The table was already filled by the time Zayn and I joined in. We took our seats next to each other as everyone ate. The tension was clearly there. Zayn held my hand under the table throughout the feast.
By the time everyone was done eating Benjamin decided to start the talking. "Y'all know we didn't arrange this feat to feed you guys, so I'll get straight to the point, you Omegas and Alphas need to stop killing people for the fun of it" Benjamin 's voice echoed.
"And why should we listen to you? We're not under your pack" The one they call Rodney asked with a dirty smirk plastered on his face. Now I see why he's the most hated.
"It's not just about listening to me, it's about the innocent people you guys are killing" Benjamin spoke in a slow but dangerous tone. He has that tone that tells him, if they don't agree with him, he will tear them apart.
"What can we do, we ain't goody people like y'all" Another girl spoke up from across the table. She had long blonde hair and light brown eyes.
"We were hoping that this would not end this way" Cole 's voice carried through the room.
"We'll give you guys a week, if in a week even a fly Is hurt by you wolves, it wouldn't end well" Lucas firmly states. His long black hair falling across his face as his eyes pierced through the group of different alpha and Omega's. Damn did he look attractive.
I felt Zayn squeeze my hand from underneath the table staring at me with a warning smile. He said he didn't read minds right?
I flashed him a nervous smile with all my teeth on display.
"I see y'all got a human toy" A pained dude from across the table speaks up and I feel Zayn tense beside me.
"What?" Zayn asks.
"Look-" Benjamin starts but gets interrupted by Zayn.
"What's your name again?" Zayn snaps his fingers repeatedly relaxing on his seat.
"Bill"
"Of course your name is bill" Justin clears his throat trying to muffle his laughter and so does Cole, Noah and Jake.
"To end this whole uncomfortable meeting, you guys have to stop with the killings, or else we won't be sitting back" Benjamin says, trying to change the topic.
"I don't know about the others but as for me Benjamin , I'll do whatever the fuck I want to do" Rodney speaks standing up "And Zayn, you should really mark your human girl because you never know who would come by and steal her away" Zayn abruptly gets up making the seat fall to the ground. Everyone stands up after him as he makes his way over to Rodney who stood there with a smirk.
"I dare you to say that again!" Zayn growls shoving Rodney, making him stumble back. I quickly take Zayn's hand and squeeze on it.
"Oh the girls are fighting" Cole says, still shoving his face with strawberries. Benjamin clears his throat trying to get everyone's attention as Rodney stood in front of Zayn with an annoying smirk.
"Stop this immediately" Benjamin states, adjusting his navy blue blazer. "Rodney I'd shut my mouth if I were you" he adds getting up from his seat and slowly walking to the scene.
Rodney chuckles before patting Zayn's shoulder. "I love it when you're mad" And with that he walks away but stops just at the door "And Zayn, your human smells fresh" Zayn attempts to go after him but is pulled by Olivia and Charlie.
"What are y'all waiting for?! Get the hell out!" Zayn yells at the other supernaturals more interested in that food than the argument. They all scoff and frown before getting up one by one and leaving.
"I guess I'll be seeing you guys around" The girl that came early said, the one named Kate.
As the door shut behind her, everywhere remained silent.
Benjamin rushes to Jake holding onto him. It was then that I noticed that Jake has been hyperventilating. How didn't I notice that since the beginning of this feast?
"Are you okay? We noticed something was wrong" Noah says, patting Jake's back.
Zayn walks to Jake "What's wrong?" He asks
"Jake calmed down and told us what happened," Olivia says. I honestly didn't know what was happening, is this something that happens often? If it was then everyone wouldn't be so worried.
"Zayn next time... you're talking about...how...you felt...when you met...Diana...you have to be more specific because FUCK! IT'S SO PAINFUL!"
"You found your mate?! When!? Where?!" Justin questions shaking Jake.
"Kate" Everyone remains silent not knowing what to say next. Kate? The Alpha that kills people? The Kate that just left?
