Chapter 20

Mica

It was painful, seeing how that vampire killed humans. I remember how my mother died and that my anger grew towards them. They are really a leech who doesn’t care about others as long as they satisfy themselves. I opened my eyes and I could feel something on my hand, so I looked at it only to find the freak alpha holding it as he sleeps. I’m sure that it was uncomfortable for him to sleep that way and I feel sad for him, but no. I shouldn’t feel that way, he’s both a wolf and a vampire. So, I took my hand back.

The freak alpha woke up and looked at me so I glared at him, telling him that I didn’t like to see him. He just shrugged his shoulders and looked at the couch and I noticed that Hera was there. “Get up now, I know you’re awake.” the freak alpha said, so she got up and came closer, smiling. Why the hell is she smiling? They’re both crazy. Does it run in the family?

“Good morning, Mica. How are you feeling?” She asked, smiling after she laughed. What’s so funny? I was pissed, so I didn’t answer. After what I saw, I don’t think I’m in for a joke.

“I am going to leave. I still need to go to the Meadow Pack.” the freak alpha told Hera. He didn’t even look at me, which made me even angrier. Just what is wrong with me? Why am I feeling this way?

“Are you feeling hungry? I can get you anything.” Hera said after her brother left.

“No, I’m fine.”

“Why are you always like that? Can’t you try to be comfortable with me? I really like you, and I hope you did too. I have no ill intentions towards you and maybe our kind was the reason your parents died, but it wasn’t me or Aziz,” she said in a low voice.

I know that, but I just can’t. I like her, whether I admit it or not. But how can I totally accept her when I feel like I am disregarding my parents' death if I do that? It feels good when she’s around trying to be friendly and there’s something in me that wants to accept her. How can someone sweet like her belong to the species that I hated most?

“It’s fine to feel that way, you know. Getting mad at our kind. I would definitely feel the same if I were you. But I don’t think that I am going to close my heart to everyone who wants to be with me, to care for me and to love me. No matter what happens, you deserve to be happy and to be around people whom you can treat as family.”

“I tried that, but it didn't go well,” I said and remembered my stepfather and everything he did to me. I thought, after my mother died, he would be the one who would be there for me. Who will treat me as his family, as his daughter? But it never happened. He was evil and I hated my parents for leaving me because of him. I’m unreasonable, I know.

“Mica, I understand how you feel. Believe me. If there’s anything that I could do to lessen the pain that they inflicted on you, I will gladly do it. I can’t turn back time and make you avoid what has happened, but I can be here for you now and in the future.”

“Just let me be, Hera,” I said and I hoped that she would understand that I couldn’t. I had been this way for a long time. Surely, for others, they may think that I have been holding a grudge this long, but they are all I’ve got and nothing was left when they left. No, when the wolf and vampire took them from me. “Just so you know, I am really mad at your kind, but I will not deny the fact that Lottie and Cane have been really good to me, even if I had my reservations about communicating with them.”

“I hope that you will start to open up to me and let me become your friend. I really love to be with you because I feel comfortable around you.” she replied, “I will just get you your food.” she said and got up from the chair that the freak alpha was sitting on before he left.

The doctor came after I had my breakfast and I think he was respectful to me and I don’t know why. He seemed scared or something. He just told me that I was fine and my vitals were all normal. I know that, even without him telling me, because I know my own body more than anyone.

Hera helped me get back to my room and left. She must be feeling hurt because of what I had told her, but at least she won’t be around and annoy me, right? Days had passed and even though I was back at my work in the pack house, I still felt at peace since no one was talking to me. Literally no one.

“Hey, did you know?” one of the omega said to the other,

“What?”

“Sofia found her mate,”

“Really?” the other asked excitedly. Sofia is an omega who was assigned to do the laundry with 4 others. “She’s very lucky.”

“What do you mean by lucky? She has been suffering from severe pain in her chest ever since she found out about it.”

“What do you mean? Did her mate bang another she-wolf knowing she was his?”

“Yes, and when she confronted the warrior, he rejected her.”

“So that’s the reason why she’s not well? Because of the rejection and the banging?” because I got curious, I couldn’t help but ask them.

“What do you mean pain in her chest and you know that her mate was banging another woman?” The two looked at me, shocked. It was because I never talked to them. Well, they aren't hostile to me, but maybe because I wasn’t talking to them, they didn’t talk to me either.

“When a wolf finds his or her mate, none of them should get intimate with other males or females because the other one will be able to know it.”

“How?”

“It will be very painful for the person who is loyal to his or her mate. In Sofia’s case, her mate fu** another wolf, so she suffered from severe pain in her chest. Many have said that it was very painful that you wanted to take your heart out,” they explained.

“What are you discussing?” the voice of the freak alpha’s beta echoed in the kitchen. The two omegas were startled, but not me.

“Mica asked about the mate bond.” the one who answered me replied. “I just told her what the warrior did to Sofia,” she added.

“Go back to your work,” the beta said. But I still had questions so I stopped them,

“Wait!” I said and they both looked at me.

“They have work to do and so do you,” the beta said, but I just ignored him and looked at the omegas.

“How did the warrior reject Sofia?” they looked at me and then at the beta,

“You have to get back to your wo—”

“Shut up!” I told him and his eyes widened. I don’t know but he seemed shocked and so were the two omegas. “Now, tell me, how did that warrior reject Sofia?” I asked again.

“What do you mean, how?”

“What did the warrior say when he rejected her?” I asked again and I had a feeling that someone was stopping them from answering and it pissed me off. Because I am human, I had no power over them, but I wanted to know how, so I asked again, this time, full of authority. “Answer me!” I said and they looked shocked again.

“It’s like this, I then said his name, reject you, then he would say Sofia’s name as my mate.”

“Just like that?” I asked and they nodded. “What will happen next?”

“The mate bond will be broken.”

“As in?” I asked again and they were about to answer when the freak alpha came.

“Don’t answer her,” he said, and I was furious. He’s getting on my nerves.
