Rejection HURTS, Revenge Can Help

Chapter 14

I was getting bandaged up by one of the pack nurses on top of my bed in my room. Damian was sitting next to me holding my hand. Ever since he found me in my bathroom, he refused to leave me alone. Normally, this affection would annoy me,but this is Damian. The only person in the room who was there for me from the get go.I can trust him enough not to stab me in the back.

My room was packed. Maria and Marques were standing to my right. Their son was standing off to the side behind them. Zane was sitting at my feet with Andre on his lap. Sol and Aearel were standing together with their arms around one another. Kuwaii. Sasha, Austin, the twins Jesse and James and Lucas were just standing here. I don't know why everyone is in here. I guess they wanted to know what is up with me.

The nurse who was standing over me smiled sympathetically."Well, sweetie. It looks like your neck is already scabbing over. In fact, you are healing at a remarkable rate. I don't think it will leave a scar. Your leg isn't broken or fractured. And with the way your body is healing, I believe your leg will be healed up by the morning. I suggest that you just take it easy until then."

I nodded wordlessly. Damian was sensing I wasn't in the mood to talk so he spoke up for me."When can she take off her bandages?"

"You can take the bandages off in the morning." The nurse smiled thinly at me before packing up and leaving the room. After she left, the nurse was gone Maria cleared her throat."I know all of you are extremely confused. I guess now would be the greatest time to explain..."

So she did. She told them everything. No one breathed or tried to interrupt her. They were too transfixed by her words that they just shut up. When she was finished, everyone's attention immediately shifted to me.There was an awkward silence after that. I just looked down. Away from the sympathetic looks of my pack. I hated when people did that. Give me looks like they understood what I was going through and looked at me like I was weak because I obviously wasn't. Especially Xavier. He was looking at me like he actually cared.

"Don't look at me like that." I whispered.

"Like what?" Xavier asked.

I looked up and glared him right in the eye."Like you care." I said that with a louder voice this time. With a voice only an Alpha possesses. I wasn't yelling. I just got the base in my voice that made it look like I was strong. My hand slipped from Damian's as I stood and crossed my arms."Because I definitely know with all my heart that you don't."

It was deadly silent. No one moved. Only stared at Xavier and me as the situation began to unfold between us all. Xavier pushed past his parents to face me. He was taller than me so he could look down on me,but that didn't stop me from straightening up my spine to show I wouldn't cower.

He glared back."Who said that I didn't care?"

I raised a brow."Actions speak louder than words sweetie and your actions absolutely screams that you were put on this earth to not give a shit about me and make my life a living hell. And quite frankly, I have no idea why you are even here. Shouldn't you be with your precious Britney?"

We were little closer. The tension in the room couldn't be cut with the sharpest katana in the world. Xavier locked his jaw."You don't know anything."

I scoffed. "Try me Xav. I know everything that you think that I don't know and so much more. If I haven't demonstrated that to you earlier and yesterday, clearly you need another lesson."

I could feel it. The power that roused deep inside me. The strength brought me the power to kill those rogues. I was suddenly filled with immense power that frightened yet excited me as well. It was foreign this feeling,but I knew it was the real me that belonged there.

"I really wish you two wouldn't flirt like this."

And like that, all that anger and tension, all the fire that made us argue was doused with embarrassment and laughter. I raised my brow at Sasha, who had the nerve to say such a thing. I burst into laughter while Xavier blushed.

"He only wishes because he knows that this as close as he will even get. He thinks that he is the 'big bad wolf' and what he saw in the clearing was all that I had to show." I looked over at Xavier with a cocky smile."Trust me there is much more to come. You think thats all because honey you haven't seen anything yet."