"Kate? Filthy Kate?!" Zayn shouts, making Jake send him a glare.
"She's not filthy!" Jake's voice booms around the entire sitting room as his eyes glow blue. My heart skips seeing him look like that.
"Yea sure Romeo" Benjamin sends Zayn a warning glare.
"She must have also felt it," Benjamin quietly says.
"Of course she did but because she's such a bitch she decided to hide it just to punish Jake, she has stronger endurance cos she's a fucking Alpha" Lucas says making Jake exhale loudly while shutting his eyes, probably trying to remind calm.
"That's why she said she'll be seeing us around" I state.
"The problem here isn't that she's your mate, but that she's an alpha" Olivia speaks up, everyone looks confused. Well everyone except Justin and Benjamin who has an idea of where this is going.
Everyone turns to look at Noah who seems to realize something important.
"A pack cannot have two alphas" Noah speaks slowly.
"We weren't even thinking of letting her join her right?" Cole asks, looking between Benjamin and Olivia. The silence tells us that she has to join us.
"It's only normal for her to join our pack but..." Benjamin pauses tightly, shutting his eyes. Even Benjamin had nothing to say, that means that this isn't a little issue.
"First of all let's talk about Jake" Charlie started "Are you okay?" She adds
"I'm not" His lips stretched into a sad smile as he stood up and started going up the stairs to his room. Jake was the last person that should be going through this,not that anyone should be Jake...
"This feat just brought more problems to our already heavy problem" Cole muttered following behind Jake.
I couldn't help but feel guilty. If I didn't suggest a party then this wouldn't have happened. Zayn wraps his hands around my shoulders, turning me to face him.
"You don't have to feel guilty, Jake would have met Kate even if this feat didn't happen" I nod slowly making him smile. We walk hand In hand into Zayn's room.
While in his room I couldn't help but notice his mood change. I knew it wasn't because of Jake's issue, it was something more.
"What's wrong?" I ask laying next to him. He shakes his head with a low hum. He shifts closer to my frame snaking his hand around my waist and pulling me closer and placing his head on my chest.
"I know something is wrong, you can tell me" I mumbled while running my fingers through his hair.
He sighs "It's Rodney, what he said about someone taking you away got to me I guess" He mumbles against my chest.
"You don't have to worry about anything like that Zayn, who could possibly take me away?" I chuckle trying to lighten the mood but Zayn wasn't convinced.
"It's not about someone literally taking you away, he was just trying to mock me cos I haven't marked you yet" I remain silent not knowing what to reply to that.
"I don't-"
"I know you're not ready yet, I can wait for as long as you like" My movement on his hair slowed down.
It isn't that I'm not ready or that I don't trust Zayn but I was scared, I do not want to do this because Zayn asked but because I want it too. Am I being too cruel by delaying the marking process?
"Zayn" I call shaking him a little but he doesn't bulge. Was he sleeping?
I secretly took off his head from my chest, standing up and walking out the door. My mind pondered around the marking ceremony as my legs took me down the stairs.
"Hey" I jumped when someone whispered behind me startling me.
"Cole" I called out, placing my hands on my chest in relief. Justin chucked shoving his hands into his pocket.
"What's in your mind, you're restless" He says following me as we walk down together. Arriving in the sitting room we sat on a couch together.
"I'm thinking about Zayn marking me, I don't know why I'm scared of the thought" I reply.
"You're scared cos you're human, it's normal to be scared of these kinda things, thinking about him sinking his fangs into your flesh is terrifying I know, but you love him don't you?" I nod feeling the tears well up in my eyes. "And you trust him?" Cole asks again.
"I do" I reply with a voice barely there.
"Then you don't have to be terrified, if you trust that Zayn wouldn't do anything to hurt you then you go ahead with it" He says, taking my hand into his and squeezing it.
"Thank you" I whisper, earning a chuckle from him as he wipes my tear stained cheek. He nods standing up and leaving through the entrance door.
Today has been a rollercoaster.
