ODEYA.
“Do you want me to kiss you?” He asked.“Kiss me,” I responded expecting his lips on mine. Only, they never came. I felt them connect to my ears instead, his breath landed on my earlobe and this made my breath unstable again. Soft moans fell off my mouth without control and I bit my lower lips with flustered cheeks, embarrassed.“If I kiss you right now, you will go home and think I took advantage of you. Go home, think about it, and come back tomorrow,” he whispered.I opened my eyes immediately and saw him staring back at me with his elegant eyes. As I reminisced on what he had said, I couldn't help but laugh. I turned around from Herald and laughed until my stomach hurt.“Why are you laughing?” Herald's voice sounded behind me and then I turned to see him looking at me as though I had grown two heads.“A..Are you sure you're the bad boy the rumor says you are? A bad boy would never care if I think he's taking advantage of me,” I uttered, trying stable myself.I heard Herald huff and then he turned back to the tree he sat at earlier.“Those are just rumors, I'm nothing like my father. I have never even had my first kiss but everyone just assumes I am exactly like my dad.” He groaned.I was stunned by what he had said but said nothing. This was because I didn't believe him one bit.“I am going to leave now...” I told him, back walking away.He raised his head to me and wanted to say something but I didn't give him the chance. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me back home.At home, Mom had prepared dinner.“Did you get a good painting of the forest?” Mom asked as she served the food.“Uhm yeah,” I answered, eating my food and thinking of Herald. I haven't been able to take the image of him off my head and what he said. He hasn't had his first kiss yet? That's a fucking lie, from the pit of hell. However, why would he even lie to me?“Odeya, are you even listening?” My dad's voice sounded and I turned to him.“Huh?” I asked.“When are we going to see your paintings?” He asked, using one hand to caress my mom’s waist. They are the best lovers, and they never stop touching each other even when I am there. I'm not complaining, I actually love their love; it's cute.“My paintings are not for anyone’s eyes except mine,” I replied without looking at them.“I told you she was going to give the same response, just leave her, she’ll show us when she is ready,” Mom told Dad and I am so grateful for her.I looked up and saw Dad dipping his hand into her panties, gosh, I looked away very quickly almost grossed out.“Should I finish my dinner in my...”“Yes, please, go away!” Mom uttered, moving closer to Dad and I closed my eyes before picking my food. With this, I ran to my room, I don't want to experience them making out again.The Next Day; I went back to train, of course, however, my mind constantly thought of Herald. His company and his helping me train, I couldn't stop thinking about them. Perhaps I just miss my best friend, she traveled for some reason she never told me. That daughter of a bitch! I cursed out loud, slamming my sword into the tree.Bristles of the tree fell to the floor and I sighed before going to get my sword. I didn't know why I was thinking of Herald, but I shrugged and got the thought of him from my head. Then I started my training all over.By the time I was done, the sun was about to go back to its home. Herald didn't come, I didn't think much of him but I anticipated it in the back of my mind. Well, I guess I thought too much of the prince who was just like his father.I packed up my stuff and planned to go home. However, as I stood to walk away, I heard footsteps approaching me.My eyes glint and expectation filled my entire body.A smile that I didn't realize popped on my face as I saw him draped in dark jeans and a black shirt coming over. However, what I didn't expect was his puffed face and the way he breathe roughly. He looked angry.“Herald, are you okay?” I asked moving closer. Herald turned to me, his anger visible on his face.“Go away!” He lashed at me angrily and this made me stop on my track.I watched him go further as if avoiding me. Tears burnt my eyes because I had waited for him all day even though I didn't admit it to myself. Only for him to come here and yell at me.Without saying anything, I ran back home. I wanted to avoid dinner but I couldn't because Mom and Dad would disturb me until I tell them what was wrong with me.I miss Katya so much, I wish she could come back soon so I can share these newfound feelings with her.Two days passed, and I didn't go back to the forest. Even mom wondered the reason and asked me while kissing my dad in the kitchen; I hate them.However, I couldn't tell them the real reason because how am I supposed to explain my feelings? Sighs.Nevertheless, I still wondered what happened to Herald. Why did he change toward me like that? Ain't it the same guy that told me he didn't kiss me because he didn't want me to think he took advantage of me?Again, I was in a situation where I needed someone to talk to, someone to listen. That was the job of my best friend yet she left without any explanation.ODEYA It had been two days since I went back to the forest; I had missed training all because of a boy that doesn't care about me. Sighs, I had two hours of prepping myself before packing my bags with water, energy drinks, and some vitamins like I always did. “Darling, grab some spinach on your way back. I'll be using them for dinner.” Mom peered from the kitchen as I ran down the stairs.“Okay, Mom. Love you!” I responded, running out the door. I heard her respond to me as I reached the porch. Getting on my bike, I started riding to my favorite spot in the world. Soon, I reached and chained my bike like I always did before going to the clearing I train at. However, as I reached, I saw someone sitting on the floor and resting his back against a huge tree with his eyes closed. He was wearing black jeans and a black shirt again. He looked calm with his eyes closed, I wished he could always be calm like this. Remembering how he had raised his voice at me, I hardened my face and looke
