Sarah. My heart raced as I unfolded the paper. More like I shut my eyes and tried to open them slowly instead. Not like whatever process I took would change what was in the paper, but I was so anxious. I just wished the young man had at least given me a clue of what the content was. I wondered how he located me easily, but being sent by an Alpha, I realized it wouldn't be hard finding me. In my pack, Bloodstone Pack, we had borders edged by securities and before any member from another pack enters, he or she must be queried thoroughly. If the young man told them that Alpha Jackson of Rivermoon sent him, then they must have made it easier for him to locate me. I was going to finally give a glance at the content of the letter when my door was pushed open. Immediately, I let the piece of paper I had on my hand fall to the floor and looked to see who had just entered. It was a normal thing for many to barge into my room like that. “Williams?” I let out gradually. I wondered what he was doing in my room. We rarely met here when I was dating him but in school. Besides, most of the privileged wolves lived in the school dormitory and went home occasionally, only a few omegas like me can't afford to live in the school because of our need for errands. “Did you think throwing yourself at Jackson would make any difference? He would just use you the way I used you, Sarah.” He was gazing at me spitefully, saying those hurtful words. “Jackson is even worse than I am. Are you doing this to hurt Maya? Stay in your lane, Sarah, she did nothing to you. I heard the rumours also, stop spreading them.” Only I know how badly my heart was shattering. I could feel my feet soften, my bones light. I went numb. I tried to say a word but it wasn't forthcoming. “Wi—lliams.” I finally said unhurriedly. He hasn't spoken to me all these while after what happened, only for this to be our first conversation. However, he didn't say any more words to me and left the room. I can't process which hurts more, the insults and harsh words he said to me, or the fact that he protected Maya. That I should stay in my lane? She did nothing to me? Seriously? After I met with Jackson was the day I told myself that nothing about Williams would hurt me again. I used my hand to wipe away the tear in my eye. I wondered if he left the school hostel just to come tell me this. While my hands were still on my cheeks, I found myself blushing and my mood lightened a bit. Thinking of Jackson makes me happy, but also, I don't know what he thinks of me. That drew my attention back to the letter on the floor. But just at that moment, some bodyguards knocked on my door. They didn't need to say anything to me, it was time for me to run some chores and also help out in the kitchen. I picked up the paper anyway and tucked it underneath my school bag. I did whatever I did quickly because I could not wait to see the content of that letter. Because of the hurry and distraction going on in my head, I mistakenly broke a glass. Thank goodness I looked around and no one was there, so it was easy to dispose of it. It was 10 pm when I was finally free. I walked tiredly towards my room. I was so sure that if I didn't need to see the content of that letter so badly, I might have just slept in the kitchen. Collapsing to the floor, I reached for my school bag and dragged out the paper I hid there. “Meet me up tonight at the bar, 10 pm.” My eyes enlarged as I read the content of the letter. Why did he have to write this to me? Why didn't the guards who brought it just tell me? Why didn't he send me a text message also? Just then, I realized that he didn't have my number and we barely knew each other. I wondered if he even knew my name. Arriving a few minutes past ten wouldn't be so bad. I know I shouldn't keep an Alpha waiting but it wasn't my fault as I had just read its content now. The strength that I thought I never had suddenly appeared from nowhere. I could have sworn that I was going to pass out a few minutes ago, but now I am so energetic. I wouldn't pretend like I didn't know why anyway. A lot of emotions are going through my mind. The bar had become our signature place of meeting. To be faster, I was going to shift to my wolf form. I could feel Claire giggling and all happy. “I told you he likes us,” Claire told me, but I was still not convinced. “Don't be so sure.” I wasn't going to put myself under some high expectations and get disappointed. So I should assume nothing. I had the paper in my hand and as I stepped out of my room and shut the door, the bodyguards seized me and began dragging me. “Let go of me. What have I done this time?” I asked. This seldom happened unless I committed a crime and the Alpha gave an order. “The Alpha told us to bring you.” one of the guards replied while they pulled me harshly and I wondered what I did this time. I can only wish whatever the case was could wait. I have a date. My mate must be waiting for me. This could be the only time I have to prove myself to him. I like him, and I think he does too, even if he doesn't, I know he doesn't hate me and he cares about me. When the guards saw me tearing up, they believed I had known my offence. If only they knew it was something else making me cry. “Sarah, you weakling! How many of my properties would you destroy before you die?” Alpha Dave wailed at me like he was going to punch me. His Luna, Linda, also gave me a death stare. I was honestly confused. I didn't know my offence. Not until I looked at the ground to see the pieces of glass I broke earlier. Someone saw me! I thought no one did. “I’m sorry, it was a mistake,” I said, bowing my head to show respect and remorse. “You always make mistakes, Sarah. Everything about you is a mistake. Your existence and even your family, all are mistakes.” I nodded. He needs to be fast. All that was in my mind was if I would be able to meet up with Jackson. I need to be there as soon as possible. “And why are you dressed like you are going somewhere?” Luna asked. Even if I said nothing, my reaction did otherwise. She walked closer to me and slipped the piece of paper from my hand. “Who wrote you this?” She queried me, handing over the letter to her mate, our Alpha. I knew I was doomed and meeting with Jackson would no longer be possible. “Answer me.” her high soprano voice sounded again. “Alpha Jackson,” I muttered slowly.
