CHAPTER 7

Autumn's POV

Arriving at the dinner table, I couldn't help but hesitate a little to stop myself. I'm not as powerful as anyone here but there's something pushing me. The fact that I've seen all of this in my past life and died so many times has taught me not to regret doing anything.

The only thing I'll regret is not doing what I wanted with them which is what I'm going to do right now. Just looking at them makes me so angry. All of them sitting together and looking at me like they've never done anything wrong. Their faces tell me everything I need to know to be strong. I can't forgive any of them.

Agatha immediately stood up and I know what's coming next when she stands like she's about to lay an egg.

"Aria! Everyone has been waiting for you for a while and you're just coming? Don't you have any respect for the Alphas of this pack?" She whined, making me clear my ears as the noise was too annoying.

"I heard you invited me for dinner, that's new. Are you sure you invited me or did I mishear it?" I questioned them, ignoring the attention seeking idiot.

Adonis gave me a gesture to sit, "Of course, you're here for dinner. Why won't we invite you for dinner? You don't even need an invite for dinner with us."

Knox nodded, "Come on Barbie. The food is going to get cold."

I scoffed, "I think you all are forgetting something here. I never eat with you and you suddenly want me here for dinner? Do I deserve it? Have you forgotten?"

I had a flashback again, to the times when they told me I never deserved it.

"Can I have dinner with you uncles?" I asked after days of being ignored by them.

Adonis scoffed, "We indulged you too much and now you don't know your place. You really are unrepentant!"

"You want to eat with us, do you deserve it? A bully like you has no place here!" Knox added to my insults.

I looked at Dante, hoping he would give me a chance at least but the result was the same.

Dante looked at me with disgust, "Don't you ever think of coming to this table again if you know what's good for you. Until you've learned, you're not allowed here!"

While I left dejectedly, I could see Agatha laughing at me from behind them. I was in so much pain and cried, but I still tried not to blame them. I blamed Agatha for deceiving them and tried everything to help them secretly.

But what did I get in the end? I was rejected, humiliated, suspended, sentenced, tortured, banished, framed and then killed. Nothing good came out of associating with them. I haven't even thought of how I'm going to repay them for everything, and they want to keep me here?

"Aria... That wasn't what we wanted to do. We were just trying to get you in line and also—"

I cut him off, "And I decided to stay away from you. Please, leave me alone and don't ever bother me again."

Dante stopped me, "Wait Aria! Don't be stubborn. Just eat dinner because I know you haven't eaten for days."

I looked at him in disgust. He knows I haven't eaten for days which means he always knew I was suffering even in the past. Yet, he chose to ignore me like that. And now he's trying to make it seem like I'm stubborn?

"You knew?" I asked him, he looked guilty. I've been too busy since I came back alive, trying to survive that I forgot I originally haven't eaten for days.

Adonis looked at him, "She hasn't eaten for days and you didn't say anything about it? Just because she was being punished didn't mean she should be starved!"

I almost laughed. Now, I'm convinced that this is a parallel universe. There's no way in the real world would they be concerned about me like this? Is this supposed to move me and console my soul for everything they did to me so far? Am I supposed to just take it from them?

Even if this is a parallel universe, it doesn't change the fact that they were horrible to me in the past life. I can't let their new ‘nice guy’ tatics deceive me. I jerked his hands off.

"Don't touch me please, your hands disgust me." I said harshly to him.

"Aria! That's too much for you to say! How could you say he disgusts you?" Agatha complained trying to add fuel to the fire. "I know you hate me, but you can't do that to him."

"Can you just shut the hell up and stop moving your dead skin cells to talk to me?" I snapped at her.

If this is going to make them angry, then maybe I should do more things to make them send me out of the pack.

"Are you sure you want me here with you?" I asked them again.

Knox nodded, "Yes, stop saying you don't deserve it. You deserve to be here more than anyone."

I laughed at the sweet talk. "Okay, then don't regret calling me here."

They thought I was going to sit down as I started moving around the table. I stopped at the head and pulled the table cloth all of a sudden. I used all my energy to pull everything, making all the food and drinks fall from the table.

There was large crashing sounds, shattering glasses and shattering food. They were shocked as they immediately moved back to protect themselves. However, Agatha could move fast and got injured by it.

