you were right ivy I shouldn't have treated Liam like he was my dad I shouldn't have treated him like that I didn't mean to hurt him.
' but you did we told you, Mia '
I know and I regret it.
' Why the sudden change of heart '
I felt pain and disappointment when he walked into the room and I knew deep down I was the cause of it I was so focused on seeing his bad side to prove that he was just like my dad I didn't notice that my actions were pushing him in that direction.
' Mia you are not foolish you knew exactly what you were doing but I guess I should be happy since you noticed your mistakes earlier '
There was a soft tap on the door "come in."
A guard who looked older than I walked in "Luna your car is waiting for you"
he said with his head bowed I nodded and stood up to follow him out of my bedroom the staircase was filled with guards everyone bowed their heads as I passed I guess this is how a Queen felt.
' if Liam hasn't already come to his senses 'Ivy commented in a sharp voice.
" This way luna."
"please call me Mia," I said to the guard.
" I am not allowed to call you anything but Luna" oh I guess Liam like to show who was boss.
"What is your name," I couldn't call him, guard it was weird.
"Jake ma'am" I nodded at him as we walked into Liam's office, he was sitting behind his desk looking like the powerful Alpha he was Mason was sitting on the couch by the window and Noah sitting in a chair facing Liam there was an empty one besides Noah.
"Alpha the Luna is here," Jake said bowing down in respect before Liam dismissed him with a nod and a wave of a hand. He looked like a Mafia boss right now than like the Alpha of the largest and powerful pack.
"Liam I-" he shot a cold look that way that had me stopping in my tracks OMG he was going to reject me in front of everyone.
"You're leaving with Noah, Jake and Owen will be your guards for the time being," He said not looking at me.
I'm sorry Liam, please. nothing no response I tried looking at him to see if he could hear me but his face was expressionless.
"Liam-" again he cut me off.
' Alpha Liam ' he said in an emotional less voice. I f****d up this time.
Alpha Liam -
' Speak loudly I can't hear you ' I closed my eyes momentarily gathering strength.
"Alpha what about you," I asked him the embarrassment I felt he was treating me like I was a common member of the pack.
' Isn't that what you wanted to be just a member of my pack I mean you didn't want to be my mate right and now you don't want to be treated like a member which you wanted to be right ' I shook my head I felt like my heart was being ripped apart.
I'm sorry Alpha.
"Noah, take care of her," He said dismiss both of us.
we silently walked to the car five black SUVs were waiting for us Noah got into the one in front and I was taken to the one in the middle I turned to Jake.
"where is Olivia," I asked when I didn't see her in the car.
"Miss Olivia is in the car behind us " he answered looking at me in the rearview mirror.
"Can she ride with us?" I asked politely looking at him he said something and after a few minutes, Liv came in.
"Liv!" I said hugging her she hugged me back tighter.
"I don't want to leave Mia, I don't want to leave him I love him," Olivia said crying on my shoulder and I couldn't be any soberer than I was at this moment it doesn't mean if I don't want a mate my friend didn't to she was just scared of being mated to someone like Mason I should've convinced her to stay I should have done something inserted of using her fairs to my advantage.
"It's okay Liv they are going to come back for us," I said brushing her hair.
we spent half of our ride that way, Olivia sobbing and me comforting her it was weird how the tables turned so quickly. and the rest was spent in silence, I had to make things right if not for me but for Olivia.
I felt a light tap on my shoulder I must have fallen asleep I opened my eyes to see that we had entered the pack grounds we've been gone for a week but it felt like a decade ago everything changed but yet stayed the same my parents were waiting for us at the packhouse along with Olivia's parents the car that Noah was had already arrived and they were waiting when our car came to a stop, Olivia ran out to her parents I wish I had that kind of relationship with mine Mrs Clinton always tried her best and I loved her for that.
"Mom!" I said getting out of the car to hug her she grabbed me and pulled me into a tight hug.
"Ohh my baby is finally home," she said kissing my forehead.
" he didn't hurt you," Mrs Clinton asked worriedly I shook my head.
"No mom he didn't touch me" she pulled away to check for any signs of any injury she frowned when she saw my mark I quickly pulled my t-shirt up to hide it she took off her Cardigan.
"Thank you " I whispered to her and she just held me tighter I turned to look at my father and saw him looking at us with confusion on his face.
"She felt cold honey " he didn't look like he believed what mom said but he just nodded and continued to talk to Noah.
"come on let's go home " Jake and Owen were always close.
*****
"He marked you," My mom asked softly I closed my eyes and sighed and nodded.
"With consent right" I looked at the glass in front of me as if it was the most interesting thing I've ever seen.
"Nothing is done with consent with werewolves ma and you know it too," I said still looking at the glass.
"Take a bath and wear something to hide your mark your father must not find out or he will lose his mind" when hasn't he treated me more like an object than a human being.
"Okay mom," I said standing up.
"Mia" mom called out.
"Everything is going to be okay " I nodded and walked to my room.
walking up the stairs I saw Noah's door cracked open I softly knocked on the door.
"Enter " I walked into he was laying on his bed in his basketball shorts, he was lean and well built but Liam was muscular he looked and felt like an Alpha.
"Are you going to f**k me with your eyes or are you going to tell me what the f**k you want in my room " I snapped my eyes back to his face.
"you didn't tell Liam about Logan why " I asked him shocked.
" what would I get out of telling him something everyone is aware of" I knew it wasn't but it hurt to hear him say that he was my brother he was supposed to protect me but I need protection from him.
"Thank you " I thanked him and walked out of his room he didn't need to tell Liam about Logan but he could've but he didn't and that little act of kindness from him meant a lot to me, I was walking to my bedroom when my phone vibrated.
*welcome home I told you in going to get you back slut* a message popped up on my phone there wasn't a caller ID the numbers weren't saved either anybody had these numbers even my family, I felt like my world was spinning too fast and I could not catch up to it.
