The Lone White Wolf (Book one)

Chapter 52

MILA 

After an hour of standing on the cliff top, Archer and I made our way back through the shortcut to the pack house. As we reached the bottom, it was quiet, and the sun was going down.

"Little dove, you can do this. I'm sure you will be back for the pack and also your mate soon," Archer says quietly.

"Do you know what the curse is about?" I ask, hoping he would know more, but he shakes his head. "No, little dove, Moon Goddess knew people would be after you. I would expect she will come to you before we leave," he says, sounding certain.

I was about to open my mouth to say something else when the front door to the pack house opened; everyone was running out towards us. They all look relieved to see me.

"Remember Mila, we are unhappy with them," says Sapphire. I can sense she is unhappy about the situation, but this is how it must be.

I look at them but put my most angry face on them. Emily comes to a complete stop. "Mila, please, we didn't know..." she said, but I had to cut her off. "I don't want to know; George used magic and even tortured me to keep me quiet, making me feel like a fool when I woke up the next day, telling me I was clumsy. When all along he and your bitch mother wanted information about something we didn't even know anything about," I said with a hiss.

Emily looks hurt and has tears streaming down her cheeks. "Please, I had no clue what was happening," she shouted.

I walk straight past her until I feel sparks go up my arm by the touch that just reached out to grab my arm to stop me from walking away. I know who it is.

Nathaniel.

I spin around and growl at him. "Get off me; go back to your whore or whoever it is you are fucking now."

The look of hurt spreads across his face. Sapphire has put a block up so his wolf doesn't reach out to her. I can tell he is talking to his wolf but now has a blank expression. "Mila, unblock Sapphire. You both need to talk to us." I shake my head. "Hell no, man whore, I'm not. I have had enough of feeling hurt and secrets to last me a lifetime. I don't want to know anything about you; it has nothing to do with my wolf."

I shove his arm off mine. "Now, leave me alone; I want everyone to stay away from me." I look over to Archer, who is trying to hold Miles back.

"I mean it! Leave me alone!" I scream, sending some of my power through my hand as I flick it out too quickly, which hurls them all back, and they all land on their arses. After a sudden, everyone looks at me, stunned.

"I'm warning you now. I'm sick of all this. I need you all to leave me alone," I shout and turn on my heel and run straight up the steps to the pack house, straight through the front door till I reach the room I was in last. I open the door and run in, slamming the door shut tight behind me, tears streaming down my face. I slide down the door till my butt hits the floor. I wrap my arms around my knees and cry.

My emotions are intense. I can feel them rise, which doesn't help my power one bit.

I can feel Sapphire coming through; I know she can feel the pain. She masks our scent. I know she is in pain. We just hurt the ones we love. Why Moon Goddess? This can't be right.

"She must have her own reasons. We have to do this alone," Sapphire says, sulky.

I can't say anything as I know my voice would give too much away to her. Then I remember the photos in my back pocket; I move my one butt cheek off the ground and stick my hand into my back pocket to take them out. I hold them out to stare back at them. I know I'm crying about a lot of things, but the picture of my mother and I makes it a lot worse. I miss her so much. I know I didn't have any memories of her, but now they are back, all the moments she talked about the white wolf and how we were special.
