past secrets.

feelings

Melivia POV

It's been a week since i last talked to Augustus. That day i showed up to his house to talk about our plans, but i still haven't heard anything back. I guess is a good thing, i haven't exactly found that lady yet. I wonder what she took from him. She must be powerful or stupid to be messing around with a hybrid —an alpha of all strong creatures.

*One week earlier/ flashback

"Good your here, do you have any drinks i could really use one." I said.

"I still don't understand how you found out where i live."

"I have my ways. Enough waisting time, let's get down to businesses."

"Thats a good idea. I need you to find someone for me, a woman named julia Verlize. She has something i want, something i need."

"What is it?

"A person. Thats all you should know for know. Find her and bring her to me."

"Ok. And in return you will work for me."

"Hahaha! Your joking. I told you i work for no one, if anything your working for me, I'm an alpha i don't take orders from anyone."

I stood up and sat next to him.

"Its pretty obvious that you need me." I said in a seductively tone. "I would find whoever it is that you need me to find, and i will please you in anyway— no attachments of course just a little fun. Even an alpha should relax once in awhile."

"Mmmm tempting, but i don't trust witches. He said standing up, away from me. "Now. Enough playing around and waisting time. What do you really want?

"The Golden's. Do you know who they are?

"Of course i do. They own luxurious hotels, the owner mr. Arnold Golden is an alpha of another pack. What do you want with them?

"They murdered my husband 13 years ago. They blamed him for the money that went missing, kicked him out of their pack and murdered him?

"Interesting. Do you have proof that it was them."

"They exiled him out of their so called pack. A pack is supposed to stay together not apart. They blamed him for something that he didn't do without any proof. I know they did it, i want to take everything away from Arnold. I want him to feel empty the way i felt, i want him to know the feeling of losing someone he loves, and more."

"Hmm. So you want me to kill his wife?

"Yes. But not before helping me ruin everything he's worked so hard building. His reputation. Everything."

"Then we have a deal. We'll partner up work together and get what we both want, know if we're done here you may leave i have a lot of other things to do and not enough time."

I stood up and walked towards the door, but before i left i looked at Augustus dead in the eyes. "If you betray me. I will show you no mercy."

He smirked. "Same goes to you love.

*End of flashback

I continued going over papers and signing things. Like the Goldens i also own luxurious hotels and a clothing store named His, hers, and yours. I have to make sure that everything is ok at the clothing store and hotels. Make sure we make the right amount of money sign contracts to partner up with other companies and just keep it growing. I'm very carful when it comes to trust. I trust absolutely no one. Not even Ashely my own daughter, because of her the love of my life was taken from me... She could have help...she could have...she didn't... If only.

"Mother."

I zone of, but hearing her call me mother brought me back to reality.

"What do you want, I'm busy."

"Just wanted to see if you needed my help with anything."

"Pff! Why would i need your help, when i really needed it you where nothing but useless to me."

"When was that?

I looked at her for a while, she looked back at me with a confused face. Does she not remember what happened the day her father died?

"Nevermind." I said. "I have thing to do go away."

And she did exactly that. No questions asked, no nothing she just walked away. I blame her. i don't know why but i do, and because of that i can feel us growing apart.

Ashely/ next day

I can't stop thinking about what my mother said to me yesterday. She needed my help and i was useless. What does that mean? Is this why she hates me? I can't think! What did i do, or didn't do to please her? I was walking to my reading class not really paying attention to the things around me, just walking and i felt someone bump into me.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry." Said a girl that i knew all to well. It was Onnie. I didn't say anything to her i just kept looking at her with the perfect poker face waiting for... I don't really know what i was waiting for.

"Ashely. How are you?

"Fine! I said and started to walk away.

"Wait! She said and i stopped, i don't know why i stopped, i don't know what it was that i was waiting for or expecting from her, but i stopped.

"If you want to talk... I'll listen."

"Why would i talked to you?

"You just seem off, we use to be friends. I can tell when something is bothering. You zone of and pay attention to no one. Nothing. You have done this since we where little."

"Let me make this clear to you. I am not your friend, i mean are you kidding. You know what i am just like i know what you are. Your week and useless, why on earth would i ever be friends with someone like you?

"Right. Was all she said. And walked away.

I didn't want her to walk away. I wanted to talk to her like we use to, i wanted so much to just let my emotions out and tell her how i really felt. The pressure of having to be perfect all the time to please my mother, but nothing i do ever being enough for her. The longing of having what most of my friends have, a family. They don't have to be the best, but at least be there when i need them. The loneliness i feel inside my heart, because no one knows me better than onnie. I pushed her away because mother made me, and i know i have a choice i don't have to listen to mother,but... Deep down. More than anything. Just once i want her to be proud of me, to hug me, or smile at me. Just once. So yes. I kept and will keep pushing everyone away until i get what i want. It may be stupid to some people, but it isn't to me.
