Chapter 7: (edited)

I stared the man before me. He was indeed beautiful. But where had Iseen him before? I know I've seen him somewhere.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he questioned. I nodded, as I lay my handon my stomach. He wouldn't know though.

He looked confused and lost, as well as tired. I looked at him oncemore and stared at his face expression.

"Is something the matter?" I questioned him. He tuned to me andsmiled.

"No nothing, I hope to see you soon... "he slowed down.

* Colleen” I said. He nodded smiling.

"Yes, Colleen” he walked off waving goodbye, well that was it. I shookmy head heading home. I got in the bus and rode in silence. Myearphones plugged in my ears and the only sound my baby's heartbeat, with no music, just the silence, of the little budum.

The bus stopped and I walked the way home, getting home, I checkedin on mother like always. There she lay down a book In her hand. I tookthe book putting it on the side table, switching off the lamplight.

I then walked to the kitchen preparing something to eat. I was startingand I can't explain how painful hunger feels. I quickly pulled out someof last night's leftovers and heated it in the microwave.

The microwaved beeped and I opened it taking out my hot and steamyplate of food. I sat at the counter on one of the barstools and beganeating. I don't know why but my mind kept drifting off to an earlier. Idon't know why but I get the feeling I know him, which is very strange.I washed my dishes and headed straight for bed. Lying down on myright side, I listened carefully as my babies Heartbeat sounded in myears. The sound was a melody in my ears. I began thinking about thefuture, about what ifs.

What if alpha had not Rejected me, would I have been happy?

Funny how I refer to him as alpha, cause I never called out his namecasually, only once and I dont even want to remember. no one spokemuch about him as muicgh in the pack, as one would excpect. He wasjust the alpha. But there were stories of him being cold hearted andcunning, him being bad and ruthless and mostly merciless. but nomatter the rumours that circulated around, he always stood and proudand he stayed as an alpha because he was known for his loyalty andlove towards the pack. But the question that had always struck me was,why? why was he the weay he was? Why was he seen as such? well thequestioned answered itself after that night. A man like him, one thatstood as though eh had dignity was nothing but a playboy, thatcouoldnt differentuiate between right and wrong. my naive idea of

I let my self think of an answer but nothing came to mind but slowly Iwas drifting off to sleep, and I was brought into a world of warmcomforting darkness.

The next morning I hurried myself to get to work on time, I had wokenup late due to my stupid half broken alarm. I rushed out the doortowards the bus! lily I hot in there in time, I sat down and waitedimpatiently to get to work. The alphas house stood proudly, if there's aplace I would rather not be, it would be here, forever and always. Iloathe anything that is related to him.

I got to work and began cleaning, I cleaned the kitchen first today sincea few of our staff had gone on leave for a while. The a diffusing smellmade its way through my senses, and I gagged, I had and urge tothrow up, hurried I ran up the stairs and head to the nearest bathroom.I opened it and let my guts out and it wasn't stopping anytime soon. Ifelt a soothing touch on my back rubbing up and down but I couldn'tand won't see who it was, but I recognized the voice anywhere.

"Are you okay?" the deep voice asked, sending shivers down my spine,the voice belonging to none other than the alpha himself.

I pushed back my hair and rinsed my mouth by the small sink near thetoilet. I sat down, my back against the bathroom wall.

"I'm fine." I said breathlessly.

"Are you sure?" he questioned. Who the hell is he to act concerned.

Hs face showed a worrrisome expression making me scoff at the scenebefore me. he looked as though Ihaddone something to rip his heartapart, meanwhile it was the other way around. this was truly something."I said I'm fine!" I snapped irritated by his demeanore, "so stop actinglike you care all of a sudden. You rejected me, not the other wayaround. take a hint.” I said harshly, he flinched, before regaing hiscomposure, His eyes turned slightly black in anger. Well, I got myselfinto this.

"Reese!" I heard his name being called out. Lillian made her way in thebathroom and looked at me in disgust, I shook my head at her and herchildish behavior. was she honestoly someone i considered a friend?someone i cherished dearly? funny how people can change.

"Go home for today, I don't need you straining yourself, then blamingme for any illness caused upon you" he said bluntly. Once a monsteralways a monster, once a villian always a villain, but once a mate alwaysa mate. This man deserved to drown in a lake, and by my two hands atthat.

But... No matter how much i had insulted him, my pained heart stunglonging for him. What a funny joke the moon goddess was playing onme.

I looked away from him, gathering myself together. I don't need peoplelike him in my life, I don't. I flushed the toilet leaving the bathroom notsparing a second glance.

walking out of the house, the tears stung my eyes as i forced myself tohold them back. my precious tears did not neeed to be shed for peoplewho did not deserve it. I walked to the bus stop, luckily a bus cameminutes later. I rode it to my street and got off, walking home I lookedahead smiling. i couldnt bring my gloomy self hime and worry mom."Come on Colleen, you are stronger than that!" I motivated myself.

I put my keys into the keyhole, opening the door, and walked to mymother's bedroom only to see her with the company, My eyes widenedat the guest present. the man I had bumped into earlier was sittingacross a tear-stained mother of mine. my heart dropped as I looked ather face.

"mom, what's going on?" I questioned, as they both looked towards mewith serious epressions.
