Althea Garcia Hela Silvermoon

I did not want to leave this room today. But I wanted to see his face again. I debated with my heart until it made me give up and I got ready for the day.

My appetite seems to have cease to exist as I didn't feel hunger or the need to eat. My eyes searched for that tall muscular figure with the piercing blue eyes. Every time I saw a blond hair, I would crane my neck to see their face.

None of them was him though. He had this softest looking sandy blond hair. I wanted to feel it against my hands. I wanted to touch his smooth yet slightly chiselled face. I want to know what it feels like. Although I feel like I know it. I want to remind myself of those feelings. Just once. Let me find you. Let me feel you.

Oh dear goddess, if you are up there, please hear my plea, let me see him once again. I close my eyes and clasped my hands together in front of my chest. Please.

I slowly opened my eyes as the door on my left creaks open. Then there he stood. The man that I longed to see. Finally, this time, he too was staring down at me. He sucked in a breath and my heart stopped beating.

His eyes looked hungry. Almost as if he wanted me too. I know I did. Then I saw pain fill those blue orbs. No, please. My own heart squeezed tightly upon seeing his pain.

But all his emotions disappeared as soon as it came. Now he just stood there, empty, void of any emotions, just a vessel for his soul.

"I-I" I gulped. "Do I know you?" I manage to ask even though it was barely a whisper.

I saw his jaws clench as his eyes became hard. For a second. Just for a second. I saw immense pain in them before he turned on his heels and walked away from me. Again.

He disappeared around the corner. No. This cannot be it. I ran after him only to find that he was gone. I ran down the stairs and out the door but there was no sign of him.

I stopped to finally catch my breathing. My chest raises and falls as I took deep breaths in, but it was my heart that was hurting not my starved lungs. Then I heard his painful howl again.

I felt my eyes sting as tears made its way down my face.

It's not her.

Don't stop, keep walking away.

Those eyes. It's not hers. It's not my Althea. The only person I will ever want. And she was not it.

But for some reason my heart hurts as I remember those blue eyes of hers, so dark yet so mesmerising but they were pained. Why was she hurting? Was she truly hurt? She seemed to be in so much pain.

Matt, go and check on the human if she's okay. I mind link Matt.

On it, Alpha.

Then I shut the link as soon as I got the reply. I once again ran deep into the woods and shifted. I don't seem to have control over my wolf nowadays. I cannot even hold my own emotions.

I seem to have come back to the clearing where I first saw Althea and now, the human. At the same place. I let out a howl again, cursing the heavens again. If it couldn't give me my love back, the least it could do was take my life as well. I wanted it to end my life. This life of constant pain and misery.

The love that I wanted was not the love that I got.

These feelings were eating me up. The more I thought about it, the more questions, it raised. I couldn't even sleep today. The sun was now high up and shining brightly through the glass window, but I wanted nothing more to do with this day.

The knock on the door bought my eyes to the door, but I made no move to respond to it. After a few more knocks, the door opened up to reveal Natalie. "Oh my god, you were awake the whole time. Why didn't you answer?"

She starts shouting as she comes towards the bed and lays down next to me. "What are you still doing in bed? It's almost midday, you don't have enough time to get ready now."

I turn my head to the side to look at her. "Come on, up you go." She pushes my body towards the edge, forcing me out the bed, but I just roll on the bed, further from her reach.

"Althea. Hurry up." And now everyone was starting to call me by that name. I let out a breath at that.

"Why do you call me that?" I sit up and stare down at her.

"Well." She looks at me. "Noah calls you Althea. And so, does Alex, so I thought it was only right to call you Althea." She smiled at me as she sat up with a little difficulty due to her belly that seemed to be growing bigger each day.

"Now hurry. Or else you and I are going to be so late." I slowly get off the bed and stand up to look at her. My shoulder slouched as I barely kept my body standing. I was tired.

"Late for what?" I muttered tiredly.

"The BBQ that's going to take place-" There was loud commotion outside. "As we speak right now."

She gets off the bed and comes around to me and shoves me into the bathroom. "Hurry. Come out in ten minutes." She commands me as she closes the door shut behind me.

I somehow make it to the shower and turn it on. The warm water relieves some aches in my body but nothing more. I let the water wash away my tiredness until I finally decide that I was good then I wash myself.

I clear the foggy mirror and find a pair of tired blue eyes looking back at me. I sigh yet again as I see the visible dark circles against my pale complexion.

When I had enough of my own reflection, I wrapped a towel around my body and walked out the bathroom. Only to find Natalie dressed in a long flowy white dress looking stunning as she held out another white dress in her hand.

"Here, I got this for you." I eye the dress on her hand and slowly take it from her. "Why are we wearing a dress?" I furrow my brows at her.

"Just because", was her only reply.

I shake my head and put the dress over my head. Once the dress was on, I let the towel fall down and went to look for a white underwear. I didn't need to wear a bra as the top half of the dress sat nicely around my invisible chest with only a thin strap over my shoulders. But I like how it flowed waist down and the fact that it fully covered my body.

I wore the white sandals Natalie got for me before she dragged me out of the room after she quickly dried my hair. I was already this tired. I don't think I could make it through the day.

Once again, I sat by the tree with a cup of juice in my hand. I saw Noah playing with other kids, while Natalie joined Tray on the BBQ stand while Matt was talking to others. I saw Sam, Harry and even James somewhere in the far side of the field.

They were all talking, laughing, joking around. This place was filled with so much joy at this moment.

I smile a little as my heart seemed to be at peace. For once.
