China’s P.O.V
How could they keep this from me? How could he do this? Was I not enough? I thought he loved me.
I’ve been pacing the floor of the cabin for three hours now. Waiting to get my hands on this brother and friend of mine. I know that it is not their fault that my mated rejected me. I know that. Yet they should have said something to me. They could have given me some type of heads up so that I would have been able to prepare myself.
‘Pearl?' No answer. ‘So, you’re avoiding me too now Pearl?’
She’s been quiet since we left. I don’t know if she is angry with me or if she resents me. How could she not? I am the reason that our mate rejected us. I know I could have done something to make him more interested in me. Maybe I wasn’t pretty enough, or I didn’t have the body of a model. Maybe he was bored during s*x.
“Ugghh!” I screech in frustration. “Where’s my phone. Music always relaxes me. Ah, ha found it.”
Yeah, I know you’re probably wondering why I have a phone and yet we are walking to a new pack land. Well, the cars all belong to the Alpha. So, when we left, we left with nothing but the clothes on our backs and personal items. Plus, there was no way we could fit 60 plus wolves into two cars.
“Oh, Melonie sing me a tune girl.” I blasted my favorite song and belted along with Ms. Fiona.
And I don’t want to be without you
Cause I can hardly breathe without you
This is what it feels to be the one
Who’s standing left behind
How did I become the wrong side of a love song?
Baby, I’m a mess
Out of every piece and part of me
You were always the best
“No Mel we were always the best.” I whimpered.
Raymond’s P.O.V
“Oh Goddess Ray, we are definitely dead. s**t, s**t, s**t, s**t. She’s going to kill us.” Adrian freaked
*SLAP*
“Get it together you p***y. Why are you freaking out man? It’s just a song!” I exclaimed trying to calm Adrian down.
“You don’t understand Ray.”
“I don’t understand what?”
“Dude listen.”
But instead, I was leaving you here alone
But I didn’t mean it
No, I didn’t mean it
Now I’m begging baby come home
And you got me saying Why,
Why you wanna make me cry
“Okay, I don’t understand. We are dead because she’s listening to her favorite song?” I looked at him questioningly. “That should be a good thing right”
“No!” he shook. “Do you remember when we saw the dresser on top of Donald's brand new SUV?”
“Yeah I remember, but I mean that SUV was hardly brand new. It looked beat the hell up. There were dents and scrapes everywhere on that car man.”
“Right! She did that. It was brand new when I came to get you to see it. And do you remember who was in that dresser when we got it off the car? Or who was locked in the trunk hogtied?”
“Yea the twins, Ashley and Alissa. They were half-naked and...” he looked at me wide-eyed and it clicked “ohhhh... s**t, s**t, s**t, f**k we are so dead.”
That day the twins as well as Donald went to the pack hospital. They spent a month in a coma. I never thought it had to do with China. She spent every day and night, after training in the hospital nursing Donald back to health. The twins never walked the same again after that and they never came back to the packhouse either. I always said I would commit that song to memory because of how it eerily played from the second-story window. But she wouldn’t do that to us, right? I mean we are her best friends, her family. We are safe. Right?
“Hey man where the hell are you going?” I turned to see Adrian running with his tail between his legs.
‘I would have told you to run but the song has changed and she will get you before me. Every wolf for themselves.’ he yelled through our link.
I turned back to the cabin to see a 5’9” chocolate queen with eyes of fire in the doorway. She plastered an innocent smile on her face.
“Oh baby Ray, I missed you!" she cooed and looked around. "Where did Adrian go?”
Oh crap, I am so dead!
