Why Me?

Chapter 13

{Athena}

I felt time stand still as Lina left the arms of Kaiser and moved towards Griffin. I tried to convey with eyes how much this was hurting me to my mate, but it was as if I wasn't even there.

I watched as she walked right into Griffin's open arms and as he embraced her I had to turn away. It would kill me to stay there....or I would kill Lina.

I walked around towards the back of the pack house and let myself in the back door that led me through the corridors belonging to the older wolves. I didn't realize I was crying until an elderly she wolf came and wrapped her arms around me.

She reminded me of my grandmother and I couldn't help but cry harder. She whispered soothing words to me, and I could have sworn she was whispering about stupid insensitive males. Holding me tight she rocked me until I calmed down.

Once my eyes quit raining and I got my bearings I realized that the elderly woman was no other than my mates grandmother. She was staring at me with kind eyes full of sympathy. Then she spoke in a warm caring voice full of exasperation.

"What did my grandson do?"

{Mary}

I listened to my poor granddaughter-in-law share what had happened and by the time she was done I was ready to box Griffins ears. How dare he allow Lina such liberty, especially when he had found his mate!

         Lina was a sweet wolf back in the day as I remember. I never agreed with Griffin dating someone who wasn't his mate but back then I had to admit that Lina was alright. When Lina found her mate they of course broke up, as Lina's mate was another alpha and neither pack wanted to go to war.

         Even though they had dated for a good year, Griffin wasn't heartbroken as I recall, he in fact seemed elated for Lina.

        Looking back at Athena I can't help but feel sympathy for her. No she wolf wants their mate embraced by another, especially an ex girlfriend. I remember when my Percy's ex lover Kat came. Oh I was furious especially when she and Percy went off by themselves on patrol. I always imagined the worst and many times I hid in the pantry balling my eyes out, thinking I was going to be rejected.

         I pray that Athena doesn't have to endure what I endured all those years ago......

              I stayed with Mary for a couple of hours, she made us tea and helped me forget about my situation with my mate. Too soon I looked at the clock and realized I needed to get ready for dinner.

        I couldn't help but sigh as I remembered that it was going to be a giant pack meal in celebration of the betas sister.

         Walking back to Griffin and I's house I couldn't help but wonder if he even noticed I was gone. I walked in and was immediately greeted with the sound of laughter. I walked quietly in and peaked into the living room and what I saw had my heart breaking a little more.

        On the couch sat my mate and Lina, laughing and seeming not to have a care in the world. As they sat close to one another I couldn't help but notice what a perfect couple they made. Griffin with his striking green eyes and Lina with her icey blue eyes, that were bluer than the sky itself.

       They looked like the golden couple, like a true alpha couple. I hurried to my mate and I's room before they could see me. I gathered my belongings and carried them to the guest bedroom across the hall, and then laid down on the bed and wept.

             After I had a good cry I decided that I needed to put my chin up and face my problem instead of sitting in here weeping like my life was over. 

       I quickly rummaged through my clothing and found the perfect dress. It was a sleek, form fitting, black dress  with a slit going up my right leg. The slit was low enough to cover my undergarments but high enough that everyone there would get a good view of my leg. I made sure to pair it with some  killer silver heels that I had been saving for a special occasion or aka a fashion emergency!

      I managed to do a stunning smokey eye in just a matter of minutes. After glancing at myself in the mirror I had to say I looked damn good!

         Watch out ice queen, because Cinderella is here is ready to play.

 
      {Unknown}

           Tonight something was going to happen, something big. Tonight innocent was going to meet experienced. An old flame will meet a new flame. Jealousy will cause the most beautiful flower to wilt. And I couldn't wait to watch from the sideline. I have always been on the sideline but soon I will be right in front. And once I am there no one will stop me.

       {Authors note}

             Hey guys another early chapter! What do you think? Will Cinderella have her happily ever after or will the ice queen freeze her and her dreams? And who is this unknown person on the side lines and is he right? And if so how will the night unfold?  My next update should be this weekend or the beginning of next week.
