Ice cold

CHAPTER THREE

 MIRA

 I could feel my body moving. All I saw was the cloudy sky above my head. It seemed like it was falling on me. I suddenly opened my eyes, and all I could see now was darkness. I was still moving. I realised that someone was carrying me when I felt his broad shoulders. I leaned towards him and buried my head on his chest as hot tears began to flow freely down my eyes.

 I could feel my lips shaking as the tears I had pilled up since thus whole drama started began to flood my eyes. My eyes were hurting from how hot the tears were. 

 Soon, the body stopped moving and dropped me to the floor. I could see now. It was a little bit dark out there, but I could see slightly. I felt completely empty. Of course, my wolf, Shilo, was gone. I still could not believe it. 

 I began to sob again. 

 Jeremy pulled me close and hugged me tightly. He had saved me and carried me out of the hall. 

 "I am so sorry you had to go through all of that in the hands of my brother." 

 I sniffled in. 

 After crying for a while, I felt like I had cried all the tears in my eyes. There was nothing left for me to cry anymore. 

 "Mira," I heard his thick, calm voice as he grabbed my jaw and lifted my head to look at him. "I would help you with your revenge." 

 His voice sank in my head and resounded over and over again. 

 "What revenge?" I asked him. 

 "Your head is too busy right now to think about it, but you need it. I'm sure you will think about it later. Maybe, when you get home or whatever. "

 I exhaled deeply. I didn't say anything. I was unsure if I could trust the brother of the same man who had caused me so much pain in one day. I could not believe that today had happened. Why was I so foolish to believe that the alpha would ever like someone like me. 

 I was bullied by everyone who came across me. Nobody ever liked me.

  I only admired the alpha from afar, and the day I ever got close to him was when he bumped into me at the school cafeteria. I thought it was a coincidence, and my heart jiggled at his sight. I spilt wine over him while gushing over his handsome face. I thought he was a good person when he kindly accepted my offer to wash his suit. 

 "It was all planned," I whispered, and once again, tears began to drop down my cheeks. 

 Everyone in there knew that I had sex with the alpha. How would I live with this. They would taunt me and call me names. I would not be able to survive it. 

 "You need a shoulder to lean on," he spoke curtly. "You need a helping hand to achieve your revenge plans. You can not do this all by yourself. "

 I was slowly trusting again. I blinked slightly. 

 "I am here to help." 

 I gently wrapped my arms around my body. It was cold out there, and I was only dressed in what was supposed to be a party dress. 

 "I'll take you home first," Jeremy said, realising that I was already feeling cold. "Let me get my car keys and pick up a jacket for you. "

 He hurried out of my sight while I stood there. I didn't realise that my eyes and mouth were open widely. I was still in shock from what happened. 

 "Cheap whore," I heard a female voice as she walked out from behind one of the cars at the parking lot. 

 "You are on to my boyfriend now?" She mocked, her voice filled with so much hatred for me. 

 She was slender, white, and very tall. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She swayed her hips as she continued towards me, and finally stopped in front of me. 

 "I thought cheap people have the tiniest amount of brain in their heads. Jeremy would only use you the same way his elder brother did. Think, fool. You have a brain in your head, and not just a pussy between your legs." 

 I didn't know when I looked down at myself. I mean, between my legs. 

 She clicked her tongue as she stepped forward. My heart was racing in my heart. I saw her grabbing my hair and pulling it hard as everyone always did. Surprisingly, she didn't. She folded her arms under her breast and crossed her legs. 

 "I know you're cheap, but I won't have you giving yourself out to my boyfriend. I serve him enough," she paused for a while and stared intensely at me. "I would have alpha Lesely uproot your head and hand it over to me as soon as I set eyes on you anywhere around this pack." 

 My heart jumped, and my lips went dry. Her words got to me. I knew she wasn't blabbering when she said that. I had seen the alpha today. He would gladly accept whatever she'd say to him. Everyone hated me, including the alpha. He would gladly kill me like I was worth nothing. Indeed, I was. 

 "Run along, cat!" She ordered. 

 I didn't wait to say a word. I hurried out of the pack house. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I didn't have any family to run back to. I was an only child, and I was also an orphan. I wasn't introduced to any family or relatives. The only person who would look for me was Sharon. Her parents didn't care much about me, even though I lived with her, and we acted like twins. 

 It would take so much time running back to her. I could not send a mind link because, of course, my wolf was gone. I didn't need any of it. I just wanted to leave. Sharon would be fine. Jeremy helped me, and I also betrayed him by leaving. They all would be fine. 

 The most important thing was for me to be alive and safe. I didn't want anyone to be able to trace me. Not like they would try to anyway. No one cared about me. But it was better to be safe than sorry. I was completely exhausted, yet I didn't stop running. 

 Again, I had no money to take a cab. I would leave the pack on foot. I would keep running until I was at least two kingdoms after the pack. 

 My heart was racing, and I could feel the cracks in my chest. It felt as though too much air entered my throat at the same time. I had grown thick skin to the cold already. 

 I thought about Jeremy's words. He was right. I would return to take revenge. I was too busy to think about it earlier, but now that I did. I would come back here, and I would shake the pack. I would return, and by then, I would make sure that everyone would bow at my feet. The ground would shake at every step I took. 

 I would destroy the pack by the click of my fingers. I would cause havoc and generations to come would remember my name. I would bring death and anguish upon even the great grand children that would be born on my return.
