ALPHAS Rejected LUNA

Chapter 6: Lonely

Veda Asher's POV

Karlee had caught a glimpse of my Mom before she came into the room.

“Are you sure you don't have the needles and thread, I need to fix my dress?” Karlee said walking away from me. She was beginning to act as though she had come into my room for that purpose.

I just kept mute and didn't want to reply to that disguising question then I remembered her last word before my Mom stepped into the room. I had to act a though nothing happened.

“Yea, I have one in my wardrobe” I replied

“Okay, then get it for me" Karlee yelled

My Mom was just stunned and staring at Karlee. she should be wondering why Karlee is in my room at this time of the day.

I went to my wardrobe got the needle and thread and handed it over to Karlee than she left my room, leaving me with my Mom alone.

I was beginning to quiver, I don't want my Mom to demand that I tell her why Karlee came into my room, if that happens I wouldn't know how to lie to cover it especially if my Mom saw her touching me before entering my room.

My Mom watched her leave and said no word to her. I guess she didn't want to stir a fight this morning with Karlee or rather she is confused about her mission for coming into my room.

“Why did Karlee come into your room, what did she say or do to you?” My Mom asked with a soft voice.

“Nothing, Mom”

“What did she do to you!” Mom yelled this time.

I got the jitters and didn't know if I should tell her the truth or not.

“Did she see anything prior?” I thought before I could reply.

“Mom, I mean it. She did nothing to me, she came to get the needle and thread”

“You need to be careful with karlee, she doesn't like you, by the way, I have got good news for you,” Mom said jerking her feet in a roulette dance style.

I giggled to hear my Mom saying she has good news for me. It had been ages since I heard Mom talk in such a way, I hope it is really good news indeed.

"Okay, calm down now Veda" Mom tries to hold me still, as she explodes with joy.

"I mean… I just wanted to say your 18 years birthday is coming up in about a few days and you know we will have a celebration and most especially you will be ready to go for the shifting ceremony" Mom beams.

"Ooh, Mom!..Ooh, Mom! Ooh my God did you just say a celebration. I had never had one in my entire life, I use to think you were just punishing me for a crime I didn't know when I committed because you never had any celebration me" I left my joy run wide.

“No, baby! Why would punish you by not celebrating your birthday? It has been the packhouse tradition for celebration to only be happy at the 18 years birthday, so you will have one now” Mom replied rubbing my cheek before she gave me a deep hug.

“Yeah! Mom, I know my birthday is around the corner and I like the celebration but most I go for the shifting ceremony?” Veda frowned folding her hands around her chest.

“Baby! Don't cause me sorrow by making such a statement. Why won't you go to the shifting ceremony!

It is compulsory for every girl who has come of age in the packhouse. I guess when you get there you will like what you will hear and seep” Mom yelled at me.

“No Mom I don't think, I will like whatever I will hear at the shifting ceremony” I smirk walking away from my Mom to get my markup from my box.

“Come back here, Baby!” Mom yelled.

I delayed abit just to let Mom know I was unhappy with the idea than I heard.

“I know you are not deaf Veda because I never gave birth to you deaf, come to the spot where you were stood in front of me and never you walk out of me again” Mom groans.

I dragged my feet back to the spot where my Mom ordered me to return. I kept mute in front of her, pouting my lips. I don't seem to be excited as I used to be those days when I hear it is my birthday coming, maybe I have come of age I guess, but I am still grateful for life.

My Dad wouldn't ever in his life even remember my birthday talk more of celebrating but I know I have a sweet sugar pie, Mom. She is just the best anyone one could wish for, just that she nags uncontrollably and I bleed to know my Mom nags but I can't reject her. She is my Mom and I love the way she is.

Mom left me in my room and went for her business. I heard that when it is shifting ceremony the Deltan's in the packhouse gets to run errands and tidy the place for the Alphas.

My Mom will be having to tend the Alphas house this evening in preparation for the shifting ceremony and I hope she doesn't think of me going with her because I just don't like stress.

Nevertheless, I know she will have a long day and I am going to miss her but I will just play with my bear and be cool.

But I have a big problem to deal with and it is Karlee Keya's Mom. She was the one who came into my room and I don't want to think of what she is trying to do with me. Well, I will let it slid.

“Veda, I am off to the Alphas house” Mom screamed from the living room?

"Bye Mom" I yelled back and sighed relief.

Spoon it was approaching evening so I had to go take my dinner and go back to have some rest.

I was already on my bed and I had my teddy bear beside me but I couldn't just sleep. I felt disoriented so I rolled up from my bed and went into the kitchen to take some water.

I got back to my room slid into my blanket, about to take a full dose of sleep.

I notice an unusual thing in my bed and I screamed, I had never touched anything as such before in my bed and worst of it all is that I had turned my room light off.
