Monster

chapter six - gone

"The monsters hidden way beneath the mask we wear, are the ones that cause the most danger."

He looked at me, eyes filled with staggering concern and for a second, I felt a bond with him. There was something about his eyes that I couldn't quite discern. That little spark between us erupted, as I looked away from his intimidating gaze that was currently focused only on me. I shifted my seat, uncomfortable from his leering eyes. He wasn't just a physical monster; there was something else happening behind the raging storm in his eyes. As they flashed into a colour I'd been far too familiar with, I knew that it wasn't just him. There was something else.

There was something that I recognised fairly easily in those eyes of his; and that scared me the most. When they did appear, I could see the flashes of faded memory replaying over and over again right in front of me. It was like a movie that I couldn't stop watching. No matter how much I tried to pull away, I would always be pulled back again. It was like being tied down with ropes, struggling, until I realised that I couldn't break free.

A woman walked in, those blood red lips of hers curling into a smirk as she looked at me with distaste, taking in my ailing form. The woman, looking displeased, made a huffing sound and returned her attention back on me, her glare inevitably fixed on me. Her eyebrow raised, the cocky smirk playing on her lips. They curled into a snarl as the Alpha left the room, slamming the door in the process.

Nevertheless, the woman cleared her throat, pulled out a notebook, and looked at me sceptically. She sneered evilly at me when she saw the scars that completely covered my arms and legs. With a blank look on her face, she asked a couple of personal questions, writing whatever I said in a small notebook. The smug smile on her face grew wider when she saw how uncomfortable I was.

When she was finally done with the questions, she said,"Look at you, with your scars, bruises and injuries. You will never recover from what has been done to you. You're so pathetic you couldn't even protect or defend yourself in the process. A part of me wonders how you've survived for so long in this world. Just keep in mind, that in a matter of weeks, perhaps, you will no longer be able to hold on."

How lovely. I stared at her with a void look in my eye, unable to come up with anything else to say. Her perfectly drawn eyebrow rose as she stood up, sashaying towards the door as if she always walked like that. The Alpha strode in the room looking gorgeous as ever, but the cold mask still on his seemingly flawless face. His eyes drained of emotion, but the stars flashing behind the midnight sky. Disgust evident on his face as my heart beats more quickly, waiting to hear what he says.

He began,"Just because I saved you doesn't mean that I take back my rejection. To the rest of the pack, you're just a transfer from another pack that decided to move. No one, should know that we are mates. I will decide on what will happen next, alright? I don't care about you, and I never will. The Luna of this pack should be someone who is strong, brave and confident, not some...weak, poignant Omega like you. I don't even know what to do with you."

"How about...we make a deal?"

"Go on..." he said curiously, tilting his head to the side in an adorable way.

I must admit, the words hurt. With every insult that he snapped at me, the ache in my heart only grew heavier and heavier, weighing me down. A gut wrenching pain grappling with my heart, twisting my heartstrings. Again, he left the room, leaving me all alone to think. Even the doctors would come in and give me looks of repugnance, as if they were disgusted by my presence.

I was always a good child; maybe a bit withdrawn and introspective, but I never did cause danger to my pack, or anyone else around me. I never picked fights with anyone in school, nor any visitors from other packs. Or so I thought, since they all hated me for a reason I still had yet to find out. Those voices in my head never failed to bring me down, echoing the words that I hated, yet I knew it was the truth. Though it hurt to hear them, I knew it was the truth.
