Hate and Love

Chapter four- Arranged Marrage ✅

I wake up in a bed that isn't hard and cold, isn't the floor of a dusty old attic. It's soft and the pillows are fluffed. All I remember is spilling my life story on Brandon, a guy I had just met. Plus, he's none other than my mate. What happened after I did that though?

I pull the cover off of me and scoot to the edge of the massive bed. I stand up and realize I'm not in my clothes. Who would have changed me? Instead of the tattered up and old clothes, I wore a silk robe. It's light blue fabric flows over my body, making my little curves more flattering than what the tattered cloths did.

"How did I get here?" I ask myself looking around the room to inspect it. The bed I was laying in a few moments ago took up most of the room it was that big. Over to the left of the bed was a counter that held a clock and a green lamp. To the right there was a bare space. Over against left wall was giant window looking over the woods.

On one side of the window sat a dresser and on the other was a wardrobe. On the wall in front of the bed was a door. Thin green lines decorated it making the door seem like it led to a magical place. I walk closer to the door and hesitantly open it. On the other side of the door was a bathroom. Not just any bathroom. Oh no. This bathroom was gigantic, bigger than any bathroom I cleaned at the Striped Fighters pack house.

I slip back out of the bathroom and open up the wardrobe to see many different fancy shirts and some dresses. One dress caught my eye. A simple green dress. I take it off the hook it hung on and slipped it on after taking the robe off.

Thankfully I had undergarments on. I make my way over to the door that probably leads out of this room after I slipped on some flats that were almost the same color as the dress.

Right outside the door sat a girl who was no older than 14 years of age. Her red hair goes down to her shoulders an looks silky smooth. She wears a cute little outfit that consisted of some black van shoes, a black tanktop with a small red leatherjacket over it. She also wore leggings. Typical teenager clothing.

She was sitting on a plastic chair sleeping. I tap her shoulder and she jerks awake."I'm sorry I feel asleep. I know I was supposed to stay away until the girl got up!" She yells frightened not realizing who I was.

"I, for one, think its quite alright." I tell her. Her eyes avert to mine and her face lightens up

"You're alive. It's a miracle." She gets out of the chair and hugs me. I go stiff and stand still. She notices my reaction and slowly releases me."Oh I'm sorry."

"It's uh quite alright. Um so who might you be an why did you seem surprised that I was awake?" I ask confusion showing on my face.

"Oh I'm Sara. Brandon's little sister it's nice to meet you." She reaches her hand out for a hello shake. Even though I knew what she was going to I still flinch. I take her hand after a few seconds and she violently shakes.

The smile on her face makes me smile too. She retracts her hand and continues to speak,"I was told by Brandon to keep watch at your door and wait for you to wake up. You've been asleep for three days. We all thought you had kind of went into a coma."

She looks up at me in what looks like a daze,"The pack doctor said that you were sleep deprived. That you needed your sleep. Are you my brothers mate? That you would be totally awesome if you are."

"Uh, yea I am. Do you want to show me around the pack house?" I ask.

"Well, you woke up right at breakfast time. The servants are cooking breakfast right now." She smiles so big that her eyes are small slits. Shock overtakes me. I grab her by the shoulder and stare into her eyes, water making its way to my eyes.

"Please don't tell me you hurt them. Please. Please tell me you don't." Tears are streaking down my face now. Leaving my face red an puffy. The memories of what happened to flash through my head.

I slide down the wall and curl into a ball, Sara getting down on her knees next to me."We don't hurt the servants. I promise. They get payed. I swear. I'm sorry for making you cry." Sara's eyes start to water up and I bring her in for a hug.

"I'm sorry for reacting like that. I just thought about my past. I'm sorry." I wipe my tears away and help Sara stand up. She too is wiping away her tears."Do you MIND taking me to meet the servants?" I ask.

Sara nods her head then takes me to the stairs that I never noticed. We go down one floor and all around you see tables upon tables. On the other side of the room is an area kind of like where you get your food in high school.

We continue our way through the rows of tables until we reach the back of the room. Double doors are perched there, a small window in both like you see at some restaurants. Sara pulls me through the doors and I see many people working on some food.

By the smell it's something I have never cooked or eaten. A girl right in front of us stops whatever she was doing and makes her way to me and Sara. She looks no older than me. Brown hair that goes to her mid-back and bright brown eyes accompany her looks.

She wears some causal blue jeans and a shirt that read 'I Like Who I Am, Deal With It.' Her ears are pierced and she wears a white apron like every one else in this room.

"Hello, I'm Jenna, you must be the famous Levy that every one has been talking about 'round here." Her voice is sweet and kind and I instantly know that in the near future we are going to be great friends, hopefully.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you. Um, I didn't know that everyone was talking about me." I giggle a little.

"Who wouldn't want to talk about the girl who is supposed to be the alpha's mate. Are you his mate because I would like to know. By the way, your prettier than what I heard."

I blush because I've never been complimented before, it's shocking. "Uh, yea I'm his mate. Why is it such a big deal?"

"It's a big deal because now the alpha doesn't need to have an arranged marriage. You arrived so that skank Delilha won't get to be Luna. I generally never liked her. She was just into the marriage for the power over the pack she would receive." Jenna explains.
