Chapter 4
- Ariel
- I have been laying in this bed the whole night hoping that when morning comes I will be better, but no. I can barely move and the creatures in me are still asleep.
- Where is my mate? I wonder looking around the empty room.
- His scent is so faint meaning he just dropped me and left. Maybe he's busy.
- The room I was brought in is not bad, when we got here, I was asleep so I didn't get the chance to observe the environment.
- It is bigger unlike mine at my pack, the walls are white and bare, so plain if you ask me.
- Two doors are on my right which am assuming lead to the bathroom and the closet.
- There are two huge windows on my other side. The clear curtains makes the sun illuminate the room unhindered.
- The bed is positioned in the middle of the room and nothing else.
- So lonely.
- A soft knock on the door alerts me and I whisper a come, thanking the goddess my voice is finally back.
- A middle-aged woman walks in with a tray holding breakfast in her hand.
- She's quite tall, 5'7 I presume. She has short blonde hair, and dull grey eyes. She looks tired.
- Assessing the food , nothing piques my interest. Right now I need blood the most to wake up Lucile my vamp, and maybe Celine will follow suit.
- My mate should know about this.
- "Hey luna, am here to attend to you," the woman says timidly bowing and no doubt she's an omega.
- My pack didn't have such status and we treated each other as a family, like it should be. But here, am yet to learn their ways. I pray the rumours about mate aren't true.
- "Call me Ariel please, no need for formalities" I argue my voice coming out horse, it's better than being mute actually.
- "Alpha will kill me if I do that" she mutters walking towards me.
- I start feeling self-conscious because I haven't taken shower for four days, and my mouth is surely stinking.
- "Please help me to the bathroom" I whisper trying to get myself up, my body is shaky with no ounce of energy in my system.
- Whatever that man did, he deserves an accolade, I will remember that when settling the scores.
- "I will select some clothes for you first," she says heading to the closet. A few minutes later, she comes back with black shorts and a matching sweatshirt.
- They brought my clothes and that's a relief.
- "Let's go" she mumbles supporting me up and I almost fall back when my weak limbs touch the floor.
- The woman looks at me pathetically. She must be wondering which hole I crawled from.
- "Thank you" I whisper greatly and I hope she understands how thankful I am.
- She might be an omega, but she's still a person regardless, I hate packs that treat each other according to rank.
- "It's my duty luna" she asserts not even once looking into my eyes.
- A scent catches my attention and I inhale deeply, a slight smile stretching on my lips at the thought of seeing him again.
- "Mate" my wolf whispers.
- "So the so-called hybrid is so weak to help herself to the bathroom ?" his voice stops us in our tracks.
- My eyes snap to the breathtaking male entering the room, and I stare at him surprised at his statement.
- I thought we were okay, what's gotten into him?
- Are the rumours true?
- A wolf known by every pack for how ruthless and selfish he is. What makes me think a woman will change that? just because his wolf claims her as his mate?
- He moves to stand in front of us, and stares at me like am some piece of trash under his shoe, he scoffs.
- I could have marvelled at how good he looked but am not allowed to.
- "You are so pathetic " he scrunches his face in disgust. His eyes hold nothing but hatred. Why does he hate me?
- I feel my eyes tear up but I hold it in, I have to be strong.
- "Don't expect you'll be getting any blood in my pack because I abhor every blood-sucking creature" he sneers while I just gaze at him dumbfounded.
- That sounded like a stab to my heart. 'He hates us' Celine whimpers out.
- I didn't do anything wrong and it's okay if hates me. I just won't stay in a place am being treated like trash. As soon as I get better am getting the hell out of this godforsaken place.
- If he rejects me I will have to move on. No one can reject an alpha wolf, only they have the authority to reject a mate they don't want.
- I will rather be hurt once than living with this kind of person. Even if it hurts so much.
- "Also remember you are just like any other person in this pack, and this omega here , will be your maid henceforth," he says gesturing to the woman holding me distastefully.
- He has no respect for the elderly too, goddess!
- He looks at us one last time before leaving and I sigh sadly.
- I always knew I didn't have a mate, but having one who doesn't want you it's the same thing. Only that this breaks my heart a lot.
- Why do I have to be this unlucky?
- "Sorry about that luna" the woman beside me whispers remorsefuly.
- "It's okay, what is your name?" I mumble holding back the tears threatening to roll down my eyes and we resume walking.
- "I am Agatha luna" I have no strength of correcting her again, maybe this pack values ranks that much, or they fear ranks.
- She opens the large bathroom door and I look around amazed by the beauty the room beholds, it's better than mine.
- The spacious bathtub is one thing I didn't have at home, too bad I won't be here for long to enjoy it's service.
- "What are your preferences? " she asks respectfully. No doubt, I need to soak myself for hours if possible. Just a mere shower won't do justice to my skin.
- "Prepare the bath please" She helps me on the counter and starts moving to add soap and fragrance to the warm water that I requested.
- Meanwhile, I take the liberty of brushing my teeth. I never knew how much the simple task was a struggle until this moment.
- I know nudity to our kind is not a big deal but I can't help but blush when she starts undressing me.
- As soon as I enter the bathtub, a searing pain runs through my stomach before settling to my heart.
- I scream my lungs out, but it only worsens the situation because it made the little I had vanish.
- My breaths start coming out in pants, air suddenly leaving my weak body as bruises forms on my lower abdomen. I can't handle it.
- My eyes begin give up and before I succumb to the darkness, only one thought crosses my mind.
- My mate is making love to someone else.
