Trembling, I felt more than grateful as Rex let go of my neck. I don’t know if it’s because of the three steps I stood away from him, I just can’t get my eyes off him as the thought of him trying to kill me rang in my mind.
‘He almost marked us’ Ashina corrected.
What?
My eyes popped open in disbelief as I watch Rex walk further away from me. His hands in his pocket, something like low growls could be heard from his, as he walked back to the window and turn his back on me.
“Alpha Rex?” I whispered, “Alpha Rex I am sorry”.
Without turning back to look at me, my mate growled. I could see how hard he is trying to control himself as his palms moved out of his pockets to stay behind him.
“Alph…”.
“It’s Mox for you” My mate interrupted “You can call me just Rex or Mox”.
Slowly, I raised my palm up my neck in fear of the bleeding but there was no sign of blood. They hurt, so much but surprisingly not bleeding. Maybe I was just too scared of bleeding out to death or the fact that I take longer than a normal wolf to heal.
Nodding as I remained on the same spot, I mentally prefer to call him Rex. That Mox seems somewhat harsh, maybe because I just don’t want to call him Mox as I feel it sounds odd.
‘Welcome to the park, Rain’.
What? That’s someone else voice in my head. Looking at Rex, I want to think the new voice belongs to him but he didn’t move.
‘Who are you?’ I asked in a whispered back in the mind link.
‘It’s Hawk’ the voice whispered back in amusement.
A small smile spread across my face as I try not to laugh. We can only hear our voice, why the heck is he whispering?
I want to thank Rex, to thank him for giving me that sense of belonging but I couldn’t. Not when I am still scared to be close to him before he maybe rip my heart out. The fact that he had maybe wanted to mark me without my concept hurts me.
‘Moral’ Ashina suddenly said ‘Not every move from Rex is good, some can just be to take advantage of us and I love It!’. She squeaks.
What?
Frowning in disbelief as I hear the door open, I turned back to see Hawk standing with a wide smile on his face. His gaze moved toward Rex who still had his back at us and for the next few minutes of silence, I can vouch that they are minds linking each other.
I wish I can hear them, I am just too excited to hear their voices in my head.
It didn’t take much longer for Hawk to move aside and point outside the room for me. Looking back at Rex’s office, I wish I do not have to leave. But I have to, who knows if my mate would want to do something evil this time again? Just as how Delta Axon who to tell me before we grew apart, the second is never a mistake.
Walking out of the office with a plain face, I refused to look at Hawk’s face. Grateful he didn’t try to start a conversation with me till someone walked past me and bumped her shoulder with mine. Maybe because the person didn’t apologize, For a reason yet known to me, I stopped to know where the person is walking to.
A woman, maybe somehow the same age as me full of charisma. Her red heels made pop sounds as she buried her interest in the phone she is operating. Her back-length black hair moved like ocean waves.
‘She better not be going to mate’s office’ Ashina growled as we watched her enter the office ‘Oh she did’.
Pissed, I want to go back. I want to pull her hair out of my mate’s office but before I could get off my anger, I heard the door bolt. Quickly, I look up at Hawk who immediately avoided my gaze and gently held my upper arm.
“You won’t love to wait,” Hawk said.
He soon let go of my arm as we got out of the building to the main park. Let’s call it the training ground of the park because that’s all they seem to be doing.
Wolves fighting, running, shifting, some even just standing naked.
‘Nudity is a wolf thing’ Ashina remained me.
Occasionally, I would close my eyes or look away whenever I get to see any naked wolf. I didn’t get to see many naked wolves at my previous Park because I had no time to train. All I did was work, get picked on, work, work, get beaten, eat the little I see, then work.
It’s awkward why I feel so left out, especially as Hawk leads me to a room and leaves without saying a word.
‘Change into something good for training’ he mind linked me ‘You can check the baby’s side for your size” he added.
What?
I can’t be mad because I am obviously small and I can’t be happy that I didn’t get mad because Hawk just called me a Baby! I am a 22 years old wolf and in a few weeks, I would be 23.
Going through the cabinets, it’s just so annoying how I can not find my size. Still yet, I do t want to check the children’s side, I must let Hawk know that I am not a baby and I can get something good to wear in the adult section.
‘What if Rex is having something to do with that woman?’ Ashina suddenly said.
Really?
What if he is in his locked office with that lady maybe making out or probably having sex on his table? What if the lady is the one behind the reason Rex is not treating me like his mate?
Shivering while my lips quivered, I hugged myself. Tears flow freely down my eyes and I had no choice than to let it out, to let the tears out.
‘Why?’.
Why can’t I just be happy? Why can’t people see me as a living thing or my mate see me as his mate? The fact that he wanted to mark me today without telling me or acknowledging that he is supposed to ask for my opinion scares me.
“Maybe I am not useful after all,” I said to myself.
Yes!
Camille used to tell me that but I never believed. I was trying to have that hope that would never come just as how my mate is in his office behind closed doors with a woman I have no idea who she is.
Slowly walking to a chair I found close by, I sat down. If I can escape today’s training, I am sure no one would notice. After all, I am one tiny horrible look wolf for another park to be held captive by her mate who doesn’t want me.
What if it’s just better I go back before it’s too late? Alpha Brook and Alpha Jason would be happy to have me back, I would just apologize as I always do and all with be back to normal.
It would go back to my regular despicable living where I would wake up to gather the dirty clothes day-to-day and do other things after that. I would get harassed, bullied, beaten, starved, and then continue my life in my dark room alone.
‘It’s going to be fine, Rain’ Ashina said ‘It’s going to be’.
I paid no attention to her because I k ow what she is trying to do is to just make me feel better and it was not working. In fact, I don’t want to pay attention to the person that opened the door. Even though the person smells like mate and I desperately want to jump into his arms, I just don’t want to.
Ashina whined, and she grumbled, I bet she knows I am a girl of my word already but she just wants to keep trying in vain. Not even the annoying sounds the person made or the pop sounds… wait a minute.
I looked up to stare at the person who happen to be the lady that had entered Rex’s office.
Her hair seems rough, her lips stick almost wiped off, and she is not looking happy even when she smells strongly of Rex.
Kicking off her shoes to have her down to almost my level, I rolled my eyes. Imagine her fake height when she is just a few inches taller than me for real. Well, that didn’t change the fact that I am 5. 1 and look more like Camille’s height, 5. 6.
With her hands folded across her breasts, she glared at me. Let’s just make it equal as we are both glaring at each other while I imagine all manner of awful things I wish I can do to her.
‘Kick her ass, Rain!’ Ashina growled.
That would be no, not when I would obviously not survive if she try to attack me.
