Halloween! The beta's daughter

chapter ten

"Who are you?" Phoebe asked, everyone's eyes fixed on Angela who awkwardly stood besides me.

"Let's go up to my room," I said completely ignoring them. I grabbed her hand and led her up the stairs straight to my room.

"Your pack is scary," she said with a chuckle, sitting down on my bed while her eyes roamed all over the room, "and damn your room is big and pretty I love it!"

" Glad you do," I giggled lightly sitting besides her and she continued telling me all about herself and me telling her the basic things about me and ensuring that I didn't tell her anything about my personal life lest she uses it against me.

We proceeded to watching movies and me making snacks for us and to say the truth this was the first time that I had actually hunged out with someone and even though she was on a mission, it was one of the best days of my life and I low key wished that she was a genuine person who just wanted friendship but I knew that was just wishful thinking, no one ever wanted to be friends with me unless they wanted something and I was used to it.

"Would you look at the time," she said looking at her phone, 9pm

" I should get going, I don't want to over stay my welcome," she added getting up from the bed while I grabbed the remote switching off the tv.

"I wish you could stay the night," I said giving her a sad look and she matched it saying,

"Me too. Sadly I didn't tell my parents but I will definitely spend the night next time.

"I hope it will be soon," I said leading her down the stairs and the moment I opened the front door,

"Where the f**k is my mate?" I heard Phoebe growl behind me followed by feeling her cold hands around my neck.

"Phoebe let go of her right now!" the Luna said and soon her hands where off me.

"What did I do?" I asked, coughing out loudly while Angela patted my back, asking if I was okay.

"Benson is missing and it's all because of you!"

"Benson is missing? Since when?" I asked looking at her.

The last time I saw him was when I told him off after he asked me to be his lover. Did he run off because of what I said to him?

"Yes and it's all because of you so tell me where the f**k you've take my mate you evil and cursed witch!" she was about to jump me but mom and Amanda held her back

"Um angel I think I will get going, it's pretty late," Angela said behind me, " I don't want to -- you know, meddle in this,"

She lightly hugged me and quickly walked out of the front door without even looking back.

" Angel, if you know where Benson is then kindly tell us," my mom said. It was the first time that she was actually talking to me since I was born and even though she was just asking something that wasn't related to me, I somehow felt happy that she at least acknowledged my presence.

"I don't know, I've been with angel the whole day," I responded.

" So you are saying you haven't spoken to him today?" Phoebe asked, " And don't you dare lie because I was told you were with him before lunch just a few minutes before he disappeared!"

" Yes but that doesn't mean that ---"

"I told you Halloween was cursed," Amanda cut me off, "Benson would still be alive if you told him to stay away from her!"

Hearing this, Phoebe cried even harder sitting down on the marble floor while mom held on to her trying to calm her down.

"What's going on?" we all looked at the front door and Benson was standing there looking like a mess, with his brow hair sticking out all over the place and his clothes wrinkled. He looked like he just escaped out of a lions mouth.

"Benson! You are alive!" Phoebe quickly got up pushing mom off and in mere seconds, she was in Benson's arms tightly holding on to him.

"I was so worried I thought something happened to you. Where did you go and why didn't you text me so you know how worried I was?" she ranted between sobs, hitting on his chest while he softly apologised and promise to text her next time.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to me or even bothering to apologize after accusing me of killing him, I walks back up the stairs straight to my room getting ready for bed.

I got into bed and picked up my phone only to find two text messages, one from Benson and one from Angela

Angela: I had so much fun tonight, you are the most amazing person to hung out with and I hope we can do this soon, the text said with two heart emojis and one kiss emoji at the end.

I smiled texting back,

I also had a great time and see you tomorrow at school

Afterwards I opened Benson's text.

Benson: Hey sorry for what I said. I hope you can forgive me.

I was about to reply but thought against it. I can't entertain a man who is mated to my sister. I instead placed my phone on the table then got into bed but as soon as I did, my phone rung

I checked the called id and it was Claudio

"Don't pick up," Lyca said in my head,

"Why not I asked"

"Because he will just apologise for what happened with Ashley like he always does then lie about how he's inlove with you. It's high time you stopped entertaining him and showed him that you deserve to be loved correctly and if he doesn't want to do that then he can reject us for all care.

"Reject? You want him to reject us?" I asked not willing to believe that she was willing to go through the pain of rejection...

"It won't hurt much, I was talking to the goddess and she told me something about you and the reason why you look like this,"

" And what is that?" I asked my interest picked.

" You know Goddess ereni eremia, the God of peace and calmness?"

" Yes I learnt about her at school but what does she have to do with me?" I asked her, not sure why she was bringing a goddess into the equation

"Because you are her descendant, the long lost and awaited descendant,""
