Urgh!!, I feel like s**t and I can guarantee you I look like it as well.
After Cole walked out of my room last night, I sat on the floor crying for god knows how long before getting up and laying down on my bed and crying some more.
I don't know exactly why I was crying, all I know is that I couldn't stop.
Was I crying because the moon goddess played an evil prank on me making my brother my mate?.
Was I crying because Cole was my mate?.
Or was I crying because he rejected me ruining my last chance at happiness?.
I didn't have any answers to my questions but it didn't matter, my heart is broken and my life is over, my last chance at happiness has been cruelly snatched away from me and now I'm doomed to spend the rest of my life in this godforsaken pack, serving the very people that I despise and most likely watching my mate live a happy life, getting married and having pups with his chosen mate.
I don't know why it hurts so much that Cole rejected me, I mean we're siblings for goddesses sake, it's wrong for us to be mates, just like it's against the law in the human world for siblings to have s*x and be in a relationship, it's against the law for us weres to commit incest as well, so why our beloved moon goddess would play a mean trick on me like this is beyond me.
"Lucky"
No answer.
"Lucky"
Still, no answer and this is what it's been like since last night, ever since Cole said those dreaded words that no werewolf wants to hear, Lucky has completely blocked me out and hasn't said a single word, actually, I tell a lie, she did speak to me once and that was just to tell me that Cole was having s*x with not one but two bitches.
You see what happened was, after I finally fell asleep, I was woken up by the most intense pain ever, if you're a girl imagine the pain you get from your period and if you're a guy imagine the pain from getting kicked in the balls except the pain is amplified by twenty, my whole body was in agony but more specifically my stomach and lower region, I was hot all over like I was being cooked from the inside out and I was sweating profusely, at first I thought I was going into heat because that's common after you've met your mate especially if your mate is an alpha but no, it turned out that Cole was having s*x and according to Lucky, the pain was amplified because he was having s*x with more than one girl.
I was heartbroken and hurt that Cole would do this to me and I had a feeling that he must know what type of pain he was causing me which Lucky confirmed to me that he did know and she even told me that she'd spoken to Coles wolf who repeatedly apologised to her and told her to tell me how sorry he was and that he didn't condone Cole or his actions.
Ever since then, Lucky has been silent but every now and then I can feel her pain and hear her whimpers.
"Hey Nat"
"Hey Em"
"Are you ok? you look like you've been put through the wringer"
That's putting it nicely.
"I'm fine Em, I just had a sleepless night, that's all"
"I'm not surprised, you're eighteen now, you can finally meet your mate, I bet you couldn't sleep because you were too excited"
"Yer, something like that"
I grab my things out of my locker and put them in my bag hoping that's the last she mentions of my mate but unfortunately, it's not.
"Urgh!!, don't look now but here comes alpha cockhead and his brainless bimbo"
I quickly glanced at Emily before looking to my left and seeing Cole and Aubrey all over each other.
Urgh!!, why didn't I listen to Emily?.
I look away when I heard Lucky whimper.
"Are you ok, Lucky?"
Once again she ignores me, poor thing.
"I feel sorry for whoever his mate is, I'd hate it if the moon goddess paired me up with a douchebag manwhore like him"
I chuckle and I swear I even heard Lucky chuckle slightly.
"Don't worry Em, the moon goddess has picked out a great guy for you"
"Do you think?"
She asked whilst looking at me hopefully.
"Of course, you're a beautiful sweet girl, you deserve only the best"
"I hope so"
"Look who it is babe, the runts of our pack"
Pfft, runts? she's calling us runts? the girl who is the daughter of a pack warrior is telling an alpha and betas daughters they're runts, what a joke.
"I know babe, how disgusting"
I didn't pay the morons any attention even though I could feel Coles eyes burning into me.
"I've got an idea baby, why don't we banish them from the pack when we become alpha and Luna?"
"That's a great idea, babe"
"What? you'd actually kick your own sister out because of this tramp"
"What did you f*****g call me, runt?"
"I called you a tramp, you know a floozie, a w***e, a tart, a hoochie, a hussy, a trollop or to put it in layman's terms for a brainless bimbo such as yourself, a slut"
What the f**k?.
Go Emily, I didn't know she had it in her to be so bold.
"Why you little?"
Aubrey was about to charge at Emily when I stood in front of her.
"Get the f**k out of my way, Natalia"
"Or what? what are you gonna do if I don't?"
I know exactly what she's gonna do because she does it every single f*****g time, she'll stomp her foot, throw a tantrum and then tell Cole to sort me out, even though she's the daughter of a warrior, Aubrey can't fight for s**t, she couldn't kick a rock without hurting herself, she's more of a slapper...in more ways than one.
STOMP!!.
"Urrrgh!!, baby, sort this b***h out"
"My pleasure"
Punch!!.
As expected, Cole beat the f*****g crap out of me and just like every other time he's beat me up, a crowd of students surrounded us cheering him on and filming us like they were at a f*****g WWE event.
"You're lucky you're my mate otherwise I'd f*****g kill you for insulting my girlfriend"
"I'm not your mate remember jackass, you rejected me or did you forget?"
"Pfft, forget? how could I forget one of the best moments of my entire life"
Ouch!!.
As much as I hate to admit it, that actually hurt.
"Apologise to Aubrey"
"I'd rather stick pins in my eyes"
KICK!!, KICK!!, KICK!!.
