Chapter six

~Lexa~

I could literally hear my heart tremble.

My wolf was unsettling but I had to remain still and calm.

I sat there, listening to them converse like they’ve always wanted to.

The disgust underneath their own voices.

The monsters' very annoying gaze still on me.

“You finally attended one of these? Are you going to sign up our trading contracts next?” Alpha Zane asked, laughing slowly.

My mind was all over the place, was this the surprise he had for me? I asked beneath my own voice…But there was no way Alpha Zane knew anything about my past.

He didn’t know or even understand all of the pain I’ve had to bottle up for years.

“There wasn’t a reason to come until now.” Raemon definitely sounded okay.

His voice was stern and not a hint of pain or regret.

I know it’s been five years but at least he should have had a reaction if at all.

“Please excuse me” I stood up, avoiding looking at anyone’s face.

‘He wasn’t supposed to be here, what’s changed?’ Anthrix tried to reason with me, our heart aching.

We might look strong on the outside but on the inside we were fragile…too fragile if you ask me…

It was enough time for us to get over it i know but it wasn’t as easy as we say it was.

The thought of giving your heart and all of you to one person…only for it to get broken, that’s not something I want to go through again…

I stupidly saw him as a savior since he practically saved me and that was how we met and the stupid bond clicked.

I don’t want to think about it, not how I stupidly gave my heart to someone that changed overnight.

I splashed water on my face, a lot of it. “We don’t remember anything, it’s our past.”

I keep muttering the words to myself, staring at myself in the mirror.

I was a reflection of pain bottled up, of everything wrong…My Reason to not remember anything.

“You okay? You almost drank the full cup.” His voice boomed out of nowhere.

He was standing right behind me, his aura instantly filling up the small bathroom.

I gave myself a small pep talk, reminding myself he wasn’t worth anything.

Zane’s mom, Christine and getting to train was what was important to me right now.

“I’m sorry do I know you?” I asked outright while cleaning my hands.

He laughed weirdly, his steps coming closer till i could feel his breath on my neck.

I don’t move, no reaction. Nothing more annoying than letting the other person know they are not really important.

“Sorry, are you fine? You need to find your way back to my alpha?” I asked so gently. Moving like there wasn’t a reason for me to be scared.

Acting instead like he was drunk even when we both knew that was no way possible.

We were standing in front of each other now. His eyes were dark and a bit cloudy, not that usual vibrant golden ones.

Shit shit noooo! We don't want to remember even the tiniest details about him.

I didn’t want to stand here anymore and I walked out, my face looking like I held real pity in them for him.

Like anyone ever gets drunk at these things.

His hand held my arms. “I’m holding back enough Alexa, don’t push it.” He spoke calmly, pulling me back to face him almost immediately.

“What are you doing? How do you know my name? Who are you?” I started to fake a panic, my voice increasing in tempo.

He smiled like that was the only true thing holding him back. “Is this a joke? Cut it off Lexy, trust me that I’m trying my best to act really calm right now.” He spoke into my ear, his face right on my neck.

“What joke?” I continued the act, sounding really lost and totally confused.

“Wait, where’s my mark?” His hand grabbed my neck at once, anger rolling off his tongue as his eyes scanned my body.

At that instant someone came in and walked in on us. Her eyes flew wide open as she gasped out loud.

She didn’t even wait long enough for me to ask for help and just ran out.

He didn’t flinch, one of his hands still on my neck as he used his eyes to search for a mark I spent all day covering up.

“What are you doing, stop!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, hoping to get attention or more specifically to get Alpha Zane here because clearly not just anyone could tell him off.

He was about to freaking bring his nose close to me.

“Alpha Raemon, what are you doing with my wolf?” Alpha Zane walked in.

Maybe I wasn’t listening properly but to me he didn’t sound much surprised.

He’s just very weird, and why we would never like each other.

“Can you get me out of here?” I uttered boldly, sounding pretty scared.

Literally scared because his eyes twitched when Alpha Zane called me his wolf.

It just felt like he was doing it on purpose.

His hands loosened, he let me go and I immediately ran to go stand behind Alpha Zane.

“Is this all a joke?” He turned to face Alpha Zane, his voice very serious and stern.

A clear show of anger on his face.

“Absolutely not alpha. The meeting is about to start but clearly I can’t stay longer because she’s scared and not safe here.” His voice hit all the nails on the head.

His face on me as he looked for any scratches. I don’t know what he was playing it but it wasn’t looking good.

“I’ll get details from you about the meeting later. I trust that you understand the situation since you also protected and kept your mate from us for her safety.”
