Chapter 10

Mica

“Is that how you think of me?” He asked

“Are you not? Have you not been into any women before until now? Don’t take me for a fool. I had been in the diner long enough. I heard them talking about how they get under each other's shirts. How alpha’s bedded women, even their own pack members. So don’t talk to me as if you’re not the same.” I told him. It was harsh, yes. But who cares? I didn’t want him even if my body was aching to be with him. But no, I am not going to let that happen so I had to leave this place.

“You don’t know me, woman, and just to let you know, I am not going to let you talk back at me,” he replied and I know that he was angry.

“I know. Typical Alpha. That’s how you are, always think highly of yourselves. Never think about the others and you’re no different.” I replied and then I saw his eyes turn red again. “Oh, I noticed that your eyes turned red. So, aside from being a wolf, you are also a vampire. What a coincidence, you are both the species that I hated the most.” I added and I heard him growl.

“I don’t care whether you hate me or not. That doesn’t change the fact that you’re not going to get out of this pack,” he replied angrily and I didn’t like it. Because of that I approached him and hit him as hard as I could. But he was like a wall that I couldn't move. He just let me hurt him, that is if I really inflicted some pain on him and didn’t even try to stop me. Maybe he thought that I was so weak that I couldn’t hurt him a bit.

“I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!” I said while I continued hitting him. He was now standing and was taking all of it as he gritted his teeth. I know because I saw his jaw hardened.

“Done already?” he asked emotionlessly when I stopped. I glared at him and replied,

“I hate you. I am going to find a way to leave you no matter what. No matter how many times you catch me, I am going to do it until you are totally out of my sight and my life. I swear, I am never ever going to accept you or acknowledge you and will continually deny your claim. Even in my next life and if I ended up being your mate again, I will still not accept you. I reject you!” Without giving him another glance, I walked out of his office and went back to the room where Hera told me to stay.

On my way to the third floor, I met the beta rushing but he just passed me. Coming next was Hera and they were both going to the office where I came from. I ignored them and went to my room. I don't care about them and I shouldn’t feel anything for them either. I shouldn’t even care about them.

The following day, I never saw him. Even Hera. She didn’t come to me and didn’t bother checking me either. Since yesterday, I have not eaten anything at all. I never left my room and no one came to send me food just like when I was in the dungeon.

I feel pain within me, I don’t know where but I felt it. It started right after I said those words to that freak alpha and as the hours passed, I felt weaker. Maybe because I was feeling hungry since my last meal was yesterday morning when Hera woke me up to eat and invited me to stay here in the pack house.

I went to the corner of my room and sat there until I fell asleep hoping that I would be able to see my parents again. My loving parents who had taken care of me and loved me unconditionally. I never felt rejected even if I lacked a lot of things because I felt how much they love me. Just like before, I saw them in my dreams. But it was always the time when they left me.

The room was dark after I opened my eyes. I don’t know what time or day it is, just like the last time I remembered, I still feel weak. I remembered when I was all by myself, I was fine and was just getting by without worry. Shall I get up now? But I don’t think I can. So I decided to do what I can do at this moment, and that is to close my eyes.

‘Mica!’ I heard a voice calling me,

‘Mica, dear!’ I smiled when I heard it again. That’s what Mom and Dad called me. I tried to open my eyes and after a few tries, I did it. Mom and Dad’s face was right before me, smiling. It was as though they were both still alive.

I raised my hand and reached for them, “I'm coming, mom, dad.” I told them and got up. I raised my hand and reached for them as I ran after them. “Mom! Dad! I’m coming!”

‘Not yet, dear. Please be strong and live the life we want for you.’ It was Dad.

“But I want to come to you now, it’s sad here and I missed you so much,” I said crying.

‘Not yet. For now, you have to do what you have to do. Don’t let my life I threw away so that you could live.’ Mom said and I cried. Is that what I was doing now? I tried to live but they are no longer here. They are the reason for my living.

“No Mom, I am coming now with you,” I said and ran after them, but I noticed that the more I ran to them, the more that they seemed so far.

‘In time dear. For now, do what you have to do and be what you need to become.’ Dad said and then they started to fade until I never saw them anymore.

“Moommmm… Daadddd….” I screamed.

“Shit! Carter, get the car.” I heard a voice and I felt like I was being lifted until nothing. My consciousness was totally out and I am back in the darkness where I belong.
