Falling For The One I Hate, My Mate

Chapter 24

I threw the paper somewhere in anger and took my bag with me to my room. I changed into something more comfortable and went to the kitchen.

I got a glass of Cranberry juice for myself and walked up to my room. I made my room neat and put some music.

I did not break my head about who must have thrown the paper message at my back. I just forgot about it with the flow of music in my ears and making my room neat and tidy.

Suddenly Xavier's image flashed in my mind. I stopped what I was doing and stood still. Some corner, somewhere inside me, I yearned and longed to feel his touch and his presence around me. I wanted him to be near me, and I totally didn't understand why such feelings came in me. I was confused.

I suddenly came out of my deep thoughts and continued to listen to my song and cleaned the room.

After everything was clean and neat, I sat on my bed and remembered about the message Ryland had sent me. It was an unknown number but I knew it was Ryland, cause he is the only one to call me Boo.

I opened his message and read the message again and again. I didn't know what to reply. I didn't know if I should even reply to his dumb messages.

He just kept playing stupid pranks with me which I did not entertain at all. I kept my phone aside, layed down in a seated position on my bed and kept listening to my songs.

After a while, when it was around 5:30 pm, I heard a door bang. It was loud and it scared me really bad.

I put off the music and took out my head phones. I walked up to my door and hesitantly opened it.

I walked downstairs and saw mom sitting on the sofa with her head in her hands. The way she sat it self gave an impression that something was worrying her.

I sat beside her and kept a hand around her shoulder. She looked at me with a sad+angry face and looked at me. She gave a sad smile to me which I returned with a nice one.

"What happened mum? Why so stressed today?", I asked her.

"Alpha Nail, that's Xavier's father has irritated me to the core! I am so tired of telling him that you're a normal human but he doesn't believe me!!! And it is all because of Xavier, his son!", she exclaimed.

Oh . . so Xavier would be the next . . uh . . 'Alpha' of their tribe or gang or uh pack I guess, yeah pack, I thought. I wondered why they thought I was a wolf.

Maybe they think I am a wolf because of mom? But she is not my real mother so I ain't any 'werewolf'.

I just looked at her. I remembered about the small paper message I had got that afternoon. I thought it wasn't the right time to tell her about it. I decided to tell her about it at dinner.

At dinner she looked calm and in a normal mood. "Mom, why didn't you tell them that I am not your biological child? So they would understand that I am born by normal humans it self?", I asked.

She just looked at me. Her eyes slowly got filled in with a little pool of tears. I felt bad for saying that. I didn't mean to hurt her, I just wanted to help her.

I kept my hand on the back of her hand and apologised, " I'm sorry mom, you know I love you, I just wanted to help. I thought maybe if you would tell them about it then they would trouble you anymore..", I said getting sad about the fact that I hurt her.

"No, no! You're right baby but there's some other story to this. Your parents- your r-real parents- uh- they were- they were nice but they- they w-were werewolves too. B-but the trait did not get passed on to you, I don't know how and t-thats the reason they feel you're a w-werewolf...", she said looking down at her plate.