And there goes some of my ribs, f**k.
"Apologise to her now"
"If you make me apologise, Cole, I'll tell everyone I'm your mate"
He laughed evilly at me.
"Go ahead, no one will believe you"
"That's a risk I'm willing to take, I've got nothing to lose if nobody believes me Cole but you...you've got a lot to lose if they do believe me"
Cole looked at me with so much anger, his eyes were black and his pupils were red.
"f*****g b***h"
He shoved me on the floor and gave me one last kick before walking away laughing with Aubrey.
"Are you ok, Nat?"
"I'm fine...ouch, Jesus"
Emily helped me up but I could barely stand.
"Come on, let's get you to the infirmary"
After School....
"I can give you a lift if you want"
"No it's ok Em, I wanna walk"
"But you're injured, Nat"
"Nothing new there"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes now go, I'll see you later"
"Bye Nat"
"Bye Em"
After leaving Emily, I head towards the woods and walk home.
For the past few hours I've been trying to contact Lucky so she can heal me but she's still wallowing in self-pity, I don't blame her for being upset but come on, she's acting like a teenager who's had her heartbroken for the first time and the worst thing about it is, the guy she's crying over isn't f*****g worth it, his wolf maybe but Cole isn't worth the shite of my shoe.
As I walked through the woods, I listened to some music to take my mind off my s**t life.
'You promised the world and I fell for it, I put you first and you adored it, set fires to my forest and you let it burn, sang off key in my chorus 'cause it wasn't yours, I saw the signs and I ignored it, rose coloured glasses all distorted, set fire to my purpose and I let it burn, you got off on the hurtin' when it wasn't yours, yeah, we'd always go into it blindly, I needed to lose you to find me this dance, it was killing me softly, I needed to hate you to love me, yeah'.
"Oww...oh goddess"
I was almost home when I was hit with a nasty burning pain which was slowly spreading throughout my whole body and I know exactly what is causing it.
"Oh g..goddess not a..again"
I lean against a tree and take long deep breaths, the pain was excruciating and I felt like I was gonna pass out so I sat down leaning against the stump, I close my eyes and continue to take deep breaths.
"Mmm, oh yeah, just like that baby, yes"
What the....who the hell is that?.
I look around the forest but I don't see anyone or anything.
I'm probably just hearing things.
"Yes Cole....h..harder"
I freeze when I hear Coles name being moaned.
I stand up on my wobbly legs and look around the forest which is behind me and my heart breaks further when I see Cole and Aubrey having s*x against a tree.
Fucking asshole.
I hid myself back behind the tree I was standing by not wanting them to know that I'm here, there's a huge chance Cole already knows that I'm here because he'll be able to sense me and smell my scent.
"Oh yes, Aubrey, yes....goddess you're so perfect"
Urgh!!, I hate him....I hate him goddess, I hate him, I hate him.
I sat on the ground-hugging my knees to my chest and cried my eyes out as I listened to my ex-mate and my ex-best friend have s*x.
I don't know how long they were going at it for because I passed out not long afterwards, this is how bad the pain is when our mates mate with someone else, it causes us to pass out for hours sometimes days on end.
When I eventually woke up, I sat up and looked around feeling groggy and I was shocked when I saw that it was now dark outside, goddess, how long have I been out? I grab my phone from my jeans and check the time, 7:30 pm, s**t, everyone's gonna kick-off when I get back because I wasn't there to make dinner.
I stand up and stretch out my limbs before making my way back home, I wasn't looking forward to getting another beating but what can I do?.
I hesitantly walk through the back door expecting to be hit instantly either verbally or physically but instead, I was hit with the smell of citrus, what the hell?.
"There you are, where the hell have you been?"
A frantic Emily asked whilst embracing me in a bear hug.
"I went for a walk, why?"
"You've been gone for hours, Nat, I thought something bad had happened to you"
I smiled at her concern, at least someone was worried about me.
"I'm fine, Em, where is everyone?"
"Oh, they've all gone to their rooms"
"What about dinner?"
"I cooked, I thought you deserved a break on your birthday"
She's so sweet, what did I do to deserve a friend like her?.
"Thanks Em, you're a diamond, what would I do without you?"
"Oh you'd probably live a very boring and dull life"
We both chuckled.
Even though my life is about as miserable as it could get, it's not completely horrible and that's all thanks to Emily.
"How am I gonna repay you for all of the nice things you do for me, Em?"
"It's simple....you can pay me back on my birthday"
She chuckled and I smiled sadly.
This girl deserves a lot more for her birthday than having a day off from making dinner and doing chores, thankfully, her eighteenth birthday isn't for another couple of months so I've got plenty of time to find ways to spoil her.
"I'm gonna go up to my room, I'll see you in the morning, Em"
"Ok, goodnight birthday girl"
We both give each other a hug and I leave the kitchen heading up to my room, on my way, I bumped into my parents who scolded me for many things including not coming straight home from school, not doing any of my chores or preparing dinner and for disrespecting my future Luna in school, I should've known that b***h would once again play the victim when even the cockroaches in the dungeons know she's anything but.
My parents then dragged me to the torture room telling me that I needed to be punished for my attitude and actions, I don't wanna say what they did to me but let's just say it was a horrible way to end my eighteenth birthday and I must've passed out from the pain because I went from being tied up in the torture room to laying on the cold hard floor in my bedroom.
