Unwanted she-wolf

Chapter 8 - morning after part 2.

An hour and twenty three minutes. This was all i could manage to sleep, the bright side the thumping in my head subsided, i probably could of slept longer if it wasn't for the spinning feeling. i sat up and rubbed my eyes. my stomach growling for food. i reached over and picked up my hair bobble sitting on the bedside table and tied my hair up in a messy bun. forcing myself to get out my warm bed i made my way to the bedroom door picking up my long sleeved cardigan from the bottom of the bed , i put it on and made my way out of the room down the stairs to the ground floor and sat myself in the dinning room, luckily for me breakfast was still being served. the table was set and had french toast, cheese toasties, tea and coffee pots, jugs of orange and apple juice, fried egg, scrambled egg, beans, toast, butter, and pancakes. i was spoiled for choice.

i grabbed my plate and put two cheese toasties on it and helped myself to a cup of tea with milk and two sugars. unaware of the fact that everyone was staring at me or even the fact that the room fell silent... i came here for food and that was my priority.

after a few big bites of my toastie and a few sips of my tea my eyes snapped up to meet the awkward stares of everyone in the room, just staring at me.

my father and his beta nathan, Alpha caine and his beta Ian, his wife and her parents, ALpha Zane and his very pissed off wife.

"morning" i said to them unsure of what else to say.

"good morning natasha, sleep well?" my father's said, he was smiling so maybe it wasn't too bad of a party last night

"wishful thinking" opalines voice crept up in my head.

i rolled my eye's trying to block her negative side out.

"i slept okay" i replied to my father.

he nodded, still in silence. i wouldn't of been that bothered by the silence if they all didn't stop staring back and forth at me like i was some sort of impostor.

i quickly glanced at nathan

((Mind-Link))

"that whole i should skip breakfast wasn't a exaggeration?"

i questioned him looking at him intensely

he made eye contact with me slightly shaking his head no.

((mind-link end))

i put my eyes back down to my plate, and took another bite of my cheese toastie this time i chewed slowly. no way in hell that they are going to be having any meeting's or secret conversations behind my back especially with what happened the first time.

"SLAM" a hand crashing down on the table. 

"Why is she still here?"

Luna Sarah stood up her chair had been tipped over and some of the coffee spilled from where she hit her hand on the table, the human servers quickly cleaning the spilled coffee.

my father got to his feet immediately and snapped 

"That's my daughter your referring to" His voice was low he was angry.

I could hear he was holding back a growl. ive never seen my father angry. he always has the best control of himself. even i was scared.

i stood up

"Im not leaving" i announced.

i quickly reached over and helped myself to another cheese toastie. and sat back down like i had no care in the world. i looked at Alpha caine, he was looking right at me i thought i could see him smirking, but then with the interruption of Luna kelly trying to calm down the situation between my father and luna sarah, his face suddenly became expressionless. 

"my love sit down" Alpha Zane's voice commanded to his wife.

she reached down and picked her chair up and sat her backside down. If dirty looks could kill i without a doubt would be dead. sarah snarling across the table looking at me seething. i tried my best not to give a smile after all i didnt want to be blamed for teasing the situation. but i couldn't help it. it was clear she didn't appreciate being laughed at she went to open her mouth.. but as luck would have it, Ryan strolled in

"Morning" he his face beaming

his mother closed her mouth as quick as she opened it. putting her eye's firmly on the table.

"well least that shut her up" opalines voice crept in my head.

"Morning" i said to ryan

he pulled out a chair and sat next me before i could ask he told me harry was still sleeping. i noded

"well your just in time for the morning drama" i said

ryan rolled his eyes. and looked at his parent's

"we will need to make plan's for me and harry's wedding" he stated towards his father, ALpha zane gave a quick nod and slightly smiled, his mother on the other hand kept her head down and her eyes closed trying to simmer her anger down.

"matching suits..that would be nice or even kilts? i suggested to ryan to try and distract him for his mother's lack of warmth.

he smiled whilst pouring himself some coffee, i could tell he was hurt by his mother's disapproval. even a i***t could see she wasn't going to support her son's relationship.

"you will still have to reject my daughter Caine as agreed"

these words from my father sent chills down my spine. i actually felt hurt by it, even opaline was on edge i could feel her rage.

my father gave me a smile, a pity smile. before turning his attention back towards Caine.

"Natasha, needs a chance to find someone as you have your luna" my father bowed his head to Luna Kelly and gave her a soft smile.

"yes, we will sort it" Caine's deep voice replied.

my heart sank. i actual felt lost. as if i had something precious being stole from me. i didnt even notice the tear from my left eye escaping down my cheek as i looked at Alpha Caine. i was lost.

ryan noticed and quickly pinched the back of my hand.

i let out a gasp," WHAT was that for?" i yelled in surprise. 

which caused everyone to stare at me

ryan didnt have to say anything i could suddenly feel my cheek wet i quickly wiped away the tear and stood up fled from the room before anyone could say anything.

I found myself in my room. laying on my bed. how pathetic i felt.

"we should rip her head off" opaline's voice growled.

"you really need therapy" i stated

"it's a win win. she's in our way of happiness" opaline argued.

"don't start this again opaline" i groaned.

my phone started ringing.

it was Nana.

