Chapter Twenty one: It Is Not Worth The Effort

Neerah Come to think of it, the day she returned, she looked weak and sick in all honesty. Perhaps it was the reason that Alpha Cuan was angry that Chase was shouting at her. It was the scene I saw when I came down for a walk. Those terrible days afterward when I nurse my broken heart, it was all too familiar how the process works. Your loved ones disappoint you once again, and you have to eat up your ridiculous expectations and make peace with the fact that you don't mean as much to them as they do to you. Then you must control your emotions, make peace with the fact that they would fade away with time. That it's okay to be hurt. But it's also okay to have unreciprocated feelings.It didn't matter that it felt like life or death right now. It would pass. i just had to hang in there.The days I started to go to school were very boring. I went to find Rayah, as the Alpha had suggested. But then she refused to see me. I was chased out of the room as if I did something wrong. She s

Chapter Twenty Two: Not One Of Them

Neerah“You are not one of us. Yet you dared to hit Fero” Rayah declares with a chilling intensity. Suddenly, I can hear animalistic growls from both Nina and Rayah as they didn't technically shift. But you can just tell that they are so close to shifting. Are they going to attack me?!I regret all the reading I have done these past few weeks. I wouldn't have known that since I didn't officially take an oath, I was not entitled to anyone's protection.Would they kill me for punching Fero? Isn't that a little too extreme!I started to step back, so scared that Rayah would use the opportunity to get rid of me. Even if Alpha Cuan is not happy with the outcome, as the leader of his pack, he couldn't choose my side over his own pack members. It wouldn't make a lot of sense.Not that I think he would choose my side anyways.The moment Nina jumps, I know she would shift in that intimidating manner I have come to realize that werewolves prefer in a fight. Yes. I am super intimidated.I do

Chapter Twenty Three: Too Close

NeerahWhen I appear in front of his office, my hands were sweaty and they shook with the fear of rejection.I gathered all my courage and knocked on the door.“Neerah, come in” he states from within.I open the door, trying to even my breathing before going in. This guy would probably have a whiplash watching me change from sad to happy in a flash. But damn if I didn't achieve it!I smile brightly, deleting the past few weeks from my memory as I said “Alpha! Good day!” He regards me with a serious look. But nothing would extinguish the smoky depth of his beautiful beautiful eyes… I can also see curiosity in them now.I am beginning to find out that it is so rare to read his gaze fully. Seeing him let his guard down enough for me to read that curiosity makes my heart skip a beat. Did he like my smile or something?Okay, focus! Don't get distracted. I reprimand myself. “Can we talk for a moment please?” I ask with a hesitant smile.He gestured to the chair in front of his desk wordl

Chapter Twenty Four: Instinct

Neerah“You know, I love reading! Can I read books here in your office?” I ask, trying to hide my still extremely powerfully beating heart. God! He cannot hear it can he?!I steal a look at his direction. I see a small smile appear at the corner of his lips and he shrugs. “Suit yourself” he agrees.“I noticed that maids do not enter your bedroom. Who does the cleaning?” I ask, cringing inwardly at how I must have sounded. i hope he doesn't think that I am hinting at anything else.I steal another look and foubd out that he has his head tilted to the side and I swear his grey eyes sharpened even more. “So?” Is all he said.“So, can I be the one to clean it for you? I worked as a nanny before. I clean their house sometimes when they let me stay over for the night” I explain. “a human monster, a house girl and nanny?” He says it as if pondering it over. I cant decipher the layers to his tone though. “Oh wow! That's me in one sentence!” I admit. And my heart beat slower again. My fraye

Chapter Twenty Five: In The World Of Dreams

Neerah When Rayah comes to stand in front of me, I am so close to laughing. I can feel her outrage from miles away!“Baby, I am feeling sick today” she smoothly plants herself in front of him and she means to lean into him but he steps back with a blank look on his face. “You should rest” he states in a flat tone. “Can you hold my hand until I fall asleep? I miss your care sweetheart" she practically melts in front of him in an effort to get his full attention. But I think that the way her chest is positioned is also a clue to what she really wanted to do. He looks at me for a second or two and I just raised a brow as if to ask ‘what will you do?’ He goes around her to stand next to me and he just says quietly ‘we had a lot in the past. But I am married now. Neerah is my wife. It's not officially announced so keep it a secret will you?” He drops the bomb.My, is it loud!I am so proud of him! I never thought he could come through for me. I felt really emotional.When he took my

Chapter Twenty Six: The Hope...

