Beep…Beep…Beep
"Ohhh!" I groaned in pain. My head felt so heavy and I felt so much aching in my whole body as I was unable to lift even my finger.
As I slowly opened my eyes and met with white color surroundings, if these irritating beeping sounds did not present, I definitely thought I was in heaven. My throat felt so dry I needed water I moved my hand to grab a glass of water but it fell on the floor with a loud crashing sound and broke into pieces.
“Ohh, My Sweet Moon Goddess!!! Thank you so much that, You open your eyes,” My mom said while sniffling and sobbing.
Incidents of yesterday started playing in front of my eyes like a film. I remembered about Caleb and My Family.
“Mom, Where are the others?” She knows that I am referring to my family.
“Your father transferred his position to Steven. Luca and Mica were selected as Warriors yesterday as per tradition so they will be called by Alpha to assign them their duties. Don’t worry they will be here as soon as they become free,” Mom explained to me.
In usual circumstances, I will be jumping up and down by now because I know that Luca and Mica really want to join this warrior training camp and they were anxiously waiting for the result but unfortunately, It was announced yesterday as per tradition but I was not with them to share their happiness.
“Mom, please tell me, How Alpha Caleb is?” I asked in a weak voice.
Mom looked at me like I went crazy. “He rejects you, yet you still cared for him?" Mom asked me in a disappointed tone.
"Mom! It's not like that. I just asked because we both lost our mates yesterday and I know his condition will also be similar to mine,' I said but felt a tug in my heart because I don’t want to believe that he rejects me so easily. After all, Everybody knows that he loves me as well.
"Wake up Veronica, Wake up!!!" My mom said with a little louder and stern voice.
“Alpha Caleb not only rejected you but also chose and marked his mate yesterday and also claimed his position as Alpha of the White Moon Pack and celebrated his crowning ceremony wholeheartedly," She said and I felt like my blood froze in my veins.
“What??? H...How? I mean with whom???" I asked but my mind is unable to process all those words at that time.
How could such a thing be happening? I feel a ball of tears stuck in my throat. Those secret glances during lectures, Those surprise visits in the library and helping us in our assignments, for which Rory teased me at the cafeteria and after classes and calling me lucky in finding true love.
“I will meet him and ask him personally that Why he did all this to me? when in actuality he was involved with someone else. My eyes became watery.
“Don’t think too much, you need rest,” Mom said and I just nodded as I don’t want to say anything to mom to worry her more than she already is. She tucked me on the bed and dimmed the light before exiting my hospital room. My mind kept replaying all the previous incidents as to how it is possible that Caleb liked someone else? because he never paid attention to anyone else.
Then how can he make such a huge decision in the spur of the moment and choose his Luna out of the blue?
“Might be possible that Alpha pressured him to do such a thing and Caleb doesn’t want to do it at all,” I said to myself.
I have so many questions in my head that I thought it would explode if I kept thinking about all those events. After two days, the Doctor discharged me with so many instructions but My whole family didn’t show any ounce of difference as I am a wolfless person now and I am thankful for this to moon goddess. It seems they didn’t care at all about it because they accepted and loved me as I am.
Steven, Luca, and Mica remain worried for me and my health this whole time. Although, I compromised on my wolf-less situation but 'I will definitely need my answers from Caleb' I reminded again to myself. In all that time of being hospitalized, neither Rory paid me a single visit nor did I ask my family about her as I don’t want to worry them more.
