chapter 16
Hayley's POV
True strength is not how powerful you are but knowing when to attack and when to retreat.
I muttered strings of curses as I started my car engine. I was so close so !@$# close yet that silly,annoying Raysa had to stop me. As I drove home I listened to My heart is broken by evanescence. (I added the YouTube video I hope it plays... I seem to have bad luck when it comes to this feature.)
(Hope you enjoy the song)
The song really described how I felt. My heart was broken and without Connor in my life I wasn't complete I was only half of a person and less of a wolf and future alpha.
As I pulled onto my street I saw rows of fancy SUVs and I shuddered,it was the thrid Saturday of the month the family pack meeting day. For centuries my family was a dominating wolf pack with a rich cultural history and extremely noble origin. In the human world we were aristocrats and excelled at everything. To me it was as if our entire family came straight out of a fairy tale. I parked my car and entered through the front door as soon as I did all eyes turned to me...
"Hayley," my farther rumbled "why are you so late and more importantly where is your mate the entire family has gathered here waiting to see him."
I dropped my keys and began to shiver. They wanted to see Connor.... I wasn't prepared for this... I had to lie and lie quickly otherwise who knows what they might do to me.
"He's uh um on his way.." I wearily stuttered."
Shifting awkwardly from foot to foot.
I received several skeptical faces. My mother decided to speak.
"Well you can't possibly want him to see you looking like,like that." She said with disgust in her voice.
I looked down at my clothes I looked like of i'd been through world war 1,2 and 3!
"Yeah... I better change..." I muttered before going up to my room where I instantly collapsed on my bed and cried.
Everyone was just so mean to me. Ever since I was a little girl. My parents resented me because I was born first making me the heir to the pack and not Bruce. I was never smart or talented and was way to shy to be like my mother and flirt with several rich boys. I was basically a disappointment. When I was 15 they began coming down on me to find a mate. Stating that soon my shelf life would expire and no one would want me. I tried telling them that I was just 15 and still had plenty of years to go but my family is rooted in the dynamics of ancient civilization so it was pointless. I knew Connor all my life and to be honest I never really liked him. Even though I was shy and basically a disgrace to my family name I couldn't bring myself to even associate with such a loser. I would pick on him because I needed closure. I needed stability and to know that I wasn't weak. I wasn't really trying to be mean ... I just wanted to be dominant and get people to fear and respect me but I see now that being in control of others may be a sign of power but being in control of yourself is the strongest power of all and I was weak in both areas. I lifted my head of my white mascara stained pillow. I had to get Connor here I just had to. I reached for my phone my fingers trembling as I dialed his number.
Please answer please answer I muttered as the phone rang... he picked up.
"Connor..." I bawled the fact that I was crying evident in my voice."
"Um what do you want Hayley." His voice was cold yet soft.
"Can you come over... please... I owe you an explanation for today...."
I heard him sigh... open his mouth... hesitate... sigh and hesitate again.
"Hmmm.... I guess it wouldn't hurt ... give me an hour I'll be there.. "
With that I hung up the phone and was relieved. I decided that I should take a shower and look my best for when Connor got here if he thought Bianca was hot I can't wait to here what he says about me.
Ok I'll see if I could get one more chapter in today. I had violin classes so I wasn't home. I hope you all are enjoying the story. Also pretty soon I'm going to be revealing a lot more things about Hayley's past that may change the way you see her. Also what's happening with Bianca?? Will she be alright???? And what does Raysa have to tell Connor. Please vote and comment. I always read my comments and I must say I really appreciate all the support I'm getting for this story. All of you readers are amazing thanks for encouraging me to write.
