The Beta's Unwanted Mate ONE-SHOT✔

Chapter 2🔱

~Days Later~

"How is it that I'm excited and nervous at the same time?" I ask Olivia. We were at her house and constructing my traveling bag. Tomorrow morning, I will be leaving with my family to go back to my pack. The Silver Skies pack.

I haven't seen them in the time I was kidnapped...

But they were cool.

"You'll be fine." She says, giving me a sad laugh. She was upset ever since she heard about me leaving. I was upset too, I felt like the both of us needed to be together. I dunno why, but something was telling me that when, and if we met again, it would be because something important was going on.

The problem is, what?

"No, but you don't understand!" I say. "I'm looking forward to school again, and meeting new people, but I'm afraid of the looks I'll get from the ones who know me and have seen me before. Also, I don't know what they'll think or if they'll pity me." I feel my voice about to crack so I take a deep breath before speaking again.

"I don't want them to pity me Olivia. I'm tired of seeing sympathetic eyes everywhere and people treating me like I'm made of glass and can shatter at anytime." I bite my lip. Despite all of the attention I've received after my mates loss, I'm alone without a doubt. I'm just mentally tired and I want to feel warm but It's so cold.

"You don't have to worry about anyone." She tells me. "If you think about others, you stop thinking about yourself. And that's the last thing you want right now." I nod and sigh. It's just really difficult, I'm usually worried about other people, but it will distract me from moving on and building a future for myself. I have big goals, and dreams I want to fulfill.

And though she isn't here, shes watching over me.

"Yeah, but I don't want to turn cold. I want to be happy on the inside and not feel like I'm numb. I just don't know. Sometimes I feel like I don't need anybody to be happy, and on other days I feel like what's life without people on it. It's like I'm in this state of confusion on whether I want to interact with a lot of people or not."

Even right now, I feel happy. Happy because I've found someone I could connect with. Even though she still has her mate, she is listening to me.

Everyone else just states their opinions and don't take in what I'm saying. In my head I'm like, you are listening to me... but do you really hear me? Do you only speak to me because you pity me? I hate that the most.

But with Olivia, I could tell she uses each other the words I say and piece a solution together. She actually hears me. Her mind isn't clouded with the pain I've been going through.

I'm really going to miss her when I go back home.

"Don't think too much." She says smiling at me, such a genuine smile that fills me with warmth. Lately I've been feeling so cold. "You'll be fine. Dont go in with a plan, just go with the flow and do things that you think are right and things that will make you and your parents proud. And most of all, please take care of yourself and be safe."

I smile at her. "I'll be, I promise."

We head downstairs and I go home after a huge hug and a goodbye.

~~~~~

I pack my stuff and look around the guest room I stayed in. Everything was packed, ready to go. I didn't actually have much, just a few clothes and essentials. I had only a suitcase and duffle bag. I didn't take me that long.

I jumped on the bed and sighed. Looking at the ceiling I was just waiting for something. To make things interesting, I pulled my headphones and played my new favorite song.

Losing Control by Russ. It's really good and about a girl who lost all of her faith in people. Then she finds someone who would restore it for her. I play the song and listen to the beautiful lyrics. And I wonder.

Who's going to save me?

When I finish the song, I notice its night time. For some reason, whenever something is about to happen it immediately becomes nighttime. Why is that? I walk over to the window and look at the moon.

It's nice out. The wind blows in my hair as I admire the beauty of the moon. Then I'm overwhelmed with the smell of the sea. It was salty yet calming. I looked in the direction of this packs beach and smiled. I had nothing else to do.

I walked downstairs and saw my parents. My dad was reading a newspaper and my mom was taking grapes from the fridge, as usual.

"Hey kid." My dad said, giving me a smile.

"Hello parent." I said, laughing.

"How are you?" He faces me now. He inspects my face quickly. I wonder if he was looking for any sign of bags from crying. I roll my eyes. I made a vow, Dad.

"I'm good. I was actually headed too the beach." I slip on my converse and put on my jean jacket. I catch my parents sneak looks at each other before turning to me.

"Have fun, Alissa. And be safe." My mother says. I open the door, but turn around to see them looking at me with looks of longing.

"I will." I say. "And please, I'm not a pup anymore, I'm an adult and just because I've lost my mate, doesn't make me weak. As parents you should comfort me...

Not belittle me."

And with that I walk out the door, leaving their mouths dropped onto the floor. I couldn't care less.

~~~~~

I walk onto the path. Faces of unrecognizable people come into view. They seem nice. They see me and give my smiles. Like when you pass by someone and accidentally make eye contact so you have to make a awkward smile.

Exhibit A.

I hated those. But I just carried on. Its dark out but there were street lamps. As I looked at my GPS it said I had to walk just beyond some trees. I looked out to see a little woods. Cute. I walked into it and began my journey.
