“P-packing?”i questioned. My eyes wide at the possibilities of what that mean.
“Angel you are going home.” He softly said as if that was just a given.
He continued when he saw me frozen looking for words to say.”In a week I will come to get you.”
“Goodbye for now Angel.” He started wrapping his arms around my waist using them to pull me closer to him as he buried his face in my hair.
“Mine.” I heard him mutter in my hair.
A moment after I tried pulling away and he let me, softening his grasp. I didn’t want to look at him again, I didn’t want to let him see the way my eyes were watering, so I simply turned and walked away from him.
I rushed to the car where I looked down ignoring my mum’s questions and my father immediately shushed her, putting his hands on her arms, pulling her away from me gently.
The ride home was spent in silence, despite the fact that I want to scream and let the inner turmoil. I sat quietly, pushing back my tears.
I am having mixed feelings.. I am happy I am finally going home with my parents and be with them but for only a week. A week! And I am back to my cage.
As soon as the car stopped, I got out waiting for my mum to unlock the door before rushing to my room.
That night I cried silently for everything I have lost. I cried for hours using the pillow to hush my sobs.
I heard my parents talk about the situation too before they finally fell asleep but I stayed up till the early hours of the morning, until I had completely drained myself .
My parents were upset, their only child taken away from them. My chest ached as I bit my lips harshly, refusing to let them hear me cry. They did not need to know how much this is hurting me.. they didn’t need to know how much it hurt to have everything you have ever had, could ever be snatched away from you in moments, and I would never let them know.
I was physically incapable of crying any longer, my chest aches with a hallow feeling, throat patched, eyes swollen.
I fell into a restless sleep.
The days were passing by so quickly, I had only two days left of freedom and I planned to live them fully.
My parents had promised me never to to bring up Alpha, the morning after the ball when they found me in bed, my pillow soaked in tears. I had told them what that man had planned for me, sobbing into my dad’s arms and since then, that was the taboo topic.
I had been hanging out with Eva and spending quality time with my family. Although part of me wanted me to stay alone, but I couldn’t afford that.
That man was a tyrant, and I, simply a possession to him. I knew I would never see my loved ones again from the moment I step foot into that castle.
Wolf mate sometimes allow for their mate to visit their family . A wolf is extremely possessive of his mate by nature. They didn’t like the thought of their mate thinking of, let alone needing another. Their mate was everything to them and they wanted to be everything to their mate.
This man was known to be absolutely ruthless, incapable of loving no one and I was to spend the rest of my days with such a person.
Everywhere I went, I got pitied glances from people even the most power hungry wolves from the werewolf community, I knew looked at me sympathetically. But those were the courageous ones, others avoided me like the plague,crowds parting where I walked.
It only worsened the way I felt, I was clearly an outsider now, treated like the Alpha coinin Dulphus himself. Already my own identity had been stolen from me, I wasn’t just the human girl who would do as she pleases unnoticed. No longer Diana Grace Bridgeton, now I was only the mate of the infamous coinin Dulphus. To some, crossing me as the easiest path to self destruction, to others I was the girl doomed to eternity of misery.
I heard the doorbell ring, indicating that Eva and Adam are here. We planned to have a movie night and to eat the most unhealthy of junk foods.
I opened the door to see Eva and Adam my closest make friend holding bags of God knows what.
I rushed to help him but Eva held my hand stopping me, leading me to the bedroom and I threw Adam an apologetic look from past my shoulder.
We cued up a horror movie, dimming the lights to the point where the room was pitch black setting up all the different types of chocolates and extra butter popcorn.
We covered ourselves with a huge thick blanket. I sat in the middle and as the movie progressed, I was completely squished by both my friends and all three of us were under the blanket.
Me and Eva were gripping into each other as the crazy axe murdering spirit chased after the girl.
Adam had given up trying to act brave and was currently hugging a pillow whining about watching an action movie.
I felt my heart swell up when I realized this was most likely the last time, we would all be together like this, because the next time I would see them all was when they bid me farewell.
My dad and mum walked into the room to check up on us but noticed my face.
I cling onto my daddy sobbing and I think they have realized that I was not just crying for the movie and they all embraced me tighter, my mum, Adam and Eva joining into the hug.
I closed my eyes to take a mental note of how all of them feel holding me..
