The Mark of the Were - Chapter 7 - Past Meets Present

Chapter 7 - Past meets Present

The next few days were the worst of my life. I couldn't eat nor drink. All my nights were always disturbed by images of my mother burning all alone in the house with nobody to help her while I was here in his house smiling and laughing like nobody's business.

My life practically went downhill from there. I ignored my mate's advances and i could tell that he was really hurt by it but I couldn't bring myself to smile anymore. Not when i know that everytime i smiled, my mother is all alone in the house suffering. It hurts me to know that I couldn't be there for her in her time of need.

I woke up alone again in the middle of the night, knowing I had to do something to counter my guilt. It was at that point of time my life changed forever.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I ran fast that night. Ran away from everything that I had known. I knew that the only way for me to atone is to leave and live my life alone. I knew it sounds stupid but at that point of time, it sounded so rational to me that I didn't care about anything at all.

I didn't carry much at all. Just something light like clothing and some money. After my mom died, I found out that she actually had stashed some money away for me. It was like she knew what would happen to her. It wasn't just some money actually.. It was quite alot.

Too much that I actually was able to buy a house somewhere far away from Aidan. Too much that work for me is only something to fill up my time instead of a necessity.

I didn't care anymore.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has been a few years since I left Aidan. It was hard considering that everynight my dreams always consist of him tearing up and him becoming heartless. I knew deep inside that the dreams are true and that he has changed. But, I couldn't go to him again.

Since I moved into this city, I started to learn alot about being a werewolf by myself. The pollution in this city helped to mask my scent from people and i was grateful. I had gone quite high in my career and now I have my own office in my workplace.

I didn't really mix around so much since i was scared that there was a possibility that people here knows Aidan. How I knew that? I had access to the company client's file and guess what, Aidan is one of their major client.

Briiing!!!!!!!!!! Brriiinnnggg!!!!!!!

"Argh...," I woke up to the sound of my annoying alarm clock. It took awhile for me to adjust to my new strength. It took around 40 alarm clock to control my urge to just beat the bloody thing.

I had cut my hair short since that time in order to disguise myself. I took a bath and took my time styling myself. I didn't bother covering my scar up anymore since I had go up in ranks. They had no choice  but to keep me because I'm the only one they got. Anyway, it looked quite good.

I grabbed my handbag and prepared myself to smell the polluted air outside my home. I braced myself and cringed when I opened the door. I had grown quite used to it already and made my way to my workplace.

Once I entered my own office, i sighed and started working on my project. Surprising enough, I became an architect. I designed buildings and such. Right now, I am working in a huge project that cost billions and billions of dollars.