"great what does this old crow want?" i thought to myself

"Natasha?"

"yes im here nana"

"how did it go?"

"how did what go?"  i asked

"the necklace my love"

the moment she said it memories came flooding back of the party.

"s**t" the word escaping from my lips without thinking.

"i mean, yep all good" i lied. i had forgot all about it.

"good. that should keep the demon from sensing her, it's a bit of a odd thing though" nana said sounding unsure

"how so?" i asked.

"im just surprised the THE demon hasn't killed her sooner and ate the baby"

"thats disgusting nana"

"

 think you should be thankful it hasnt" i said

"no..natasha that's ...what..mean...hello?"

the line started to crackle.

"Nana?"

beep beep beep.

the call cut off.

"that's just great" i said sarcastically, i thrown my phone on the bed. i started pacing up and down trying to remember who it was i gave the necklace to.

"the maid" opaline said.

"the maid?" i question as i stopped pacing.

"the old human one" she growled. the upset feeling from her was gone.. replaced by anger.

"marion.. of course" i replied , it was like a light bulb had switched on in my brain

"thanks opaline"

she didn't reply.

come to think of it, i hadn't seen Marion all morning. or even since she went to look for Luna Kelly. i got up and went to the boy's room instead of knocking i just barged in

"Harry? ryan have you seen Marion?"

"haven't you heard of knocking?" ryan said as he threw a pillow at me.

i smiled. harry and ryan were sitting on the bed, they were clothed but clearly i was interrupting something.

"harry" i said

"where is your aunt?"

"i haven't seen her" he said

i looked at him with a frown "is that normal?" i questioned.

"maybe she's took a day off?" ryan butted in

"that will be a first" harry snorted.

i looked at both the boys

"thanks anyways" i said and with that i turned round and headed out closing the door behind me.

i crept back downstairs, holding my breath and tip-toeing past the dinning room where my father and my mate where still in there having their secret conversations. i made my way to the kitchen, where the human's were, cleaning the kitchen. but still as luck would have it no sign of Marion.

"excuse me" i reached out and tapped another girl on the arm she looked at least maybe two year's older than myself.

"yes miss?" she said. her eye's wide like she was a rabbit caught in headlights she looked tired.

i smiled at her , "have you seen Marion?"

"No miss, not since last night she was in the garden by the green house"

"maybe she's took the day off" she said smiling.

"thank's anyways" i said. walking off to the back door.

it wasn't a too bad morning outside. it wasn't the warmest the sun was now hiding behind thick grey clouds, and i could see my own breath. i took a deep inhale of the fresh air. i loved the country.

"i smell something rotting" opaline growled.

i sniffed the air it was faint but something was rotting.

"the scent is faint" i whispered

suddenly my vision changed, my eye's glowed purple, my teeth became sharp, my claws extracting. i could feel the magic with in growing i didn't fully change i took a few steps sniffing the air following the faint smell of rotting, the scent took me to behind of the green house. where the woodland was thick, i could smell the strong stench of cow dung.

"it's masking the rotting smell" i growled.

i placed my hand on the ground with a sharp inhale the electricity and tingling started to travel up and down my palm and fingertips. i could feel the earth beneath me as if it were breathing, suddenly in front of me as i was crouched down touching the dirt the ground started raising the rotting smell getting strong and stronger, the pile of manure rolling off reveling 4 separate tied black bags, i stopped touching the ground soon as they came to surface. the rotting smell stinking, i changed back my teeth were normal my claws retracted my eye's back to normal. the smell was so ghastly my eye's were watering.

"well you asked where she was" opaline's voice crept in

her sentence took me back

"your kidding?" i said the shock kicking in.

i took a few steps towards one of the bags and ripped the cable tie open. the rotting smell was so strong i knew it wouldn't be long before the other's could smell it. using my t-shirt i held it up to my nose and mouth, whilst peeking inside the bag and as opaline had said.

Marion's head with her eye's wide open and her tongue ripped out was staring right at me.

i backed away, turned around

"don't be sick, don't be sick" i kept repeating to myself

i could hear the approach of the other's they could smell the rotting in the air. i walked over to greet them still trying to keep myself from being sick

"Natasha?" my father looked at me.

"i found marion" i said whilst shaking my head.

i grabbed luna kelly's arm as she tried walking by me to look, she was already pale looking.

"don't" i said

she looked at me, 

"it's not pretty" i then let go of her arm she nodded, she and marion must of been close, she let out a cry. her mother doing her best to comfort her.

"Ian get a wheelbarrow and take the bags to the family cemetery and bury her"

Alpha caine commanded

Ian nodded with respect

"shouldn't we...i dont know call the police?" Luna's kelly mother argued.

"and say what say was murdered by a werewolf?" i growled.

she looked around as if hoping the rest of them would agree with her i almost felt bad for her but my sympathy was with harry. marion was his family.

"Nathan, you help Ian" my father commanded.

"i feel sick" Luna sarah went on making her way back to the house

the three alphas my father, Caine and his cousin Zane standing in mumbling towards each other

i shook my head and walked away back to the house,

"did the demon do this because of the necklace?" i asked opaline

"didn't smell demon" opaline reassured.

yet it didnt help the guilt i was feeling.