ODEYA. Evening, I and Katya went to my house. She told me her mother was drinking and smoking again hence she would stay at my home. It wasn't the first time Katya slept over at my house because of her mom. Getting home, we heard dad screaming as we opened the door. Fear grew in me immediately. “Dad,” I screamed and ran toward the direction the scream came from - which was the kitchen. However, I found my dad under my mom, and my mom slapped his face playfully. “You bastard, you ate the last cookie!” She slapped him again, playfully countless times while Dad playfully screamed as if it hurts. I rolled my eyes but inwardly I was happy, my parents are so in love with each other. “Good evening, Mrs. Blake.” Katya greeted my mom behind me. Mom turned and saw us, she still sat on top of my dad. “You children can go, don't say anything cause I am going to kill this man with my hands!” She screamed before returning to dad. I laughed before dragging Katya with me. “I was just trying t
ODEYA. I didn't believe what dad had said, I didn't want to believe it. Is this the reason Katya hadn't come to see me in the last three weeks after Debby’s party? I asked myself as I rummage through my clothes.After finding a sunflower short dress, I put it on and then brush my hair into a bun. Dad was still in my room, hence he looked at me as I walked out of my closet.“Where are you going?” He asked, standing up.“Don’t worry, Dad. I'll be back soon,” I told him before grabbing my car key off the table. Entering my car, and driving off to her house, my mind became occupied with thoughts. I had told Katya about Herald and me. She knows how much I adored him and how I am waiting for him to come back to me hence I am wondering why and how she became his new Queen. That should be me. Soon, I reached the foyer of her house and then I got out of my car. I saw another car parked next to where I parked mine but I didn't mind and just went in. Getting into her house, it reeked of ciga
Dad told me Katya had reported to the Alpha that a woman was pregnant out of wedlock, the disciplinary committee had ordered for that woman to be stoned to death for committing debauchery. The woman was me. Fortunately for us, one of dad’s loyal man was there and he heard them, he quickly informed my dad about it. Mom sobbed holding my hand while I stared into the air wondering the level of betrayal Katya was going to stop at. There was another rule against women in the pack, we are not allowed to get pregnant by any man that's not our mate, it was counted as a sin. The disciplinary committee would decide the person’s judgment, I guess mine was to be stoned to death. Mom told me to leave immediately. They added that I couldn't take my phone along and we couldn't contact each other because the disciplinary committee would hack into our phone’s network and listen to every conversation. With tears in my eyes, I left my mom and dad. Aside from that, Mom and Dad would be watched from now
ODEYA. I left the poop on my clothes and then went back to the cracked wall, I placed the foil tape over it and cared less if the poop continued to burst out of it and stained my hands. It was useless to cry now, this was my situation and I needed to get used to it. After countless foil tapes, I was able to block the poop from seeping out. Sighing, I washed my hands and went back to a seat at the corner and then watched the rain fall in each bucket. There was no window in the room hence I only had the water from the roof to watch. I was bored out of my mind but it was fine, as long as my baby would be saved. When Lydia came back, I told her about the creaked wall and how it was affecting me. She looked at me with a face of disdain and told me I should choose between food for the next three months and the repair. She reminded me that none of my family could contact her because of the rules in the pack hence they couldn't send her money for me. She had told me to keep my mouth shut
ODEYA I felt humiliated. My family was one of the most influential people in the pack but look at me, and see where I found myself. “What is going on here?!” I heard a rough voice behind me and then a familiar scent hit me. Gently, I turned my head to the direction. Standing behind the kids was Claire, my mother figure. I met Claire one time when she came to see the condition of the Janitor’s closet. I heard she was the new sponsorer of the school which was ironic. No one ever wants to invest in the commoner's school. When Claire saw me with my babies, she felt bad for us and our living conditions hence she promised she was going to take care of us. I hadn't seen her since then until now. Although I never saw her, I thought of her as a mother. The way she talked and cared for me was exactly like that of my mother. “Pack your bags, you are coming with me.” She uttered while I was wiping my body with the water she made the students bring to me. Claire was able to dismiss the kids
ODEYAGetting to the room, I saw my three babies on the marble floor, with blood coming out their mouths. Hysterically, I ran to them and fell beside them; shaking them and their faces. “Wake up, Savanna... Austin, wake up!” I called their names but they kept vomiting blood. “Call the ambulance, now!” I screamed at those behind me just watching me. “Please, wake up, babies!” I cried, still slapping their faces. A few minutes later, the ambulance came and took my children to the hospital. I sat by their side on the small bus, watching the nurse fix something on their faces. Tears grew in my eyes and my entire body shook. They have never been sick, they were always hale and hearty hence seeing them in this condition was scary. “Are they going to be okay?” My voice broke as I asked the question. * * * Two days later, my babies were better. Claire often came with their favorite foods since I couldn't leave them to prepare them good food. Claire was nothing but a blessing to me, I d
ODEYAIt was as though I was glued to the floor, coupled with the hardness of pulling my face away from them. Thankfully, I wasn't noticed by them. Alpha Arden and my ex-best friend walked past me without noticing me which was a good thing. Getting myself, I felt something roll down the corner of my eyes. They were tears, and I was quick to wipe them off before they got any further. There was no reason to cry over spilled beans especially now that I have three reasons to be happy every day. To wake up and move on. I went to the location where I had a meeting with my client. It was a restaurant on neutral ground like Claire’s house and company, this was because Claire didn't want to have any bond with the pack that had once betrayed her. All businesses on neutral grounds are accessible to all wolves and there was no centralized government. On getting in, I found out there was no more table except the VIP golden villa and they had only one of its kind which was worth a whooping ten th
