Lillian’s POV:
I laid on the comfortable white sheets watching my master get ready for school. He walks towards his cabinet, pulling out a white shirt. Releasing a loud yawn, he stretched his aching body and scratched his butt. I continue watching him, ruffling his messy dark hair as his brown eyes shimmer in the sunlight. After staring at himself in the mirror for a good ten minutes, he nodded his head in approval of his grimy looks.
I let out a low meow to catch his attention. His lips tilted upward, and he walked over, taking a seat beside me. I jumped onto his lap and snuggled into his as he scratched my ears.
After a few minutes of blissful silence, he held me up. “It’s so weird how you never got any bigger,” he mumbled as he scanned my tiny body.
I release another small meow, and his smile resurfaces.
He kissed my nose, “But it’s okay. I like it.”
I licked his face in an attempt to show my love for him. A low chuckle escaped his throat, and he placed me down on the carpet. He stood up and finished getting ready for school. Grabbing his backpack, he picks me up and walks down the stairs.
Since I never grew, it was hard for me to walk down the stairs. I attempted once and slipped, hitting my head on cold tiles as well as spraining my paw. I remember how angry my master looked when he yelled at Tyler for not watching me properly. After master finished screaming at Tyler, he started yelling at me. I’m a cat, but he always talks to me as if I’m a person, weird.
Ever since then, master would always pick me up and carry me down before leaving. When we reached the kitchen, he placed me down. I sat down and started licking my paw as my eyes scanned the room. I can see several others walking around, eating food.
Master and I live in a place called Pack House. At first, no one likes me because I am a cat, and they are wolves, which are like dogs. I remember when they lecture me about how they aren’t dogs because they are wolves.
I didn’t care.
Over time, they stop looking at me with disgust. Now everyone is very friendly. In the past, they would feed me, people food when master wasn’t looking. But, we got caught when I ended up in the hospital with food poison. Apparently, I can’t eat chocolate.
But it tasted very yummy.
I remember when everyone stood in line, and master screamed at them to stop feeding me stuff without his approval. Some of them broke down and cried in front of him, but he continued yelling. It was not fun to watch, especially since master started lecturing me after.
I wanted to tell him: “Master, I’m a cat.”
But I can’t.
I can smell the breakfast an omega was making and curled around her legs. When she looked down, I gave her my best kitten eyes, begging for food. I can see her eyes looking towards master. Master walked towards me and patted my head before pulling out some milk. He pours it into my bowl, which has my name, Lulu, and gives me some chicken on a side plate. I licked it clean. He knows I like it way more than cat food, bleck!
I heard a yawn and knew precisely who did it. “Sup Tyler,” master said.
I paced towards master and nudged his knee lightly. He smiled at me and lifted me onto his lap.
“Hey, Nick,” Tyler said, taking a seat next to master. Tyler looked at me and scratched my head. “Still a cat person I see,” he said. When Tyler scratches my head, it doesn’t feel as good as when master does it, but it still felt good.
I let out a small meow of satisfaction. Master slapped his hand off of me. “Don’t touch my kitty,” he said in a harsh voice. Master never likes it when someone else other than him touches me.
Tyler rubbed his hand, "Geez, man. This is why you never found your mate even though you’re eighteen already. She doesn’t want to be found. You would probably choose your cat over her,” he said, taking a bite of his eggs.
I wonder if he would share his egg.
Master gave him a low growl. When master turned seventeen, he was supposed to find this person called mate. I’m not entirely sure why, but I was upset when I found out he doesn’t belong to me.
During his seventeenth birthday, he came back eyes glued to the floor. His eyes brightened when he saw me lying in the front of his door, waiting for him. He would scoop me up and kiss me on the nose. “I don’t need a mate. I have you, my little kitty,” he said in a soft voice and cradled me in his arms.
Tyler always says it was weird that he loves me more than females. I always come first. But, I know I can’t give him what they can offer him.
I remember the first time he lay me outside of our bedroom. He would hold some random female hand and went inside.
***
I heard some strange noise and heavy breathing. I laid there the whole night and cried.
He didn't open the door.
The next morning, she left and kissed master on the cheek. “We should do this again, Alpha Nickolas.”
She looked down and pat my head.
Master stood there and ran his hands through his messy hair. There were red marks all over him, and I didn’t like it.
Finally, he looks at me and gave me his usual smile. He went on his knees to pick me up, but I scratched and hissed at him when I smelt another female scent. He tried to hold me, but I refused. I didn’t want to be held by him. I didn’t want to go into a room filled with another female scent.
I ran away for the first time.
I curled myself under a tree and listen to the birds chirps. After a while, my eyes opened when I heard master calls.
“Lulu! Lulu! Please, come out! I am so sorry! I’ll never put you outside the room at night again! Please come back!” I heard his desperate pleas.
I laid there, debating whether or not I should answer his calls. After a few moments, I finally looked at master. I can see him continuously running his hands through his messy hair and tired face. There was dirt all over him, tears forming in his eyes, and his clothes were wrinkly.
Tyler came up next to him, “Everyone is looking for Lillian right now, but we can’t seem to find her. I think she go-”
Master grabbed Tyler’s neck and pinned him against a tree. “Don’t you f*****g say it. She isn’t gone. Tell everyone to keep searching. I don’t f*****g care if I have to flip this whole damn forest upside down. Find her! Call every Alpha, and request access to their territory,” he growled. “And we will enter with or without approval.”
Tyler held onto master’s wrist and nodded quickly as he attempted to breathe.
Meow.
Immediately, master released Tyler and ran towards me. He went down on both knees and picked me up, putting me near his chest. I can hear his heartbeat racing as if it will jump out any second.
“I’m so sorry, Lulu. I won’t let you sleep in the hallway again. Please, don’t run away from me.”
***
After that, he never brought another girl into his room. Sometimes, I would faintly smell another feminine scent on him even if he did shower. With time, I realize what master is doing with those females. I didn’t run away because he needs it. That’s something I can never give him.
After all, I am just a cat.
Meow.
I wanted to catch master’s attention, nudging him to rub my back. He smiled at me and did what I requested, “You’re excited about tomorrow, aren’t you? You’re finally turning ten.” He rubs his nose against mine, and I licked his face.
I can hear Tyler releasing a gagging sound, “Oh god dude. Just marry your cat already.” He puts his plate away.
Boo.
How come everyone around here always finishes their meals.
Master rolls his eyes and places me down, “I’ll be back at six o’clock sharp okay Lulu?” He walked out of the brown door with the others.
I circled the carpet a few times before I laid by the entrance and waited for him.
Please, come back home soon, master.
