BROKEN BOND

Chapter 4

Chapter 3

The rest of my day is a blur classes, tests, and experiments by the end of the day I was exhausted as hell. And Katherine couldn't stop gushing about her man the entire day it was annoying but I had no choice but to listen or she would throw tantrums about how I didn't care about her anymore

As we're approaching the parklands Kat asks me to drop her off cause she has to meet him somewhere

I can't help but imagine what it will feel like when I finally find my mate tomorrow. That same weird feeling hits again. This unsettling feeling like something bad is gonna happen tomorrow I brush it off as I walk into the house.

The pack house is bustling with people mostly. Omegas walk past me bowing their heads respectfully. I spot my mum in the living room with Aunt Carrie's mum they seem to be excited about whatever they're talking about

“Hi mum, hi aunt Carrie” I say hugging them from behind

“Hey babyyy” my mum says hugging me first

“How's our birthday girl preparing for her big day” Aunt Carrie asks excitedly

“Ion know aunt can't shake off this weird feeling about tomorrow”

“Oh baby it's just anxiety we were all anxious during our time” mum says patting my shoulder

I smile

“What's for lunch” I ask walking into the kitchen an omega bows while walking past

“Serve urself baby there is a lot to eat from now till tomorrow” she says before signaling an omega over

“What would you like to eat miss” she says lowering her head

“Uhm.. Mac and cheese is fine” I say sitting in the dining

“So love you have an appointment with the salon for tomorrow then your makeup, I picked out your outfit oh you'll look gorgeous in it” mum says squealing excitedly like a 5-year-old. One would think she was the celebrant

“Okay mum” I say rolling my eyes

“Tomorrow is gonna be a long day” I mutter as I head to my room

I quickly freshen up and change into fresh training gear and tie my hair up in a loose bun. Grab my water bottle and my backpack and head out to the training field. A few people are running laps and the others are sparring

A few notice me and greet

I put down my water bottle put on my headphones and start running laps around the field. After more laps than I could count, I'm exhausted so I pick up my bottle and head out into the pack grounds.

I walk past the nursery and see children running around

I walk in to say hi to them, once they see me they all run to me and I'm surrounded by lots of children

“Miss Raven what a delight to see you” the matron says

She's a sweet elderly lady with a limp

“Oh hi, Mrs Thomas” I say hugging her. She used to look after and take care of me when we were little and she's been fond of me ever since

“I was just taking a stroll so I decided to drop by but I'm heading out now”

“That's so sweet of you dear, happy birthday in advance” she says waving

“Thanks” I smile as I head out of the nursery into the woods

I walk for a while into the woods till I finally settle down beside the lake.

I lie down and stare into the sky till I doze off

I don't know how long I slept but when I woke up it was already dark. I looked at the time on my phone 8:43

Shitttt!!! Mum will be freaking out by now

As I stand up to leave I hear rustling in the trees then I see it ; a pair of eyes. My heart skips in fear but my curiosity gets the better of me so I move forward. It's a big brown wolf. And it feels strange like it's crawling to me. It stares at me with emotions its eyes filled with emotions I can't tell then it turns and runs away

“Wait” I call out but it doesn't stop

“That's super weird” I say to myself as I walk back to the pack house

I can hear my parents' voices from outside they seem to be talking about something. I try to sneak past them and into my room but my mum catches me

“And where are you coming from young lady” she asks hands on her hips

“Went for a walk” I say climbing up

“Till this time? I was worried” Mum says frowning a little

“Come and have dinner” Dad says

“Uhm.. I've had dinner with Kat already” I said lying through my teeth

Mum narrowed her eyes then finally let me go upstairs.

The truth is I wasn't hungry at all

Maybe I was anxious after all and for some reason, I couldn't stop thinking of that wolf and I couldn't shake off the thought that I'll see it again

Eventually, I drifted off to sleep
