Caged Your Heart

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

The morning light shone through. It has been 2 months ever since I've have lived with Alpha Hyde. As usual, our daily routine was the same. We don't speak much... maybe a word or 2 each day. In all honesty, it feels as if I was in isolation, locked inside of a cage. It frightens me that I actually might be like this my whole life.

My circumstances don't lead me to a very comfortable life.Alpha Hyde may be cruel, but it does seem he has a nice side. I don't know. Maybe I'm just imaging it. I might have a case of stockholm syndrome, because lately, I'm not so afraid of him. Sometimes, I almost pity him just because he reminds me so much of me. I see the same eyes I do when I look in the mirror.

As we were driving to school one day, I was suprised to hear Alpha Hyde speak an actual sentence.

"Today," he paused, "I want you to go to the back of the school. You'll meet someone there."

Wh-" he cuts me off. "You'll see when you arrive. This is the last chance for both you and me." Not knowing what to say I nod when he quickly glances at me and then glances back to the world. The car ride to school was filled with silence. Who was it that he wanted me to meet.

When school was over, I walked to the back of the school. I hesitated a little before opening the door and stepping outside. I made my way towards the woods. Who could it have been that he wanted me to meet. As I near, the gust of wind blows through me. I close my eyes and hold my hands to cover my face. As it passes, I stay frozen. His mouth watering scent wafted towards me.

I slowly remove my hands. My eyes are unvealed to his broad strong back. My breathing starts to slow as I back away in hesitation. I freeze as I rember his words. "This is the last chance for both you and me." After taking a deep breath, I understand what he meant by this. I take a step forward but freeze when he turns around. His gaze meets mine.

"I expected Alpha Hyde to come along. Never did I suspect he'd send you instead." He makes his way towards me. Losing all the courage I had before I stand frozen. Mistakenly thinking he'd stand in front of me, he walks past. "Tell Alpha Hyde to not waste my time again." He sounds annoyed.

Every step he takes, he gets farther. I clench my fist. I breathe heavily. I close my eyes. I need to do this. "The last chace", "The last chance". I can't run away now. I unclench my fist, slowly breathe, and open my eyes. I turn back around. I quickly say what I have to say before I lose the courage.

"I'm your mate!" I say desperately. He stops and I see his shoulders stiffen. I start again. "I'm your mate. I... I don't know if you can feel the bond, but I first felt the connection 4 months ago." slolwy tears start to pour out of my eyes. "When you gave Angela your mark, it hurt me so bad." I choke, "I cursed myself everyday thinking that you didn't want me, that you thought I was ugly, and that I was unworthy. But no, it's probably because you couldn't feel the bond right?" I ask. He stands unmoving. "During the last months, every night you spent with her, I could feel it. The pain was unberable. I almost wanted to die. Although it hurt so much, I didn't want to blame you. You probably didn't know, that we were fated to be together. If you did, I beleive that you wouldn't be so cruel as to do that to me. Even though this has all happened, I can forgive you for all that. It's not your fault. I just.. I just want you to come to me. I know you love her, but I can give you some time. Please." I cry.

He turns back to me. His face emotionless. "You're crazy." he says. I widen my eyes in surprise. He turns and walks away.

"Wade! Wade!" I call out in desperation. I run towards him. I grab his arm. I can feel the tingles. He looks at me disguised and shakes me off of him. I fall to the floor. He walks away. I just helplessly sit on the ground crying screaming his name over and over. But my words are useless.

Moments like these, we can't help but help feel broken. Maybe one of the worst feelings ever is when the person you love can't return the same feelings for you. Rejection hurts, but drowning in your thoughts unknown to the truth, hurts even more because you hurt yourself more than that of another person. And just like that our story has evolved to be more heartbreaking.
