Chapter 32
** Still Chaos’ P.O.V**
I stood under the full blast of my shower still fully clothed and allowed it to rain all over me. I leaned my head against the wall in my new shower and watched as the water washed the blood of my mate off my body. The ass whooping was never part of my plan. But I felt the urge when he didn’t show any sign of remorse or repentance.
That hurt more than knowing he cheated on me. I felt the stinging behind my eyes and I couldn’t help it when they started rushing down my face. Raw pain and tears rocked my body as I let it all out. I fell on my knees and let it all out. The pain, the rejection, the disappointment, the agony, my anger and the deceiving hope I had felt. I cried and cried till all that was left was sniffles and even then, I couldn’t stop.
No matter how nonchalant I acted back there, he was still my mate and the bond joining us was still vibrant as the day it was made. Fresh tears trailed down my face as I thought about what my life could have been because this isn’t the life I wanted. For all the shit I have been through in my life, I had hoped that finding my mate would have brought a breath of fresh air into my life.
But that had been my greatest mistake. Having too much hope and I swear on my life that it would never happen again. This pain that would never go away will be a constant reminder of what my life will always be like. I was so lost in my grief that I did not realize that I was not alone anymore.
I was broken out of my trance when I felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around my body. I looked up and even through my blurry vision, I could make out Lucas’s blank face.
“Your hair and clothes are getting wet” I said hoarsely
“And your face is wet little sis” he retorted back softly
I chuckled softly before relaxing in his hold. We stayed like that for I don’t know how long before Lucas reached up to turn off the shower. I watched amusingly as he shivered whiles I sat there feeling nothing. I was already cold inside out and a little cold water makes no difference.
“My balls are fucking freezing…” Lucas spat out
I burst into laughter as he quickly turned on the hot water on full blast before sighing in relief when it came down on him, all the while glaring at me. I couldn’t stop laughing because his face was just comical. He looked so cute with that glare on his face. To anybody else it might have made them shit their pants but to me, nah he looked like a cute kitten.
I laughed till he couldn’t hold his glare anymore before flashing me a soft smile and rolling his eyes at me. He stayed under the hot shower till he was certain his balls won’t freeze before turning it off. He lifted me up into his arms and took me into my walk-in closet. All wet and dripping.
After throwing me a towel, he walked out of the closet and shutting the door firmly behind him. I quickly peeled off the wet clothes off my body before throwing them into a hamper in the corner. I am sure I will never wear those clothes ever again. Too many memories. They are impossible to forget and I didn’t need constant reminders. I walk out of my closet to find Kiara waiting on my bed with a file in her hand.
“What have you got there?” I asked whiles drying my hair
“Report on the new recruits for your training program and we need to survey the house and the yard around it as well as the training center so, we can know how to schedule patrol on this part and then notify the people on the list about the time training starts” Kiara responded in a business-like tone
“Wow… I’m glad I’m making you my beta”
“Really? I mean you couldn’t have chosen anyone better than me. Besides I would have killed anyone who thought the beta position was theirs.”
“I know bitch. I know”
“Anyway… finish and meet me downstairs. I will go gather the people and we will wait outside in the yard”
“Okay… and thanks Kiara”
“Anytime Cousin. Just know that I am here for you and I will always be here with you”
“I know. Now go! I will be there in like a minute or two”
I threw myself on the bed after Kiara exited the room with a sigh. I knew what she was trying to do and I couldn’t be more grateful. I decided not to let her efforts be in vain so I fixed myself and headed downstairs to the yard where I took in the serene atmosphere as I waited for the new recruits to arrive. I was enjoying my minutes of comfort when voices evaded them.
I raised my head and set my gaze towards my fenced yard and smiled when I saw the person leading the group of folks walking into the yard.
Cindy.
“Somehow I knew you would join” I said teasingly when our gazes met
“Well… um if you want me to leave, I would leave Luna” she replied timidly
“No… actually I am glad you are here. You have skills that will be put into better use through this training and after and none of that Luna shit. It’s Alpha or just Chaos”
I heard gasp resonate through the crowd and I chuckled bitterly. They were in for a rude awakening because I was going to tell them the bitter truth. They would know that their alpha was not the person he always portrayed himself to be.
“Okay listen up everyone. First you are in my yard. And the building behind you all is my new home in which you are all welcome into. I prefer to be called Alpha too because I and your alpha are technically no more together because he’s cheating on me and chose a pussy over me. He wants another and I am not going to force myself on him. He mated with me because of the good of this pack and so did I. I am still here because of this pack and he is not dead because of this pack. Because I would kill him; if only killing him was not impossible.
Secondly, I want none of you to treat him differently or disrespectfully. He is still your alpha. Treat him like one. The rest of the pack doesn’t need to know. I am telling you all this because there will be no secrets whatsoever between us. Everything is going to out in the open from here on out. Thirdly, since I trust none of the people on your alpha’s high ranked team, I have decided to pick my own beta, gamma and head warrior.
I already have a beta. My cousin Kiara Khorne but I am yet to pick my gamma and head warrior. Honestly it can be any of you. Moving on to training, I am pleased to announce that we will be starting tomorrow morning. And before you all leave here, I need you all to swear that everything that goes on here, never reaches the outside ear”
“We solemnly swear on our lives alpha” they chorused
“Good” I said before turning to face Kiara “how many are they in total?”
“A hundred…and all females”
“Good… we will evaluate them tomorrow before the real fun begins”
Turning back to the crowd, I smiled softly before speaking,
“Any questions?”
As expectedly, Cindy among many others put up their hands.
“You first Cindy”
“What happened to your hair?”
“Betrayal and heartache happened to it” I answered curtly
“How did you find out that the alpha was cheating on you?” someone asked from the crowd
“I walked in on them but they didn’t even realize I was there” I replied smugly
“How?” another person asked with confusion laced in her tone
“I have so many abilities that you would come to know in the cause of your training”
“A wolf with abilities? Now that is unheard off” another said
“Well I am part wolf. My father wasn’t a wolf. My father is King Chaos. King of Kings of the Underworld and the Lord of Lords of darkness. With that been said, I wish you all a pleasant day. Go back to your homes and think on everything I have said today. Tomorrow at 6, we will meet again and then start training. Remember nothing goes out to the rest of the pack. Keep it to yourself.
If you spill, I will find out and then you will be in trouble. If you doubt my capabilities to cause harm, you can go and visit your alpha in the hospital. I am sure he will be out of the ER by now.” I said eerily quiet before heading back to the house with Kiara trailing behind me.
As soon as we were inside, I turned to Kiara and said,
“I want you to move in with me?”
“You do realize that Matthews will have to come too right”
“Yeah I do. Just move in already. I am going to bed. Wake me up tomorrow at 6”
“Won’t you have lunch and dinner?”
“No… I’m tired and I feel like lying down”
“Okay. Sleep tight”
“Thanks”
