Chapter Eleven
I walked home, only to see the door unlocked. Panicking, I entered in a rush. Mom. That’s the only thing that was running through my brain.
trying to take deep breaths, i walked towards her room only for her sobs to scho through the hallway. i panicked slightly at hearing her quivering voice. Why was she crying? Soon I heard a voice. One I’d never forget. One I’d want to rather die than have seated in my home. rushing to the bedroom, I threw the door open, allowing it to slam against the wall. my rage intensifying as our eyes locked. It made no sense for him to be here. He had no reason to be here at all.
he sat near her bedside as moims eyes continued to water tears. just what had he done? was not tormenting me enough? did he have to torment my family too?
“What are you here?” I demanded. “What!” I yelled, my heart thumping in my chest inn anger and i sadness. Mom, startled, jumped slightly, her eyes widening at my sudden outburst.
“I came to speak to your mother.” he explained non-chalantly.
“Why would you come see her? as far as i knw there is nop business between you and i for you to pay my mother a visit.” My words dripping with venom.
“Indeed, There shouyldnt be a reason for me to visit, But you wouldnt believe me if i said i came to inquire about your well-being because you have been acting weird all day.” he said, his eyes flashing an alien emotion.
I instantly scowled at his words, who does he think he is? “Forgive my behavior alpha,” I mocked, “-but who are you to come into my house and speak of my well being, and that too especially with my mother? If you have a heart, you wouldnt be here right now.” I spat out.
“I am your alpha and i am your mate, so I do care, even if ive rejected you, the mate bond still exists. so i have no choice but to worry.” He spoke without a hint of emotion. Even though the words were not meant to have an effect on me at aoll, here i was, hurtby his words, hurt by his outward demeanor.
“Yes you are my alpha, but my mate? You lost the right to call me that the moment you uttered the words ‘reject’, or have you forgotten? and even if the mate bond is forcing your actions, wouldnt ignorimg it be in your best favour, alpha?” I asked him.
He looked like he was hurting for a split second, but hurt and him, dod not belong in the same sentence. what ight did he have to feel “Hurt”, he did not deserve that emotion. “You seem fine, i guess i was worried for nothing.” he said as he stood up, his tall frame, a hand reach away.
“Then you may leave. being in your presence is sickening and i dont want to feel your phermones or your scent. Stay away from my family and Stay away from my mother. Get out of my Lif-” i froze i felt my nausea resurfacing. Why now? i wanted to kick something. unable to hold the urge, i ran, hitting my shoulder against the wall as a sharp pain made its way upo my arm, rushing out the door and making my way to the bathroom.
I felt my breathing all as i emptied the contents of my stomach in the bathroom. breathing heavily, i felt my body weaken. This was the worst. A hand pulled my hair back bringing me back to reality. pushing away from him, I felt my back hit the bathtub. Ah, I was going to bruise today.
“Don’t Touch me.” I spat out. as i tried steadying my breathing.
feeling fine, i stood up and headed to the basin, rinsing my mouth. Turning around i came face to face with Reese’s eyes. His body stood concerned as he watched my every movement. almost as though i was going fall and break at any given chance. my mind began to contemplate telling him the truth. making him suffer and bringing him down. making him miserable in a relationship tied to me. but… I could noty do that. I couldn’t do that to mysel and I couldnt do that to my child.
“I’m-, Ihave been having food poisoning.” I blurted out. He stared at me for a moment to detect any motion of lies on my face.
Not saying anything, he continued to observe my demeanor, before sighing and simply nodding as though seeing right through me.
why did i feel as though i was about to cry? H e didnt deserve my tears. he didnt deserve my sympathy. he looked as though he hadn’t slept in days, my heart clenching at the sight of his dishvelled appearance. shaking my head slightly, i refused to let myself fall victim to the mate bond. he had already broke my heart and lost my trust. He didnt deserve me, He didnt deserve… Our child.
He opened his mouth as though about to say something before holding back and closing his mouth. he put on a small smile, before speaking up, “Well then, I’ll be taking my leave now.” he said as he walked out of the bathroom.
I heard the front door close as I bent down. *I hope I’m doing the right thing*.
Sighing, I walked out of the bathroom and into mom’s room with a scowl on my face.
“How could you let him in?” I asked her, my heart aching.
She smild sadly as she looked my way, her eyes holding a sorrowful look. He probablysaid something.
“Why are you smiling as though you’re aboput to cry?” i queestioned with a tremble in my voice. “What did he say mom?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
She shook her head at me, “I wish you’d bpoth try to understand each other..” she said making me laugh out at her words. “Honey, know, he means well but is doing it in the wrong way, he just wants-” I cut her off.
“Understand? Mean well? Mom, he hurt me. He didnt even think twice before doing so. what more is there to understand? The least he couldve done if her wanted me to “understand” was for him to talk to me, but what had he done? he humiliated me.” I said as the tears started rolling.
Wiping away my pathetic stature and feelings, I simply turned to her, “Mom, if you love me and you don’t want me to suffer, don’t ever see him again. Please.” I requested. “I have work, ill see you soon.” I said making my way out of her bedroom, before she could answer.
I got ready and walked out before saying goodbye to mom. I arrived at the house, my mind drifting slowly, only to be pushed down on the floor by one of Lillian’s followers bringing me back to reality. Or should I say the “Luna’s” followers? This made no sense whatsoever.
Soon a scream was heard. I swear if you were in Antarctica, you could hear it. Or even the ice three would Crack or better shatter into trillions of pieces.
“What have you done to my mate?!?” she screamed. Now I was very confused.
