Just My Luck, Stuck With The Alpha.
Chapter Sixteen:
I jumped up on the counter in the kitchen and he sat on a stool and just stared at me. "This is the first time I've ever seen you in a dress." He said.
"Yeah, well I try not to wear dresses." I said. "They're easy access." Zev laughed and I just stared at him in admiration. 'Girl, you're falling harder and faster than a rock in midair.' My wolf announced. Tonight's my night; I don't want your convincing comments ok? 'I make no promises.'
"Silver..." Zev said looking at me.
"Hm? Yeah?" I said.
"Can we start over? I mean like... a new start. Erase our history." He asked. I scratched my head.
"I don't forget things Zev. I mean I believe in learning from mistakes. You can't just start over friendship and... other stuff. If you're asking if we can be friends I think that's a requirement." I said.
"A requirement?" He asked with his brow raised.
"Yeah, I mean after tonight I'm Alpha Silver Royale, that means me and you are gonna be friends." I said. "Alliances."
Zev pursed his lips together. "Ok, we can do that." He said a smile on his face. "I wanna get to know you more Silver. You're so mysterious to me." Now it was my turn to laugh.
"I'm mysterious to you? Wow, that's new. I mean I'm so obnoxious you really can't call me mysterious." I said.
"I mean like your history, you never talk about yourself or what you've ever accomplished in life. You're really all to yourself." He said his arms folded across his chest. 'A chest you'd love to lay on.' Ew, bad perverted wolf. No, bad, BAD wolf.
"Cause I'm not really proud of my life." I said. "I was born a happy girl, I got all the attention, but then it was like people stopped paying attention to me. So I started acting up. I became a rebel and did the opposite, it got me attention. But not the attention I wanted. And that's when my parents started becoming major bitches to me. I began to think they hated me and so I hated them back, then by the age of 16 they packed their shit and left with a note saying 'bye.' I mean hey, it was considerate to write a note and all but they could have said it to me so I could beg for forgiveness and beg for them to stay. They didn't as you know and I lived on life with my friends and adults out of my life. I partied hard. And now that I'm here it's like I regret it all." I said.
"Your story seems to be the PG13 version of mine." Zev sighed. That made me cock my head to the side.
"What's your story?" I asked.
"You really don't wanna know." He said. I leaned forward a little.
"You'll be surprised. I shared my story, now it's your turn." I said putting on a charming smirk. He inhaled and exhaled slowly.
"Ok, so I was born just like you, a happy kid. Proud of everything, I was a prodigy to my father. I was perfect to him. The apple of his eye. My mom adored me. Xerin was born shortly after, and dad wasn't very impressed with him. Mom loved him and babied him. It was like when he was born I lost all the nurturing from my mother. I was being fed brutal, hardcore work. My father pressured me. He always told me he wanted me to be strong, not to let emotions get a hold of me. It's like, Xerin learned that, but I never did. The Rhyne's were being attacked by this pack the Ice pack; they're enemies of Royale's and Rhyne's. Huge enemies. We were attacked at Midnight they came to kill me and Xerin so the Rhyne bloodline wouldn't continue. It was told that one of the Rhyne's would mate with one of the most powerful werewolves in 10 centuries. So they wanted to kill us off. And since they didn't know which one it was they were gonna kill both of us. My parents died protecting us. I could have saved my mother... I was strong enough to. She was murdered trying to hide me and Xerin. My dad went into rage when his mate was killed. He killed a lot of werewolves, once he killed the Alpha they all started to retreat. He came back to where my mother's dead body lay and he just... stayed there, his wounds were bad and he was bleeding entirely too much. He didn't die of blood loss though, he died of heart break. That very night, my parents died. I was forced to become Alpha at the age of 10. Xerin was Beta. Ever since then I learned to never show how I really feel, never show true emotions... only to my mate." He said. His face... there was soo much hurt in his eyes. It made my heart swell in my chest. I opened my mouth to speak. But nothing would come out. I felt horrible, I shouldn't have asked. I shouldn't have said anything. I should have left it alone. That's why he's the way he is... he's not heartless at all.
