ALINA: saved by the alpha

Chapter 5: Lone wolf

I wish my parents never died. I wish I was not a part of this drama. I said and slept off.

Good morning uncle, aunt," I said, adjusting my hair while walking down the stairs,

Good morning Alina , how was your night?" my uncle said, smiling. I was puzzled as to why he was smiling at me. He always gave me cold shoulders.

Well.... Alina, you see you did a great job yesterday giving away your mate to your sister , Mia. Well done, that was brave .. You know this means alliance with their pack, and they're very wealthy as well I don't understand why you two didn't get along... It's not like I care anyway," he said, smiling at me. I scoffed I didn't give away my mate Uncle Banard. You and your daughter stole him away, and you know what that's fine. He's now as good as a leftover to me I replied and congratulations. I added and turned to sit at the edge of the dining table.

Uh.. Honey, let her eat breakfast so that she can go to school, my aunt said, interrupting.

Hi cousin sis, Samantha said, pretending to sit beside me. She immediately pulled me hard by the ear , a little warning, she said, and gritted her teeth." I must not see you anywhere near my Ryan ever! .... You know what she can do.. Mia said, smiling and cutting her meat.

I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget. I'll so embarrass you in front of the whole school.

She's a lone wolf now... and a weak one at that I heard Monica and Mia laughing with food in their mouths.

Say rrrrrhh , howl, baby girl, howl, let's hear you. They both said, mockingly, she can't do that," Samantha said, laughing.

Bit** !! Run along! Else you'll miss the bus

I stood up and ran out of the dining room, I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to the bus station and sat there waiting for the next bus to drop me off at school. Finally, the bus came, and I headed to class , headed down to my seat.

Hiiiiiiii, Sandra said, waving at the class entrance. I smiled weakly, as I hadn't had any meal.

So what's up, I heard about the festival. How'd it go Sandra said, smiling with bright eyes?

I heard some kids laughing out loud at the corner of the class .... No way ! Her mate broke bonds with her ? That's so humiliating, and in front of everyone at that gosh... Yes. Apparently, she's an orphan, and she sleeps around with the guards and everyone she deems it fit to open her legs for! Really? What a cheap slut! .. I heard another say

What ? You don't talk about people like that

Sandra interrupted, I know Alina, she is my friend and a very good one... shut up!

Mind your business, it's not as if we were talking to you or anything and besides, this information is legit ..

My eyes welled up in tears and I stormed out of the classroom only to bump into Alex and Mia holding hands. Oh sorry... I said with tears dripping down my face .. are you blind ?!! He shouted hope she didn't stain you with her dirty hands," he said, facing Mia. I kept walking down the hallway... No, no no where'd you think you're going ? He said and pulled me by the arms backwards, apologize to Mia.

What? But I did that even after bumping into you , I did apologize to ... A thunderous slap came across my face. And everyone gasped. You know i do watch you and your stupid behavior, Mia said, dusting her hands

Why'd like to act all high and mighty as if you're some princess or some high-class baby girl ? Do I look like my other twins?

Yeah they're triplets! Samantha's quite nice to you but I am not like that! Get that into your thick skull! She said and pushed me out of the way

I held my face in disbelief.. are you okay ? Sandra said holding me

Why are you crying, and why is your face and hair in disarray? Ryan asked, looking puzzled. Did I miss something?

Alina look at me he said with eyes filled with pity , he tried adjusting my hair to the side but remembering Samantha's words I shifted backward a little, wow that's new! He said and smiled I want to be alone I said and ran towards the school garden

I plucked a few flowers and cried like never before. The world is cruel, mom," I said with hot tears rolling down my rosy cheeks. How I wish you were here dad I said and kept crying. I remember when I use to play in the garden.

Us three , your smiles never fading in my mind, I said, swallowing my saliva hard . Today has not even begun yet and it's tough already.

What do I do ? I asked the wind heartbroken.

I need answers! I screamed I need answers," mom. I am literally going crazy, or better still I AM CRAZY !!! maybe they were right I am cursed, I caused your death, I am an evil child I said crying my eyes out

And to you Moon goddess! you really outdid yourself. You need to be applauded, you kept my wolf locked and made me a weak, good-for-nothing brat ! Right ? Are you happy now ?

You know what? take everything, take my life , take everything and leave me alone. I said I want to rest ..... Hey hey hey !... It's okay, it's okay," Ryan said, hugging me with his broad warm shoulder. Listen Lina he said and patted my back , you're not cursed nor useless , you're beautiful, smart, hardworking, and to crown it all your resilience is top notch , I really admire you

You're not crazy... He said laughing, but a little bit at this moment.. we both laughed.

Yeah that's it , that smile is everything, you look beautiful when you do that you know he said flirtatiously...

Hey.. I said brushing him off , my stomach growled. Oh we need to do something. So he said wiping my tears and made a phone call , Rex? I need you to come pick me up... Um what about school? I asked looking skeptical, school can wait I'll get today's notes and help you go through it ? Is that perfect ? Yeah probably, I replied, looking around for Samantha.

You'll be fine trust me he said smiling. Um where are we going? Rex asked

The company's restaurant.. what? Isn't that one of the biggest restaurants in the country it's where only the rich go to wine and dine umm Ryan I... And direct us to the VIP section on getting there ensure everything is set on getting there. Ryan cuts in commanding rex

Yes? What were you about to say ? He asked nothing I said and sank into the chair.

The car was very fast and we got there in no time , I got off of the car looking haggard from crying.. let's go Ryan said holding my hands and directed me to some big section in the restaurant,

This place is very beautiful , I said looking around like a hungry lost puppy ... What would you like to have? The young miss the waitress asked, Oh ummm.. my eyes popping at each food prices on the list I think water would do just fine I said, smiling and returning the menu book

What? no! It's my treat, Lina, please, and besides it's my restaurant, you can have anything you want Ryan said laughing. Please serve us pasta and chicken wings with cake as dessert and apple juice right away! Young master

You're scared ? You think I'll ask you to pay me back or something?" he asked, mocking me I would never do that to you Lina he said smiling , umm you should stop doing that alpha.... I mean...smiling at me I said ,my cheeks turning rosy . You're blushing," he said smiling. Are you shy?

He asked and shifted closer , no am not i replied and shifted my gaze , you are! look me in the eye and tell me you're not he said having other plans in his head , I am n... I wanted to defend then he leaned in for a kiss on my lips. He kept kissing, what ? I got back to my senses and broke the kiss

I think it's best we have breakfast and head back to college .... I said Looking at the innocent flowers through the window, your cheeks are still red by the way he said smiling

The food was finally here and the hungry beast in me just want to jump out and start devouring it. We ate and were full. I was so grateful to Ryan for this treat. This was the first time I have had something so tast

y in a very long time .

It's okay Lina," he replied.
