BETRAYED BY HER MATED

CHAPTER 4

Tricia's POV

"Wow....Miss Trina Katrine Houston, did you finally decide to open up to your parents?" She said in a loud tone

"Yeah" I replied

"Yay! My bestie is finally acting to her zodiac sign!" She cheered

"I'm a Leo" I replied confused

"Exactly! Leo's are outspoken and love the limelight. You, my dear are the exact opposite of that." She explained

"Wow. I'm surprised, I'm gagged, I'm exhilarted. I am over the moon. Infact I'm on cloud nine!" She was so happy and excited but I felt glum, not because of my parents but because of my decision. I truly meant every word I had said to them, I wasn't going to search or wait for my mate any longer.

"Please stop pacing about. Am sad" I complained

"If you are sad because of what your dad must've said to you then I do not care even the slightest bit so to hell with your saddness" she spat with a disgusted expression

"No not that. I've decided not to wait or search for my mate any longer. I mean what's the point; I already lost my virginity to a stranger who I may or may not meet in this lifetime and even if I do see him; I wouldn't recognize him" I said sadly

"I'm not sorry about taking you to the club, or making you sleep with a stranger. I'm sorry you lost your V card to someone you will never be able to find even if you meet or sleep with all the men that were in the club that day. Some of them were humans who knew about werewolves. And who knows, you might've spent you night with a human" she said

"Are you trying to make me feel better or worse?" I asked

"Haha.... sorry " she faked the laugh but it didn't bother me. Suddenly I heard the loud sound of Carlotta's tummy rumble, I looked up at her knowing the exact words she was about to say

"I'm not cooking!" I yelled and laid down the bed

"Come on please. I want your brown soup" she said

"I made that when u were sick so you'll get better" I complained

"Am sick right now. I promise......Tricia I might end up dieing without having a taste of your brown soup" she kept whining

"Why don't you make them yourself " I complained

"Because you have the magic touch" she whined

"Nooooooo"

I made her soup. I was shocked to find that she had already made preparations as though she knew I'd be coming to her house soon. Now I'm just lying on her bed and looking up to the celling wondering what my next step would be. I couldn't live with Carlotta forever, I'd start working soon and finally earn enough to get an apartment in New York City. That was my big plan and I decided to name it. My Big American Dream.

"What are you thinking about smiling so brightly. I know you do not have a boyfriend you're daydreaming about" Carlotta said; dragging me out of my daydreams

"Unlike you, I don't daydream about hot guys or BTS. I'm planning my future" I said boastfully

"First BTS are the hot guys I daydream of and do not say anything about k-pop guys. Secondly, what exactly is your dream? Other than being your father's pet for the rest of your life; you didn't tell me about your second ambition" she said in a serious tone but I knew her words had sarcasm

"Haha very funny" I said exaggeratedly

"You know am all about sarcasm. That's why I'm a Virgo" she made a peace sign with her fingers.

"Well, I have a Big American Dream that will be fulfilled right here in New York " I said

"Wow, girl you are glowing right now. I got chills ...look my hair skin is up" she exclaimed

"Whatever, I'm serious tho. I plan to become a chef first and if I'm lucky enough then humans will probably love my cooking just as much as you do"

"Especially your steak. In a word, PERFECTION." She made a fancy look while saying that and I couldn't help but giggle

"Okay, I hope they like that too. Though I heard a majority of New Yorkers are vegetarians " I say

"That's just a crap word most of them say to confuse others, the fact remains that they secretly eat meat. Who do you think finishes the steak at supermarkets?" She asks

"You know, you are going to get in trouble soon with how you mingle up alot with humans. Don't forget they don't like our kind and that's why we have to stay hidden" I warn

"Yeah yeah mom, whatever you say" she replies

"So what is your next step in your big American dream?" She asks

"Well I plan to get an apartment and then put my human education to good use and work for a company " I explain

"That's pretty good. I like it and I'll give you my full support if......" She just had to make a dramatic pause at the end of her sentence

"If?"

"You promise never to go back to your dumb father and plead for forgiveness no matter what crazy situation life puts you into" she says

"I won't " I say rolling my eyes

"Promise" she said in a loud tone

"Promise" after that awkward discussion we mostly spent time on our phones till night came and as usual Carlotta tries to make me follow her to a club again but I refused to go.

I heard Carlotta come in at midnight and heard her murmuring incoherent words as she got to her bed and totally collapsed there. Luckily I had seen this coming, so I cleared up her dusty old guest room and made it homey, I redesigned it in my DIY way and it was a perfect fit for me.

I woke up the next morning with a splitting headache. I held my head in pain as I slowly arose from the bed and sat up. 'Why does it hurt so much' I cried out loud and looked outside the window. I saw the sun had just began arising; another reason I chose to stay in the guestroom, was because of how well ventilated it was to Carlotta's room and I loved the fresh air and feel of nature around me; I find Carlotta's room stuffy and uncomfortable for any human to survive in for anything more than 4 hours.

I suddenly heard a pained loud cry from Carlotta's room and what followed was a gunshot. The f**k!
