Still can't believe it.
Azaria's POV
I walked into my room after I was back home and for the first time I could see how small our house was. My room was small. So was Ariana and Lukas's. It wasn't because I compare my house to my best friend's house, like I always did. It was that feeling I had read about in a novel. The character had gone a trip away from hinge and only to come home to find almost everything looking small in their eyes.
Then, was 2 days a long time to have this same feeling. I slowly walked to my table and picked up my diary. I flied through and Nicholas's name was scattered everywhere. I closed my eyes to block away the thought of our kiss. Damn! he was so cool and hoy then, never in my life did I think I would be able to kiss him.
I took in a deep breath and walked to the bed and sat. There was a knock on my door and I swiftly looked up.
"Who is there?" I yelled. I asked that I wanted to be alone. My siblings wouldn't just let me be would they?
"It's my dad!" the voice on the end screamed back. Shut my eyes. Guilt ate at me for having that previous thought.
I smoothed my bed and arranged my dress.
"Come in!" and the door to my bed room opened for me to find my father.
He smiled entry at me. "Can I talk with you sweetheart" I smiled.
"Off course dad" I tapped the other side of the bed. It was something I had picked from him when I wanted to talk to him. Dad walked into my room and sat beside me. For like a few seconds he didn't say a word. Then he smiled at me and I smiled back.
"Are you hurt anywhere? I mean did the kidna—"
"Dad before they could Nicholas had killed them" I said. Dad stared at me for like a few seconds and then quickly nodded.
"Yes yes, he would. He is a strong young man" he said. I nodded alongside him. Dad squeezed his hands and coughed. I narrowed my eyes a smile was gently creeping up my lips. Was dad nervous?
"Dad is alright" he turned to me, his stared into my eye. That was his way of saying really. "Really dad, I am fine"
Dad nodded. "Alright baby." he smiled. "I just wanted to know if you are okay. He turned to me. "Has his mark become obvious already?"
I moved my hair aside and showed him a mark I saw on my neck, with his side mirror that morning and then the one on my wrist. It was a cute N.
Dad's eyes widened. "Wow" he muttered. Then he began to smile. And I was immediately thrown back to 2 years ago. When he had been staring at my neck, and wrist for any mark. He was doing that on almost all transition year and I would watch his face fall like a pack of cards when he saw nothing.
"Does it hurt?" he asked out of the blue. I shook my head. "Alright. That's good." Then he stood up. Then he turned to me. "Baby?"
"Huh?" I said looking up at him.
"I want you to know that I am not pressuring you to have him as a mate. If you don't like him, you can also reject him" he said. I stared at my dairy and a small smile crept its way to my face. I was far gone with my feelings for Nicholas to reject him but one thought crossed my mind and that smile was instantly wiped off my face.
Ashely.
She hasn't been picking my calls after I left the palace with my Dad. Someone coughed. I was suddenly reminded that my dad was looking at me "I quickly turned to him, plastering a smile. " I am okay dad. I can manage Nicholas. "
Dad narrowed his eyes at me. He didn't look really convinced but he responded with just a nod and I was happy he did. I wasn't ready to say anything to him now.
He then proceeded to tell me that he had informed the man with werewolf son's that I had found a mate. Just before he left the door, we could hear a jock at that door.
"Are you expecting anyone?' I shared at dad and he shook his head. And then he left my room to go answer.
When he went down, I stayed quiet to listen and then hissed. Our neighbors had brought food over. I was wondering, like what these guys took us for. They wouldn't give us food when we were in dire need, only to hear that my mate was the alpha and they're suddenly friendly. I sighed and flopped down in my bed. These people were the least of my worries.
I have to find out a way of getting Ashley to talk too meshed wouldn't be angry that I was now her brother's mate. I mean I was a person too and deserved love. She wasn't the only one with feelings.
I tried her number one last time and she didn't ring. So I texted her. Then I went on to bring out my clothes for school.
I wonder how school will be like now I was Nicholas's mate.
*************************************************************************************
I had slept, thinking about what school would be like but the moment I left the house, nothing and I mean noting prepared me for what I would face as Nicholas's mate and the future Luna of the pack.
Firstly there was a car waiting outsold my house to take me to school. It was expensive and screamed of affluence. The diver said it was sent by Nicholas. My siblings were on smiles as we rode to school.
Then when we got to school, I was flabbergasted at the number of eyes on me. Like there were too many people. If I had a 100 pairs of eyes on me before it had tripled.
I even had the leader of the cheerleaders smile and compliment my skirt. I was surprised suddenly everyone wanted to be my friend.
So this is what it feels like to be as popular as Ashely? But I was worried deep down because I knew for a fact that if a lot of people liked you, you had to be prepared to also be hated by a lot of people.
