Not Even In Your Dreams, Alpha (III)

Chapter 12

Hey guys... Sorry (again...) for not posting this on Wednesday... Same-old-same-old, school, work, and school work. So, here you are! I posted!

Emma

Soran isn't at school today. But why do I care? He's been nothing but a thorn in my side this entire first semester. I'm just glad I won't see him for an entire week for Thanksgiving break. I am so done with his shit.

Ever since the night Gaven became Alpha, Soran has been doing everything in his power to apologize to me and to try and get me to stop trying to reject him.

I glanced over my shoulder to his table and saw only his Beta and third in command at the table, whispering to each other. Why do they even follow him? They can see that he's a jerk. They seriously can't think he's a great leader and don't agree with how he holds himself. Hell, I know they don't like how he sleeps with other women instead of his future Luna. My heart tightened a bit, but I quickly brushed it off.

I looked back to my table, noting that only Linda was sitting with me today. Kester is out sick, while Gaven is with Emily out doing... something. He won't tell me what. He seriously has to tell her what's going on!

The night she called him right after he became Alpha, he told her that she was probably just imagining things, and that she might just be tired, or that she craves his touch. And she bought it! Then again, humans will believe just about everything they hear...

"Hey, Ems?" I looked up to Linda. "I need to head to the library. I know lunch just started and all, but I really need to so I can do something for a class."

I nodded. "Yeah, go ahead. You don't need my permission to go do something."

She chuckled. "I know. I was just letting you know what's going on. Later, Emma."

"See ya." I waited until she was gone before I cast my gaze to my barely eaten food. I just haven't been too hungry these past couple days. It's as if my body knows I am hurting from what Soran did to me and our soul we share and is just slowly shutting down. Oh god, I seriously hope I don't end up spiraling down into a pit pf depression and the only cure is to be with him...

I jumped slightly as the sound of people sitting in front of me alerted me and made me look up. There sat Soran's Beta and third.

"Hello, Emma." His Beta nodded to me.

I nodded back, but didn't say a word. I don't know these people. Yes, I know of them, but I don't know who they actually are.

"I bet you're wondering why Soran isn't here today," I shrugged at the third and picked at the noodles on my tray. "Well, he went back home."

That caught my attention. The Beta continued. "He went to ask his father to see if he can allow him to stay longer."

"You mean I have to put up with his bullshit for a longer time now?" I blurted out, even though I wanted that to stay in my head.

"Yeah..." The third slowly raised an eyebrow at me. "You'll have to deal with it..."

"Didn't mean to blurt that out," I said around a bite of food. "I swear I wanted that to stay in my head."

"Yeah, okay..." The Beta cleared his throat. "Anyway, he said he's going to try and stay for as long as possible to try and get you to be with him and see that he is not a bad guy."

I snorted and tried to cover my laugh. "Yeah, like that'll ever happen."

"You don't see him after school like we do." The Beta said as he leaned forward over the table a bit. "You don't see the hurt, the pain, and the regret that courses through his entire body. Ever since he stopped seeing other women, he's been trying ever so hard to be loyal to you."
