Chapter 12

Mica

I couldn’t do anything but to do as he said. I hate him, I really hate him. No matter what, I am never going to accept him. After we talked that day, when I felt myself getting weak, I didn't want to but I couldn’t help but think of him.

“When are you going to finish doing that?” one of the omegas in the kitchen asked arrogantly. I just ignored her since I didn’t want to talk to anyone and continue washing the dishes. The breakfast had just finished and there were a total of 50 wolves staying in the pack house including this omega who started to think highly of herself because I am a human. Because I ignored her, I received a slap from her. I balled my fist and tried to control my feelings. I want to get even, but if I did, Aziz would surely punish me. He didn’t want me fighting his pack members which this bitch was taking advantage of.

I continued washing the dishes and completely ignored her. What do I expect from their kind? For someone that killed my father. But she didn’t want to stop because she grabbed me by my hair and pulled it, “You good for nothing human, how dare you ignore me?” she asked angrily. It was painful but I still ignored her. I suffered more than what she was doing from my stepfather.

“Is there a problem here?” I heard Carter’s voice. Yeah after a month in the pack, I already know their voices so I could tell whoever they are just by hearing them speak. The bitch let go of my hair so I continued washing the dishes.

“Nothing beta, I was just giving this human a lesson,” she replied,

“Is that true?” Carter asked. I am not looking at him so I don’t know that he was already talking to me.

“Mica, is that true?” he asked again, calling me by my name. I smirked internally because he was acting stupid. He was there the whole time and he still asked me whether the bitch was telling the truth or not?

I didn’t answer and pretended that I didn’t hear him and continued what I was doing. “Leave her alone or you will be punished,” Carter said before I heard his footsteps leaving the kitchen. I don’t know who he was talking to but I guess he was referring to me. Punishment was supposed to be a thing of the past for me since I already left my stepfather. Just when I thought that I was free, I met that freak and everything crumbled.

The task in the pack house was never-ending. From cleaning to laundry and everything. Why the hell can't they wash their own clothes? Even their beds, why do I need to do that for them when they could do it themselves?

After washing the dishes, I went to the backyard and started to water the plants. This is the only thing that I like about the pack. I get to relax every time I do this every morning. There were flowers and plants which we harvest whenever we need to season the food.

“You’re here,” Hera said. She has not changed a bit. Always very welcoming to me. But that doesn’t mean that I had to do the same. I talked to her, it was hard not to. It was as if she always knew what I was thinking or had in mind. “Do you like it here so much?” she asked,

“Better than seeing those who I don’t want to see,” I replied not glancing at her and continued to water the plants. I noticed that some needed to be pruned so I took a shear and did it.

“Why don’t you talk to Aziz?”

“What would I tell him?”

“To stop this nonsense.”

“What nonsense?”

“You know what I am talking about.”

“I am a human that holds no value for him and the others. I don’t have the right to make any request. I don’t even know why I was here. I started to feel happy when I thought I finally got out of my stepfather’s abuse. I met Cane and Lottie and was happy that they were not the kind of wolf that I had in mind. But I regret coming there. Because I met your brother. I should have just stayed with my evil stepfather. At least I know that I could hurt him, or them when I tried to fight back. Unlike here, I’m the weakest. Even those that were no different from a maid felt like they were the most powerful when they dealt with me. Pathetic!”

Then I felt her come close and faced me, “What happened to your face?” she asked, shocked. But I didn’t reply and shoved her hands away. I don’t want to and I don't need her pity. “Mica, tell me, who did this to you?” she asked.

“I did it to myself,” I replied without looking at her. “And please leave, I love this place so please give me peace when I am here. The rest of the pack is a sore eye for me, this is the only place that I could find myself in solace.” I added before I felt her walking away. I sighed and continued working.

I’m almost done pruning when Reeves, the beta, comes to me. I rolled my eyes when he faced me and said, “Alpha wants to see you.” Just what the hell did he want now?

Because I am only a human, I had to follow. I was about to walk when I felt it again, the excruciating pain. I stopped and screamed holding my heart, I almost fell on the ground but I managed to hold on to the bench. “Ahhhh….”

“What’s wrong?” Reeves asked worriedly. He tried to hold me but I pushed him. I didn’t want to be touched by anyone. I was on my knees and rubbing my chest. I want to take out my heart so I won't be able to feel it.

“What’s going on?” Hera asked after she rushed with Carter behind her. Reeves looked at her as if said something to her because the worry on her face changed. She looks furious and I don’t know why. Did I do something wrong? “When did you start feeling this?” she asked but I never answered. It started about 2 weeks ago, it was unbearable and I tried not to scream because I didn’t want anyone to know about this. Maybe I already have a heart problem and will die soon.

“Take her to her room,” I heard her tell Reeves. I want to protest but the pain prevents me from doing so. I was about to dig my nails on my chest but she stopped me. But I want to so the pain will go away. “Stay with her in her room and I am going to see Aziz,” she said and left us while the beta and Carter brought me to my room.
