Unloved One

Departure

Nyssa pov.

I entered the house to get away from Theo as soon as possible. I took off my makeup, took a shower and got ready for bed. I couldn’t sleep for a long time, I thought about him and everything that happened tonight. Is he really sorry or did he just say that. After a while I fell asleep.

-Nyssa, get up, it's time to pack. - My mother woke me up.

-Mom, please, five more minutes. - I objected.

-If you want us to leave before dark, you don't have five minutes. Nyssa is 2 o'clock in the afternoon. -she said, laughing.

-What? How? Impossible that I slept so much. - I stood up in disbelief.

It was really 2 o'clock, Any wrote a message that she would come to help with the move.

I packed things in boxes and remembered everything. There were some good memories, but the bad ones erased them. I remembered every insult, tear, fear and pain. Despite Theo apologizing last night I wanted to leave, living with all of them brings nothing good. Relations between us would not last long, chaos would soon arise again. Any helped us and told us how we would have fun in the new house.

- You know, she could have a party at her new house. -she said, dancing.

-Any, we want to live in that house, not tear it down the first day. -said the mother with a laugh.

-Mrs. Esma, if that happened I would help rebuild. You know, I learned new spells. -Any replied with laughter and pride.

- I'm sure you are, but you better not practice at our house Any. - I answered her, pushing her aside.

We put things in the car, I turned around and looked at the house, hoping I would never go back to that hell again. I saw Theo standing at the window, nodded head in greeting, and turned to the car.

We came at dusk, the house was not big, but it was beautiful, there was a small lake next to it and behind the woods. It had a terrace where I already imagined sitting, laughing and drinking coffee. Bad days are behind me, this is my new beginning, a new page in my life.

- Mom, it's beautiful. - I said excitedly.

- Yes, Mrs. Esma, it's really beautiful. -said Any with enthusiasm.

We went inside and unpacked things, it was very late when we put everything together and set it up.

- Mom, I'm going to escort Any home. -I said.

- All right, take care of yourself. -she replied.

-Do not worry! -I exclaimed, closing the door behind me.

-Any, what happened to you and David last night? - I asked her curiously.

- Ah, sweetheart, I think I'm in love. -she said enthusiastically.

-Please watch out, he's a good boy but he's a womanizer, you know that when he gets bored, he finds a new girlfriend. - I told her worried.

- Don't worry, I'll be careful. We will go slowly, step by step and we will see. -she said, winking at me.

- How were you with Theo last night? What did he tell you? -she asked me.

- Nothing, he apologized to me and drove me home. -I answered.

-Nothing more? -she asked.

-What more Any? I moved away from him and all of them, I don’t want to know anything more about them. - I answered rudely.

Any was silent, I knew I was exaggerating, she didn't mean anything bad.

- Forgive me, I didn't mean it. - I said sadly.

-No problem. -she replied, hugging me.

I escorted her halfway and returned home. Halfway through, I turned toward the lake and sat down next to it. It was a quiet night, the sky was full of stars. Everything seemed nicer to me since I left the pack house.

I felt someone watching me, there was no one anywhere. I got up to go home but a feeling of discomfort still accompanied me. The faster I walked, the more I felt fear. If I could change, I would be much faster and I would not be afraid. I ran into the house and locked the door. Through the window I saw a dark shadow in the woods, she looked like a man, it could have been anyone. I thought that was what Theo's friends wanted to scare me with.

The next day at school I saw Theo get out of the car and rushed to him. It was an opportunity for me to ask him about last night.

- Didn't you say you wouldn't be an asshole to me anymore? - I asked him angrily.

-What are you talking about? -he asked me confused.

- About sending a friend last night to scare me. - I shouted.

- What friend? I didn't send anyone. -he said, narrowing his eyes.

-Theo, please. -I said, raising my hands.

-Listen, baby, if I wanted to scare you, I'd do it myself, I wouldn't send anyone. After all, I told you I was done with that s**t and I was sorry. -he said, pointing a finger at me.

- Don't accuse me of nonsense next time. -he said and left.

Theo pov.

I watched them pack things into the car. I didn’t feel anything, I was sorry for some things but nothing more. She better be gone, she's just causing me problems. That girl provokes me, her appearance makes me angry, we have never been on good terms, we have always been at war. We hate each other. I am the future Alpha and everyone has to listen to me and be afraid, and she does the opposite. He defies me, how the pack will take me seriously when a girl throws me off balance. I got a message from Ella, she writes that it was fantastic for her last night and that she is waiting for me to do it again tonight. I didn’t reply to her message because I have no desire for her nonsense. I got dressed and went to train, I need to get the anger out of myself, and training is the best way to do that. David joined me in training. If he doesn't seduce girls, then he trains. In fact, he is the only normal friend I have. He speaks and does what he thinks, does not procrastinate and does not lie.

-Theo. I fell in love. -he said breathlessly.

-Yes? - To whom? - I asked.

-Any, she knocked me off my feet last night. -he replied.

-Really? - I asked.

-Yes. -he replied.

- How long will it take? Week? Two? -I asked, laughing.

- Dude, this is something different. I felt a spark between us. -He said.

I paused and looked at him.

-Spark? In your pants or? -I asked mockingly.

- No, Theo, really, I feel like she's the one. -he said enthusiastically.

- All right, dude, time will tell. She’s not a werewolf so you can’t feel the bond you would otherwise feel, so I don’t know what to say. If so, you know I wish you luck. - I said honestly.

I came to the room where Ella was already waiting for me. She was lying half-naked in my bed.

- Ella, get dressed, please. I am not in the mood. - I said going to the bathroom.

- I'll cheer you up. -she said with a smile.

- Really, at least leave me alone today. - I said coldly.

Before I finished the sentence she was naked in the bathroom.

- I can't leave you alone. I want to be yours, I depend on you like a drug. Theo please make love to me. -she said, hugging and kissing me.

- Ella, let's clarify some things again. I don’t want to be with you all the time, I have my life and responsibilities, we don’t depend on each other. And you should find some hobby besides gossiping and annoying me. You get bored, we’re not tied with a umbilical cord, make friends and go with them. It would be sad if you were my mate and you had to constantly depend on me, I don't want that. - I answered shouting.

She came out crying, I know I was rude but I couldn’t anymore

- Well, we've solved that, at least for a while. -Jake said happily.

- I don't understand her. -I said.

-Hahaha what exactly do you not understand? That she's stupid? -he said mockingly.

- She's not stupid, she's far from it. -I said.

- You're right, she's not stupid, just not smart enough. -he said sacrastically.

I rolled my eyes, he was right. I took a shower and went to sleep, I have to go to school in the morning.

I came to the parking lot and here's the trouble. Nyssa rushed over to me, as if about to kill me.

- Didn't you say you wouldn't be an asshole to me anymore? -she asked me angrily.

-What are you talking about? - I asked, I had no idea what she was talking about.

- About sending a friend last night to scare me. - She looked me in the eyes angrily.

- What friend? I didn't send anyone. - I answered in astonishment.

-Theo, please. -she said, raising her hands.

-Listen, baby, if I wanted to scare you, I'd do it myself, I wouldn't send anyone. After all, I told you I was done with that s**t and I was sorry. -I said, pointing a finger at her face.

- Don't accuse me of nonsense next time. - I said and left.

I don't want to argue with her. Especially since I don't know what he's talking about. What friend? I didn't send anyone to scare her. I have no reason to. But it doesn't surprise me that she doubted me. The day started great, right after good morning she attacks me.
