Chapter 6

1066 Words
Amara Magnus stood there with very angry eyes, fighting against his wolf who threatened to come out of him. I shivered at the way he looked at me — anger, disgust, probably hatred. I didn't understand his expression but one thing I was sure, that they were not positive. I tried to pass him and went inside the house, but suddenly he grasped my arm. My eyes widened in fear. I looked at his face, waiting for what he wanted to say as his hold was giving me pain. "What were you doing," he asked coldly. I blinked. What did I do? "I am sorry Alpha, but I didn't understand what you are saying. I was planting the flowers." He chuckled, but it was hollow — more like mocking. He released me with a jerk and went inside the house, and I still stood there like a fool. Why was he angry? What did I do to earn his hatred? I wished the earth would swallow me. I had nothing left in this world anymore. I came inside feeling so low, wanting to rest, but did I have that option? My whole day had just passed by working. In the evening, Chloe came to my room and sat on my bed. I was shocked because she rarely came in — only when she wanted to insult me or want my help . A fake smile tugged on her lips. "How are you doing, Amara?" she asked. My eyebrows knitted together. Something wasn't right. Why did I feel this was her cruel plan against me? Why would she ask about my wellbeing? I gave her a fake smile too. "I am fine, Chloe, but why are you asking? I guess the sun rose from another direction." She laughed. "Oh, Amara, you are so funny. Am I not allowed to meet my sister?" Zia felt restless too. Where was she going with this conversation? I cleared my throat and tried to look like the meek omega I was supposed to be. "Of course, Chloe, but we both know you are here for something else." She smirked. "Oh, my sweet sister. I knew only you could understand me." I just stood there and didn't say anything. "Did you meet your mate?" she asked suddenly. My eyes widened in surprise. Did she know her fiancé was my mate? I hoped not, because if that happened she could kill me and I probably couldn't save myself. She was a beta female and a great fighter. I shook my head in denial and avoided looking directly into her eyes. I was a terrible liar. She jumped on her seat. "I know you don't have a mate." Why was she happy about that? "I think your mate died, Amara, or he didn't leave here. I have a feeling you would meet him somewhere else." Somewhere else. I still stared at her in confusion. "Well, Amara, you are coming with me to Red Stone Pack as my personal maid, and who knows, you might find your mate there too," she said happily. I stilled. Wait what. Going with her to the Red Stone Pack. "Why?" I finally asked her. "What why?" she pouted. "You know my every work and thing is managed by you. I felt lost without you. When I go to Magnus's pack with him, I need you to take care of everything." She paused, and then a mischievous look crossed her face. "Besides this, in the future I would be the mother of Magnus's children. I'll need a nanny too, and you are the only one I can rely on," she finished with her selfish speech. But my heart felt like someone had ripped it from my chest. Her and Magnus's children. I would have to be their nanny and watch a happy family. A heavy lump formed in my throat. I held my tears back. "Mother is not agreeing, she said. Without you, what would she do? But as my sister you are coming with me. Tell her you are not leaving here. Besides, she is always threatening to throw you out, but I would not," she said, her smile never faltering. I didn't know what to say. I could never bear the pain of seeing my mate with her all the time. Death would be better. I nodded. She jumped and hugged me and walked out of my room. Finally my tears slid down my cheeks. There was no way I was going to the Red Stone Pack. I had to do something. Morning took its sweet time to arrive. I was happy — today I was going to spar with Tom. This was my favourite time. It made me feel alive and strong. Chloe and the other wolves had already sparred, but I had to wait until I finished my chores. I hadn't seen Magnus today. Chloe told Dad he was in his room and not feeling well, so she had taken his breakfast up to him. What happened to him? Was he fine? I smiled painfully. Here I was, worried about that cruel Alpha who had threatened to kill me and refused to accept me as his mate. I was probably the biggest fool in the world. I walked to the ground and a smile broke across my face. Tom was warming up when I arrived. "You are not a good friend, Tom. Already started without me," I teased him. Hearing my voice, he turned and waved his hand. "Hey, I just came. I was waiting for you. I know you were busy," he said grumpily. I waved my hand dismissively. "It was fine. So what are we doing today?" He made a fake thinking expression. "What about running in wolf form?" Zia paced in my head, running was her favourite time. Tom's wolf, Kol, was her good friend too. We shifted and ran and played, then shifted back to our human forms, ready for sparring. We took our places. Tom lowered his hand and started running at me. I dodged his attack.. this was always his opening move. I moved forward, ready to take him down, but he attacked back. As we collided our balance gave way, I fell to the ground and Tom landed on top of me. Just as he was about to move away from me, we heard a loud and furious growl.
