Her Chosen Mate

Chapter Fourteen

" Get up, you witch," Eva hit me hard on my stomach, life suddenly changed for me a few months ago when I watch my father being killed by a big bird splitting out fire from its mouth, he was set on fire before my very eyes, but I was glad that I was able to kill the one who dares to kill the man who has used his life to protect me while he was alive, he has thought me that the power I possesses was to be used in protecting herself and others, he made me understand that it was gift given to e by the moon goddess to save lives and that I should always use it for good and never to use it for something bad. I made sure to burned the rogue to ash and when news got around that there were two burnt bodies in the pack and being the only one found at the crime scene, everyone called me a witch, even my mother supported the allegations levelled against me and said I was a witch and that she has seen me do it before. I was not given a chance to defend myself as everyone started saying awful things about her and ever since then I have become a slave in the pack and was treated as such

Flashback

" I know you are a special being and I want to tell you that you are not to use your powers to harm anyone unless they want to harm those who you care about and it is to fight a good battle and not a bad one," My father have made it his duties to guide me how to use my power before he was killed by a rogue who was trying to take me away from him.

" Yes daddy," I said to him, I was happy because I had thought there was something wrong with me because my gift was not something rare in the pack and I had told it was evil of me to have such powers but my father made me understand that I was given the power to protect the innocent just like he does most times for the pack. That she was a special person with a kind mind and that was why the moon goddess gave me the gifts I have.

Present day

Realization hit me after the death of the man I have come to know as father, that I was not his daughter but he found and picked up in the forest and no one knew who my parents were.

Eva made life a living hell for me because she believed I was the one who killed her mate and as such, I has to pay for my crime. She never listened when I tried explaining to her that I was not the one who killed her mate, she felt I was lying to hide my crime but she knows I never lied to her because she thought me to be a truthful person and I Wonder why she choose to see me as a liar.

" Why are you still laying there? Common go prepared something for the boys to eat before they go to school," I was made to sleep on the floor of the sitting room without any blanket. My tasks was to wake up very early and prepares breakfast for the boys before I am allowed go to school and on my return from school I went to the pack house where my tasks were to cleans the floor and wash clothes for everyone in the pack house. I barely eats anything nutritious, all I am allowed to eat was only a slice of bread and some water to go along with it. My brothers always sneak food to me when they were in school and assist me to clean the pack house because our father made sure he created a bond between them before his death.

I quickly stood up and went to get breakfast ready for the boys and cleaned everything in the house before leaving the house for school, I had no friends in school because everyone sees me as a murderer and a witch who murder the head warrior of the pack, so no one associated themselves with me.

I was always been bullied in school because of the story associated with me and I have never for a moment thought of using my power to defend myself because my father told me that everyone in the pack was my family so I should not use my power on anyone and I was afraid of being called a witch again.

I lost my self-confidence due to everything I was going through at the hands of everyone in the pack.

My sitting position in class has always been at the back seat to hide myself so no one would notice I was in school.

How I wished father was still alive so this suffering would stop. I discovered my wolf a few days ago after the death of my father and dares not make it known to anyone because it was something strange that my wolf was awakened at the age of twelve which is not something that was common in the pack as I knew that usually at the age of sixteen everyone is expected to have their wolf, so I kept it to myself refusing to tell my brothers for fear that they might start believing that she was a witch truly for having a wolf at such age.

While hiding in the back seat I was spotted by a girl name Maria who has always been envious of her beauty. Maria wants to make my feel like a worthless person because the twins never gave her any attention because all they were concerned with us, my welfare and we're always defending me from the bullies.

" Get up from that seat, who gave you permission to sit here, do you wish to be beaten, you dare sit on my seat," She shouted at me while hitting me hard on my cheek.

I not wanting to cause any attention to myself, so I quietly stood up from the seat and saw an empty seat and wanted to sit but another girl prevented me from sitting on the seat.

" Do not even think of sitting close to me," She warns. I saw that it was a plot to beat me if I sit on any seat so I decided to seat on the floor. They both look at themselves and smirked. I ignored them and concentrated on the teacher who just came in. The teacher to pretends as if she did not see me sitting on the ground.

When it was the school closed for the day, my brothers came to accompany me home but met me seating on the floor, this did not please them so they rushed to me and asked to know why I was sitting on the floor.

" There was no chair available for me to sit so I had to sit on the floor," She lied to the boys who knew she was not going to tell them the truth.

" You don't have to sit on the floor, you should have gone to get a seat in another class," Authur said to her, he was not happy with the treatment being given to me after the death of our father and he knew I was not the one responsible for father's death and wonders why everyone suddenly turns on me. He was present at the scene, though at a far distance, and saw all that happened, our father thought them before his death that they were to protect me whenever anyone tries to bully me so I would not be irritated and forced to use my powers. He knew I possesses a special power that our father told them that the moon goddess had gifted me those gift and that they were to ensure I uses it for good.

" Haz, I hope you are not trying to hide things from us?" Leo asked me and my heart skip a bit.

" Let's go, you know I have to do my shore at the pack house before going home to prepare dinner, and I don't want Mum to be angry with me again," I said as I change the topic and I knew they would not want her to be punished again. They have tried to stop their mother from being mean to me but she refuses to stop because she believes that I was the reason her mate was killed and she was not ready to forgive her.

The three of them hurriedly left the school to the pack house to help me do my shores before going home to help me with dinner, their mother had tried to stop them from helping me with the shore but did not succeed because the boys took after their father who was also very kind man.