"WHAT THE HELL ARIA!" Agatha was the first person to scream, seeing what I did.

She already screamed and scared everyone before realizing what she did. She was good at acting like she was the gentlest person in the world and she would never be vulgar. Now, she showed her true colors in front of everyone.

"What's wrong sister? Do you want to argue with me?" I asked her.

"You—"

She looked at everyone, completely embarrassed by what she did. I haven't even shown her complete nature and look how surprised they are. I'm surprised they're alphas too with such useless and easily manipulated brains.

The only thing that's left now is for them to get angry. Why are they so calm? They should be torturing or punishing me by now. If they refuse to get angry, I'm going to push them shamelessly until they do.

"Aria, why would you do something like this? We're supposed to eat dinner and you destroyed everything!" Dante scolded me.

That's it Dante! You're exceeding my expectations for you and I love that you're always angry. But why are the others not saying anything? Are they idiots or what? I'm deliberately making them mad and they're not mad? But they get mad when I don't even try? Are they really just losing their minds?

I nodded, "Since you invited me for dinner, then you should be able to eat it my way."

"What?"

I went down on my knees, looking at all the food on the floor. I pointed towards it, then I looked straight at Agatha who had that panicked look on her face. She knows very well what I'm talking about.

"What are you doing on the floor, stand up! You'll hurt yourself!" Adonis tried to stop me but I pushed him off.

I grabbed a handful of food which was already on the floor, scooping it in my mouth with a smile on my face. Tears finally rolled down my cheeks as I ate the food on the floor, knowing this was how I have been eating for a long time.

I remembered how the maids mistreated me. They threw my food on the floor for me to eat like a dog under the orders of Agatha who in turn told me my uncles had her do it.

"Why are you doing this to me Agatha? I've never been bad to you! I treated you well and you treat me like this?" I asked as she ordered some men to force me into eating from the ground the first time?

They all know what I'm doing, what's the pretense?

"Aria! Stop this!" Adonis and Knox pulled me up, stopping me from eating more.

I laughed hysterically while they pulled me and they watched me strangely. I wanted them to get mad about me disgracing them but this isn't the reaction I want from them. They don't look mad but...guilty?

"Am I embarrassing you? Why don't you just send me out immediately? Banish me from the pack!" I shouted at them.

"What if they actually banish you Aria? Be careful!" Agatha warned hypocritically.

"Then they should! Inviting me to eat when I've not eaten here for a long time! What are they trying to do? Banish me!" I shouted again.

Why would they be guilty? What right do they have to feel guilty after everything they did to me? Because I was busy teasing them earlier, I almost forgot everything. But now, I remember because of food. Do they really not know the reason why I wasn't eating for days?

"We already said you're going nowhere!" Dante shouted back at me.

Adonis tried to touch me again and I moved back, "Calm down Aria. You're taking things too far. Why are you doing this over having dinner?"

I sneered, "You really don't know why I'm doing this? Don't you know how disgusted I feel when I see food on the table? I prefer eating on the floor to a plate, I'm used to it!"

"What's that supposed to mean? Why would you prefer eating on the floor to a table? Do you have a eating disorder or something?" Knox questioned me.

I gasped dramatically, "Oops! You found out!"

Adonis frowned, "You have a eating disorder? Since when? You've never had that and you never told us—"

"Enough!" I cut him off, "I'm sick and tired of listening to your useless antics about how I should have told you. Do you all have memory loss or something? You really don't know if I told you before or not? You really don't know why I developed a eating disorder?"

"Aria—"

"I eat on the floor every single time and it's disgusting. I only eat when I'm extremely hungry and prepared because eating scares me now. Did you have to invite me here to mock me? Is it fun to make me suffer?"

I looked at Agatha who was both glad I was suffering and scared that the brothers weren't paying attention to her. I'm doing all of this and they're not even mad. What is wrong with them? Are they mistaking us?

"Aria, I really want to say that—"

"Shut it! I'm not interested! I want to leave this pack and that's it! I'm going to leave no matter what you do, I hate you all!" I snapped and pushed him out of the way.

I provoked them enough and they should announce sending me away soon. I can't wait to get out of here, then I'll settle the scores with everyone who hurt me in my past life. There's no way I'll ever let them find out we're mates!
