A Broken mate

Teenager

The voice of my mother banging my door woke me up.

I opened my eyes and slowly sat up.

" Where am I? I mumbled.

Looking around the room, surprise overtook every sense of my body.

This is my room. I mean it's my old room before graduating from highschool.

How can this be?

The moon goddess promised to give me a second chance, but why did she take me back to when I was still a teenager.

It was before I met Toby.

If I am not wrong, I am supposed to be sixteen years old by now and in my final year of highschool.

Walking towards the mirror placed beside my dressing table,I examined myself.

My face was smooth and fair unlike how it was before my previous death.

I still had baby fat on my face.

Looking at myself, everything felt surreal.

The moon goddess sure knew how to surprise people.

I was surprised, in a good way of course.

If I could find the so-called purpose mentioned by the moon goddess, I would be able to live normally.

" I'm coming." I replied and I heard my mother's footsteps disappearing.

Since life gifted me with another chance, I was sure going to embrace it and live my life to the fullest.

I wasn't going to let what happened repeat itself.

For me to achieve that, I had to keep my distance from some things and people, Ellie and Toby being at the top of my list.

Yes, in my past Life, I was friends with Ellie.

We attended the wolf school together and became friends.

Although we were from different packs, we maintained our friendship.

That was until I turned eighteen years.

That was when everything changed. I realised that Tobias was my mate but he rejected me, stating that Ellie was the woman he loved.

I could still feel the remnant of the pain hit my heart, but I hardened my resolve.

If I want to stay on the safe side, I will have to start by numbing my senses and keeping off some people.

Looking at the pyjamas I was wearing, I frowned.

They were more like a seven year old's pyjamas and not a teenager's.

They were printed with childish flowers and drawings.

I didn't need anybody to tell me that perhaps even my panties underneath would be printed with cartoons.

I liked to wear those, until I hit eighteen years.

Stepping to the shower, I finished my business, dressed in my school uniform before going downstairs.

" Princess!" My father's sweet voice greeted me, making me wonder if it was all an act or what?

He didn't think twice before disowning me so that he could keep his land safe.

After Tobias threatened to attack the silvermoon pack, he readily ordered me to not step foot in the lands again.

The same man who abandoned me was calling me princess?Like I was the most important thing in his life.

Maybe it was all fake?

I didn't know that I had halted in my steps and was at this point observing my father.

" What's wrong Bella?" His voice jolted me from my thoughts.

" It's nothing, father." I replied hesitantly.

The word father coming from my mouth to him brought a sour taste in my mouth.

A father can lay everything down for his children, but my father chose to sacrifice me to maintain peace.

The silvermoon was not strong compared to the midnight pack, we could have managed to fight for long before admitting defeat.

Even if midnight wins, they would have suffered some losses too..

But my father did not try or dare challenge Tobias.

It's like he was passing a silent message that I wasn't worth it.

" You don't look well." he added, attempting to feel my temperature by holding my forehead but i moved back, avoiding his touch.

My father was clearly taken aback by my rejection and could only lower his hands awkwardly.

" I am fine." I replied and walked to the dining table.

Since he chose the pack over me, he might as well not bother me.

I didn't want to associate myself with him anymore, not when I remembered his betrayal.

I expected him to be my safe Haven when I was faced by storms in Life.

He was supposed to shelter me and protect me but he chose to abandon me when I needed him the most.

" Breakfast is ready.You should eat before going to school. The chauffeur is waiting for you." My mother said,

My mother was not the Kind of mothers that you would want.

She was cold to almost everyone, including me, her daughter.

She took good care of me, yes, but I never felt the motherly Love a child longed for.

I don't know whether she partook in my father's decision to chase me away from the pack.

Most of the time, she went around doing chores without saying anything to anyone.

" I'll eat on my way to school." I replied.

I didn't want to sit at the table with my father.

My mother had the maids pack the food for me.

I received it and walked away from the house without saying anything else.

I know my father must be wondering what was wrong with me but I didn't care.

The chauffeur drove me to school. As an Alpha's daughter, that was one of the privileges I enjoyed.

The school was all familiar. The old gate and classes welcomed me.

In my past life, I had finished school without any issues.

I then managed to secure a degree in a human college.

A degree that I never got to use because Tobias ordered it to be cancelled after I was accused of killing Ellie.

" Bella Bella." A feminine excited voice called me as I made my way to the classroom.

I didn't need to turn around to know who that was.

I made no effort to halt and continued to walk away, ignoring Ellie who was calling after me.

I could still remember her motionless body lying on the ground with deep claw marks.

The same claws I was accused of making on her beautiful body.

" Why do you keep ignoring me when I call?" Now it was evening and we were dismissed from school.

I had managed to ignore her the whole time only to have me cornered at the school gate.

" Did I perhaps do anything to offend you?" Her pitiful voice almost made me get swayed but I stopped myself on time.

She was still the same like before, using her pathetic voice and fake tears to win others over.

But I was far from the naive Bella from before.

I didn't want to believe that she knew nothing about what happened back then?

How come she calls to meet me to discuss something about Tobias and text Tobias at the same time asking for my help?

Things didn't add up at all and I was hell-bent on finding out what happened back then.

" I didn't hear you." I replied.

My voice is indifferent and emotionless.

If there's something I learnt after coming back, it was to keep my emotions hidden.

I was never the open book others could read.

" That's just an excuse. I called on you several times and you ignored me." she whined pouting her lips.

If it was the Bella from before, I would have embraced her, assuring her that she was thinking too much.

I wanted to admit to her that I was ignoring her, so what.

But I stopped myself.

At that minute,an expensive car pulled at the entrance of the school, catching the attention of everyone.

It was a luxurious model, the type that cost millions.

Although my family was well off, my father couldn't afford such a car.

The Windows pulled down and a handsome face came to view.

My heart jumped upon seeing who the owner of the car was.

It wasn't out of excitement but dread.

What was he doing here?

During her past life,he never showed up until she was eighteen years old.

The first time I saw him was during my graduation.

Ellie and her attended the same college and graduated together.

At that time when I laid my eyes on him, I fell in love immediately.

To me, it was love at first sight.

You don't Know how happy I was when I learnt that Tobias was my mate.

But that happiness was short-lived. He openly told me that he will never be my mate because he had someone he loved.

That brought pain to me and my wolf.

" Anyways, I'll see you tomorrow.Brother Toby is here to pick me up." Ellie said and jogged to the waiting car.

Brother? Heh? That's ridiculous.

" Brother or lover?" I sneered.

I was glad that she left me alone. She was becoming a nuisance to me.

The car sped off and I swear I saw Toby look my way.

I didn't care what he did with Ellie or didn't do.

To me, he was as good as dead.
