I didn't know how long my scream lasted but I knew my wolf was in much pain than I was. It was struggling all over me with multiple thoughts and opposing actions like it has just been wounded badly.
I gasped letting myself roll and I was struggling to keep myself from transforming. Just then, the door flew open and Jared ran in followed by my mother.
I felt myself been lifted in one swift and I was taken to the bathroom.
'It hurts so bad!' My wolf carped and this time, I felt my tears rolling down to my cheeks.
I was thrown into the bathtub and immediately, the shower was turned on. Extreme cold water raining down on my body.
'It's not helping!'
I lifted my head seething and I saw my mom sobbing while Jared stood at the water switches.
"Take a deep breath, Umbrie. Just hold on..." My mom sort for words to console me as she stroked my hair.
I remained quiet panting so much like I had ran a race. The pains were gone.
'He stopped.' My inner wolf informed me sounding less miserable like it was seconds ago.
I stood up from the bathtub and stepped out slowly, there was one word for me at this moment - weak.
I was very weak and tired.
"That bàstard. He is dead the moment I see him." Jared gritted with his fists clenched. It must have been like that before but I didn't get to see it
My mom covered me with a blanket and led me to my closet while Jared exit the room looking like he could bring down a wall.
I had a change of clothes and mom was by me watching me drink the lemon tea she made to soothe me. She had a very sad expression and I wished it wasn't because of me.
I should have left the house or probably toned down my screaming. It would have prevented the hearts that just got broken tonight.
"Can you hear his thoughts?" My mom asked referring to the mind link ability.
"No, he turned it off." I replied sipping slowly from the tea.
"Did the both of you fight today? Why would he do such a thing? He shouldn't be hurting you like this."
"No, we didn't fight or anything. He almost did fight with Jared at the cafe. That's the only thing. I don't understand also. I don't know what I did to him." I ruefully said fighting back the tears.
"I won't let him ruin your life. I will speak to the Alpha and other leaders. We must do something about it. You want to cut ties with him, don't you?" She questioned with beady eyes.
"Yes." I replied remembering the pains I encountered earlier. I never thought I'd experience it. Not ever in this alive. I was only told and I hated hearing that it happened to someone too.
Goodness. I dropped my head on my knees fighting off the excruciating memories.
He's back, but I think it's to ruin my life.
I was left alone to get some sleep but I couldn't sleep. The memory was so disturbing and I was scared as hell that the pains might return in any moment.
What would I do? How would I stop it?
I should not have gotten intimate with Keiran. Maybe it wouldn't have hurt this much. He just had to wait until he returned to hurt me this way.
Six months with no betrayal and then he pops out of nowhere to make my wolf suffer.
I'm going to hurt him, that is a promise.
That night might have been the most chaotic night of my life, I woke up feeling better and the torture of the pain on my skin was gradually disappearing that I couldn't imagine what it was like anymore.
I debated with myself if I should go to school or stay back at home and rest.
I just don't understand why he would do this to me. I had thoughts of having my revenge. But I still have to pull myself together and head to school. There's so much to be done.
Mom took out time to drive Sky and I to our schools respectively. And I guessed she was just helping me because she pitied me after what happened last night.
When I arrived at the hallways, Daphne was resting against her locker talking to someone on her phone. Everyone was walking around breezily minding their own business. I decided to start with approaching her.
I debated if I should tell her about my encounter when I went to her house.
But I can't do that. I can't tell her because she never gave me her house address. I don't even have an excuse for going to her house. Not the right excuse. I will have to keep quiet about it. It wasn't my business to begin with.
Gosh! I care too much.
I'll definitely look weird to her.
"Morning, Umbrie." She said noticing me first. She wore a bored look and I just smiled at her.
"So, i saw posters about the drama club and I think we should join. What do you think?" She said excitedly placing a hand across my shoulders.
"I'm cool with it. That's, if I get in." I replied with a shrug. I doubt I'll get in anyway.
"Awesome! You look tired. Didn't you get enough sleep?" She questioned and I was busy pulling out books from my locker. I had an English class first and a lot of textbooks are involved.
*I didn't." I admitted studying her face.
"Unlike you, you are dazzling!" I beamed and her cheeks turned crimson red.
I really had to switch topics for two reasons, one, I don't want to explain what happened last night and I'd be forced to lie. Second, I should really be a good friend since I don't have such close friends. Being a werewolf came with a lot of differences.
"Oh stop! You're so sweet. Well, thank you." She chuckled placing a hand over her right cheek.
That's weird. Daphne is actually girlish cute!
After being at my locker, we walked to class together with her doing most of the talking. She did talk about Jared and his craziness yesterday. I'd like for Jared to hear how a stranger butchers him with the perfect definition of his absurd character.
I was almost past the door of the classroom when I looked sideways and I met those pair of brown eyes — Keiran. He was walking in with his friends. They were four in number this time.
He was well known over the school but it's a popularity over how cool he was and how good he always looked in expensive clothes. Most girls had him as a target but he's so unsteady. Disappearing and appearing. He is definitely not someone that can commit. I wonder why the moon goddess ever thought we were a pair.
They stopped halfway talking amongst themselves with what seemed like a heated argument but I can't make out one word they were saying. He wasn't staring at me or even letting up a glance yet.
I was too stumped to move. My legs weren't working anymore.
The next thing I felt was my heart beating fast with so much ferocity. What happened yesterday flooded my mind.
I cringed and continued walking into the class. I'll make him pay. I have to.
