22- Never
Chassy
Early in the morning, I found Sims and Allie waiting for me in the living room of the pack house. “You already had your breakfast?” I asked,
“We’re waiting for you,” Allie replied. Yeah, they couldn’t eat without me. Or maybe they just didn’t want to go into the dining hall and see everyone in there who I know they didn’t want to see. How do I know that? Because I feel the same. They stood up and followed me so we would be able to get the breakfast done.
Everyone looked at us when we entered, and I saw Xander in his usual seat. Memories flashed back from when I was still an omega serving these people. “C, what do you want?” Sims asked,
“Anything,” I replied. He would surely get my food along with his, but an omega stopped him from doing so when they placed a plate of food on their table but not on mine. The two looked at me, and I just shrugged my shoulders.
Allie pushed his plate in front of me, so I smiled at him, but he just rolled his eyes at me. Yes, they could do that for me. We are more of their siblings than an alpha to them. The closer we are to each other, the better our fights synchronize.
“Get al-” Xander tried to say, but I stopped him.
“It’s fine, Alpha.” He looked at me, and then I continued, “I didn’t want to make any of your pack members feel uncomfortable or whatever; we will eat somewhere else and we will be back in time for the meeting.” Then I got up, followed by my beta and gamma.
“Where are we going to eat?” Sims asked as we started walking out of the dining hall. I could feel their stares, but I didn’t care.
“Let’s go to Dad’s,” I replied.
“Dad?” asked the voice I thought I had already forgotten. “Did you say your dad?” she asked again. I turned and looked at the woman, whose face I thought I had already forgotten as well. This is the woman that my dad loved so much and was feeling guilty about. The truth is, I do understand Dad leaving her. The guilt must have eaten him so much, and until now, I know that he was still feeling that way as if it only happened yesterday.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
But I also think that he should have talked to this woman first. She might have understood him since I knew how much she loved him. To the point that she hated me, her daughter because he left us.
“Yes, my dad,” I answered.
“Where, where is he? Is he happy with his new wife?” she asked continuously. So she thought that he had left for another woman.
“He’s fine. And I don’t know about his happiness about being with another woman, since he has never had anyone except his mate.” I replied, and I saw her eyes widen.
“That can’t be; he left because he wasn’t happy with me anymore and found a new love for another woman,” she replied,
“If that’s what you want to believe in,” I said, looking at Sims and Allie. “Let’s go; I’m starving,” I told them.
“You know what, C, I’m sure that your dad is going to get mad at you for doing this. You know what happened yesterday. Do you want to give him a heart attack?” Sims asked worriedly.
“We’re not going to do anything; we will just eat and come back here. I already promised him and Daddy Jay that I was going to do this, right?”
“Chastity!” I heard Xander call me instead of my beta’s reply. I looked at him, and he looked at my mother, who was still standing where she was earlier. He must have taken pity on her, but I didn’t. She talked to me as if she had never done me wrong.
“Merlisa, to my office,” Xander told her, and I didn’t think that I was going to like what he was going to say next.
“Let’s talk in my office,” he said, looking at me seriously as my mother started to walk her way to the alpha’s office.
“For what?” I asked, and I saw her stop and look at us again.
“So you will be able to talk to her.”
“What are we going to talk about?”
“C,” Sims said, trying to calm me. He already knew that I was starting to get angry because the last thing I wanted to talk about was my mother.
“Calm down, C.” Allie said as well.
“I am calm,” I replied, and I looked at Xander.
“You don’t need to tell me what to do. I’ll talk to her if I want to and if I have a reason to do so. But since there was nothing I needed from her, I don’t see any reason to talk to her either.”
“She’s your mother.”
“I don’t remember having one,” I replied as I looked him in the eyes and heard my mother gasp. Yes, I still call her that way because I know that she’s my mother. She was the one who gave birth to me. She was the one who lost her wolf so I could live. If not for those reasons, I would never acknowledge her. It’s not as though she did it even after knowing the consequences, but she still suffered, and I only recognized her suffering. But that doesn’t justify his actions and treatment toward me.
“Chastity,” Xander called me again, and I admitted it. It feels and sounds good. For a moment, I wanted to run to him and be engulfed in his embrace because of the pain that started to build up inside me because of the woman who should have been the first one to take care of me but didn’t.
“There’s no harm in talking,” he still said, trying to persuade me.
“She had talked to me for years, and it harmed me.” I replied, “We will just eat at Dad’s, and we will be back before the meeting starts. As much as possible, I want to end it by the end of the day. My pack needs me and my beta and gamma. I don’t have time to linger here harboring untoward feelings over someone who doesn’t matter to me.” I continued, “Sims, Allie, let’s go!” I said it in a cold, solid voice, making them feel my superiority.
I am not going to be in pain again. Even Xander or the woman who gave birth to me won’t ever hurt me. Never!
