CHAPTER 14

My eyes widened, my hands subconsciously moving to touch my rib, where the dagger had pierced. It didn't feel like there were any scars. Then I did another crazy thing, I pulled up the top I was wearing, not caring that I wasn't wearing any other thing below the top.

I heard Beta Kaiden hiss, but that wasn't what I was bothered about, he could look at me for all I care. I couldn't see it very well, so I put down the dress, pulling Beta Kaiden along, “Where's my chamber, can I get a mirror right now?” 

“Oh yes, your chamber. There's one there,” He said, jogging to keep up with my speed. But it wasn't necessary because soon he was in the lead and I was panting for breath. 

“What a cursed wolf I am! I'm not asking to run faster than him, just keeping up is good enough,” I mumbled under my breath but Beta Kaiden must have heard me as he came to a halt.

Suddenly, he scooped me up in his hands and started running this time. Soon we were out of whatever facility we were in previously, along some paths and then in the pack house. 

There were no conversations along the way, and I wasn't sure I'd have paid any attention anyways, not when my focus was on what exactly was happening to me. 

‘Was an Omega's body that weak or this was something else. How could a dagger put me out for over a month?’

I didn't realize when we arrived until Beta Kaiden put me down in front of a door. He knocked on the door softly, there were a few noises coming from the room but after a while, the door opened to reveal a young girl. 

Her mouth dropped when she saw Beta Kaiden, her kneel found a mind of its own dropped to the ground. But Beta Kaiden with a flickering gaze, ignored her, side stepping into the room, without a word or even acknowledgement.

The lady didn't turn back, rather she remained there like he didn't just ignore her and walk past her. I looked up to see Beta Kaiden's face, his lips were pursed tightly, his jaws clenched, and his hands were balled into fists.

‘Now what the fuck was going on here, and between this two?’ I thought, but I didn't worry long enough about it, choosing not to poke my nose in issues that were not mine to worry about in the first place. 

The room was huge, but littered. Two giant beds stood on opposite ends. Clothes and books were scattered everywhere, and the two giant beds looked like they had been slept in for weeks. I spotted a mirror on a nearby dresser and made a beeline for it, my heart racing with anxiety.

As I approached the mirror, I could feel Beta Kaiden's eyes on me, but I didn't turn around. I was too focused on what I might see. I stopped in front of the mirror and gazed at my reflection.

The person staring back at me was not any stranger than before. Except for my eyes which looked different, it was no longer the normal shade of brown but had now changed to gray. And my skin was smoother but in all, there were no scars from the dagger wound but there was something there, an X mark. 

I glanced at Beta Kaiden once again, but he was trying not to look at my body. Under his gaze, I pulled off the clothes, going nude, as I leaned forward to the mirror with my ass shooting out behind me. There was another X mark just above my chest, the exact same point where Rowan stabbed me. 

I slowly exhaled, like I had been holding my breath for a long while, turning towards Beta Kaiden, whose eyes shamelessly trailed my body. “Can I see the dagger?”
