49 - Move On

It's getting intense now. I'm beyond excited!

I slowly treaded through the snow. My four feet were freezing from the crunching cold, but I barely cared. My heart hurt and I felt terrible. I felt like someone had repeatedly smacked me in the head with a brick and I felt like I could drop dead.

I looked up as I heard voices. There were people walking around tending to their morning routines and duties. I noticed Alfie walking with a group of warriors and even Kade, Lila and Brayleigh by Lila's cabin. I wasn't in the mood for talking.

I lowered my head as I walked. My fur was damp from the cold of the night before. I was cold and I needed a hot bath immediately.

"Hey! Ali!" The moment I heard Lucas, I turned sour. I didn't want to talk to anyone.

I looked up and snapped my teeth at him as he bounded towards me. He stopped in his tracks and watched me pass him. I knew I would need to apologise later, and I would.

I headed into the house, the door already open from where Ezra and Jenny were standing on the front porch. They watched me head inside where I shifted back into my skin and walked down the hallway and into the bathroom.

I shut the door and ran the bath hot. I jumped in and watched the bath fill.

I sighed and shook my head. I was upset about a number of things and it was overwhelming my brain. I had a throbbing headache and every part of me ached.

I was upset about Henry killing Benny. Did he seriously see a five year old as a threat? Did he think that a little kid could come through the pack and cause trouble? All we had to do was direct him back where he came from and then send him away.

He was just a kid.

I was upset about Liam. He had really hurt me. First, he lied to me about Veronica. How could he do that to me? What had I done to him for him to lie to me? Did he want to spend time with Veronica? Did he lie to me so he could be with her?

My brain hurt thinking about Liam wanting to spend time with Veronica over me. I thought back to our time up north with his family. He told me I was the only one he wanted.

I was beginning to doubt it.

Then, the night before... How did Liam not stick up for me? I had males handling me aggressively, I had an Alpha threatening me and calling me names, and I couldn't didn't do a single thing. Did he not care? Did he think it was okay what Henry was doing to me?

I rubbed my head and sank deeper into the bath as the water filled. It was hot and burned my skin, but it soothed my sore bones and helped my throbbing headache.

I sat in the bath for hours, thinking. The bath was cold by the time I finally got out and drained it. I wrapped a towel around myself and left the bathroom. I headed down to my bedroom where I smelt Liam. He had been in here more than recently.

I rolled my eyes and put on some clothes. I shivered in the cold and shook my head as I reached for Liam's hoodie that laid on my bed. I hesitated and then moved for one of my own hoodies instead.

Liam was in the cabin. I could feel that he was here. But I hope he knew that I had absolutely no intention of talking to him. My beast whined at me. She felt like a sad and lost puppy.

I felt betrayed.

I left my room and headed in the direction of the kitchen. My belly rumbled and I regretted having not eaten more soup the night before.