NeerahIn my dreams, jumping off the cliff was terrifying. I awoke with a scream. But there is no one in the room and it took me a while to realize that I am in Alpha Cuan's room. Yet I am not lying on the floor. I am lying on his King Sized bed!I love how extra soft everything is around me. In the absence of any real comfort, it was a good substitute. That's what I told myself when I gathered it around me and tried to look at the positive side of it all.In my dream, my mom did not blame me for anything big really. This time, she did not kill me herself and claimed hat I should have died instead of her or that I was the one who killed her…Another good point to be taken home is the fact that lying on this bed means that Alpha Cuan is being generous again. He must have broken his own rule to get me comfortable sometime during the night.My mind comes back to his little moment with Rayah and I sigh to myself. Tomorrow is going to be a long day indeed!So the next morning, its quit

Chapter Twenty Seven: Mixed Signals

He did not reply. Instead, he comes to squat next to me, picking up all the books I scattered around me. Then he goes to put them back in their places.My eyes followed him everywhere, feeling kind of lonely just staring at him. Sometimes, it feels as if he is the one person who brings out my starving lonely side. “Alright. Let's go” he announced, pulling me to a standing position. “Where are we going?” I ask.“to Lunch” he declares strictly. I frown, pulling my hands away. “I am not hungry” I lied. It just suddenly hurt that he never cared that Rayah has been starving me. But today when I am going to get my ass kicked, he wants to take me to lunch? No thank you!“You dont have a choice though. lets go” he warns. “I am not hungry” I repeat with a brooding air, pulling my lips in a brooding pout before turning away to put some distance between us.“How would you like to be carried into a fancy restaurant? I daresay we will make local news” he suggests.It felt like a sweet threat t

Chapter Twenty Eight: The Bitter Taste

Neerah“I am sorry. I don't know what came over me! Shit!” He apologised!It's like pouring cold water over my feverish state! It felt like a surprise zombie attack. I went from a hundred degrees to zero flat. I am so outraged! He is playing pingpong with my emptions! There is self pity, disgust and a number of other emotions I didn't wish to delve into right now. I closed my eyes, feeling a blanket of negative energy wrap around me like vice. It feels like emotional abuse. I am the one who let it happen to me. No one else. Not even the perpetrator of my doom.We did not have lunch that day. But he still bought me food to take ho9me.I want to shout at him that I do not need his money or his damn food. What I need most is for him to stop giving me hope! I need for him to choose if he was the hero in my story, or the damn villain!I wouldn't speak to him again because I am so emotional. Honestly? I want to hate him too but I know know that I could not. It feels physically impossible.

Chapter Twenty Nine: Oh God, Not for Grades!

It was only the next day when I found out that they both went for Alpha June’s wedding. It's a destination wedding in Hawaii, and they would be spending an entire week over there. I didn't think it was possible to feel more. But I did. And I awoke the next day with a fresh perspective. For the first time, I went to school like any other person.

Chapter Thirty: A Lycan Attack

Alpha Cuan“When is the flight?” Rayah asks with a bright smile. We are both in a car heading to the airport with Chase as out driver.“In an hour's time” is all I said. We reached the airport and Rayah opens the door to exit. She is brimming with excitement. I am sire it feels good to have one over June. And maybe, over Neerah as well.Too bad it was not going to happen. It takes her a moment to realize that I haven't come out of the car yet and Chase is still sitting inside the car and he made no move to go out as well.“aren't You coming out?” She asks, looking like she realized exactly what is happening but that she is hoping it is not true.“No” I reply succinctly. “you shall go to Alpha June’s wedding on my behalf Rayah. You will meet my mom over there. Send my regard” I explain. Her mood hits zero instantly. Her expression freezes over with frost. But She had to look away to avoid coming off too strong. I am still her Alpha!I feel bad about earlier today. I know that Neera
