Mom’s clearly upset. Her eyes are lankenesl with anger, I can see it s clearly. Behind her, Dad reps out, furrowed brows, similar tagy in his eyes too,
They say nothing for the moment. They look at me as I look down in guilt.
“Mo”
She holds a finger up, cuning me off. “Don’t explain. Just get to your bed. She doesn’t say it loud or shout, but her words are firm and strict enough. She’s beyond furious.
Before I even take a step forward, my Dad comes right up to me and stares at me with disgust and shame. “Where were you?” He asks, his voice low and stem.
“I got caught up in something, that’s all” I look up at him, pleadingly.
“You got caught up in something?” he raises a brow at me. “There’s no need for such idiotic excuses. And there’s no need for you to stay out any longer than you’re staying. There are plenty of other wolves who would take the opportunity of killing a runt upon themselves. They’ll tear you apart without hesitation. And while that would be a blessing for your weak, pathetic state. I would not be able to bear such shame of having a runt that my alpha spared killed by someone else, when I couldn’t do it
1 blink a few times, swallowing the hurt and humiliation crawling up my throat.
This is the first time he has spoken to me in a while. His words come out cold, his gaze is even colder. He hates me. I always knew that, but having it said so clearly, right in my face, it just makes me want to disappear.
Tm sorry.”
He doesn’t care for my apology. He turns his back to me and goes back into his room without another word.
“I told you not to come so late!” Mom grabs my arm and snaps at me. “You know how your father gets, right? What is wrong with you? You’re old enough to understand these things but you’re so damn stupid!”
“I–I am sorry, I lost track of time.” I turn away from her, ashamed, feeling as if she might lash out. I hate being looked at like this, like a complete failure.
“Lost track of time?” Mom cocks a brow. “Really, Rhea? Did you lose track of time! For six whole hours?”
I shrug a shoulder. “Sorry.” I say and try to pass her, but her hand comes out, grabbing my good arm again, yanking me to a stop and forces me to face her.
“There’s something that came for you today, during afternoon,” She keeps her gaze on me as she continues, “It’s on the table. Take me before your little brother rips it off.”
She disappears into her room after that. I glance around the living room and just above the table, I find something. At first, I’m a little confused and then I grab to see what it was exactly.
A envelope.
My brows furrow. There’s no name on it, nothing at all. The letter is still sealed while means Luke hasn’t opened it, neither anyone else

1st and into my room where I find a bit of lace. I leave the letter on the side and head straight to take a sower before anything else. My body is still aching and everything is just stiff and numb. And my mind the gears are
thousand miles per minute.
I side out of the sweat pants and t–shirt and slip inside the hot water. It burns the skin initially but I quickly adjust to the water temperature. Then it’s relaxing.
One finish. I change into something a bit more comfortable and sit on the bed with the envelope in my hand and just
- it. It has my full attention and no one can ever imagine how much curiosity has possessed me at this moment.
I want to see its insides
Iepen it as carefully and take out the letter inside it
The paper has a distinct stamp in the back and I recognize it instantly.
It’s from Aron
My lips part and I pause myself, wondering if I even want to read what’s inside this letter or should I throw it off the window and try to forget whatever is inside.
My wolf claws and stirs inside. Yes, she wants to know, I 100 want to know.
I rejected him and here’s he’s reached me through letters, to let me know something.
Should I be concerned?
Well, the question is should I open it or not!
I never wanted him to pursue me after my rejection but clearly he’s done otherwise.
I grip onto the edge of the paper a little more tightly until my hands are shaking. And then, I can no longer deny my curiosity and unfold it
Some time has passed by and I hope you’re doing better than before. I wrote this to confirm what’s already happening. Your response, or rather your lack of a response is clear as it could be. But I will not accept it. My pursuits won’t stop until the day that you are mine. I do not care of your status, your reputation or who you are as a wolf. When time comes, I will claim you, whether by force or not–that is entirely up to you. I don’t mind giving you some time but know my limits too and be
mindful of them.
I will be waiting for your response.
Aron
1 fold the letter and shove it in the far depths of my drawer, away from where no one can see it. And when I’m sure it’s out of sight, I sit against my headboard.
I thought it would be over once he was gone. I should have known. Now, that’s exactly what has happened and my mind is rushing with what ifs.
What if he comes back for me
What if he drags me to his place?
And worse yet–what if he takes me as his mate against my will?
I was wrong. He won’t stop

My rejection dicht affect him one bit. Instead, he wrote back to me in such manner, that he’s the only one here to dominate everything around me, including my life, it seems
A sick sense of panic swirls in the pit of my got
Now that my fear of him forcing me into something is much more realistic, I can’t sleep the entire night. I fie there in bed. Trying desperately not to think about anything. Frar, anguish, hopelessness, all of it threatens to creep into my heart, whispering terrible truths into my ear, urging me to cry and release the pressure and panic..
I can’t even contemplate. I try anal fall asleep, try and turn in all sorts of position, only to roll on my side and shut my eyes. I feel sick, the edges of panic fraying and giving way to despair.
There’s no relief from the tears within or the darkness. All of it blends together into some ugly mix that is consuming and consuming, eating me up whole, not caring at all. I squeeze my eyes tight, trying to calm myself.
I have to find the solution, or else there’s no going away from this fear.

But what if Aron decides to force himself on me, or does something so drastic that leaves no choice, except to take his decision as if it were my own?
He has ripped away the last of my free–will by sending this message in me.
