Chapter 2
Emma’s POV
"So, where were you for 4 days." I questioned him as he drove away from the parking lot.
"I had some important work to do," he declared.
"Was it so important that you forgot me," I questioned. I tucked a piece of my hair behind my ears. I didn't cared why he left me, but he could at least call or reply to my messages. I was tensed about him.
"Emma, its not like that. I was just so busy, I am sorry." He apologized. I looked out of the car to see my step mothers luxurious home.
"Apology not accepted," I disagreed and stormed in the house. Busy, what made him so busy that he neglected me.
I looked at the house, it was quite big from the one me and my parents lived in. She sold that house and bought this one. She never let me touch anything in the house and if I did she would slap me.
Stepping in the house I bumped into someone. I looked up to see MOM, before I could apologize. Her hand flew and connected with my face. The sound of facial contact echoed through the room as I fell on the floor.
"Next time keep your dirty body off me," I gawked at her, I didn't do anything. I kept a hold of my tears, I did not wanted to cry in front of her. She grabbed a fist full of my hair making me to look at her.
"Aww, I am sorry." I groaned in pain as my scalp burned. She pulled it closer, and I let out a scream. The pain was excruciating as I tried to pull her hand of my hair, struggling with her was useless.
"Mom stop," David said.
"Why are you supporting this b***h," Mom exclaimed, as she threw me to the ground. A tear slipped as my head hit the marble floor beneath. David ran and pulled me up into a hug.
"Oh look, David I raised you much better." She mocked David.
"Would you hurt her if she was your daughter," David growled. Where did that came from? I thought. I gently rubbed my head hoping the pain would stop.
"I would never have a whorish daughter," she exclaimed. How am I whorish? I never saw any man in my life expect David.
"Mom, stop it." David jested as he pulled me to a couch.
"What are you going to do, huh protect her. David you are my son not her brother. I gave birth to you, I raised you and now you are taking her side. Don't you remember she killed her parents." She said to me. I cried, when she mentioned my parents. Its not my fault they left me.
"Mom, that's enough get out of my sight." David said.
"Huh, who are you talking to. This house is mine, you can't kick me out." She exclaimed, David stood up and walked towards mom.
"Exactly, this is your house and I can't kick you out. We both can leave and you can live here in you 'own' house," David provoked her.
"You won't," Mom said as she folded her hands together.
"Watch me," he whispered.
"Emma go pack your things and you don't need to take anything important, just take some clothes and some other things." He demanded, I stood up from the couch and walked towards my room. I pulled a suitcase out and shoved some clothes inside. I placed some important things and zipped up the bag. I looked back at the mirror.
I going to be free, Finally!
I walked down to see David on the couch and his mother standing next to him. They both snapped towards me when I walked down the stairs.
"David, you won't leave." She demanded.
"I told you I am leaving and you don't need to worry about me or her." He said as he walked outside.
"Bitçh," Mom said to me as she looked at me. I walked behind David with the suitcase.
"David, are we really going to leave." I said.
"Yes," he exclaimed as he shoved the bag in the car.
"But where will we go," I asked him as I pulled the seat belt down.
He signed and got in the drivers seat, he pulled away from the house.
"Pack house," he said, I choked on my saliva.
"What, like the pack house where bunch of wolves live." I said, I didn't wanted to die so soon. I haven't even seen anything in my life and I still had to experience love.
"Yes and don't worry they will be in their human form," he said.
"David, I really don't want to die and where did you get this idea from." I said, I could be ripped in minutes and especially when there mood swings which is quite common in werewolf's.
"Emma, I am telling you nothing will happen if you follow the rules and about the idea Alpha said to me since most of the teenagers and young adults live there." He said as he kept his eyes glued on the road. Rules? They have rules for living and here I was thinking I am finally free.
"David, I am so not going there. I could be ripped in minutes." I exclaimed, I looked back to see houses passing by. Why can't my life be normal?
"Nothing is going to happen I am there for you and no one will do anything." He said.
"David, you can't be there all the time, you have responsibilities." I said.
"I know emma but I don't need to be there with all the time, you will be safe. The Alpha said no one will do anything to you. Plus I won't be taking you back there after what I saw. Mom can continue with her life." He said as his jaw clenched. I knew he wasn't happy what mother did and I also knew he didn't wanted to leave her.
As for the Alpha I had never met but David said, he is cruel and a cold hearted person. He could kill anyone in seconds, I could die to. People who were supposed to obey his orders or he would kill them. According to David his pack was one of the strongest packs in the world.
"David, I am telling you its not a good idea," I said as I folded my arms. I laid back on the seat as he drove faster.
"I promise you nothing will happen, plus you can make some new friends." he said.
"Really, I am good with Trisha." I said, Trisha was the only friend I had in this entire world well after david though. We both became friends when I was 13 years old. Trisha was a out going girl, she loved to party, cheer leading, boyfriends and alcohol. As me on the other hand despised parties, I never had a boy friend blame that to my brother. I was shy and obedient, I did whatever anyone said. Whether it was good or bad.
"Emma," David snapped his fingers next to my eyes.
"Uh huh what?" I said.
"You spaced out for 5 minutes," he said.
"Oh,"
"Now listen to me clearly," he said.
"Yes," I replied.
"As you know Alpha Derik-"
"-So his name is Derik," I rolled his name of my tongue.
"Yes, but no one calls him that." He exclaimed.
"Why," I asked.
"Whoever called his name must be dead by now-" I gasped and he bought his hand to my mouth "-Let me finish," I nodded and he continued. "I told you that Alpha Derik is one the most cruelest and the strongest alpha alive. I would recommend you to stay as far as I can and never ever look in his eyes. Respect him and he won't do anything. They are some other rules like; going to school is compulsory-" I opened my mouth to say something but he cut me off.
"-You will be attending the same school don't worry, so where was I, yes everyone should be there at dinner its a must and if they are not there, they get to run 5 laps around the pack house. And you seriously don't want to know long is that." He said.
"Did you ever ran around the pack house," I asked him, how funny would he look if he ran around the pack house.
"Yes and my legs are still sore." I laughed, how large must be the pack house.
"Not funny," he snapped, okay maybe not.
"Other than that no one goes to his room or office without his permission. That's all for now." He said.
"Okay, so how much time will it take to reach there." I questioned.
"At least 3 hours," he said, Okay 3 hours what do I do?
I pulled out my phone from my jeans, switching it on I noticed couple notifications.
'Where the hell are you Emma, message me back ASAP' -Trisha
Instead of messaging, I dialed her number.
Ring
Rin-
"Where the hell were you for the past 4 days," she screamed, I gulped and slightly pulled the phone away from my ear. I looked at David who tried to control his laughter.
"I wa-s just bu-sy," I stuttered
"Wow, my besti doesn't accept my phone calls or reply to my messages for 5 days and now after 5 days she is like 'I am busy'." I gasped when I heard a glass dropping.
"Trisha, are you okay." I said.
"Yea, I am fine." She replied calmly.
"Okay, so when are you coming back." I asked her, she and her family were gone for a vacation to Maldives.
"To beat your ass, I am coming tomorrow." She said.
"Okay," I said awkwardly.
