Mia's POV
Mia's POV
I ran.
I just ran.
I didn't know where to go.
But I just kept on running.
Sometime later I found myself amidst woods. I shifted into my wolf and ran faster. Lacy was howling as she ran. After sometime we just laid back in a clearing. Lacy whined. She is clearly hurt. So am I. I dreamt about my mate. I dreamt about it to be Jaxon. Fortunately he is my mate. Or is it unfortunately?
Though he's beside me, it feels far. It feels like we don't belong to each other. It feels so terrible to know that he doesn't even want to have a pup with me. Thinking all these Lacy howled again. But this time it was a sad howl. I just cried silently not wanting to push Lacy into it.
I shifted back and headed home. Right now, all I want is a hot shower and some ice cream.
I stood under the shower for an hour. You might have guessed it. Yes, I cried in shower too. But that's ok as long as Ma doesn't see me cry. I quickly got dressed in my PJs and made my way towards the fridge. I took a tub of mint chocolate chip ice cream and went back to my room.
I didn't know when, but soon, I drifted off to sleep. Maybe crying makes you feel sleepy. But I cannot help since the hurt is too much.
"Mia!" I heard Ma yell from downstairs.
"Yes, ma!" I yelled back in my sleepy voice trying my best not to let it sound snappy.
"Downstairs. Now!" She yelled. I could already sense anger in her voice. She was never angry with me. But why now?
I quickly rushed downstairs to see a fuming man and Jaxon. Wait.. Jaxon?? What is he doing here?
I just froze there wide eyed. Why the hell is he at my home? That too when ma is here! Being Alpha gives him these balls? Oh No! What do I do now? Run to him and kiss him? Or punch him? What happens if I run away.? Wait .. screaming burglar sounds good.
All my thoughts flew out of the window when Ma started speaking.
"How the hell didn't you tell me that you are mated to our Alpha?" Ma screams.
"And you didn't bother to tell your mother?" She said, But this time it was more like a whisper. I felt her sadness through it.
"I'm sorry Ma" I said, trying my best not to cry. Why am I such a cry baby?
"I'm sorry Alpha, you can take my child with you. I'm sorry if she behaves wrong. Trust me, she'll learn from her mistakes. Treat her well Alpha." Ma said while bowing to Jaxon.
Then everything fell into place. I should be leaving with Jaxon today. I didn't even remember that. He came to take me with him. I am left with no choice but to leave. I have to survive now, and the mate bond is the only thing that can help me with it.
I sighed before turning around. I went to my room, packed my bags real quick and changed my dress. I pulled my hair into a messy bun. I held my bags and opened the door. I looked at my room once again.
I have been here ever since I was born. All the cries because of Dylan, All the night outs with Ashley, The lazy days, Dancing around aimlessly, every memory came flooded. I couldn't help but let tears fall again. It was at that moment that I felt arms around me pulling me into a chest. Weirdly enough, it gave me comfort. I just let myself cry in those arms.
Sometime later I looked up and saw that Jaxon was holding me. Since he's my mate it was comforting.
"I felt that you were sad," he whispered looking at me.
"Thanks" I muttered, pulling away. I just don't want him near me. He doesn't want me , so I shouldn't act like a desperate woman who wants him. I have my own self respect though.
We walked downstairs quietly and saw ma smiling.
"Thanks Alpha. I saw what you did earlier. I know that you'll look after her. I couldn't ask more now, Alpha. Thank you" Ma bowed with eyes welling with tears.
She then looked at me and hugged.
"Be good, My Child.Like you always are. Ma loves you"
I nodded my head and walked outside. Jaxon opened the car door and closed when I sat in. He quickly jogged towards the other side and seated himself in the driver's seat. We made our way towards the pack house.
The house where the Alpha and Beta's families live.
He quickly got out and I was expecting him to open my door again but he went into the house without looking back. I sighed and got out. I took my bags and made my way into the pack house. There was no one in the living room.
Thank you for the Grand Welcome (if you notice the dripping sarcasm) .
I was about to walk upstairs when a scream stopped me on my track.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I heard a familiar voice. I couldn't help but smile. I turned around.
"Nick!" I squealed and ran to him. I wasted no time jumping into his arms. I hugged him real tight this time.
"I missed you" I mumbled into his neck.
"I missed you more dumbo," he said, making me laugh at the nickname he gave me.
Nick is Jaxon's brother. Just a year younger. But we're more like best friends. He left for training at the Lunar Shadow pack. And I didn't know he came back.
"When did you come?" I asked him to pull away from his arms and stand on the floor.
"Just today. I was about to come to you. But why are you here? And with bags?" He asked me with his eyebrow raised.
"She's my mate," said Jaxon who was standing on the steps glaring at Nick.
"Oh brother!" Nick said pulling me towards his side and then pushing me behind him so that he is in front of me now. In a protective stance actually.
"Go to Veronica then. You have no f*****g right to stay with her" Nick growled.
Oh no! Oh no!! This is my first day here and I don’t want to be a part of any drama. That too between the Alpha brothers. Oh My Moon Goddess., Show some mercy on me!
