Fresh wound

CHAPTER TWO

 MIRA

 Once I was outside, goose bumps began to appear all over my skin. It seemed as though the house had been shedding me from cold all along. I felt cold tringles all over my body, and my whole body suddenly began to vibrate from the cold. 

 I looked down at myself. I had come here to get introduced finally as tye alpha's mate, only to get humiliated and rejected. I wanted to run home quickly so I wouldn't freeze under the cold weather, but I realised that my feet began to freeze first. 

 I neither came out with a bag, nor did I even have money to board a cab. I had trekked all the way here, hoping that alpha Lesley would drop me off after the party. 

 I wrapped my arm around my body and began to walk towards the thick, high gate that guarded the mansion. My whole body was shaking terribly, I could not understand what was going on. 

 "Mira," I heard a familiar voice sing my name. 

 I turned around to see Alpha Lesley's younger brother standing there. I wanted to keep walking, but I realised that my legs could no longer move. I stayed still against my wish, and he caught up with me. 

 "Mira," he called again as he finally closed up with me and grabbed my hands. 

 My fingers were as cold as I ice, while his was warm. I suddenly began to feel warm. The warmth of hus hands quickly spread across my body, enough to make me to be able to move my legs again. 

 I didn't want to let go of his hands. 

 "You're truly his mate?" Alpha Jeremy asked. 

 I stayed quiet. He already knew the answer, and I had no strength to argue. 

 "And he actually...?" He paused and cleared his throat. "My brother slept with you countless times?" 

 I slowly nodded my head. 

 He pressed his lips hard and stayed quiet for a second. I noticed that his grip on my fingers tightened a little bit. 

 "Well, the alpha can not reject you now," Alpha Jeremy spoke. 

 I turned around to look into his eyes. 

 "You're not just feeling cold, Mira. You are just about to lose your wolf, too. Your wolf is too weak, and can not take rejection from an alpha." 

 "So what should I do?" I asked. 

 I could hear my heart now pounding in my chest. The music from the party began unusually loud. I could hear laughing and chattering from different angles to the party hall. My head began to spine. 

 I thought I was sinking, so I quickly held tight unto alpha Jeremy. 

 "Please, save me," I whispered in pain. "Don't let my wold leave. I'm weak enough already. How weaker can I get?" 

 "I am giving you strength, Mira, but it would not last for long. Come here. I'll take you back to my brother."

 We walked back into the party hall, my fingers still tightly locked in Jeremy's. 

 "Ahan," I heard one of the girls giggle. "The cheap sluty omega is back here. Haven't anyone told this disease that the party is over now and she can leave?" 

 I gulped down hard on my saliva. There was no way I would let their tiny little words get to me right now. It was the last thing I was bothered about. 

 We stopped in front of Lesley. He was seated on a couch, surrounded by girls, giving him body massage and shaking their bodies like snakes in front of him. Another girl was seated on his thigh, feeding him shisha. 

 "Lesley, you know what would happen if you reject this innocent girl like this. Please accept her back for the time being. We would figure out how to go about it after this party." 

 Lesly furrowed his brow in confusion as he sat up. All along, he had leaned backwards with his arks spread across the chair. The girl began to sip the shisha as he prepared himself to speak. 

 "What is going on here?" He asked. 

 He was clearly pretending not to have heard Jeremy earlier. I could feel almost everyone's eyes on me. They were all staring at me. I was the centre of attraction. 

 "Lesley, stop this madness right now," Jeremy barked. 

 I slowly pulled my hands away from his, and my knees gradually lowered until they touched the floor. I began to freeze again but ignored it. 

 "Please," I begged. "Do not let me lose my wolf. It's all I have." 

 Lesley burst out in a loud roar of laughter. He laughed for a few seconds while I stayed there, watching him. 

 "Your wolf was never useful in the first place, Mira. Who can you attack with it?" 

 He stood up and walked towards me. He stopped inches away from me and slowly leaned downwards. 

 "You're worthless, Mira."

 He inhaled sharply and looked around before facing me again. 

 "Yes, you!" He paused again. "Mention a single soul who your wolf would be able to protect you from." 

 I tried opening my mouth but figured that I could only move my lips. My voice was gone. 

 "See?" He mocked further. "None!" 

 He tried to walk away, but Jeremy grabbed his arm. 

 "Don't do this," Jeremy pleaded on my behalf. "How can the alpha be the one hurting his own? Father entrusted this pack in our care. What happens if we fail him?" 

 "If we are being honest with ourselves, do omegas need wolfs?" 

 He giggled sarcastically. 

 "Of course, they don't. Especially wolves like the trash kneeling by the side. She's cheap. I can not accept such a thing as my mate. If you like her so much, why don't you take her?" 

 "Lesley, you know it doesn't work like that." 

 My neck was already hurting from the posture. I tilted it slightly so that I would be able to see the brothers. 

 Lesley gently moved his eyes to the part where his brother was holding. 

 "Take that hands off before I break them," he ordered. 

 Jeremy quickly took his hands off his brother, allowing him to go. Instead of leaving, he turned to me again. 

 Again! 

 "You're a cheap slut. A rag! You're nothing, Mira. I feel disgusted that I let my stick into you. But then, it was fun. You tasted so good. There's nothing more I need from you since I already had a taste. Go away forever!" 

 He pocked my head, and I was too weak already. I fell to the floor, and everyone who had been staring all along burst out in a loud roar of laughter. Lesley hit his shoulder hard against his brother's before walking off. It was a bad idea after all. Lesley would never accept me back. I only returned here to humiliate myself the more. I shouldn't have come back.

 My head began to spin. I thought about a lot of things at the same time. I heard multiple voices laughing so loudly that I almost thought they were all playing in my head. The music became even louder. 

 I could feel my wolf slipping away slowly. How could I let this happen? 

 I tightened my fist and began to grit my teeth in pain. I shut my eyes tightly and tried to keep Shilo in. I struggled with her until she slowly left my body. I gasped before passing out.
