Howl To My Heart

Chapter 10

The week passed by without me seeing Dmitri again .
He left in the morning after the night he marked me , giving me a few sweet kisses before walking out of my room through the balcony doors  .

Aunt Lou came by on Friday morning and informed Mom that the wedding will be happening only if I'm not there .

So I decided to not attend and give the Wolves what they wanted and to let Aunt Lou have her happy ending .

It hurt so bad that they could be so against one of their own kind just because  of the colour of one's hair and that because of superstitious nonsense  .

I  read up on werewolf religion and educated myself on everything that wasn't myth  . Nowhere in the books did it state that I was the dark spawn of the Sun Goddess . It only stated that there were once a pack that revered the Sun Goddess and the Moon Goddess equally . They were all redheads  . A child like me were once a gift from both the Goddesses . It made me question what had changed  that a redhead became so hated by their own kind .

I stayed home on Friday , refusing to go to school . I missed Dmitri . Immensely so .

I sent him a text message every night since the marking . He has yet to reply .
I was beginning to think that he had left me for good.

On Friday afternoon  Dad and I left for Jade City to visit my Gran on Dad's side .

She was particularly opinionated on the subject of the Wolves and their prejudices  against me .

Dad didn't attend the wedding because he was angry . Angry at Alexei and Alexei's family . Angry at Aunt Lou for being such a pushover , not my words , and let them walk all over her . He was angry at Mom for still wanting to attend . He felt it wasn't right . But I understood . It's Mom's cousin . She can't be angry at Aunt Lou for wanting to have a happy ever after with her Wolf .

I was hurt . Not angry .....Well, maybe a little angry because I wanted to be at my favourite Aunt's wedding . Only , it didn't work out that way for me .

So here I was browsing clothes in a clothing department store , wishing something that couldn't come true .

Dad gave me some money to spend on something nice and I just had to see what Bling Blinky had to offer . Bling Blinky always had affordable prices on most of their merchandise and some of the clothes had good quality . Like the black knee length skirt I am wearing , paired with a lilac  spaghetti strap blouse that grazed the top of the skirt .

Dad never liked me wearing clothes that shows my stomach. I'm used to it by now and don't bother buying anything that was too revealing .

I actually liked Bling Blinky's clothes. But I mostly liked Fame United's , where they sold Moonborn  printed merchandise as well as any other famous person's .

I saw a Sally Dales dress once . I didn't buy it . Dad would've burst a vein at how short it was . I think my panty would've shown if I wore it .

I bend down by a shelf of different kinds of shorts , to look at a pair of shorts ,that was buy a one-get-two-free kind of deal .

The shorts were made of t-shirt material and looked very comfortable .

They were the kind of shorts people would wear until they literally fell apart .

I picked up six pairs of different colours . A girl's gotta be prepared , right ?.

From there , I moved to a rack with t-shirts . They were the common plain ones and not very nice looking , so I skipped them .

I might just visit Fame United and see what they have to offer .

My phone pinged in my skirt's pocket and I decided to check quickly who texted me .
