"You made this?" She asked in a hard tone and I nodded. Displeasure clouded her face as she dropped the spoon. "What's wrong?" Thorne asks her and she frowns. "What's wrong?" She repeated his question back to him. "I can't eat this""Why? You were enjoying it moments ago""Until I knew who made it""And what does that have to do with anything""A lot. A whole fucking lot. You know fully well that I don't like her and to deceive me into eating what she made""You weren't deceived. Stop making a fuss out of nothing" she glowered at her brother. "I can't eat this. I want something else. Something not cooked by you" She glared at me up and down with disdain. "Nothing else will be given to you Diedre. This all you will eat""I'd rather starve" She stood up and grabbed the plate, rushing to the door and throwing it into the trash can. That didn't go as I had planned or imagined. It was worse, tears bummed at the corner of my eyes and I tried so hard not to let it out. I went back to ea
"I..I..." I stammered but nothing seemed to be coming out it was like I had completely lost my voice. My lack of speech seemed to annoy Thorne further and his grip on my hand tightened. Fear coursed through my body and I already expected the worst to the way he was acting."Alpha" a new voice interrupted us but I was too scared to move even my head. Busta came into my view, looking between me and Thorne."Alpha" he called again."What?" Thorne snapped at him."Your wolf is taking over" I hadn't even noticed but now Busta pointed it out, I could see it and it made me even more frightened. He let go of my hand, pacing in front of me. "How dare you fucking go in there" he yells. "You have to be calm Alpha. She has no idea she wasn't supposed to be there""She ruined it. Everything I had worked so hard to preserve. Tainted" His voice was thick with emotion which made me understand that I had really messed up but I still didn't understand."I fucking told everybody to never go in there"
I was sitting in the lesson, absent-minded. If Wade had noticed I wasn't paying any attention, he had not made the comment yet but I felt his eyes on me. The events of yesterday still played in my head and I had a strong desire to turn back the hands of time to prevent it from happening but that was impossible. There was nothing I could do to change what happened. Thorne said he had forgiven me but I didn't believe that either. His disposition was still cold and he had left way earlier than he usually did. "That will be all for today" Wade announced closing his large book and I did the same, fiddling with the edges. "Ava" Torren drew closer and I forced a smile on my face. "That smile is not fooling me," he said bluntly, crossing his arms over his chest. "What do you mean?" "That something is bothering you. You weren't even paying any attention today""I was" I lied and he scoffed. "Wade" "I'm going to step out" Wade quickly said, not wanting to be involved in the conversation
"What do you mean?" I ask as I try to pull my hand away from her hold but her grip is too tight. "The bracelet. Why do you love it?""It was a gift" I answered and successfully yanked my hand out of her hold."You bloody lying, thieving scum" she spat at me and I felt offended, rage building up time. "Don't call me names""So you can talk back now" She could call it talking back or whatever but I was defending myself. I wasn't going to stand quietly like a fool and have her accuse me of stealing. "Hand it over" She held out her hand, demanding u give her back the bracelet. "No," I said firmly. This was a gift from Agatha. She couldn't just come here and demand that I give it to her. She was trying to oppress me and I wasn't going to allow her to do it. "No?" She scoffed. "You don't want to do this with me, Ava. Hand that bracelet over right fucking now" she yelled louder but her voice didn't deter me. She could scream at the top of her lungs and I wouldn't be moved at this point
He didn't come to bed that night. I knew because his own side of the bed was cold and untouched. It left a sour feeling in my stomach and did nothing for my mood. I tried to pay attention in class so Wade wouldn't have to go back on what he had already thought. I couldn't allow personal issues to interfere with his duties. Nyla dropped by and tried to cheer me up along with Torren but I couldn't even smile. My mood only got worse in the days that followed and Thorne didn't show up in our bedroom. I didn't see him around, both at dinner or accidentally run into him in the hallway. I knew he was around but it seemed like he had vanished into thin air. "Hey," Torren snapped his fingers in my face. "You've been in your head for a while now. Are you okay?" he asked with a frown and I nodded, as usual trying to smile like everything was okay. "You haven't made any improvement in days," he said and I heard a grunt of approval coming from the other end of the room where Wade was. "I'm rea
That night, he came to bed. I didn't know when he came or left but being bombarded with the scent on the sheets as soon as I woke up, let me know that and his side was rumpled. I don't know what compelled me but I leaned over and took a large whiff of his scent through my nose. I didn't realize how much I had missed waking up to the bed surrounded by his scent. The door creaked open and I slowly lay down properly so whoever it was wouldn't know that I was inhaling his scent. "Eiza," I said over excitedly and she just stared at me with a confused face. "Are you okay?" "Sure? Why not""I don't know. You were hunched over just now and you're smiling zealously""Shouldn't I smile?" I queried her. "Of course" She disappeared into the bathroom and called me when the bath was ready. I did my morning routine with Eiza and then I stepped out, heading to the tutoring room and doing some reading while waiting for Nyla. I was also considering an outdoor walk but I didn't have the energy and t
I didn't know when I slept off but when I opened my eyes, it was morning and I was having a terrible headache from all the crying I was doing the night before. I rolled onto my back, staring up at the ceiling, still feeling terrible about how last night had played out. I had my doubts but I still had high hopes that it would work. I had been greatly disappointed to the point of tears. The door opened and I sat up. Eiza entered with a bright smile. I scowled at her."Good morning" she chaped loudly. "What has you in such a happy mood" I questioned sourly but it did not dampen her mood. "Had a good night. You?" My stomach chose that moment to rumble loudly and she stared up at me."You didn't get anything to eat last night" as if I didn't remember clearly. "I'll get some food for you" I nodded. "Make it something light" She nodded and left the room while I went into the bathroom for a shower and other things. As soon as I was done, I came out and changed into a simple dress for my c
I already expected trouble at her appearance. It was typical for her to cause commotion wherever she appeared or saw me rather. It wasn't coincidental that she appeared here just that I was about to start cooking. She heard that I was cooking here every night, probably noticing my absence and that of her brother at the dining table during dinner. She didn't like the answer she got so she was here to cause problem.I turned away from her, determined to ignore her. If I didn't pay her any attention, she would probably get fed up and leave me alone. It was not like I thought. The kitchen had fallen in silence and only footsteps could be heard as she walked towards me. I continued chopping the vegetables, not saying a word to her. She walked around me, looking at what I was preparing."Who is in charge here?" She called and the lady quickly ran to her."Do you not know your job well?" She asked in a frightening voice."I...I do""Then why is there an intruder, cooking in the kitchen. T
