I storm past both men and head to my room to grab my bags and come up short when I notice they're already gone. That eager to get rid of me huh? I can't help but think. It is then that I notice there are strange people in the house. Some are putting groceries away, there's a serious looking physician here that I'm guessing is for my mom, two towering men who look like bodyguards and then this Ty guy by my Dad. Looking at the two huge men I scoff. I guess they think I'm going to try and run away. If it wouldn't negatively affect my family then I would, but I refuse to jeopardize a better life for my family.
When I hear soft footsteps behind me I turn around and face my Dad and Ty. While Ty's face was friendly mine was anything but. Did he really think I would just welcome his presence while he was here to take me away from everyone I love? I give him a hard glare and say, "Well I guess we should be going since all of my belongings are already gone." With venom dripping from every word. My Dad flinches under the onslaught of my anger but Ty looking unbothered by my attitude and not taking it personally says, "As you wish Luna." With a dip of his head.
I turn around so fast I'm surprised I didn't get whiplash. "I'm not your fucking Luna. I don't know what that is and I don't want to know. My name is Rura." My Dad gasps loudly, having never seen me so angry before and I just stare at Ty as menacing as I can manage. An emotion I couldn't catch flashes across his eyes and after a little while Ty offers a small smile and dips his head again. "Alright Rura, I apologise if I've offended you."
I offer him nothing in return, instead I make my way to the door of the place that used to be my home. Without turning around I address my Dad. "I don't hate you. I know why you did it, I understand."
These two sentences are the only thing I can offer him right now. I understand but I do not forgive him. At least not right now. I'm much too bitter right now, but I don't want to regret my actions later if I didn't speak to my Dad before leaving and ended up never being able to speak to him again. Following Ty to the car I get in the front seat and as expected the two men from the living room follow, sliding into the back. "Is there anything you'd like to listen to on our way to the pack house Rura? It's a long drive." Ty asks me, remaining friendly. I stop looking out of the window of the car long enough to send him a glare before looking back out at my surroundings. The atmosphere is tense. Not just because of me, but because of the two extra men in the car. They don't speak either, I guess the only thing they'll contribute is muscle. Ty is the only one who seems genuinely happy.
"Well I guess not." He answers himself merrily.
The rest of the ride is silent except for the occasional words from Ty trying to start a conversation with me. I ignore all of his advances. I'm sure he knows that no one in this situation would be happy or friendly. But so far it seems that he doesn't care and is persistent in bothering me. Maybe I'll need a friend while I'm here, but I have no intentions on living with these people. 'Werewolves', I internally correct myself for the millionth time. I steadily think of them as any other average person and they are far from it.
'So are we', a voice says in my head. What the hell? Now I'm hearing things? When this voice spoke to me Ty looked over at me as well. If it weren't for the fact that the voice was female, I'd have thought he'd had something to do with the voice I'm hearing. However, that fact aside, the voice said 'So are we.' We? Last time I checked it was just ME. After I let my thoughts run wild for about an hour my eyes start to get heavy and as much as I try to stay awake and memorize what I've seen so far, I can't keep my eyes open. After one last blink my world goes dark as I fall into a deep sleep.
Hours later I'm jolted awake when I hear doors slamming shut. The two bodyguards exit the car without a word to me or Ty but stay close by, a predatory gleam in their eyes. Looking over to the drivers side of the vehicle I see Ty is still here, grinning at me. "Shall we Rura?"
Rolling my eyes at him and the bodyguards I open my door and head to the trunk to grab some of my belongings. I hear Ty telling me that someone else will grab them for me and that I 'Don't have to worry about a thing' but I ignore him. When he comes around to my side of the car to try and take the bags from me my lips curl back in a snarl. "I've got them myself." I say and watch as he puts his hands in the air with his brows raised and steps back to give me space.
Even with all the anger I feel right now, when I look at this mansion that I'm supposed to call home, tears prick my eyes. Reigning in my emotions as quickly as I can I square my shoulders and hold my head high. Whatever bastard thought it was okay to buy me won't see me crying or scared. I'm going to make his life hell and challenge him at every turn, even if it kills me.
