Chapter 7: Not Going Back

Rebecca's POV

.

.

.

'Mate. Mate. Mate is calling for us.', I heard Maira's voice at night.

.

'Maira', I called out her name. "We are not going back to Jasper at any cost," I announced my final decision. I knew I was being unfair to her but she had to understand. Instead of understanding me, she started taking control of my body. I knew that because of the mate bond, it won't be easy to control her. She will feel a pull from Jasper's wolf until he rejects us or he dies.

I also knew that I won't be able to control her for long.

.

'I am sorry, Maira.', I whispered and slowly injected the wolfsbane into my vein. The pain was unbearable but I was ready to bear any pain but I won't return back to Jasper. Not now, not in the future. Soon, I couldn't feel Maira but along with that I started feeling drowsy and fell.

.

I remembered the first time when I met Jasper, my mate. I never knew that all this time or that time, he knew who I was and it was all his trap. That he planned to make me fall for him.

How could I be so stupid that I couldn't see all these coming?

.

I didn't know when I was consumed by darkness.

.

.

.

"What do you mean by using wolfsbane on a daily basis?", Benjamin asked and raised his brow.

.

I shrugged and tried to look calm when I spoke to him. He was going to be the next werewolf King, once he found his mate. "Because I cannot handle Maira, she needs her mate and there is no way I would let that happen.", I said lightly after Benjamin found the syringe in my room which I had used to inject wolfsbane in my vein.

.

"Rigghhttt....?", Benjamin looked confuse and suspicious when he heard my answer.

.

Please don't ask any further questions. Please.

.

"Everyone knows that any normal wolf goes mad without his/her mate except for Lycan. So, I have to use this option.", I added with the hope that he agreed. He rolled his eyes but didn't say a word to it. "Now, bye. I am going to have breakfast and you too have to leave for pack word, right?", I said and kissed his cheek before leaving from my room.

.

"Princess?"

.

I stopped and turned my head back to where my brother stood.

.

I gulped when I saw his serious face. "Please tell me the truth when you feel comfortable enough to share your past.", He spoke and then kissed my cheek before leaving my room.

I was shocked.

Did he know?

.

He did, not everything but a part of it because he was going to be future king for a reason.

.

.

.

"Good Morning Mom,", I greeted her when I came down to have breakfast. From the moment, Benjamin had started handling pack duties she had started relaxing a bit. Well, that's good for her, she used to work a lot.

Mom put down the newspaper when she heard me and I pecked her cheek before taking a seat beside her.

.

"Did you sleep well?", She asked with a warm smile. I nodded without sharing much about my painful night. One of the Omegas served breakfast for me. I thanked her and turned my head back to my mother.

.

"Since you are here now then you can handle your father's restaurants, so that old man could give some quality time to this young beautiful lady.", She complained, to which I laughed. Out of all the kids, only I love cooking just like dad and before my marriage, I was the one who used to handle his business.

.

"Excuse me? To whom you are calling an old man?", We both heard dad's voice, who was practically glaring at my mom. Observing his black eyes, I could tell that he was angry.

.

"Princess did.", Mom put the blame on me and I gasped in surprise but kept my mouth shut enjoying the cute fights between them. "Good Morning babe.", Mom quickly stood up and gave him a peck on his lips before taking a seat again in front of me and beside him.

.

I smiled and nodded my head to dad, whose eyes were back to Violet, just like mine. "Hi, dad."

.

"It's good to always see two prettiest angel’s faces in the morning.", He smiled and sounded proud when he said that. I smiled when I saw my father take my mother's hand and kiss it. The affection between each other always made me jealous and wanted to find one for myself, but with the bad experience with Jasper, I guess I didn't have the courage to date another man ever again.

.

"And what about me?", Andrella appeared behind our father from nowhere and sat beside him.

.

"You are my devil princess.", Dad pulled her cheek like she was a toddler and wiped the blood from her face.

.

"Dad....", She whined and made everyone burst out laughing. Oh god! how I miss talking and laughing like this with my family.

Later on, I asked dad about Oliver when he informed me that he would be joining our restaurant from Monday. I knew this was the best opportunity for him and his career but the problem was that we had stopped hiring HUMAN a long back. That too as a chef. Because most of the backend employees were werewolves.

.

But never mind, he would be assisting me so I could take care of him.

.

Saturday Evening

.

After a long time, I came here to enjoy my time with my siblings. I found many of the staff looking at us. They smiled and bow down their head a bit in gratitude. I couldn't tell them about the rest of my siblings but most of them knew me because I used to keep visiting all the branches of the restaurant with dad.

I looked around for the guards which dad always sent us with us after all he was overprotective when things come to his family. And there they were near every door.

.

"Mattew, dare you to start your non-sense over here. They are girls not clothes which you keep changing every night.", Benjamin scolded Matt when he caught him winking at the waitress. Mattew just rolled his eyes and got a smack from Andrella in the head.

.

"Benji is right.", She scolded him too.

.

"It is easy for you guys to say, but damn I can't control my wolf all the time who goes crazy without his mate. Call me Manwhore, but it helps my wolf to stay calm. Moreover, It is never one-sided you know.", Matt shrugged his shoulder and this time Keith smacked at his head. "Hey, just because you all are elders to me that don't mean you will bully me."

.

I was about to say something to them when my eyes landed on a knowing face who looked a bit upset. "Guys, I will be right back.", I told them and turned my heels in another direction.

.

'What was Oliver doing here?', I thought while walking toward him. I could see that he was clearly not looking where he was walking into and he bumped. Thankfully, I saved him and felt four pairs of eyes, burning holes in my head.

.

No, I was not talking about his family but about my sibling but I Ignored that for a while.

.

After talking with him, I came to know that he was here for dinner but unfortunately he was leaving with his family without having one. I stole a few glances of that small pup, which I believed was his nephew. My heart ached thinking about my pup wondering what he would be doing without me? I wish I could get a chance to hold his nephew.

I quickly brushed those thoughts and arranged a table of five for him and his family.

.

I knew he was confused and shocked. And I mentally laughed at his expression. It would be fun to see his face on Monday morning when he would get to know whom he had to work with.

I came back to my siblings and I knew a lot of questions were going on in their minds. Because I was someone who was never fond of HUMAN.

.

"Guys......He had helped me once and I did the same. Stop thinking so much.", I muttered, rolling my eyes. That's the common habit between us. I heard them releasing their breath which I didn't know they were holding until now.

.

"And there we thought, you are going to claim that human to calm your wolf.", Matt joked and got smacked by my three siblings together. I would be lying if I say that I didn't like that idea.

I turned my head and looked toward Oliver and to my surprise, his green eyes were looking at me.
