Chapter 13

"Oh, moon goddess," I groan, getting up from the bed with anger buzzing inside me. I then walk lazily towards the bathroom to carry out my morning routine.

Today is not going to be a good day. I can feel it from the anger bubbling inside me.

This always happens. Anytime I wake-up feeling angry, it means I am a ticking time bomb waiting to explode, destroying anything in my way. Anything you say or do will get me irritated and angry easily, and the last thing I want right now is to get into more trouble with Ma.

I am so certain someone will upset me. I may literally end up killing someone today. I put toothpaste on my toothbrush before standing in front of the mirror by the sink. After taking a relaxing shower, I came out brushing my hair with a towel wrapped around me.

I change into black leggings, a gray sweater, black scarf around my neck paired with my red and white sneakers before stepping out of the closet. I don't have training today. Yesterday Ma said, 'no training tomorrow because you and I are going somewhere and don't think you can escape this,' as if I even care.

Just thinking about yesterday increases the anger I am feeling.

"Please help me, moon goddess," I pray, closing the room door behind me.

If I were to be back in my pack, I would have been locked in my room right now. I have to try my best, so Ma doesn't find out.

I need my freedom today. I make my way into the kitchen finding the place empty as usual. I serve myself a plate of rice and a glass of water.

~~~~~~~~~~

After eating, I decided to go for a walk in the open field surrounded by houses.

I am trying to reduce the rage and the need to hit something so badly by taking a walk feeling the cool air entering my lungs, calming my nerves down.

I walk, noticing Werewolf pups going about their daily routine.

This is a place mainly meant for lycans and a few werewolves. In contrast, the kingdom's outer depths are meant for other supernatural beings to keep peace and unity.

I wonder about the number of werewolves that live here, maybe five thousand, just guessing.

While walking, I felt someone tug the sleeve of my sweater to get my attention. I look down to find a cute little girl with black hair put into a high ponytail, chubby cheeks, and adorable eyes. "Excuse me, can you get my brother's ball up there?" she says, pointing toward the forest.

"what your name, little one?"I ask, taking her hands in mine with a soft smile on my lips.

"My name is Rebecca, "she says, grinning widely with her ponytail bouncing as she jumps happily.

"Mine is Kate," I say sweetly " Okay, come show me where the ball is, "I say, letting her lead the way.

We got inside the forest, where she pointed towards a tree with a ball stuck in one of the branches.

How did the ball even get there?

"Okay, wait here while I get up there, "I say, moving towards the tree.

I climb up the tree watching my step. In no time, I got the ball from the tree handling it to her. "Here you go, dear, take care of yourself, okay? And be careful not to get the ball stuck again," I advise before placing a kiss on her forehead.

She waves me goodbye before running off happily before making my way back towards the mansion.

I walk into the movie room, hearing a voice coming from the Tv walking in to find Lawrence and Lillian addressing some pack maids "here you are? where have you been?" Lillian asks curiously.

I roll my eyes at her," exploring, why? " I ask, ignoring the fact that she just gave me an order.

"nothing just needed your help for something. Why don't we watch a movie?" she suggests before walking towards the plasma. "What do you say, Lawrence ?" she asks, glancing at Lawrence with a smirk.

"do whatever you like, "he says, tapping on his phone.

I walk towards the couch closer to the TV.

We sit in the movie room watching a movie before Anderson joins us.

"Kate, you're here. Didn't I ask you to come to see me since we need to discuss things, young lady?" Ma says, walking towards me with elder Mathias and Thomas right behind her. "Yes, Ma, I am ready now. Let's go, "I sigh, not willing to argue with her right now.

She took me to a cafe shop not too far from the mansion, refusing to discuss anything with me.

Immediately we make ourselves comfortable in a booth in the cafe. We order coffee while she keeps meeting my eyes with a serious look. "What is it Ma, you have been giving me that the same look for the past five minutes already? " I say with a scowl on my face.

"I talked with Elder Mathias and Thomas, " she says, sipping from her coffee.

"Oh, that was why I saw you with them. What did you guys talk about ?" I ask, hitting my nails on the table out of boredom.

"Kate, I think it's time we join this pack," she says with a hidden smile on her lips.

"I am not joining this pack. We are leaving this pack going somewhere, not here or my Dad's pack, "I say, leaving no room for argument.

They must be crazy, thinking I will join this pack after all the plans and dreams for Ma and me.

I am not ready to be bonded by the rules or regulations of any pack. I crave freedom.

"Why not? Everything is going well here, and your mate is here," she questions, looking confused.

"I say no, and I don't have a mate here," I say, snapping at her.

She looks at me with shock evident in her eyes.

"he rejec---" she tries saying as her voice cracks with unfamiliar emotions.

I cut her off "yes and no" run my hand through my hair. I am not ready to have this conversation right now " Everything is just too complicated."

"Ma, I am not happy here," I say softly, pleading with her to see reason with me.

She took my hand in hers" okay, I will give you more time to get used to this place."

I sigh, giving up trying to change her mind" Okay, I will think about it," she replies with a happy smile. I am also sorry for snapping at you. I am just not feeling myself today."

"that not good you can't be here; let's go," she says, getting up from her seat in panic.

