Life has been tough these past few days. I tried to live normally. I really did but the weight of Blaed's death consumed me. I saw him in my dreams. Sometimes he was whole and other times he was headless but I didn't want to see him at all. I wanted to forget that horrific day but it was stuck in my head. There was no forgetting it. I finished scrubbing the floors and gathered my supplies to go downstairs. I heard someone coming up. Normally, I would run and hide but I didn't move a muscle. I continued going downstairs, not caring a bit if they got upset that I used the stairs the same time they did. The person going up said nothing to me and I dropped the supplies and returned to my small room, curling into a ball and closing my eyes. Sleep wouldn't come so I just shut the world out. I missed lunch and dinner. I had no desire to eat. My appetite had disappeared also in the last few days. I heard a noise on my door but I ignored it. I heard it again, louder this time and I sat up, a
"What....how.....Do I have to go through that again?""It's monthly. Like the way humans menstruate. It prepares your body for...." Whatever he wanted to say, Vivianna cut him off. "And if I don't do it this time, something happens to me?" They stayed silent and I flared. "I won't. I cannot let that man touch me. Consequences be damned. I'll die? Fine, let me die. I don't give a fuck but I'm not having sex with him""Calm down Arcelia" Vivianna tried to touch me but I moved away from her. "Don't ask me to calm down" I snapped at her and her eyes widened. I didn't feel sorry. What did they expect?"You really need to calm down Arcelia. Nobody is asking you to do anything with him. The situation between you two....." he trailed off. "You don't have to have sex with him this time," he said and my body instantly relaxed. "Then?"Why did he tell me if I didn't need to sleep with Alpha Teigen?"I wanted you to know so it won't come as a surprise to you like I said, you don't need to ha
ALPHA TEIGEN'S POVI stood outside the door, my fists clenched. I could hear and feel her pain through the damned bond. Why was she being so stubborn and not allowing me to touch her? To ease her pain. "Or you want to relieve your itch" my wolf growled in my head. It was no news that he was against my treatment of our....his mate. He wasn't wrong. I didn't come here because I cared about her pain. "Lies" he growled and I shut him out. I was also in pain too. Harder than I've ever been in my life. My cock pressing tightly against my pants made me uncomfortable. I adjusted myself and walked away from the door. It pained me to do so but I did. I could find a way to relieve myself. Any girl I ask for will be happy to warm my bed. If she wanted the pain, she could deal with it. "How is she?" Alfio jumped out suddenly, scaring me. "What the fuck?""How is she doing? I know you went there""She didn't allow me to touch her""That's not what I'm talking about Teigen. The pain, her fever.
TRIGGER WARNING‼️: ⚠️SUICIDE ATTEMPT⚠️I felt like I had been hit by a train when I finally woke up. My whole body was sore but the pain was gone. I opened my eyes and sat up. The room was empty and I didn't hear any sound. My bladder was full so I stood up to relieve myself in the bathroom. When I was finished, I washed and dried my hands and stepped into the bedroom. I took a sit by the edge of the bed and the door opened. Vivianna was smiling brightly at me. "Good morning" "Good morning" I grumbled. "What happened last night?" I asked. I remember the pain becoming so unbearable. I asked for more medicine but they were unwilling to give and Alfio was saying the pain would be severe by midnight. I was dreading it and I pleaded for more medicine. They obliged and I blacked out after that. I didn't wake up in pain or I would have remembered it. "You had a seizure" I gasped. "You had too many drugs in you. We told you it'll cause some problems""But that was the only way to stop
ALPHA TEIGEN'S POV"I've informed Bladgen and he's out of the pack" I nodded. "That's good""Are you okay?" Landon asked "Yes," I answered simply even though I was anything but okay. I was upset....confused and above all, I felt guilty. I've said it over a hundred times, I didn't care about the human girl. "Arcelia," my wolf said. I avoided calling her name. It made her seem less of a person to me. Seeing her in that condition yesterday flipped a switch in me. I hated seeing her like that. The fear that gripped me tightly as she had that seizure. "Alpha...." I looked at Landon. He was worried. "Are you sure you're okay?" He asked and I nodded. "Just busy""Are you going to the get-together with other alphas?" I shook my head. I didn't have the time for that or the energy to socialize. "You never miss it" "There's a time for everything Landon. Now is not the time for that""So what will you do about Maddox?""What about him?""He still has eyes on our land west of the border an
TRIGGER WARNING: MENTION OF SUICIDE I was surprised when I opened my eyes and found myself in the infirmary. Vivianna was sitting beside me and cleaning my clothes. She was equally surprised when I suddenly sat up. "Arcelia?""What happened""What happened?""You fucking tried to kill yourself. That is what happened? How could you Arcelia? I told you if you needed to speak to anyone, you could talk to me. Why would you try to lull yourself" she sobbed and I stared at her dumbfounded. I didn't expect anyone to be affected if I eventually died. Just needed to escape from the harsh reality that was my life. The door opened and she quickly wiped her eyes. "I came as soon as possible" Alfio breathed heavily from the door. He stared at Vivianna for a minute too long and then he shifted his gaze to me. "Arcelia...." Vivianna abruptly got up and ran out of the room while I stared open-mouthed at the space she previously occupied. "Are you okay?" I nodded. I felt okay. But that wasn't wh
He didn't sound hostile or look at me with a sneer as he said that. I never expected those words from his mouth and I never expected him to sound....so soft. He drew closer and my fingers gripped the sheets tightly. I was scared of him and what he could suddenly do. He must have figured that out because he stopped moving. "How do you feel?" My eyes bulged. How do I feel? Where was this attitude coming from? It made me wary. I didn't like it at all. It would be normal if he screamed at me and threatened me, not asking me how I felt. "Arcelia?" My stomach fluttered. This was the second time.....he was calling me by my name. Not human. It made me feel funny inside. I also didn't like it. The space was starting to feel too congested and I needed to get out of here. I jumped up immediately. "Please excuse me alpha, I'll like to leave""Why? I haven't finished speaking"Ahh. There he was. His normal self was peeking through. He was annoyed. I saw his hands move and I clasped my fingers t
"The alpha sent me here," Landon said. "Why? What for?""This" He held out a small box that was wrapped with blank wrappers and had a pink ribbon. "What is that?""A gift""Why?""He wants you to have it" he continued smiling. No way I'm taking that. "I don't want it" his smile instantly disappeared as I said that. "What? Why don't you want it?""Should I have a reason to reject a gift?""Exactly you shouldn't. The alpha carefully picked this out and wrapped it himself. Even got a few cuts" I cocked my head and stared at him in disbelief. "The thing is, he wants you to have it""He went through all that stress and sent you to deliver it?" Landon scratched behind his ear. "Well.....""I don't want it and I'm not going to take it. Goodbye," I shut the door and returned to my bed. I tried to get some sleep but I was restless. I couldn't ignore this forever. At least not until I know what he wants and why he is doing this. It was time for lunch and I wanted to join Vivianna. I had
