Chapter 10: Chapter 10

NICOLE POV

I woke up the following morning to see my brother and his smiling mate. Aww.

"Ugh, looks like they've already reconciled." I thought.

Wait, did I just see something on Eunice's neck.

"How are you feeling?" Xander asked.

"I am fine," I said still looking at her neck. She noticed it and covered it.

I moved my hands to her neck, I removed her hands to reveal a wolf howling at the moon --- my brother's mark. I smiled at her. So this was the way they reconciled.

"Congratulations," I said.

"Thanks." She replied sheepishly.

"So when is the Luna ceremony?" I asked.

"Still thinking."

"Ohh, okay then."

The doctor came in, later on, he checked every part of me to make sure I am fine. He told my brother that I am fit to be discharged.

I pulled out of the ward wear and wore the clothes that Eunice brought for me. On getting home, I remembered something -- she -- that witch that killed my parents --- Ciara. I never knew she was still alive.

"Where is she?" I asked suddenly, well, my wolf, Lora was also angry. She misses my dad's wolf, Damon. They used to play together, they tell each other secrets and keep them away from us, their humans. It was so memorable.

My brother knew who I was referring to,

"She is at her place," Lucas replied.

"Let's go," I said because I don't know her place.

We left for her house, as we got there,

"Uh, so smelly," Janet said not going inside while the rest of us covered our noses with our palms and went inside. As we moved deeper into the place, this place is the worse place a human could ever live in, with a half-broken mirror, torn bedsheets, wooden bed.

How does she even sleep? Well not like I care. This is the price for taking away people's lives.

Then we saw her lying on the floor unconscious. Wait, is she dead?... That can't be possible now... Not when I just met her..... She is yet to take the side of the pain she caused me.

"No, she can't die now, hospital right now!!!!" I yelled.

My brother's mind linked the pack guards. They came in afterward and carried her limp body to the hospital.

**********************

A few hours later.....................

I was staring at her the whole time as soon as she was placed in the ward.

I remembered when we used to play when we were younger, we built sandcastles, we went on several picnics, we climbed different trees to hide from my brother and parents, we played hide and seek. We would go to the packed kitchen to steal some fried potato chips.

How could she have survived this?

Her entire body is a bruised mess, with untreated wounds, colored injuries, broken bones. Well, I am not pitying tho. Because if not for her our beloved pack would still be in contact, we would have been complete, I would have had younger siblings but she...... She ruined it all.

She kept thrashing on the bed,

What is wrong with her?

"Get the doctor," I ordered one of the pack guards around me. They rushed soon after.

"What is happening to her?' I asked.

"She is finding it hard to breathe." He said.

After a while, she screamed.

"Looks like the jinx has woken up," I said. She looked at me.

"You know I was so scared that you would do without receiving my part of the pain you incurred on me," I said.

"I hope you heal real quick," I said and left. Not like I care if she heals. Anyhow, anytime I could come to fetch her. Even now...

*UNKNOWN POV**

"So he already marked her." I thought staring at her.

"It is alright." I thought and smirked.

"The Luna ceremony is coming up soon, right?"

"Let's see if it will happen." I smiled.

My friends do not even know what I am going through except that filthy omega. Only she knows the relationship between the Alpha and I. She was going that day when she saw us seating by the lake. I remembered I had also asked Xander to show me his wolf but he refused.

Assuming I had to get to meet his wolf, we might still be together but no, that wolf hates me to the bones.
