like my body and soul would rip apart any second. Tears flooded, head throbbed, muscles weakened. A mixture of emotions, but I was too numb from the pain. I couldn't make out what I was feeling right now.I slowly opened my eyes and looked over to our bed, laying naked was my friend Alexia. She had her head up, probably enjoying the scene of seeing me in pain. But why?. She was smirking.I tried getting up but in vain. I could hear grey growling and throwing a tantrum.I shut my eyes tight and held my breath.I needed time, time to think this through.
I got myself a glass of wine and even though I did not want to think of them, the memories of me and Ethan came gushing forth in my mind that my tears threatened to escape any second.Only then I remembered, It would only be a matter of seconds before they found me because of my smell, I got up and fumbled through the kitchen cabinet. I recalled buying a smell mask to use whenever I came here to decorate or design so that no one would know about this place and I could keep this secret up until my wedding. Well, now it comes in handy in a very different, unexpected situation.As soon as my hand landed on that tiny bottle, I rubbed it on my smell gland, at the back of my neck.Hoping that I have not let my smell trail here, I sat down, and gulped the liquid in the glass. It went down bu
I entered the room that I proudly declared as ‘ours’. Well, now it is ‘theirs’. I could see how things had moved around. Instead of the fresh lilies I used to pick from our garden, there were coffee mugs. Instead of my bookshelf, there stood what seemed to be a plant. The books on the coffee table have also been removed, the paint and curtains have also been replaced. Once on that balcony there were all the beautiful exotic plants that bloomed all varieties of flowers. How pretty and soothing it was to step out into that view. We also had a couple chairs, we spent hours lazily sitting there enjoying a cup of coffee.I recalled how I sat down with my books in the corner of this very room dreaming of a life with Ethan and junior versions of him and me running around the house. Our little happy family. And look! How things have changed, how fate has played its part. Bad.
I dragged the suitcase along with me to the market. I always liked coming here and getting the stuff I wanted rather than writing it down and waiting for the maids to get it for me. The market is usually crowded; either side of the lane had errands set up and a small passage through them hardly fitting 2 people. Of course the news of the rejection and me being in coma has spread like wildfire. I wonder how many of them knew about his affair before me and smiled every time I stopped by to get some fresh flowers or veggies. I wonder if they had announced their marriage and pregnancy.. I wonder if anyone knows where I live? Why the heck am I thinking about them? I shrugged off the thought. I walked away from the crowd heading home. I’ll get the necessities later. As I strolled, just before the turn to my street a small coffee shop came into view.
