The Alpha's Feisty And Broken Princess

CH. 04- Tears & Pain

Chapter Four.

Esme’s point of view.

“ Esme …Esme…Esme,”

A gut-wrenching screech left my lips as my body hit the floor with a loud thud. My eyes shot wide open as the brightness of the daylight almost blinded me. I opened my eyes once more and slowly waited for them to readjust to the brightness of the room. I could feel everyone’s eyes zeroed in on me , just staring at me like I was a freak of nature. Annabelle was standing right over me holding my shoulders and shaking me awake even though I was already somewhat out of whatever trance I had previously been in.

“Esme ,are you ok? What the hell happened ? Girl…i have never seen anything like that before... The room was shaking for a second there and the steam was choking up everyone in the room whilst you and beta Elisa were screaming your lungs out. What the hell happened…what did you see?"

Somehow I could see her lips moving and somewhat process her words but the ringing in my ear continued . The annoyingly persistent noise pitch got higher and higher the longer that she talked, making me hold up my hands to my ears in pain. I wanted her to stop talking so bad but I could not seem to open my mouth and articulate that to her. I finally found my voice and somehow noticed how the room was spinning faster and faster by the second.

I could feel the stares and the looks directed at me slowly Just crippling me as I tried not to pay much attention to them. I opened my mouth to speak but no words could come out and next thing I knew I heard a booming ,domineering voice loudly ring right behind me .

“ What the bloody hell is going on here? Am I talking to the walls or am I talking to living things! Someone better answer the damn question before I completely lose my s*** .what the f*** is going on in my pack. You are not a bunch of animals who can’t talk god dam nit someone better answer me ,”

I could tell just by the change in the atmosphere and how everyone's behavior suddenly just changed that whoever was speaking needed to be answered and soon. His fresh natural scent hit my nose and stared up something deep within me. Smelling his scent took me a bit off guard because I was not yet a fully shifted werewolf and I did not have the wolf smell but I was not complaining. Something about his overpowering fresh pine scent just calmed me down and brought me back to reality.

Turning my face into his direction, his piercing green eyes caught my attention and reeled me in as I gazed upon him with a weird feeling bubbling up at the pit of my stomach. My eyes zoomed in on him , trailing my gaze from his beautiful green orbs to his bushy brows ,stern face ,broad shoulders and then all the way to his balled up fists. Confusion filled up my system as I slightly turned my head to the right in confusion as I carried on looking at him just trying to figure out why he was so riled up.

My eyes slowly followed his narrow line of sight and landed on what he was currently fixating at. Laying on the cold floor rolling, shaking and shrinking with what could only be perceived as sheer pain was none other than Beta Elisa stone. Her eyes shot wide open with what could only be seen as sheer terror as she continued to wail and cry in horror of what she had witnessed. I could feel all eyes suddenly turning my way as everyone questioningly looked at me trying to add up the events that they have just witnessed.

“ Is anyone going to tell me what is going on here and why is my sister on the floor? Elisa are you okay Lisa... Lisa! What the hell happened to her? Why is she like this? Someone better say something before I beat it out of you ,”

The thick layer of dominance that wrapped around his deep voice left no room for me to question his identity . The handsome, tall and pine scented man right in front of me was none other than Alpha Elvis stone... the Betas brother. Out of all the many ways I could have met my Alpha for the very first time this just had to be it… why am I even surprised.

I could tell that his alpha command left no room for the pack members to not answer his questions or wallow in their shock as they all jumped in to answer his questions. Everyone started talking over the other as they stuttered over their sentences and struggled to force out their words. Within everything that everyone was saying I knew that I would be the common denominator and for that reason I decided to just remove myself from the situation.

It took me some time to adjust to being on my feet as the room started spinning once more but I did not have time to risk sticking around for the drama surely to follow. Taking a few seconds to adjust myself on my feet I harshly wiped away my tears with the back of my hands and navigated my way out of the crowd . I just took off on a power walk trying to not raise much attention before catching more momentum and speeding off the pack grounds and running as far away from the alphas general area as I possibly could.

Soon enough I had gained enough speed to find myself in a far-off clearing too far off from pack house and surrounded by nothing but nature whilst allowing for the uttermost isolation. Surrendering myself into the harsh ,rocky ground feeling my legs just losing all strength to carry my body I fell on my knees and just unburdened myself as a scream ripped out of my very core.

It was almost as if the figurative weight had been lifted off my shoulders as I screamed and cried my heart out into the universe. I could still feel the darkness that had previously overwhelmed me now slowly peeking through and rearing its ugly head as tears gusted out of my eyes like a never-ending waterfall. The more I cried the more tears that wanted to peek through and the more pain that I allowed myself to feel as I fully surrendered myself to my sorrow.

Nothing seemed to make much sense to me as I laid on the plush green grass , looking up onto the sky just struggling to catch my breath. The longer I stayed there just trying to gain more control of my breathing , the calmer I got. A sudden slight tingling rang through my wrist and lightly tickled at my flesh with a sense of familiarity. I was more or less used to the light tingling on my wrist at this point because it happened to me on a regular basis . What was new to me was the unbearable pain on my palm that the tingling on my wrist now brought my attention to.

The sudden burst of pain that suddenly hit my hand all at once as it overwhelmed and shook my entire system. You know that thing when you get hurt but you don't really feel the pain because of adrenaline but then a while later when you calm down and observe the wound you suddenly see blood which just makes all of the pain that you have not been processing just hit you all at once... Well yeah, Multiply that by a thousand and that is exactly how I felt. Just pure gut wrenching pain.

As much as the pain was becoming more and more unbearable by the second , I knew that I had to get out of the pity party I was throwing myself…Pull myself out of this rut and go back home before gran starts looking for me. The light tingling on my wrist was the side effect of the binding spell that she placed on me being triggered because she was looking for me . I stalled for a few more moments but I knew that was just eating away at time and I had to go home before the woman pretty much summons me and trust me being summoned is torture.

She made a big fuss as soon as I entered the door asking questions and trying to make a conversation whilst also making it a point to enquire about my whereabouts. The good part is that her back was turned towards me as she prepared something in the kitchen thus meaning that she could not see how f***ked up I look with all of the dirt and sticks in my hair as well as the tears all dried up on my cheeks.

I did not even bother to answer any of her questions as I just tried to hold everything in long enough to get into my room. I slammed the door shut and threw myself in bed trying to cuddle up to as many stuffed animals as I possibly could before letting it all out and crying my heart out which brings us back to me throwing myself a pity party.

I fully intended on just wallowing in self pity and sulking for as long as eternity would allow me but what I did not count on was all of the vile and unexpected visitors.
