Her Chosen Mate

Chapter Eighteen

The next day after school, I left for the pack clinic while the boys went home. I have gotten permission from the alpha that I would not be coming over to clean the pack house because I would be visiting the clinic. Aunt too has informed the person in charge that I won't be coming for my duties today.

" Hazel, what if she found out what Ervin has been doing to you, how do you plan to defend yourself for not telling her?" My wolf asks. She was always the one that worries the most about me, my dragon too does care in her own way.

" She won't find out, she would only realize that you have been underfed," My dragon argues with my wolf.

I have both wolf and a dragon they are the ones helping me to be strong and keep going. They never make me feel lonely when I am down. They gave me a feeling of being special.

" How do I explain why I am not eating well, do I tell her that Eva is not giving me enough to eat or that I barely sleep? You know it will cause problems for me, oh! What do I do, how do I avoid the test," I am seriously worried she would find out what I have been hiding, and I am not one to open up about what would bring grudges between people. I have been taught to love people and not hate them.

Before I forget to introduce my wolf and dragon, I discover I was a hybrid and don't belong to this pack and I wondered who my parents were because no one told me anything about them. My wolf's name is Haze while my dragon's name is Harper. Both wolf and dragon told me that my parents are still alive and that the moon goddess had a reason for hiding me here in this pack and that I will be privileged to meet with my parents one day. I have always looked forward to that day when I would finally unite with my parents.

I saw the pack clinic close and my heart started to beat fast as I got close, " Calm down, she is not going to eat you, she is just after your well-being," Haze says to me, she felt my fear and tried to keep me calm.

When I got to the clinic, I went in and check to see if she was in her usual seat but she seem to be busy, so I decided to wait for her. While I stood there some of the people who passed by me looked at me like I was a criminal, some even growls and some snarled at me. I was beginning to feel uneasy, that is the look I always get the people since the death of my father and some would throw things at me. I have always avoided being in a crowded environment or surrounding. The boys whenever they were with me, always fight with them in my defense. I was discomfort and wish I could just leave but my Aunt would be angry if I don't get to see her today. I endure all they did and hid away from everyone when no one was looking at me so that I can stay away from being seen. I could not ask anyone of the nurses around if she was in the clinic because I was not one of their favourites and I might end up getting insulted. So I stayed away and waited patiently for her. I know she would not ask me to come if she was not going to be in the clinic.

After waiting for God knows how long, I heard her speak to a nurse and I rush out to meet her, " Aunt, good afternoon," I greeted her

She turns to me, look at me, and smiled, " Good afternoon, are you just coming in now?" She asked

" No, I have been waiting for you, I came here a while now," I replied

" Why didn't you ask this nurse sitting at the receptionist area, I gave her an instruction to bring you to me," She worked, but I could not tell her what I have been suffering at the hands of the pack members.

" I didn't see her when I came," I responded avoiding looking at the nurse in question, I saw her sitting there when I came and I could not go to her when I saw the look she was giving me, so I just sneak in to check if my Aunt was in her usual seat.

" Have you had lunch?" She asked me and I shook my head to indicate that I have not eaten. Only if she knew lunch was not something I have since the death of my father, dinner has always been leftover. I am only to cook and wait until everyone finishes eating before I am allowed to eat the little that was remaining but the boys usually sneak in food to me when Eva was not in the room. They always try giving me food to eat from their lunch box but I refuse most times because the food is not even enough for them. That is what Eva did when she discovered that the boys were sharing their food with me, she reduced the quantity of food she gives to them.

" Come with me," I heard my Aunt says taking me away from my thought. I went with her to the room where she brought out a flask and gave me food to eat from it. She watched as I eat my food in silence, I was not comfortable with the way she was looking at me like she could get some information by looking at me.

When I was finished with the food, I wanted to go look for where I could wash the plate used for eating but she stopped me and collected the plate from me.

" How are you feeling today?" She asked me

" I am fine Aunt,"

She kept quiet for a while and clears her throat before speaking again, " Now I want to hear the truth from you, I decided to keep quiet yesterday when Leo brought up the issue concerning Ervin and you because I want to have a lone time to discuss with you, what is going on?" She asked me and my heart skip a bit, I suspected the matter was still going to spring up, and I curse Leo in my mind for being noisy.

" There is nothing, he just wants his room to be taken care of by me alone. He said he doesn't want too many people in his room," I lied and hope she would believe me. But Haze was not happy that I refuse to tell her.

" Do you think I was only born yesterday? Hazel, I need to know what he is doing to you because I can smell him all around you," She enquires from me. I almost ran out of the clinic, I never thought some of such could happen, I felt my lies were solid and it will not be found out easily. How did she know, she kept her eyes fixed on me and I decided to play innocent, I started to sniff my body like I was finding it hard to believe her.

" I don't smell like him, maybe it was because I use to wash his clothes and also clean his closet, I can't smell him," I tried to hold on to my lies, hoping she would believe me.

" Do you know that my family is the best scout and warrior of this pack and we are known to be the number one in the pack, did he threaten you? Is that why you are not speaking out? I give you my word, nothing will happen to you or anyone close to you. Everyone in this pack knows that Ervin is a p*****t and he is a spoilt brat. Now tell me what he is doing to you?" She persisted and I discovered there was no way out of this, and I decided to tell her all I have been through since the death of my father, he will continue to remain, my father because he treated me like a true father would do, I would never forget him.

" Aunt, he has been doing lots of things to me, he touch me in places where you asked me not to allow anyone to touch me and put his thing in my mouth, he always threatens that he would kill everyone in my family if I tell anyone about what he does to me, Aunt everyone in this pack hates me and I always stay away from them to prevent them insulting me. In school, I am being bullied and teachers don't do anything to stop them," I explained to her all that I have been going through with tears running down my eyes. It felt like I was a plague that everyone doesn't want to come close to me. My Aunt pulled me to herself and hold me in a hug and started patting me to calm me.

" Shh! Shh! Stop crying, you should have had faith in me and told me everything that you are going through. I will put a stop to it and you will be able to move freely with no one to bully you," She console me and assured me that she would put a stop to it.

We chatted for some time and she took me to run some tests on me and promise to come to speak with Eva that she would be taking me into her house so that she can give me proper care. I just hope this will not bring a misunderstanding between her and Eva.
