I slowly opened my eyes, I am greeted by the soft glow of the morning sun streaming through the large windows of where I assumed is the pack house.
Blinking away the remnants of sleep, I take my time to absorb the serenity of the room. The spaciousness and simplicity of the decor create a serene atmosphere, instantly putting my mind at ease.
I stretched my limbs and sat up straight, resting my back on the headboard. The walls adorned with soothing shades of grey and white, complimented by tasteful artwork.
The room is quite organized, with everything I need within arm's reach. Stepping onto the plush carpet , I slowly made my way towards a door I assumed to be the bathroom, as soon as I opened the door, I'm met with a huge closet filled with all kinds of clothes, shoes, wrist watches, and underpants. My cheeks immediately heated up, there's no way he bought these things himself. When did he prepare all of these? Do I even have enough space to fit in my clothes?
Feeling a little bit of hope build in me, I smiled to myself. Walking out of the door, I closeded it and proceeded to the other large wooden door by the right. I opened the door and I am immediately met with a luxurious oasis. The sleek marble countertops, adorned with elegant fixtures, invites me to indulge in a moment of self care.
I don't know how long I slept in, and what I was injected with before losing consciousness, but judging by the way I feel much better now, I must have slept in for days. And that's when my brain began working again, then I remembered the welcoming ceremony. Did they already do it without me? Will I have a separate welcoming ceremony? I bet no one will even bother to show up hehe.
I'll just have to ask Liam when I see him, he has a lot of explaining to do anyway.
Although I felt more relieved and in less pain, I stillll felt a little bit of pain around my back area. So I carefully took off my shirt, and proceeded to take offf my pants too. I was about to get in the shower when the door suddenly slammed open. I let out a girly scream.
"The hell! What do you think you're doing here? Don't you think it's rude to barge in the bathroom when there's someone in already?" Feeling extremely shy, I scurried out for the towel that was hung close to the mirror.
"Do I have to take permission from you before I come in my room kid?" He spat.
"You brought me here, I didn't ask you to." I fired back.
"And you think I wanted to? Don't be delusional." My heart sank.
"De-de-delusional? Who's being delusional? Doesn't change the fact that you brought me here against my wish. And if you don't want me here then take me back to my hostel, I feel much better now anyway." I started to tremble.
He grabbed my arm too tight and I winced at the pain, he suddenly had black eyes and that's when realization hit me. His wolf had been out since he walked in, his wolf is in control now. Fear suddenly consumed me.
"Wh-what do you think you're doing? It fucking hurts man, let go." I pulled gently on his hand but he tightened his grip instead causing me to let out a little cry.
"You sure do have a lot of guts kid, not only do you irritate me, your existence is trouble for me okay. I don't know how you turned out to be my mate but a guy as my mate? Disgusting! Not only are you weak, you're incompetent, incapable, and too stupid to be my mate so until I have everything sorted out, you're not allowed to go anywhere without a warrior by your side okay?"
Tears immediately clouded my eyes. My heart completely shattered. Then his eyes went to the normal amber color and his facial expression changed, I could swear I say a little bit of guilt in his eyes but it was instantly gone and his usual cold expression was there now. He roughly let go of my hand and turned around to leave, then he stopped and sighed lowly.
"The ceremony will hold tonight, it was delayed cause of you. Make sure to keep your distance from me and not a word about this to anyone. If anyone asks, let them know you're just a guest and nothing more. And not just here, also in school." Then he walked out.
I let the tears flow and slowly touched my now bruised arm. Feeling really sad, I couldn't stop the heavy sobs that broke out of me. I cried not because I wasn't wanted, but because he thought being with me was disgusting. Why does things like this happen to me? Who exactly did I offend?
I turned on the shower and stepped in, soaking my body with the warm water whilst I cried my eyes out. The ceremony is tonight, I need to get myself together and prepare for it. I'm a guy after all, guys don't cry so much.
I don't know how long I stayed in the shower, I came out and met Liam sitting by the edge of the bed with a book in his hand. I guess this are going fine for him, his mate is gay anyway so he doesn't have to worry. I sighed loudly and walked up to him.
"Oh..finally! I thought you died in there or something." He smirked.
I cleared my hoarse throat and gave him a smalll smile.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you come in."
"The ceremony is tonight, Junbi wa dekita ka?(are you ready?)"
I laughed at how sluggish his Japanese sounds, then I nodded.
"Sōde wa arimasenga, watashi wa ikinokorimasu.(Not really, but I'll survive.)" I chuckle lightly.
"You have a lot of questions right? I know everything must be very shocking to you." He suddenly looked at me and smiled. I felt my eyes tear up again, and so I blinked continuously to get rid of the tears.
"He hates me. He wants me to stay away from him cause I disgust him. I may not know anything about werewolves, but I definitely know we're mates. I made researches about all creatures here when we got here. What I don't understand is how I'm his mate. He isn't gay, he screws girls. Will the pack accept a weakling like me as his mate? I can't even express myself now without tearing up. I just wanna go back home Liam." Heavy sobs broke through me as I remembered the things he said to me.
"I'm so sorry Ryo." He pulls me gently into his chest. I cried into his arms. "I'm sorry you're going through this and I can't even do anything to help."
"I just miss home, even though I knew life here wouldn't be easy but I never expected it to be this complicated." I pulled out of his hug and sighed softly. "I'm alright. I can get through this. You'll be fine Ryo. Daijōbudesu yo.
