How did I not see it before. I can't even remember fully of my childhood just bits and pieces.
"What do you w-want?" I'm shaking under his hold.
He leans down to whisper in my ear "You'll find out soon enough my pretty. Soon."
"I'm not your pretty. That just sounds creepy. Let go of me!" I'm trying to twist my arm out its not letting up.
"Don't make the same mistake your parents did. I own you. Your mine and will be no matter what."
I'm stunned. My parents? "what do you mean my parents?" voice cracking.
"Soon you'll find out." he takes my hand and grazes it across his lips.
I'm completely freaked out at this point and just yank my hand quickly away and run out the door. as I'm running down the hall I can hear his laughing echoing after me.
I don't stick around. I just run out the side door of the school run into the forest. I just keep running until my body is burning. When I finally stop I just curl up into a ball on the mossy floor against a tree put, and keep crying.
I keep thinking about those words echos of my parents. Did he have something to do with their deaths. Why did he say he owned me. He can't I have a mate out there.
creep. just a f*****g creep.
It's getting cold now but I'm not hurt and stuck in my head to want to move. at this point could just hide with my sorrows and could care less what happens.
I keep crying away not aware there were footsteps approaching. I still don't make any motion to move.
"Hey..are you okay?" from the voice until I looked up and noticed it was Eric. This is greaaat.
"I'm fine just out for a run and over did it. catching my breath." I'm trying to cover my face with my hair looking at the ground.
"It doesn't look like your fine." he looks off into the forest as if trying to see something.
"it's really nothing for you to concern yourself with." I hug my legs tighter to my chest. I should've grabbed my sweater.
"Something that troubles one of my pack members; let alone a omega, to run full tilt into the woods with no one else is my concern." you can feel his authority, yet can see worry in his eyes.
I don't let him know I just look at the ground and agree with him.
I hear deep sigh, I glance up through my eyelashes to see him running his hand through his hair. He's gorgeous no question about it. Even with him deep in thought. can see his eyes flash blue and white. He must be talking to his wolf.
"Let's get you back. You shouldn't be this far in the forest without a wolf. There are rouges you know." he made a gesture to follow him.
I decided it was best not to go against him. He is the new Alpha soon. Why cause more issues for myself. I'm exhausted from lack of sleep let alone from mental stress.
As I go to stand when my balance starts to wobble. I feel a hand slink around my waist to hold me for support. I notice Eric is now supporting me.
"How about I just carry you? You can't even stand." without being able to object he bends to slink his other arm under my legs, head no resting against his chest.
"Holy crap your freezing!" he sounded surprise. "Doesn't your wolf keep you warm?"
My wolf? doesn't he know? omegas don't get a wolf. "I'm a omega." I'm confused by his remark.
"so. omega, warrior, whoever you all have a wolf." he's giving myself a look.
"no. omegas don't have a wolf. We're low on the ranking system." I'm just stating a fact.
"Well I'm sorry burst your bubble. But everyone has a wolf. Doesn't matter their rank. You may not be able to shift. Though you should still be able to talk to her, heal, stay warm." he ran his eyes across my body as if to gesture towards this prime example.
I've never talked to my wolf or felt her. I look away down now. If we all still had our wolves then where was mine? Why was I the only one without. I knew Chelsea would gain hers since mated to Dominic, but she already had her and knew? she never told me.
"Hey hey...don't start crying again. Your not alone out here I'll get you home okay?" he's trying hard to sooth talk me I can't help just replaying everything from last few days in my head. Now this to add the cherry on the cake.
"I've never had a wolf." I barly breath.
we stop moving. "what did you say?" he asked.
"I've never had a wolf. Never talked to here, never felt her, winters I've always gotten sick." I'm still starring at my hands wondering what this would even mean.
"That can't be possible. You smell of a wolf. She's in there somewhere." He was scanning my face as if trying to find something different.
I don't respond. I'm enjoying the warmth that I'm surrounded in. As if he knew that I wasn't going to respond. Eric contiued to walk towards my place.
I don't know when but somewhere along the walk home I started to drift off trying to snuggle closer to the warm that was carrying me.
I heard a deep chuckle then a whisper in my ear "Sleep sweetheart." I let the darkness consume me.
