Chapter 91

—By the way, I forgot, dad is waiting for you in his office, he wants to talk to you.

As I listened to him, I rolled my eyes —I knew it was too true to be accurate, and now what did I do— I said, looking at him.

—Don't look at me,—said Manuele, while he continued eating from my plate, —Don't kill the messenger. I'm just passing on the message, but you don't have to be very smart to know what that's about; you know that sooner or later, you'll have to accept and go to mom's Coven to start your training, right.

—Why are you all so anxious for me to go? You could pretend for a moment that you want me to be here, at least you; I didn't expect this from you. — I said, looking at him disappointed.

—Come on, Orahna, I know I don't like the idea of you leaving for two years, but it's something you have to do; I'm sorry, sis, I agree with our parents on this.

—Well, the faster I go, the quicker I can get rid of my discomfort and avoid an argument.

—I yelled at Manuele, making cheerleader gestures with his hands.

—You're an idiot,— I said, smacking him on the head as I passed by him.

—Hey, respect your future alpha.

I knew what was waiting for me, that speech about the tradition and your obligation for having the warlock gene, my responsibility before the pack, and my future as a possible Luna of an alpha. Everything had to be related to be someone's property because it just couldn't be me. Orahna always listened to your comments as a great Moon, or your mate will be happy with you, shit! I was sick of it, but I wouldn't give my arm, not in this case, I don't want to rime to Paris no one will tell me how to make my life.

I arrived at the office and knocked on the door, waiting for permission to enter — Come in! —said my father.

—Dad sent for me,— I said somewhat seriously, looking at them.

—Yes, sweety, please sit down,— said my mother.

—I'm going to get scolded for kicking my cousin's ass; she is the one who always started ...... —I said, but my father stopped me saying—What fight between you?

Damn it! I think I messed up. —I thought.

—Nothing, forget it, it doesn't matter.

—Orahna, I already told you that you must be understanding with your cousin. I know she doesn't have a straightforward character, but since your aunt, Lexie passed away, it has been difficult for her; please try to be more understanding, will you.

—Mom, I don't do anything to her. She is always finding a way to annoy me. Still, you only see your daughter as the rebel who spoils everything, and she is the victim,— I said while I turned my eyes.

—Be careful with that attitude, young lady; besides being your father, I am your alpha.

—I'm sorry, daddy.

—That's not the reason we brought you here, and I think I know perfectly well what the main reason is.

—Please, not again.

—Orahna, you know we can't let any more time pass, and you must go to Paris. — My mother said very seriously.

—Besides, in a week, you will be 16. We will announce that you will go to Paris; I have given you enough time to reconsider, but no more young lady, it is decided, and soon you will leave. —said my father, very determined.

I stared at them and stood up, —Then I don't understand why you take the trouble to ask me when you already decided for me,— I said, very annoyed. I could feel my breathing too much agitated.

—Orahna, calm down, we are just talking, honey,— said my mother is looking at me worried, and I could see a bit of fear in her eyes.

—that's precisely what I meant; this girl needs a strong hand, and the sooner she leaves and learns to control her powers, the better it will be for everyone, —said my father.

—Leonardo,— said my mother is looking at him.

At that moment, I could not stand it anymore. My hands were covered with blue flames, and my eyes were an intense blue. I felt hurt because my parents told me that I could not control myself and keep me away from everything.

I looked at my hands and started to take a few steps back in surprise because this had never happened to me before, I had been able to do some tricks and spells, but I had never lost control like this.

—Breathe, control your breathing, you can do it, baby—said my mother, and I did it; my flames began to consume and disappear from my hands; in my face, a smile was drawn. I looked at my mother, proud of what I had achieved.

She looked at me and said, —I am proud of you, beautiful;— said my mother making me feel good about myself.

—And you still wonder why, I want to send you to the Coven, you can't control your powers, and that's a clear sign of that, you will leave, and you won't come back until you turn 18 when you can recognize your mate and maybe that will change your attitude a little bit, young lady.

