Arya’s POV
I paced the ends of my sitting room. Like a butterfly trapped in a bottle, I couldn’t sit one place. The silence in the room reminder me of how loud my voice was.
Finally I got a hold of myself and took a seat.
I sat there, replaying everything that had just happened, trying to understand the part I had played in all of this. I had told him exactly what was on my mind-though not in the best words. But now he knew. He was a killer, and he needed to stop. I couldn’t bear to hear those words from the maids again.
Even though Chase had gotten me this new house-away from the palace and its troubles-it still bothered me what others thought of my man. And that was why I had confronted him.
I kept replaying our conversation from this morning. In my head, I kept making excuses for flaring up, but deep down, I knew it was just my guilt talking. It ate away at me like termites devouring wood.
But I shouldn’t have called him a beast. That was cruel.
I brushed the thought aside, deciding I would apologize later. Maybe a bath would help me cool down. I stepped into the bathroom, letting the water run over me, hoping to wash away my frustration.
But the moment I stepped out, I felt the exact opposite.
I was still mad at Chase.
Why had he let me talk to him like that? He was Chase King. He could have stopped me, ordered me as the Alpha, done something-anything. But instead, he had just stood there, surprised, while I ran my mouth like a typewriter.
He should have stopped me.
Taking in a deep breath I went into my Closet and grabbed a dress. I needed to talk to someone.
Kelsi. Yes.
I put on a sandal, paired was the mu dubglowr dress. I rushed out of that house.
First I’ll see Chamberlain. I think he doesn’t have school today. Then I’ll talk to Kelsi.
********************************************************
“Kels?”
“Hmm”
“You okay?”
“Yes”
I scratched my head. I found Kelsi in her room. I thought she would be in tht garden or something.
I watched get take get clothes and fold each without even givings me a glance.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes”
But that did not seem like it. It was like I were not on good terms? Wait? Does she know about that soay I had with Chase.
Kelsi was fond of being diet of loyal-sired to Chase. One day I finally asked her why, she said it was because he paid up her parents debt. It wasn’t just money because he was the read she was able to stand in front of other werewolves and not feel shame.
Since our original pack, the east high was. not some where we lived, she say she felt better not staying there. I agree with her. I couldn’t even stay because of what Jake had done. My son was the big reason I was here.
I sighed.
“Kelsi alright stop playing around and tell me what I did- I mean if you don’t or can’t tell me what wrong, I had done, how do you expect me to apologize”
Kelsi looked up from the clothes she was Folding. “You know what you did Arya”
“What did I do?”
She glared at me and dropped the clothes. ” Why do you always like to ruin things?”
“What? I don’t under-”
“You have something good goin on for you and you went ahead to ruin it”
I sauinted my brows. It was then I knew I fucked up. I felt terrible bit acting surprised would help me to lessen the blame Kelsi was going to have on me.
” Oh please come off it, you know you didn’t do well. You know it. Deep down your heart”
And then she left me in the room. Alone with my thoughts and particularly my guilt. I sat still
Thinking.
I have to do something. I have to ask for forgiveness. I’ll beg. Grovel too.
I dashed out of her room and straight into the alpha’s quarters. The first thing I noticed that made my heart sank into my stomach was a guard stopping me.
Before, the guards never stopped me. In fact, he smiled at me.
“You can’t go in there”
“Why?”
‘yoir highness said he doesn’t want to be disturbed”
“What?”
The guard nodded. I looked around. Maybe if he heard my voice, he would talk to me.
“Chase!!!!”
“Miss Arya” the Guard stepped forward.
“Wait a moment, he’s going to let me in, if he heard my voice” I said. “Chase!!! open up, we need to talk!”
“Miss Arya, you are disturbing the alpha, please leave. I don’t want to-”
“Please be patient, he’ll come out now I-”
“Miss Arya?
I turned around to find Angus.
“Hi Angus” I walked up to him. ” I need to see the alpha but the guard wouldn’t let me”
Angus nodded. He leaned on a bit. ” The alpha had gone on a business trip”
My eyes widened. “What?”
“Yes. He’s not in there now” he said and wr tbto the door. He opened it and I could see it. No one was in there”
I blinked. Was this don’t joke.
“So where did he go?”
“To the human world.” Angus said. “He had done unfinished business with his company”
********************************************************
“Hey lady what do you want?”
“I want your strongest drink” I said quietly. The bar bustled with people as I looked around. All I wanted was to drown myself in alcohol. To forget how stupid I was. How could I have done this.
Now nobody wants to talk to me.
Glass after glass. I noticed my eyes were becoming blurry. I knew I had to leave. I came with no one and I could be robbed if I stayed till night fall.
Just as I took a drink that I intended to be my last, my eyes caught on something.
It was a guy and a girl. They seemed like a couple
They were acting all sweet and cute. It reminded me of early this morning with Chase.
What a difference a few hours can make.
