stay away

TOMAS’S POV

“Tomas you have to stay away from Miranda” Cindy said as she walked into my room and I wondered how she knew I had been with Miranda, to begin with

“What makes you think and believe I was with her?” I asked

“Because I passed by her room and she practically smells like you” she snapped and I could see the hurt in her eyes. No matter how much time Cindy and I spent together my scent seemed to never rub off on her and this could have been the time for me to point out that my scent rubbed off so easily on Miranda because I was her mate but I decided not to add salt to the wound

“Sorry I just go there to torture her” I lied, I just couldn’t tell Cindy that I was finding it hard to keep my hands off Miranda

“By having sex with her? Tomas I am not stupid you enjoy spending time with her” she said sobbing and throwing herself on the bed dramatically.

“I am sorry darling I said as I sat next to her and kissed her check “I will get over it soon enough, I promise it’s probably just a phase,” I said

“Yes it is” she said biting my neck slightly and then whispering some words that I couldn’t really make out but they just made me feel so happy and they made me realise why Miranda was a bad idea for me.

I was suddenly filled with so much hatred for Miranda and I felt like she had been taking advantage of me in my weakness. I realized that even when Sandra told me that she was in heat it had been all a lie. It was just a trick to get me to sleep with her and I had stupidly fallen for it.

“You are not to visit Miranda again unless I am with you, do you understand me Tomas?” Cindy said as she sat on my lap and I nodded, my words were suddenly failing me.

“And you are not to ever touch her” she said and I nodded

“Good, now show me how much you missed me” she said as she pushed me on the bed.

A very big part of me always attempted to resist Cindy’s advances but I was somehow too weak to fight back or resist her. It was like Cindy had some kind of hold on me and I couldn’t break free from it.

 

MIRANDA’S POV

I had been feeling horrible for the past couple of days and I just didn’t know why. Tomas hadn’t been to my room for almost a week and I found myself missing him, I often had to bring myself back to reality by reminding myself of everything that he had done to me and how I still had to get my revenge once I got free from him and his witch.

I had come to the conclusion that Cindy was a witch because there was no explanation as to why she would have so much control over Tomas to the extent that he would deny me his own mate and chose her. But knowing that he had been bewitched meant nothing to me because bewitched or not, I still felt like if Tomas had been willing to accept me as his mate despite my rank in the pack he wouldn’t have been so easy to bewitch. So I know it may sound a little unfair but I still felt like he had to take responsibility for his actions, he chose to not accept me and Cindy manipulated him further into hating me.

At first I thought hat if Cindy had not manipulated Tomas into hating me and rejecting me completely we would have found a way to be together some day. But now I knew that there was no possibility of a future for the both of us if Cindy was still in sight and in control of his little head and the only jope I was holding on to at this point was the hope that I would get a chance to avenge myself.

Sandra was still coming in regularly to feed me but I got the feeling that would soon end, Cindy seemed to be back in charge of the part of the palace that ran my life. Cindy was crueler than Tom and she hated me with a passion,  she had hated me from the time we were little kids when my parents were working for father at their huge mansion.

At first I thought she hated me because I was at a lower class and often viewed as the dirty poor girl. But in recent days I had come to realise that she probably just hated me because she saw me as a threat from a very young age, but now she had proven to me that being Tomas’s mate meant nothing to her because she could still get her way with him.

If Cindy was a witch, I wondered where she had inherited that from but then again we never knew her mother. Rumour had it that her father left the pack some years ago to find a better life for himself but then he returned with a baby and that he told everyone that the mother of the baby had died.

So in a way it made sense to me that Cindy would be a witch because her mother was not alive to dispute that fact or prove me wrong.

“Miranda, how are you today?” Sandra asked as she served me my dinner

“I am fine, I thought you were not supposed to be speaking to me,” I said

“Yes but you don’t look ok” she said

“I am fine” I said

“You didn’t eat any of the food I brought for you” she said and I wasn’t sure if that was a question or a statement. Sandra was a little too observant for my liking.

“Sandra, why hasn’t Tomas come to see me?” I asked

“Cindy has forbidden him from coming in here to see you,” she said

“Oh I see” I said

“But do not worry yourself because I have been instructed to make sure you don’t miss a meal,” she said her face lighting up but I didn’t really want to eat, I just wanted Tomas

“Miranda, please don’t be angry at me for saying this...” she said

“What is it Sandra?” I asked her annoyed, now I understood why Tomas never wanted her to speak to me

“Have you thought of the possibility that you might be pregnant?” she asked and my jaw dropped open.
