Addy’s POV:
I woke up super early. Five in the morning. It was still dark outside. My room was empty, but I could smell a lingering scent of the oceans salty sea and the musky forest was in the room. It smelled good, instantly calm my mind and body.
I must be trippin’, maybe my mom came back and left some incense in the room to help with my sleep. I shrugged off the smell and pulled off the sheets. I swung my legs over the edge and stood up. It took me a bit to balance myself since I just woke up. I stretched my whole body.
Wait, I’m not in pain! It is a little weird as I usually am prone to pain as I am human with no wolf.
‘Stop saying that, I am right here!’
Great I am going crazy too.
‘If only you would drop the wall.’
I sighed, annoyed, grabbing the clothes sitting on the table next to the bed and went to the bathroom to change. I used the toilet, then pulled the hospital gown off and the clothes on.
I want to go home and I am not sitting in the hospital any longer than I have too. I left the room, heading to the elevator. No one was around yet. There were a a couple of nurses around checking on the patients but I was able to dodge them from seeing me. I made it into the elevator and to the main floor. I headed straight out of the hospital without being caught. I’m gonna be in trouble my mom when she finds out I left without telling her but it will be fine. I could mind-link her but I just want to have a couple of hours to myself before I have to deal with people.
I walked in the direction of my house. I wanted to go to my favorite tree which was behind my house. There were a few men on the training ground already sparing with each other as I passed by. They stopped to bow to me. I bow my head back knowing that my beta status was the only thing compelling them to show respect.
‘Stop thinking they don’t respect you when they do,’ the voice in my mind scolded me.
I continued walking, ignoring the stares for the omegas walking around, as I finally made it behind my house and to my favorite tree. Kyle built a ladder, so I could climb up the tree without hurting myself. I climbed up the tree, sitting on the thick branch. I straddled the tree branch so I didn’t fall and sat looking out at the training grounds. I watched the sun rise as I sat in silence. It was peaceful as I could escape to be alone up here and no one could bother me.
Suddenly, I heard a powerful growl shake the tree and the ground surrounding me. s**t, I’m in trouble now!
“ADDY!” I heard my name being yelled by several people. I felt someone push on my mind-link trying to get through to me. I let the wall drop and my mind was flooded with people yelling and talking loudly about me. I grasped the sides on my head with both hands, only to lose my balance on the tree. I caught myself quickly though, rebalancing myself.
“ADDY!” I could hear my parents calling me. Their voices getting a bit louder as they used their wolves to scent me out. I looked down to see my father chuckling and my mother elbowing him in the side, while she glared up at me.
I climbed down, setting my feet on the grass, turning around to face my parents.
“I was-“ I started saying, but my mother’s glare shut me up. “I’m sorry,” I mumbled.
“Honey, we have to get back to the hospital,” my dad said out loud. I looked at him confused. I opened my mouth to ask why, when I heard a deep furious growl. Who is wolfing out right now? And why must I go back, I am fine?
“Addy you sneaking out of the hospital has cause a bit of chaos,” my mother scolded me.
“I don’t understand why I can’t just leave that place. I feel fine and I don’t want to go back,” I folded my arms across my chest, as I pouted, kicking the small pebbles in the dirt. “Stop frowning, your face will get stuck like that,” my mother warned.
“I’m fine with that,” I retorted. My mother growled, rolling her eyes and grumbling at me pushing her buttons. My dad look at me and smirked. I smirked, then went back to sulking when the hospital came into view.
“Please don’t make me go back,” I whined.
“ADELINE ROSETTA TALBOT, if you don’t get in that hospital this minute, I will drag in myself,” my mother warned, glaring daggers into my soul.
“UGH!” I groaned, loudly as I stomped pasted my parents and into the stupid hospital. I pulled the door open so hard, the door came off the hinges. I dropped the door, staring down at the door that was laying on the floor. What the hell! How, how did I do that? My mother ran up to me and turned me to look at her, grasping onto my arms so I didn’t look away from her.
She stared into my eyes, looking for something. She was scaring me. I tried to pull my arms away from her, but she was holding too tight.
I felt a strange feeling surge through me almost like electrical current buzzing through the top layer of my skin, as I kept struggling to get out of my mother’s hold.
My father growled, “Let her go, Lily!”
My mother hands instantly drop from my arms, but my body instantly arched back as my back bones broke and shifted. I let out a blood curling scream, as I fell to the ground, my bones still shifting. My body aching as I felt bones dislocate and shift into different places. My head was buzzing and I could seem to form words.
“Calm down and relax, Addy!” My father instructed, calmly stroking my hair from my face.
“Katreena, go find Maverick,” I heard my father tell my mother.
“Make it stop,” I managed to whimper.
“You need to relax, honey. Listen to the voice in your head, what is the voice in your head telling you,” he tells me, his voice calm.
