Enigma

Chapter 29- Arabella



Chapter 29- Arabella

Taking advantage of everyone’s distracted state, I ran into the woods. They won’t notice me gone any

sooner as they were too focused on the snarling Ajax. I ran in a random direction without checking

where I was heading.

Why does everything bad have to happen to me? What have I ever done to anyone? I just wanted a

happy life after that dreadful year mom died and dad bailed on me. Do I not deserve to be happy?

I had thought that I will find my mate while in college or after it. We will get married and have a family

together. We will live happily away from the pack, away from Zeno and his lackeys. But no everything

had to come crashing down and I had to be mated to that good for nothing piece of shit. I know for sure

he will reject me. Even if he did stay with me, my life will be horrible. He will torture me daily. No one

will be able to stop him then. He will more like own me. Won’t he? He will have a free lane. He would

make sure to turn me into a laughing stock for everyone to see. Not even mom or dad would be able to

do anything. I wouldn’t possibly drag them into my mess. They have already done enough for me.

It’s not like I want to be with him. I would rather die than be with him. Poor Ajax. He is wonderful. I

couldn’t ask anything more for a mate, but Zeno had to ruin it all. I don’t know why he had to be the

Alpha. If it was someone else, I would have been able to be with Ajax without any problem.

“Ouch”

Me and my clumsy feet. Or is it my eyes’ fault. I got up from the forest floor rubbing my head to ease

the pain and dusting my clothes. Apparently in the midst of running I didn’t see the huge ass branch

sticking at the low level and smacked head long into it.

Where the hell did it come from? Stupid branch. My head hurts.

Wait a minute. Where am I?

I looked around myself to try to see if anything looks familiar, but I couldn’t see anything other than the

dense woods and darkness. I don’t think I had ever come to this part of the forest before.

Why the hell did I run? Me and my stupid decisions. But I needed to get away from there. I couldn’t see

Ajax like that. Besides I would have murdered Zeno if I had stayed there any longer. That is not nice

right. I don’t want to be a murderer anyways. It is no use killing him. I will leave this place in a year

anyways. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Well whatever that I am going to do, can wait. For this moment, I am utterly screwed. Mom is going to

skin me alive once she gets her hands on me. Lord save me from her wrath. One part of me is wishing

that she didn’t get to me, but another part wants her to be here with me as soon as possible.

What should I do now? I don’t; think anyone will even see me here. It’s so dark that I can hardly see my

hands.

This forest feels eerie now that I am actually looking around it. I should have just kept running without

looking. That way I wouldn’t have felt so sacred.

I sat down leaning on the very tree trunk that had smacked me with its branch. Stupid overgrown plant.

Yup! I will hold this grudge forever. The tree should have grown it’s branches higher.

I think I hit my head a little too hard. I am cussing at a tree. If that doesn’t make it clear, then what will?

Might as well rest up a little till there is at least a little light to see properly. Don’t want to go running in

circles. Do we now?

I don’t know how much time passed but I jerked awake by the rustling of footsteps.

Did they find me this early? Wonderful. Let’s get ready for the scolding party.

I was about to get up when I heard voices. They were talking amongst each other. What made me stop

was the language they were talking in? It oddly sounded like Italian. Nobody in the pack speaks that

language. Thank the heavens, I didn’t call out to them.

Their voices were growing louder. Don’t tell me they are coming this way. What have I gotten myself

into?

Should I move away from here? If I won’t, they will clearly see me when they will walk by the tree. But

it’s too dark to see. They might not see me. What should I do?

“L’hai sentito?” I heard one of them say. (Did you hear that?)

Fuck they are literally on the other side of the tree. Their footsteps halted. What are they talking about?

“Di cosa stai parlando?” Another gruff voice said. (What are you talking about?)

“Ascolta attentamente. Battiti del cuore.” It was the first voice again. (Listen carefully.

Heartbeats.)
