Arya’s POV
It was with my last strength I managed to get myself out of the bar and trudged home.
When I got in, the silence was deafening. I felt alone and lonely. No one wanted to talk to me. I walked to the palace abd when to my son’s room.
Chamberlain was sleeping. He had a cute smile on his face. And for same time since the day started, I smiled. Grinned rather.
I went to her and kissed his head. Putting the covers up to his chin, I patted the bed and walked away.
At least one of us was happy.
********************************************************
I walked into the house to hear a Glass break. I peered into my kitchen.
No one was there. Then a secony glass break and another.
My heart pounded in my ears. I grabbed a base ball bat by the door.
” Some one’s about to get it this morning” I said under my breath as I dropped my bag.
I tiptoed uptairs, ehgn I saw no one in the kitchen. Everywhere was dead quiet. I knew my house like the back of my hand. I knew immediately where the noise was coming from. It came from the extra bedroom downstairs.
So when I got to the room, I went to the opposite room. My doors were open which would avail the intruder to enter any room. I scrunched behind a wall and waited.
No one was in sight. There was silence. Thick silence that could be cut by a knife. But I knew that I had one advantage. My ears. Mika says that when in doubt, always listen.
I walked slowly and quietly towards the other room and the coast was also clear.
I looked around and felt something. It was someone breathing. Then I became quiet. You could say I didn’t breath.
Suddenly, I heard another sound of broken glass coming from my kitchen and immediately tiptoed towards there.
I hid at the back of the door of the kitchen and I saw a silhouette standing in the kitchen. And there was my chance. I didn’t hesitate. I swung the bat and it hit the intruder, who fell and crashed with the glasses on the floor.
“Arrgh!!” The intruder screamed, falling on the floor. Wait a minute. That voice sounded familiar. Then suddenly recognition dawned on me. I switched the kitchen light on.
“Mika?” my eyes almost fell off my eyes as I ran towards her .
“Shit! Arya! you had to render me immobile” she said writhing on the floor.
“oh my gosh! Mika I didn’t know that was you.” I helped her stand but she fell again.
“Yea it’s partly my fault.” she muttered as she rubbed her head. I finally helped her stand as I took her to my sitting room. I ran into my kitchen as I searched for my first aid. Her leg was bleeding.
Finally I saw it and ran to her . I got a bowl and cleaned the wound. If bled profusely.
“Aargh!!” she screamed as the clinical scissors stuck into her skin, cleaning out the wound.
“l’ m sorry Mika, there is no numbing tablet” I said.
She gave me a pained smile, “You are too quick to react… anyway I like that” she looked at the wound. ” Chase is lucky to have you”
I didn’t answer or acknowledge her words. I didn’t want to talk about that now.
After dressing her leg, I stood up to go to the kitchen when my eyes caught sight of a deep wound on her arm. Mika followed my eyes.
” I didn’t do that” I said.
“I know Arya”she smiled sadly. I didn’t want to ask her outrightly. I know she has been through a lot.
Mika looked into my face and smiled. “Thank you”
I squinted. ” What for?”
She nodded. “For being kind to me”
Now was my turn to smile. ” Come on its nothing.”
In that moment, she tried to go on her knees flbkt I immediately stopped her. “What are you doing?”
“I never got to ask you for forgiveness” she couldn’t look me in the face ” after what I did”
“Hey” she looked up. “Don’t beat yourself up about it. It’s no big deal. It’s happened a long time okay?”
Mika didn’t talk to me. ” But I –
“No buts”
She nodded with a bright smile on her face. I stared at her and sighed. People change. The memory of her being on serious when she was working here ran throgghy my mind. Now look at her. She’s All skinny and-
Only then did it occur to me that I hadn’t offered her anything.
“Please don’t mind my manners what will you eat?”
Mika peered into my kitchen. ” Do you have done meat loaf?”
“Sure”
“Okay I’ll take meat loaf”
I went into the kitchen, mixed one and two into a plate and presented it to her.
She thanked me and began to eat Hungrily. I wondered when last she must have had a decent Meal.
” Chase will be happy to see you if y-”
Mika began to cough. ” Here have some water’
She drank and when she put it down, she turned to me. “Arya the alpha mustn’t know I was here”
“Why?”
Mika sighed and sipped on het drink. ” He banished me. Told me never to appear in his presence” Mika said she went to the human world but couldn’t blend. She kept getting in trouble. She came back and began to love amongst the rogues. She was in the bar drinking when she saw me. She followed me home and came in while I left through the kitchen window. She had planned to eat my food by midnight or some time later and quietly leave. But the breaking of glass from the cupby where she hid announced her presence.
I couldn’t believe it. I thought he had killed her or something.
“But still-”
She shook her head telling me not to push the matter..
So we sat in silence. Mika aye the meat loaf slowly. Suddenly she turned to me.
“What of you and him? I thought you guys would be popping babies by now”
I scoffed. ” Which baby?”
“What happened?”
And so I told her everything. She gasped. Told Mr my faults. And turn asked me what I would do either Jake.
An idea popped up in my head.
“What if I forgive him?”
“What?” Mika shrieked.
