The Alpha's Feisty And Broken Princess

CH. 06- The Break In

chapter six.

Esme’s point of view.

The door hit the side table with a loud thud as it was roughly open with great urgency.

“What the hell are you doing to my granddaughter bi**t…I will have your head for this . Who sent you ? What spell are you using? What type of enchantment is this? Why is my little girl crying in pain? Talk to me before I cut you fu***ing head off bi**t! Did the coven send you after me or you are just after her? I swear I will have your head right this instance b***h I am waiting for a fuc**in answer,”

I tried to speak up but the more I tried the more breath that left my lungs as I doubled over in pain . My hands tightly wrapped around my tummy as if holding it would somehow stop the burning and excruciating pain being exerted throughout my whole body .

My lips opened but no words left my mouth and that just proved to be a pain all on its own. I could feel the worry deep within me getting stronger and stronger by the second as gran held Anabelle up against my bedroom door with nothing but the hands tightly wrapped around her neck. My body shook with a mixture of pain and panic as I watched her face turning a pale shade of pink from being strangled by gran. To be honest grab looked so angry I would be scared shi”*less if I was the one on the other hand of her wrath.

Anabelle’s lips opened and closed as she tried to explain herself to grab but failed miserably as the tight grip on her neck made speaking challenging. I could tell by her pinkish skin and the blue bruises starting to form that she was probably strangling to breathe so I used the small energy I had left to try and at least get psycho grandma off her case.

“stop, she breath…stop! Can’t…stop! Breath…Please, stop,”

It took a while for gran to realize that Anabelle actually couldn’t speak with her hands all around her neck. Gran was immediately by my side holding my hand as she flung Ana free to catch her breath. As much as I would like to take credit for Gran letting Ana go I knew deep down that I was not the reason she stopped assaulting my only friend because my words were so inaudible and mumbled up I barely understood what I was saying so I probably made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I watched as she greedily took in as much oxygen as possible in her lungs and honestly at that moment even with the immense pain I was in I could not help but think of how I just lost a friend once more and proved myself to be a freak just like the rumors stated. My heart just broke at the thought of never being able to make a friend again but that pain was short-lived as the pain that was burning up my whole body took over and made any other pain nothing more than just an inconvenience.

“its heat …she’s in heat mam. I swear I have nothing to do with it. We need to get her cooled up and soon. If we don’t get her body temperature down the pain will get much worse and she might start to bruise or worse…Maybe put her under a cold shower or maybe in a tub of cold water”

My heart broke at the sudden pain and sorrow that filled my grandma’s eyes as she watched me in pain with tears welling up her eyes. She did not take long to muse over Ana’s words as she carried me in her arms and placed me under the shower . I just sat there …useless and relishing on the cool water falling onto my skin.

‘wow…either nana is strong, strong or I am too tiny. Maybe if I just die she won’t worry about me so much and I wouldn’t be in such pain,'

my self talk was never really that positive but they had never gotten this dark before…fuck being positive I am in pain and crying was not of any use.

“Sorry for overreacting Ana , I just heard crying and screaming then concluded the worst. What do I even do? The water is not even helping. Why is this happening to my baby? She is in so much pain is that even normal …are you sure it’s heat and not an illness of some sort,”

Tears welled up my eyes as I struggled to even breathe through all of the steam in the bathroom. The water hit my body and provided a cooling effect for only but a few moments followed by my body heat just heating up the water and making steam fill up the entire room. I could hear the conversation between Ana and gran but I could not focus much on it as all that my mind could comprehend is excruciating pain. It was like I drank gas and swallowed a ball of fire just burning me from the Inside out as slowly and painfully as possible.

“It is ok mam I understand . I am very sure that it is heat. The symptoms are all there…the darkened eyes, the burning ,the ashy ,overly sweet scent and unusually concentrated scent…the pain. The only thing we can do is try and keep her safe and comfortable,”

They continued on talking as they held me up and varied me across my bedroom and all the way to the guest bathroom downstairs. The bathroom downstairs was the only one with a bathtub in the whole house and the way there got more and more painful by the second as the cold shower water no longer hit my skin. I could hear bits and pieces of their conversations but I mostly just zoned out and slipped in and out of consciousness so I missed chunks of it

If I could protest against being taken to the bathtub I would have but I could barely muster up any energy talk less of actually protesting against anything. The cold bathtub hit my skin and provided relief for only but a few moments just like expected. It made no sense to me why gran would remove me from running water to put me in a tub of still water that will probably get hot and aid in boiling me alive but as I said…no energy to protest so I just focused on trying to avoid the pain ,spoiler alert I was failing and with flying colors.

“Did she meet her mate ? That is what usually triggers heat. My mother said that meeting ones mate and the ceremonious shift on the eighteenth birthday are the common things that bring about heat …is there any ice in the house the tub water is evaporation from her body heat,”

As I said their conversation was a blur to me so I could only catch bits and pieces all jumbled up but the mates part caught my attention. I zoned out for a few moments just thinking over all the new people I have been around as of late .wait have I met my mate? Huuuu… Could I have met my mate and not known the person was my mate? In that case wouldn’t my mate know I was his or maybe he knew and just didn’t want me…ouch

“hear my voice and obey my command…like snow in winter you shall freeze .υπακούω και παγώνω,”

I almost cried out in pure bliss and relief at the water instantly getting cooler and cooler by the second Whilst gran repeated her spell and laid her hand in the tub. I was slowly but surely gaining consciousness and for the first time in a very long time I felt blessed to have a witch for a grandmother.

*THUMP! BANG! * The noises outside caught our attention, almost making me jump out of my own skin. Multiple loud growls soon filled the atmosphere followed by windows shattering and doors being banged upon. *THUMP!THUMB! BANG!* A screech unlike any other left my lips as the growls got loud and the noise of the front door being ripped off its hinges rang through the room.

“wolves! I thought we were isolated and safe here but I was wrong. Esme I am so sorry. Your scent is drawing them here and driving them wild…they will fight over you and fight us to get to you , probably fight you too. They will want you to submit and mate you. If you don’t submit they will mate you by Force at least the last wolf standing will,”

It was as if Ana knew exactly what I was thinking because I was just about to ask what the hell was going on. The panic set on all of us in an instant as the growls now rang inside the house signifying the wolves were already inside and I was screwed. Honestly I am scared shi*less.
