12.THE LETTER
...... I growled in pain as I saw the note attached to the fridge.
"Arghhh" I screamed as I pulled my hair. I totally forgot I was going to start that stupid training.
Bree I know you would have forgot about your training with your brother today that is why I'm writing this note to remind you. I left some cooked spaghetti in the fridge, heat it up together with the sauce and have that for lunch, don't forget to call your brother when you are well rested.
_MUM.
I scrunch the papar in my hand and threw it at the fridge. I took out the spaghetti and sauce and heat it. I left for my room to freshen up not before picking my bag from the chair in the sitting room.
Changing out of my uniform, I picked my yoga pant and a tan top from my wardrobe, I picked my black converse from my shoe rack placing it at the edge of my bed. I walked into my bathroom to have a shower before getting dressed and calling my brother to pick me up for the training.
Entering the kitchen, I dished out the food I already heat earlier into a plate, pouring myself a glass of water, I carried my plate of food and water to the dinning.
Sitting here alone makes me miss New York more. If I was at NY I will either be in any of my best friends house.
I guess I only introduce one of them to yo, Clara the shy one amongst the three of us, the hyperactive is Jane, I miss her sassy words, she is ready to do anything for any one she loves. If she knew about Steve she would have probably cut off his balls.
Thinking about them, makes me want to hear their voice. We've been chatting on WhatsApp, video calling eachothers, but it not like when I do see them everyday. Losing my appetite, I packed up my left over and put it back into the fridge.
I dialed my brother's number, placing the phone to my ear waiting for him to pick up. The call went into voicemail, I growled inwardly as I silently prayed for him not to pick up his call so I could have an excuse to forfeit today's training.
I redial his number, it rang for a few seconds before he picked up. I grumble inwardly.
"Hello, Brew I'm kind of busy right now, a new alpha has just been inducted to the pack I and dad went to renew our alliance. The process is taking to long". He said.
"Does that mean no training"? I asked, with my eyes close as I kept whispering yes.
"Yes bree, there will be no training until we finalize our business here".
"Okay". I hang up, then scream in exictment fist bumping the air repeatedly. I paused my happy dance and slum on the chair and huffed, training is ditched but I'm going to be home alone, maybe I shouldn't have wished for my training to be canceled, at least if I was training I won't be bored out of my mind.
Yeah I know, but I'm not going to call Dora and ask for us to hangout and I'm yet to have lucy's number. My mother left a message that she would be going to look for a site to set up her skin care production company. I think I would just go out to explor more.
Locking the door behind me, I walked the short distance between the house and the main town.
I walked into a book store deciding to buy some books I could read when I'm less busy. Looking through the shelves for fascinating books, I picked five books that I really liked.
Holding the books in my arm, I walked toward the art section to get a new set of brush and paint but end up picking more than that, like I said before Art is my weakness.
I took the books and art material I got to the cashier at the end of the shop. the cashier who looks like a guy of my age, stands behind the machine scanning the goods I just brought, he kept sneaking looks at me. I stretched my credit card to him, he swipes it on his machine then hands back the card together with the receipt, but he kept look at me.
"you know it's kind of creep and offensive to stare at a person too long". I said, picking the nylon my things were put in.
"I'm sorry". He said bowing his head, I scoffed at him leaving his front.
I decides to eat out since I couldn't finish my food and my stomach is making grumbling sound.
I followed the smell of soup, I found myself standing in front of a small restaurant, I stepped into the restaurant, unlike the cafe I and dad... I mean Ruben went to, this place is shabby. The eye of everyone in the restaurant fall on me, all of their eyes looked worn out, some has hard glare, while some looked as if they will need rest for a week and it won't be enough.
Murmuring filled everywhere as I walked further into the room, it feel like I became Daniel in the Bible walking into the lion's den.
"Aubree". I stiffed at the call of my name by a timid familiar voice, I look at the direction where the voice came from. I saw Jasper standing behind the counters with an apron round his neck.
"Jasper". I looked at him in shock, I wasn't expecting what I saw, one he wasn't with his glass, two his hair was styled in a stylish way, not the rough way I saw it today at school. He stepped out of his counter and walked towards me, his straid is more confident than the way he bows his head in fear at school.
"What are you doing here"? He asked gripping my arm with a firm grip as he led me to an empty table at the back. I had my seat, he stood in front of me with his arm crossed. Wow, he his so different from the guy that has to seek permission to seat at the cafeteria.
"Why are you here Aubree"? He asked again, I looked round the cafeteria and notice everyone of them gaze was still on me.
"Can you at least tell them to face their business". I growled out. He doesn't have to say anything, at my words all attention in my direction seize. Better I thought to my self. I turned my attention back to Jasper.
"Why don't you get me that soup I came here for" I said, relaxing into my chair, he left to take my orders not before mumbling some incoherent words, this new Jasper is my new interest, maybe I underestimated him.
He came back with my order placing it in front of me. I took a spoon full of the soup, menh this is more than I expected. I continue to take spoon after spoon of the soup, I could feel Jasper's gaze on me. I look at him and saw a look of disbelief. I huffed in annoyance.
"What, can't you see I'm eating, you standing at my back watching me eat is pissing me off, are you even suppose to be this creepy with customer". He scowled at me before heading back to his counter. Did he just scowl at me, I can't wait to see how he will behave with me tomorrow, his goofy self or this confident side, I doubt the latter.
