The Rejected Alpha Episode 64
The car ride from the airport to the pack lands was long and silent.Damon sat silently staring out the window.I sat silently, staring at my fingers and occasionally, him.I really didn't have much to say.I still felt... ashamed, embarrassed.I risked everything for... nothing.I could have died.But they didn't care.They still probably don't.And they never will. Not anymore.My own family. They turned their backs on me.Without an ounce of guilt.I tried to blink back the tears that were beginning to form in my eyes.I couldn't let them fall, otherwise they wouldn't stop.Looking back at it, it was a stupid move.I did it out of impulse.I wasn't even thinking straight.Obviously.I just thought that, maybe they called me because they needed me, wanted me back.But they just wanted to save their own asses.They called me to save them but who was supposed to save me?Damon.And he did.He actually flew out of the country to find me.He cared enough to fight for me.I turned to tak

There are a lot of emotions that a person should feel when they finally see their long lost family.I mean after about two years of not seeing my family I'm supposed to be ecstatic right?Overcome with a joyous feeling that surpasses all human understanding but that is directly connected to the mere bond that exists between family?+Wrong.I stood there shell shocked staring at them.For a moment I forgot myself and almost smiled at the sight of them.Almost.Hurt, rejection and disappointment flooded in all at once.I had to stop myself from having various flashbacks.Because they would only cause me to hurt more.But I decided to mask all these feelings with a cold glare.I couldn't let them get to me.I wouldn't.They looked far better than the last time I'd seen them.Well groomed and fed not a single solitary scratch on their faces.Impeccable, perfect little family.While I had to nurse both my external and internal wounds.That I acquired in pursuit of their freedom.What were

Three days.It's been three days of just sitting in this room doing nothing.Three days of feeling empty, lost and blank. I wasn't even sad or angry, I just seemed to feel void of all emotion.+Damon had carried me up here after my little family reunion.I've refused to see anyone since.Mavis came along with Rose and Daryl.I refused to see them too.I didn't want anyone seeing me like this now.I knew if I see them I'd have to fake a smile to reassure them, and right now, I didn't have it in me to do that.I also refused to eat or drink anything. I simply wasn't hungry.I had a bottle of water here that was just fine for me.I'd been asked countless times if I was alright.By Latifah, James, Mavis even Damon.Especially Damon.But I gave no response.Not necessarily because I didn't want to.But because I didn't know the answer to that.Was I alright?I had no idea.I was just... there.As usual, Damon entered my room again (without knocking) to as me how I was. He'd been extra caut

I turned around to look for Damon and I saw him standing at the edge of the river bank holding a large blue shirt and thankfully he had shorts on.Wait, how was he already out and dressed? Did he fly down or what?"C'mon it's late, we gotta get back now." He said holding out the shirt for me. I saw that there were blue shorts for me resting by his feet as wellI was currently in the middle of the river, almost completely submerged in the water, and he was at the edge.Was I supposed to come out all the way... naked?Hell no.He cocked an eyebrow and I stayed right were I was, swimming in the river. Which actually took a lot of strength since my feet couldn't touch the ground yet, I had to swim against the current just to stay at one place.I swam forward up until I could stand on my own two feet, but still deep enough for the water to cover me fully.Thankfully it was up to my collarbone. I stood there and moved not an inch further to retrieve the shirt.The river, being as wide as it

"Get her."Was the last thing I heard before I turned around and started my sprint back to the pack grounds.The look on their faces alone as they turned to me was enough to have me sprinting to the hills.I shuddered as I remembered their faces, which seemed more vivid than any other part of my dream.It was like a pack of lions looking at a lamb in the middle of a desert during drought.Too much?Well that's how they looked at me.I had to fight my way back through the thick bush which just seemed to cage me in now. Holding me back.The twigs were literally strangling me as I pushed through.I fell out of the bush cutting my palm open on a sharp rock, but I paid it no mind. I hurriedly got back on my feet and started running.I literally shifted in a second and manoeuvred my way through the dense forest.I couldn't hear the sounds of footsteps approaching me but then again, none of them were touching the ground when I saw them now were they?That thought just seemed to add more fuel

"Back where?" I tried to play it cool.I wasn't exactly sure of where I had gone to and if I even really went there in the first place. This could very well be a vivid dream. A very vivid one. With real life manifestations, I added as I thought about my palm.+He looked at me deadpan."I know for a fact that you didn't wake up at 4am for a quick morning jog," he rose a brow at me. "Unless you had another agenda."I tried not to be offended."I am very capable of waking up early to go jogging. You were the same person who told me I needed to shift more often, weren't you?"He regarded me silently. Trying to see if he should believe the unbelievable, that I had willingly gotten up at dawn to train, or that I went back to the place that had obviously rattled both of us last night. Which, right now in my right mind, doesn't sound so believable either.If he saw straight through my lie and diversion, he made no further comment about it.After a few more seconds of staring, he turned and le

Old relics, talismans and amulets hung on the walls, at least that's what they looked like to me.The walls suddenly changed from their subtle peach colour to a dark brown with inscriptions etched on them.A weird thing in the structure of a very complicated flower vase appeared in between us. It was about two to three feet tall and looked like it was made entirely of porcelain.I moved back slightly and tucked my legs under the chair to prevent any mishaps.+She then shut her eyes and started chanting.For a moment there I was tempted to flee.'No Adriane you were dreaming' or 'Yes it really happened, don't worry I'll take care of those mean old ladies for you.'That's how I had been expecting this encounter to go.Really?Yes. I definitely didn't sign up for this.But the atmosphere suddenly felt so heavy and I couldn't move. At least not right away.And when a puff of air that formed a ball was emitted from that vase thing I actually fell off my chair.A warning would have been nic

"Get up we're leaving. Now." Damon said while he stood by the door waiting for me to get up.He had folded his arms across his chest, his jaw tight.He was looking rather impatient."Alpha, I think you need to hear the whole story about this."Evelyn spoke from her seat at the end of the room.She tried to make direct eye contact with Damon to relay her message with urgency but Damon was staring at me, willing me to get up with the sheer force of his gaze."No, I dont. You're just gonna fill her head with nonsense and frighten her." He snapped as his eyes flashed at her and then looked at me to get a move on, since I was still firmly rooted to my seat. He looked on edge, and I wondered how much of our conversation he had actually heard. How long had he been in here? I didn't even feel his presence.Damon didn't look like he was interested in any talk about witches and sacrifices. Almost as if he didn't believe that they could do anything. I on the other had still dealt with chills as
