AUDREY'S POV
"I need you to calm down Audrey!" Leila pleads as i pace the room in anger and bitter resentment.
"Calm down?! he turned me without even telling me what I'm getting into and in the most horrible and frightening situation ever and the asshole didn't even have the balls to check how I was doing and he chooses the moment I was vulnerable to act hero and you expect me not to get mad!" I am literally yelling at this point. The door swings open and it was Clary.
"Mom needs you downstairs Leila, I'll handle this."She shot me a sad look before she leaving.
The room was quiet as I felt the edge of the bed sink down and my back is facing her.
"I have no right to tell you not to be mad at Lucian. You deserve every right to be angry for what he did to you. You deserved to know what you were getting into he is getting punished for that. I just wanna tell you how sorry I am for what happened to you. It was not your fault to be forced into an agreement as a small child and becoming a wolf overnight. It's scary but I just want you to know that you are not alone in this. We are here with you every step of the way until you find a ray of light in this dark tunnel you are in." I didn't know when a tear rolled down my cheek and I quickly wipe it off. She pats my shoulder.
"By the way, the news of what happened had spread to the pack and it is bad. I suggest you stay home at all times and control the wolf in you. This is not a good time to go out of control."
"What's with the instructions?" I turn to face her for the first time.
"The pack members take the issue of ' turning ' very serious and most victims are not welcome here. It's even worse because it's the alpha that committed the crime. So we need to figure out a way for you to be safe...for the time being."
The door closes quietly and I let the tears out.
*_*_*_*_*
I lay down on my bed reading one of Danielle Steel's novel. Goodness! I love her books!. She always has me hooked with the way she writes and her plots.
Today marks 187th day of my stay in this pack and a lot has happened. To be honest, I have completely given up on going back home or should I say I'm holding on to the tiny string of hope remaining.
This place is called the Duxgule park and it is found between the mortal realm and the beyond. It looks alot like the human world because it mirrors it. All mystical creature are found in this space...Guess I'm listening in my history class.
I'm still trying to love and embrace this place at my own pace because its people have finally welcomed me to their midst. They heard the other side of the story and forgave their alpha and also increased their love for him to the fact that they sent gifts for the emotional stress it caused him and I couldn't help but laugh when Leila told me. These people are weird. They don't know he is an heartless douchebag who abandoned me right after he turned me and I will never forget that fact.
I have also not seen the 'said' alpha after that night. Seems like he loves playing knight in shining armor whenever his damsel is in distress and I can't help but despise him everyday for the pain he caused me and the trauma I had after the whole turning shit.
Surprisingly too, I have not wolfed out since that night which is kind of strange but a part of me hopes it remains the same. I have also been forbade from leaving this place until I'm emotionally and physically stable to go back and mix with humans and I honestly can't wait for that day, running away is useless so I have no choice but to be patient and receive all trainings I am signed for.
I often wonder how mum is, where does she think I am? and my friends... We have a lot of smoothie date to catch up on. I frickin miss them that it hurts.
Sometimes I'm the only one who lives in this super big palace while the family members go about their businesses in the human realm. I'm stuck here but they come back to visit once in a while.
To be honest, this place is depressing and killing my mental health. Don't get me wrong! it's a beautiful and mesmerizing place with wonderful people but it always looks like these people are underpopulated.
It is always so awfully quiet for a pack this developed as claimed and Leila tells me to wait for a festival or occasion to come up and I'll see Duxgule in its true light and beauty.
A gentle knock interrupted my thoughts and I mumbled a ' come in.'
It was Maid Agnes Blurblery. The maid that has been assigned to my needs ever since my stay here. Her black hair was pulled in a tight bun and her uniform was neat and ironed. She is probably in her early forties and still looks agile and youthful. She was there for me when I was turned and was not in my right state of mind and came in just in time when I was about to commit suicide. She reminds me of mom alot with her warm smiles and advices.
"Master Lee is here." she says from the entrance and I roll to my side.
"I'll be there in 5." she nods and closes the door behind her.
I'm forced to take various classes to increase my knowledge of the new world I am in and how to cope with the challenges and difficulties that come with it and one of them is Marital arts.
I changed into a comfortable outfit and pulled my hair in a ponytail. I took a last look in the mirror before heading out.
*_*_*_*_*_
"Your balance Gabby! Your balance!!" Master Lee yelled as I threw my opponent down for the fifth time and pointed my sword at her and I was panting and sweating profusely.
"Go for a 5 minute break and meet me back here!" His voice was laced with annoyance and frustration.
"You've improved Aud!" Gabby says as I pulled her up.
"Well, I have a lot of free time on my hands." A small smile tug my lips.
I was about to grab my bottle to take a gulp of water when I heard his cold voice...
"No break!" I stopped in my tracks and I fought the urge to look at him.
"Lee, is this what I have been paying you to teach. Have you lost your touch?"He continues.
I could swear that this is the first time I have heard Master Lee stutter. Gabby and I shared a surprised look.
"I-I am just teaching the basics Alpha!"
He laughed.
"Basics! I see." I could hear his voice drawing closer."I need to test that."
I had to look at him. Is this guy a psycho! I have been practicing for over 2 hours now under the scorching sun and he wants to test 'me'. Everyone knows he was talking about me and I gave a light chuckle... This guy is a certified asshole.
He looked straight at me and what he said next shocked me to the core.
"Yes, I know I'm an asshole because you will need to say that to me right in front of everyone." I quickly hid my shocked expression and I stared at him straight in the eye. He didn't waver and his glare was strong and piercing.
A crowd was already forming and looks and glares are thrown my way. The murmurs and whispers is also getting loud.
"Silence!" His voice thundered which caused a shiver to run down my spine.
Everywhere becomes dead silent that one could hear a pin drop. The attention is on the both of us.
"Come on! call me an asshole. Just any word you can think of because you are going to hate me more for what I'm going to do next."
He stood tall and confident with Advisor Warg standing by his side. The air around him screamed power and authority.
I took a deep breath. I have always wanted to tell him this so why not now?!
"You know what, Fuck you Lucian!" I say loud enough for them to hear.
The crowd give a loud gasp and the whispers resumes. Only louder this time.
