Chapter 6
“Our parents must be so proud of you, you complete and utter idiot.” I scolded him with a slap across the cheeks. Covering his face in surprise but not retaliating, he stood there and took it.
“Aurora, they do not know about her. Mum called me and said she was ill and wanted us all together as a family. So, come on please, we should get outta here.” He kept glancing over his shoulders like he was afraid someone was following us.
I was not going to stick around and become a part of his problem.
“I am going back to the place where I am happy, my life is there now and not in some messed-up dysfunctional drama land.” I told him firmly, I meant every word of it too.
It was true.
Alex looked really hurt by my words, but I did not let that get to me since that was all his own doing, I had always looked up to him and now, he went and mated with another mate’s girl, got her pregnant and now, has some crazy trouble after his throat.
Did he really believe that I wanted to be on the run half way across someone else’s territory with him?
He was very mistaken to think that I would be so stupid.
I was about to call Layla to come pick me up because I was so done with my brother and his bullshit, I was so disappointed in him for messing up his own life like this and dragging me into it. He had really lost the plot.
“No, you are not calling anybody, now get back in the damn car so we can get out of here and go and be with our mother before she leaves this world.” He shouted harshly in my face, causing me to burst into floods of tears.
He had never spoken to me like that or made me cry, but here I was, blubbering like a baby while he practically threw me back into the car and slammed the door behind him.
I hated him now, just like everyone else.
My vision was now blurred by my tears. I ignored him as he got back into the driver’s seat and drove off down the road. I remained silent and must have fallen asleep because next, we stopped. Opening my eyes, I sat up properly in my seat and looked out the window.
It was just as I remember.
We were back at the silver moon pack.
It was weird as hell to be back here after so many years. I had never forgotten that horrible day that Alpha Tyler rejected me in front of everyone.
But I was not that nerdy little freak anymore, I was stronger, confident and, above all, I knew how to handle myself better. Never again would I allow idiots like Tyler and Debbie to break me down again. Not ever.
Nothing prepared me for the sight of Tyler and Debbie just a few feet away from me.
“You lied to me and you think it’s okay to do that, you chose me as your Luna and I deserve much more respect than what you are giving me.” I heard Debbie scream at Tyler, her long brown curls tied back into a ponytail.
She looked pretty much the same as she always had, only a little more weight on her. I was curious about the little bump she seemed to be carrying. Tyler had never mentioned anything about her possibly being pregnant, but then again, I supposed he probably assumed that I would already have known about that.
“She was nothing, nothing compares to you, my baby girl. It is you that I want and you who I come to be with every night. You know that you are my number one.” Tyler reached out to her but she slapped him away.
I wondered if I could sneak away without being seen. I really did not want to be stuck in the middle of their domestic life.
Quietly opening the door, I climbed out and smiled to myself at how easily I had managed that. Taking a few more steps around the car, I snuck down and ran towards the woods.
“Aurora, where are you going?”
Oh damn!
I heard my brother shout out after me as he was coming out of the packhouse, probably to check if I was around or not.
“Aurora, what? Where?” I heard Debbie exclaim in a confused state as she turned around to see what or who my brother was shouting at.
As I turned, my eyes immediately locked with his.
Alpha Tyler.
I could see the shock on his face as he looked me up and down.
My heart was thumping like crazy in my chest, but in my head, all I felt was disgust and hatred towards the one that I had mistakenly been paired with by the moon goddess.
What the hell had she been thinking?
“You!” Debbie marched up to me like a crazy psycho. Tyler ran after her, shouting for her to calm down and to stop.
Of course, she was not about to listen to his commands.
“Aurora?” Alex was running as well.
“Get away from my sister.” Alex yelled as Debbie yanked my hair, pulling me right back towards her. She was angry at me.
And for what? Because I was back home?
Since I was supposed to be in her shoes, Luna and mated to her Alpha. She was the one who wore his mark and was about to bear him a child. An heir to the pack.
So, why would she possibly be so mad at me?
