" but, it seems that your stepmother cares about you more than ever"
Hmm
You can say that again.
AURORA POINT OF VIEW
I stare between him, the so called father of mine and my stepmother, Gianna .They sat there not like my parents but like strangers to my eyes .
" Your mother had originally found a man who is suspected to be your fated Mate, against my original intentions for you, she plans to send you on tour so he can find you since you are wolfless and can not scenes him, like I said earlier, against my original intentions for you, I will let you go and experience life outside the pack, and life with your fated Mate"
Lucian my father said and laid back on his armchair.
I lift my head and took a quick glance at my stepsister, her expression wasn't that of surprise, wasn't that of pain of losing a sister rather it was an expression of deep happiness, like she already expected this outcome.
I glance at my stepmother, she sat there with her delicate hands rested on Father's armchair, she look expectantly at me as if expecting something different, maybe cry...
And for once, I will myself to maybe try to believe that she didn't actually said those words I heard earlier, maybe, I was hallucinating or something, and then I saw something different on her face, a smirk, yes it was there, and she side wardly exchange a knowing glance with Lylah.
" But father, Lylah is just three days away from me, and she haven't found her Mate yet, why is mine an exception that I must go on a tour to find mine?"
Lucian look at me with disdain clearly written all over his face.
" just like you said, yours is an exception because you are wolfless, keeping you in this pack can never help you find your mate, while the difference between you and Lylah is clear, she's every thing you are not and can never be, she can find her Mate anywhere and anytime, but you, I don't think there's any hope"
My father spat back.
And all the wall of tolerance I had built around me as a kid till date began to fall apart, I felt them break apart from my fathers harsh words, he didn't even care about how I felt, how torn I was at being called useless, just because I hasn't gotten a wolf, I had become a liability.
Well, Alphas are meant to be cold, but I don't think that applies to their daughter, their children, and there he was, praising Lylah to my face, and she sat there with head held up high , her lips parted in a half smile at me, or I can call it a mocking smile which I felt like slapping out if her dump face.
" so you are saying you want me out cause I'm wolfless?"
I asked with tears in my eyes, he wasn't sending me to find my wolf but to leave the pack, he didn't do it out of pure intentions but to please Gianna.
Only the Moon goddess knows what she had ever done to make him always try to please her daily.
" Calm down sister, Father and mother are only trying to do what's best for you, you should be thankful at the moment and stop being an ungrateful wrench "
Lylah bit out and I watch father turn and flash her a smile .
" Lylah is right, whatever your mother is doing now is definitely for your own good, she knows what is best for you and..."
And it collapsed, they final piece collapse, I stood up to my feet in the blink of an eye without knowing where the energy, the pull, the force came from.
My father, stepmother, and stepsister stare at me in disbelief.
And a smile spread across her face, a very broad smile, broad enough to make me shrink but no, not today, she stood to her feet and took a step toward me, pause in her track and look at me as if to study me, and I know, the only emotion she can read off my face now is hatred.
She smirk as if to take in what she saw, my heart beat rose rapidly as I breath heavily with clenched fists , not from pain but from anger, anger at seeing the one who pretends to love me always standing there and playing green tea even after I find out.
" I'm sorry to say this, but please, dearie, have a seat, okay? "
She says staring grimly at me, I stood there unbothered, she always soothe me when I'm angry and I always end up obeying her but no, not today.
" okay, I get it, you don't feel like sitting so as not to stain yourself, right?, maybe, the chairs here are dirty?"
" I never says that"
" then can you at least have a seat?"
She says pointing toward my chair.
" Gianna, or what so ever you call yourself, i am tired of watching you play this green tea with me, how about you get over it"
I shouted in anger, and a terrifying growl filled the room as my father voice rang.
" How dare you call my mate by name, you daughter of a whore?"
I tilted my head and face my father, did he just called my mom a whore?, to my very presence?, his own fated Mate?, and I spat back with hesitation, without thinking of what I was saying.
" chosen mate to be precise and did you just called my mother a whore, you son of a gun?
A louder growl filled the room and I saw Lylah shrink back in fear while Gianna continue to walk toward me and then realisation click in, she was bound to piss me off, but if that's the last thing I will do before leaving here, I'm bound to satisfy her.
I dug my hand to my back and drew out three arrows.
Being an Alpha daughter even if I'm cursed doesn't meant being treated like a cartoon castle living princess, one have to join something to help the pack, I was part of the warriors, they don't go easy on me, and I like it, I learn how to defend my self , that makes me always go around with a backpack of poisonous self made arrows, so shooting three at a time was not a big deal.
I place the three arrows on my bow and position to draw it.
" Don't you dare do that, remember, this is the Alpha…"
" Alpha's what??, Alpha my foot, and if I dare, what's to be done? Don't you want me death anymore?, huh…im serving you a taste of pain before I ever get noted as late"
And before I could stop myself, i drew the bow, and within a twinkling of an eye, the arrows left the bow,
and I heard it.
A scream, a high pitch scream coming from Gianna, no, not just her but Lylah too.