Having my fill of the soup, Jasper came back to my table with the bill. I scoffed at him before gesturing for him to have his seat. He grumbled before finally sitting. what does he think, I will see this side of him and let it slide like I didn't see him, I will know everything today.
"So you work here". I said gesturing round the restaurant. He looked at me with a furrowed brow.
"I thought serving you your order has confirmed that". he replied sarcastically. i raised my brow not expecting that.
"I mean you are more than a worker, judging by the way you left your duty post to gawk over me". I said giving him a pointed look.
"My mother owns this place, moreover why did you come here".
"To eat of course, what does it looks like to you, when you saw me scooping soup into my mouth".
"You could have gone to some other fancy restaurant". He grumbled out.
"Maybe because I was drawn to the tantalizing smell of your soup". I said shrug my shoulder.
"So, tell me what happened to your goofy glasses and hair"? I asked him, he shrugged his shoulders.
"My eyesight are normal, and can't I style my hair again".
"Why don't you style it to school today, and if your eyesight it normal why do you keep wearing glasses and hidding your amazing blue eyes". He looked at me in shock as I compliment his eyes, "what, why would you cover you blue eyes with those goofy glasses". He forced a cough as he tries to hid his face from me, I smirk at him was that a blush on his face.
"What"? He asked, still trying to hid his face.
"Nothing", I replied, "so why are you pretending in school, with this your present behavior you could have stuck up and defend yourself from Sophia". I said, he look at me dejected.
"You won't understand, you just got to this town and you just met me". I scoffed at him. As if I don't know that I'm new in this town.
"That is why you need to explain yourself before I get too deep in this wolf shit. Yes I know you are a werewolf an omega to be precise" he look at me not expecting me to know about wolf and his rank.
"yes I know you are an omega and I was told not to associate with one especially you".
"Maybe you should heed their words and stay away from me, I will just soil your already soiled reputation" he said gazing down at his entwined fingers.
"What do you mean by my already soiled reputation, I mean this is my first time living here apart from my birthday". I said wondering when or what I have done to have soiled my reputation here.
"You know just like the way lord voldermort marked Harry potter and he was taken to his uncle place when he was still a child but was still the talk of the town in his real realm and was later introduce to his real realm when he was of age". I look at him in confusion, how does harry potter relate with my reputation been soiled.
"The same thing happened to you eighteen years ago, you were marked by an exiled alpha and was taking out of the country to another, but in your absence your story was still told and now that you are of age you are been introduced back to your heritage". I look at him too stunned to say anything, I guess the reference to Harry potter was right but how does it relates with him been omega.
"As for staying away from me you have to listen, because my family line comes from the beta line of the alpha that marked you". Oh I thought to myself but why was his forefathers not exile like the alpha.
"We became omegas after the war, according to what I know the beta went with his alpha but his wife remained and automatically became an omega, they were not the only one that became omega the followers of the exile alpha also became omega".
"Wow this is big but why do you pretend in school, you still haven't answered me".
"I thought you were smarter than this," he scoffed at me "you should have figured it out after all my explanation" he said moving his tongue to form a click sound. I look back at him with raised brow.
"I pretend because, I'm protecting my people and families, you see anyone that is an omega is my family and the only way I can avoid bring trouble is to behave like a naive boy and let people walk all over me but when I'm in my home and with my people, I be myself". Wow, I know I can't stop saying that word since I got here, getting to know this part of him makes me want to spend more time with him.
"Moreover, if I don't keep to my self and becomes the confident person which I am, the high rankers will take it as a challenge to their tittle afterall the blood of a beta still runs through my vein. As for Sophia words, I don't know why but I find it cute, I just can't hate her, anything she doesn't looks quite entertaining". I look at him in horror as he says sweet things about Sophia bullies. Suddenly he became stiff and look at me with a serious face and said.
"Just like the way lord voldermort came back for Harry potter, your mate will come back for you". He then stands up and walked back behind the counter where he stood before.
The door to the small restaurant opened in came Dalton as his eyes travels round the restaurant in search of me of course. I rolled my eyes, stand up and went to him before he goes feral. Upon seeing me he took long strand to get to me faster. He gripped my hand before dragging me out of the place. I heard a faint growl as the door shut behind me.
"What the fuck where you doing here". He asked continuing dragging me to his car.
"I went to eat of course, I'm not a child anymore" I said as I huffed in annoyance stepping into his car. Unknown to me a pair of eyes was watching me as I drove off with my brother.
We got home, I met mum and d... Ruben waiting at the porch of the house.
"Bree, Dorothy told us what you did in school today, I know it not bad to help but we don't want people saying bad things about you". Is mother really having this conversation with me outside the house, she didn't even allow me step inside.
"Dorothy warned you about your associate with the omega but you refused and you even ate the food of omegas". Why does it bother them so much, my fate has been fixed i'm marked and there is no changing the hand of clock, so they should deal with it, I will get drawn to the alpha follwers, it is inevitable. Instead of saying this out I by pass them and went straight to my room.
Entering my room I jumped face down on the bed, turning my head towards my the bedside table I saw a white piece of paper, I sat up straight on my bed, took the paper, it was a letter address to my name from anonymous, it says:
i saw you for the first time in years, I can't wait to make things better with you. _only one for you.
My eyes bulged in fear.