—Leonardo,—said my mother is looking at him, surprised by his words.

—I don't know why I'm surprised that you want to send me away; that's the tradition in our family, to send the daughters away. It happened with my mother, and now it will happen to me. I wish I had never been born. — I said angrily; I could not even think well what I was saying; I was furious; I left my father's office and ran away.

—Leonardo, you shouldn't have talked to our daughter that way; you know how fickle her character is; she needs understanding, she needs affection, she needs us as parents to understand her point of view, not to treat her as a stranger, she is our child.

—I'm sorry, Aurora, she drives me out of my mind; she always has that wild and challenging attitude. She doesn't give up and challenges me; I'm also her alpha. I don't understand from whom she got that damn temper.

Aurora just raised her eyebrows, looking Leonardo straight in the face, — You don't know who she got that temper from; you don't have to be very smart to realize it, my love.

After the fight I had with my parents, I ran out of his office. I unintentionally pushed my brother Manuele, but I didn't stop and continued on my way. —Orahna, be more careful, Orahna, Orahna! — he said, yelling at me.

I decided to go to my parents' office and see what was taking them so long, but when I got there, my sister came running out and pushed me, without even realizing it was me. I was worried about seeing her like that. I knocked on the door and entered without warning.

—What happened to my sister? She ran out and almost knocked me down,—I said, surprised by what had happened, but my parents only looked at each other and said nothing.

-I waited long enough for your sister to realize and make a good decision, but since she didn't, I have made it for her, after her 16th birthday party she will go to Paris.

—That means you will force her to leave, even if she doesn't want to? — I asked them, and the truth did not seem fair to me, that they would do that to her, but I could not do anything about it; when my father makes a decision, no power in this world can make him go back.

—How did she take it? — I asked, but by the look on her face, I think I knew the answer.

—She got angry and lost control of her powers, she was about to blow up the office, that's why there is no time to lose, she has to leave before some tragedy happens, that we will all regret, we do it for her, but if only she would realize it.

—She is a brilliant mom; she will realize it, don't worry.

My legs were getting heavier and heavier. I just kept running; I couldn't take it anymore; I couldn't stand knowing that my parents were deciding for me without considering my feelings or opinions.

Finally, I reached the lake and walked to a stone that was on the shore near the waterfall, I sat on it, and as I stretched my legs to play with my fingers submerged in the water, I was furious and let out a scream, Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!

—That's the best way to get the stress out if you ask me; it's the most effective— said someone behind me, and I turned immediately; my eyes met bright blue ones that had a special glow when they saw mine.

—You again, today is not my day, —I said, turning around and turning my back to him, ignoring his presence, and continued playing with the water.

—Hello, how are you? Very well, it's good to see you again, me too! — said the idiot imitating my voice and his. I couldn't help smiling a little for his ventriloquist stupidity, and a slight smile was drawn on my face. Still, I tried to avoid it, although he had already noticed.

—See, you look much more beautiful smiling than with your tantrum girl face,— he said, looking at me.

—You are so funny,—I said, annoyed.

—And what's the honor of your visit again, don't you have a pack to go to or a girlfriend to talk to, instead of wasting my time? — I told him, trying to let him know that I wanted him to go away and leave me alone.

—Not really, or are you asking because you're interested in knowing if I have a girlfriend and if I'm available,— he said in a cocky, arrogant voice that made me roll my eyes again.

—Don't feel like the last drop in the desert; you're not my type,— I told him seriously.

—I'm not your type, so you don't like tall, handsome, and muscular? — He said to me as he sat down close to me, too close for my taste, and sat down next to me on the stone, causing me to get a little nervous because of the proximity of our bodies.

When I heard him, I let out a mocking laugh and looked him up and down and said, —I have very high standards; I don't settle for just anything.

—Ouch! That hurt, you hurt my feelings, and here I am, confessing that I like you,— he said, looking at me with that captivating smile. I couldn't stop looking at him, but I reacted by turning my gaze towards the lake again and ignored him again.
