#Chapter6
I woke up with a pounding headache. I kept my eyes shut and groaned. I haven't lost control like that in 2 years. But my goddess, am I paying for it right now. If I lay here and pretend it didn't happen, I don't have to face the mess I have made.
A knock on the door interrupted my pretending. I groaned, pulling myself up then glanced around the room. Fuck my life, I've completely destroyed the room.
I slowly went down the stairs, careful not to make too much noise. My head can't handle the steps. I halted at the bottom of the stairs and sniffed the air. I caught the scent of my uncle, auntie, Lucas and some familiar scent. I recognised the scent, it's Lucas's mate. I met him vaguely when Lucas found him.
Well, let's get this over with.
I opened the kitchen door and stood awkwardly in the doorway. They all stared at me, probably trying to decipher what mood I was in. In the past when I have lost control, I never know what mood I'm going to be in when I have gained control back.
/"Hi/" I timidly greeted.
My auntie stood up and looked at Tristan. /" I know you said to give her space and not crowd her but I have missed her./" She ranted before coming towards me.
She stood in front of me and looked at me lovingly. /"You have grown into such a beautiful woman./" She cooed.
I giggled, /"I missed you too, Georgie./" I pulled her against me and wrapped my arms around her.
She sniffled and squeezed me. Tristan laughed, coming over to us. /"Let her breathe, Hun./" He chuckled. She moved away and smiled brightly at me.
/"How are you doing after yesterday?/" Tristan questioned. I awkwardly pulled at my jeans, I haven't been changed yet. I need a shower and some fresh clothes.
/"What's up?/" He asked, looking puzzled.
/"Um, I kinda destroyed the bedroom,/" I muttered, staring at the floor. Tristan and Georgie laughed, shaking their heads. /"Don't worry about it. We can fit it./" They assured.
They left the kitchen, leaving just me, Lucas and his mate, who I think is called Elijah. Lucas stayed sat at the table, glaring at the fruit bowl. I bit back a giggle and coughed. /"Hi, I don't know if you remember me but I'm Elijah./" He spoke as he stood up and came over to me.
I nodded my head, /"Yes, I remember you. Nice to see you again./" I smiled. He returned the gesture then glanced at Lucas. /"I'll leave you two alone./" He said shooting daggers at Lucas. I gave him an awkward smile, he touched my shoulder, giving me a small smile before leaving the room.
Well, this isn't awkward at all. I guess I'm going to have to make the first more. I slowly wandered over to Lucas. As I reached the table, he startled me by throwing his arms around my waist and pulling me into him. I immediately responded, crushing myself against him. I have missed him so much!
/"I'm so, so sorry!/" I sobbed. He stood up and brought me into his chest. /"No. I'm sorry./" He whispered.
I glanced up at him, /"I'm sorry I missed your wedding./" I remarked wistfully. He shook his head, /"I knew you wouldn't come. If I could have postponed, I would have./" He spoke softly.
/"I didn't see the message, Luc. If I had known, I would have been there./" I whispered. He pulled me against him and enveloped his arms around me, stroking my hair. /"Can you do me a favour?/" He asked.
/"Sure,/" I muttered.
/"Take your necklace off for a few minutes./" He answered.
I panicked and pulled away. /"Why?/" I asked worriedly.
/"Because my wolf can't sense yours and it's driving him mad. We're family, Amaris. He's just concerned./" He explained sadly.
I guess that makes sense. But I don't think I can... If I do and Rhydian is nearby, he'll sense me and that'll be it.
/"Where's Rhydian?/" I asked.
/"He's out on a hunt, why?/" He looked at me confused.
/"No reason,/" I dismissed him.
I took a shaky breath and slowly removed the necklace. I held the necklace tight in my hand and forced a smile. Lucas wrapped his arms around me and breathed heavily. /"Thank you./" He whispered and planted a gentle kiss on my forehead.
/"You can put it back on now./" He smiled. His eyes fogged over, he was getting a mindlink. I fastened my necklace and waited for Lucas to finish. /"Right, Alpha Rhydian needs me so I'll catch up with you soon, ok?/" He smiled.
/"I need to know who this Alpha Rhydian is./" I deadpanned, glaring at him.
He rolled his eyes and nodded. /"Meet us in the packhouse in an hour and we will tell you everything./" He sighed.
I nodded and hugged him again. /"I hope you forgive me for leaving,/" I whispered. He gave me a quick hug, /"If you forgive me for acting like a spoilt pup./" He chuckled.
/"Deal,/" I smirked. He went towards the door and turned his head to me, /"I am soo glad you're back./" He gushed. I nodded and gave him a small smile, /"Me too,/" I whispered, /"I just wish I come back earlier./"
/"He loved you, Amaris. Just remember that./" He announced then left the room. I took a deep breath and leaned against the kitchen counter.
I sighed exhaustdly and hung my head back. This hour is going to drag, I need answers. I huffed and headed to the bedroom.
I opened the door and stepped inside. I took one look at the room and walked out. Nope, I'm not dealing with that now. I groaned and went in search for the bathroom. I opened the first door to my right and peeked in, another bedroom. I went along the corridor and opened the door at the end.
This should be a bathroom. I mean, how many rooms does this house have?!
I walked into a black and white bathroom. It was stunning. There was a walk in shower on the right, a double sink and mirror opposite with a huge corner bath next to it. I walked over to the shower and turned it on. On the back wall there was a toilet, a long shelving unit on the wall full of all different kinds of bathroom products. A little set of black marble drawers with some other products with a hanging towel rack mounted on the wall next to it.
My dad definitely made this house, amazing!
I took a deep breath.
I miss you, dad.
