I haven't eaten in six weeks and four days. The last meal I remember is of the morning of my sixteenth birthday, the day that I even contemplated ending Lisa's life as soon as I had woken up from an agonizing sleep.
Even with my back and my head in pain, the most painful thing was the most stubbing feeling I still had in my heart, like it had been cut.
At some point I did plan the murder. It would be easy too. I was an alpha's daughter and I was stronger than her, I was even bigger than most she-wolves that were older than me.
I hadn't been able to shift into my wolf again since I first shifted on that miserable day. When I woke up in the clinic Ginger had still been whimpering in emotional pain and could not heal me as fast as she was supposed to.
It took me two weeks to fully heal my achy body but my heart was never going to heal, and it took encouraging Ginger that we had to take revenge to get her to wake up. To say she was not compliant was an understatement. The last thing she wanted us to do was hurt Luca. She was still hoping that he would change his mind and claim us, but I had lost that hope. If the moon goddess's bond failed nothing could change his mind.
I haven't seen nor heard of him in the weeks that followed. I spent all my time in my room as I could not master the strength to go out.
Today was different though, I had motivation. It was time to plan and take action. Luca would pay for what he did to me.
"Let's give him time," Ginger whispered as I applied lipstick to my lips infront of the mirror.
I wore my favourite sleeveless little black mosquito dress with my best stiletto f**k me heals.
It was prom and I planned to entice. I hadn't been to school these past few weeks and my mother was sick of making excuses for me to the headmaster. I had finished my exams online with a force from my father the alpha as he would not have me not graduate.
None of them knew what I was going through. My mother had once asked me about the incident and if I had met my mate and he rejected me. Of course I denied it, but I suspected she knew, by my behaviour or lack thereof.
"There is no time Gee," I whispered and blew a kiss to the mirror." Prince Luca will burn."
"If you dare to do this, I will never forgive you."
"Oh. So you rather he be happy without us after what he had done to us."
"I am ready to forgive," she wiggled her tail and sat on her ass.
"No."
I had automatically fallen in love with Luca Milano on my sixteenth birthday, and on that very day I had falled in despise with him. I hated him before but now I despised him.
Like they say, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
"Look who decided to grace us with her presence," my older brother said as walked into the kitchen. My playfully slapped his shoulder and gestured for me to join them at the breakfast bar.
"Morning miss Kyla," Sarah, the housemaid smiled at me as I sat down and offered me a plate.
"Where are you going dressed like that?"My father and alpha of the Halfmoon pack muttered.
"Prom." My reply was stern and to the point.
My father was a fair ruler, ruthless, but fair, but he was mostly my father and my friend first, before alpha.
"Dressed like that," he raised his brow and bit into his bacon.
"I think it's a nice dress," my mother offers.
"Thank you mother," I smile at her and turn to my father, "I'll have you know I'm sixteen and we agreed I could have a little freedom."
"Because we thought you would have met your mate by now."
"It's only been a couple of weeks," Reagan, my brother said."She'll find him."
"Where is Carol?" my mother tried to change the subject by asking about Reagan's mate.
He had met her two years ago and his birthday and they did not waste anytime in completing their bond. They fell in love on first sight, which was not surprising they were absolutely compatible, damn nerds.
"He better be an alpha," my father continued, "to marry you off to a lower class pack wolf would be a waste."
My mind drifted to Luca, as it always did and my heart clenched in my chest and I couldn't breath.
How can it still hurt so bad. Just then I heard groaning in my head, male groans and tears slipped out of my eyes as I touched my chest trying to ease the pain. I was having a panic attack that I now understood happens when your mate becomes intimate with someone else after they had met you.
I could feel a commotion all around me but all I could hear was blood rushing through my ears.
"Make it stop! Make it stop." I could barely hear myself screaming as I repeatedly banged my head against a hard surface.
I felt arms come around me and heard my father's voice as I struggled against him.
"Shhh shhh. You are safe, you are home. And you are going to be okay."
"Why would he do that to me?" I repeatedly cried.
I felt numb in my father's arms as he laid me on my bed. Ginger was not whimpering at usual, she looked angry now. Which was new to both of us.
"I want blood," she muttered.
I remained silent as my father sat with me. My smaller hand in his humongous one.
I smiled at that thought, making him sigh in relief and kiss the back of my palm.
"You met your mate, didn't you?"He whispered after a while.
"He rejected me,"I sniffed.
He remained silent before nodding.
"Who is he?"He asked, "I'll kill him and you'll be granted a second chance mate."
I giggled. Knowing he would too, and that would start a war that has been put to rest for two hundred years.
I did not want that. Death would be too kind for Luca. Finding my mate had taught me how it feels to love and to lose someone you love. And if he loved that wallflower as much as it seemed, then she was what I wanted him to lose, not his life.
"I am with you," Ginger muttered, "It won't be easy. It might hurt us to hurt him but it can't be worse than his rejection."
"I want to destroy everything he treasures and let him keep his life."I muttered to my father just as a car bell rings outside indicating that my ride as arrived.
Charlie is my best friend and my father's beta's son.
He was turning sixteen two weeks from now and a few weeks ago he had been excited about it.
We had been planning our secret party for months. Secret to avoid unwanted guests.
"Unwanted like we had been unwanted to Luca and Lisa's party?"
"I'm not missing my prom," I smile as my father helps me off the bed.
Let the games begin.