"Ma, it's aright. You are here if anything happens and also, they are all going to suspect something if you just lock me in my room, " I say, holding her hands.

"Okay, be careful, but we still have to leave this place now, " she says, placing the bill on the table before pulling me up. We make our way towards the door.

We also stopped to collect some things from Elisa's friend before making our way back to the mansion.

Reaching the mansion, it was already time for dinner, so we moved towards the dining room.

I sat down in my usual seat, which is on the right side of Lawrence and opposite Britta " Alex, were you able to get it from her? " Elisa asks, looking towards Ma.

"yes, I gave it to a maid to place it in your room," She explains while Britta keeps staring at me with disdain clear in her eyes.

"can you stop giving me that look of disdain?" I say rather calmly not to cause another showdown.

She laughs humorlessly. You are sure a good actress, hiding your through self under that nonchalant attitude, " she says spitefully.

"What is that supposed to mean ?" I ask, finding no humor in her statement.

She places her cutlery down before locking her hands together on the table with a malicious look on her face. "Kate, why don't you tell us about yourself? Everybody would like to know you better, " Britta says, smirking.

"What?" I ask suspiciously.

"You heard me. Lillian, Don't you want to know something about Kate?" she asks, looking at Lillian with a smirk on her lips." After all, she is your friend, so it would be great to know more about her."

I would love so much to rip that arrogant look off her face.

"Yes, but not when we are having dinner, " Lillian says, laughing awkwardly.

"No, I am really curious to know, " she says, staring at everyone before looking back at me. "Kate, why don't you tell us. I am also sure The Alpha king will also love to know what kind of threat you would bring to the kingdom," she urges, grinning before smiling at Lawrence.

"Britta, drop it," Lawrence says, not paying attention to anything going on.

"she is up to something, " says Tiara. "I know, but I have no idea what she is plotting, "I say before blocking the link.

I meet her gaze with a smirk on my face. Two can play this game. "Okay. My name is Kate David, as you already know," I say before clearing my throat. "My parents are both dead, so I was taken care of by my grandma. That all you should know about me, "I say.

"But I thought your Dad is the Alpha of morning pack and is still alive ?" asks Jack looking confused.

Before I can answer, Britta beats me to it. "Yes, the Alpha is her Dad, but she was disowned by him and also by her brother," she says coldly while everyone stares in shock except Ma.

" Stop saying nonsense, " I say, fighting the urge to smash her face in.

"Why Kate does the truth hurt that much?" she asks spitefully. "She murdered her Mum, so she was banned from calling herself the alp- - -" She continues before receiving a loud growl from Lawrence, as his murderous stare locks with hers.

"Britta put an end to this nonsense or leave this dining room," Lawrence orders with fury in his eyes.

"What? I only confess the truth here," she says innocently. " She killed her mother. Why then is she still alive? You are despicable, " she says, glaring at me with hatred.

My vision clouds with red, meaning I am about out to end this bitch.How dare you to speak about what you know nothing about, you vixen?" I say, flashing my claws and canines at her. "If you want to see the end of today, you better keep your mouth shut" My voice sounds different as Tiara creeps to the surface, trying to take control of my body.

She flashes her claws and canines, ready for a fight.

Before anyone can blink, I pin her against the wall with my hand wrapped around her neck, cutting her lungs from receiving air.

My claws dig into her flesh, letting the blood run down her neck. "You forgot to mention one tiny detail," I say maliciously. " I killed my Mum when I was just inside her, so it won't hurt me to end your worthless life within seconds, " I say, holding her neck tightly, gaining satisfaction as she whimpers. She claws at my hand to get much need air to survive.

I lick my canines. Seeing blood running down her neck entices my taste buds.

I growl loudly, going for the kill. Still, someone throws me away from my prey, making me growl, digging my claw into the arm wrapped around me protectively.

I feel heat and wave of spark going through my body from the body holding me tightly. I whine, burying my face into the person's neck, enjoying the spark and the delicious scent coming from the person.

"Enough, Kate, you have to calm down," a voice pleads, snapping me out of my dazed state. I need to teach that pesky she-wolf a lesson for humiliating me.

I release myself from the person's hold before walking towards my prey, the smell of fear and blood drawing me nearer. "It's okay, Kate, just focus on my voice, a voice says pulling me back into the delicious scent. " I try focusing on the familiar voice.

I breathe in, burying my face into the person's neck, savoring comfort, and safety.

"let leave here, "a voice says, pulling me away from the protective hand around me.

I growl in protest, clinging more into the person" Kate, go with your ma okay, let me take care of things here," Lawrence says, running his hand through my hair.

I pull away from him, meeting his intense gaze on me. "Go with her. I promise to come after you when I am done here," he says, kissing my hair softly before placing a kiss on my forehead.

I pout reluctantly before pulling away from him, letting ma direct me out of the room with my gaze still locked on him.

She directs me into an empty room before walking out, locking the door behind her.

I try going after her, but she locked me in. I growl at the closed door feeling my anger build up once again before taking it out on the room.