I was going through the words I had jotted down when I realized Keiran wasn't in the class yet but his friends were settled at the back row including Hillary who's always following him like a pet and it's owner.I had put my whole focus in class until now. My wolf was silent and I couldn't tell how she was doing.How did I let things turn out this way? After he left for one month, I should have destroyed the bond. I should have had the Alpha of the pack do something but instead, I adjusted too fast and it was like he never left.I remember his parents coming to meet me at home three months ago. It was just like any other Saturday when I'd have to do the laundry and assist Sky with his homework. I was not too smart but I could at least try once I study the examples.Mom walked in while I was rounding up my clothes into the closet and then she held a cold look I couldn't define.She spoke so softly
I was still mute looking at anywhere but him. He said a few words before hanging up and putting the phone in his pocket. "I have to go somewhere right now." He said with a shrug and I rolled my eyes. "Like I care. You've done enough damage already." I muttered rubbing my hands together. "See you later." He cooed before brushing past me. I followed right behind him wanting to get away from his space. He walked too fast and soon, he was going out through the eastern door which students rarely used except during sports hours. I was stranded at the hallway, not knowing if I should head to the cafeteria or just retire to class. All of a sudden, I walked into someone but luckily our bodies did
"Let's play truth or dare." A rough voice said and I drifted my gaze from my phone to Ace whom was swinging a bottle of bear in his hand. He sounded drunk but his face didn't correspond."Wow, I'm in!" Sherry said excitedly while I put my phone in my pocket.Angelo, one of Keiran's friends provided a bottle and dropped it at the center of the circle.He spun it first and it landed between two folks. The rule of the game was — either do the truth/dare or drink a full glass of whiskey.I watched the game go on and for the first time, the bottle stopped between me and Ace.I raised my head to find everyone staring at me. Ace cleared his throat and drew close."Umbrie, truth or dare?" He growled lowly and I smiled."Dare.""Hmm." He smirked with a chuckle. "I dare you to kiss Scott."I grinned as my gaze drifte
I hurried over to where he was and before I could reach him, he turned around and our gaze locked.I stopped walking and folded my arms."Why did you call him here? Why did you tell him all that?" I asked perturbed and he gave a cunning smile."Why do you sound so pissed? I'm just telling him so he won't be worried about you. You know how much he cares about you." He was all smug and I didn't believe that that was his reason for speaking to Jared.I walked around the room in a panic exit but suddenly i reached for my pockets."Where's my phone?" I queried stepping closer to him.He smirked and tilted his head."I'll hand it to you after you have breakfast with me." He replied and I scoffed.He is completely out of his mind.I need to leave this place. Especially with Jared on the way. Things can't go down like this.&nb
Jared was taking harsh breaths with his fists clenched. Something's not right. Jared is a warrior training at the pack house with the other eligible werewolves. How come he was completely at Keiran's mercy?My gaze drifted from him to Keiran whom just said the dumbest thing I've ever heard.That gets should be gentle with me? Sometimes I don't understand what Keiran is after. He hurts me a lot but at the same time, he acts like a caring freak.His mom once mentioned something about him being a psycho. Maybe this is just how he is. Abnormal in his own way."Don't you ever!" Jared barked and threw an unexpected punch on Keiran's face making him bed his head the other side.My brother pounced on him hitting him with his cruel fists. They both fall on the ground and Keiran remained helpless as Jared beat him up. It was like he didn't care and he doesn't even try to fight back.I stood
Umbrie's pov.I held onto the door knob, carefully eased it before going into the house. I kicked my shoes off my legs before proceeding towards the living room."Umbrie! You're home." Mom said excitedly while holding a couple of plates in her hands. I nodded my head slowly and walked over taking the plates from her."Yes, you're so loud." I chuckled moving with her to the dining table."How was your talk with Alpha Damien?" Dad asked immediately i sat next to Sky.I smiled. "It was pretty good. No problem at all."Jared was also at the table and he had a good face. And by good, I mean he looked happy and easygoing.He should really adopt this look.The dinner was heated as well started eating the sumptuous meal mom prepared. It was lively, hell, Jared even laughed the loudest. Sky kept making jokes about when he comes
I was still up, unable to give in to sleep. Though it has been a shiitty day, I still couldn't end it once and for all. I had a warm bath so it'd make me feel more compelled to sleep but it didn't work, apparently. I found myself walking to Sky's room aware that everyone must be in their room right now. I stood by the door and eavesdropped on the voices behind it. It was that of Keiran and Sky. It sounded like they were playing video games with the comments they were making. I stood there for about five minutes, leaning on the door and just letting time pass by. It was at that point that the door drastically opened and I almost fell over if not for someone grabbing me by my wrist. I quickly stood erect to see Keiran staring at me. "What the... What are you doing here?" He asked looking stunned. I went ahead to enter the room and he shut the door behind us.
I spoke to Hillary but he wasn't of any help. He didn't know why Keiran left too and he's planning to go see him in his house.Daphne was the first to speak after Hillary had left."What's going on, Umbrie? What do you have with this Keiran guy? So far I've heard about him, he has been away for six months. What are you going to do now?" She asked sounding worried."I will tell you everything later. Let's just...let's just get to class." I gulped walking past her.She was looking blown off but I was too down to pay attention to her.Keiran is behaving strange, I must admit and I need to find out why...After a tough day at school, I decided to visit him before going to study class. Unfortunately, I left without Daphne knowing and I switched off my phone to prevent her calls too.I just had to handle this alone. She's a human and she can't be involved in every part of my life, yet.
