The Alpha's Unwanted Guilt | DISCONTINUED

2.03 | inner demons

"Sooner or later these demons will gain control,
Whenever, they see weakness from within your soul.
These demons will test you at every turn,
Wishing you to welcome them, Damning you to burn.
Don't say anything and just look away,
Block out their voices, only then,
Can you start to make the right choices."

-Rosalita-

"Hey wait!" Said a voice behind me and I suddenly halted at stop.

I was too panicked to sense that voice but the hair at the back of my neck stood up.

Holy hell, he caught me, didn't he? What will do now? Reject me? Humiliate me? I don't want to know.

Closing my eyes tightly, I mustered some courage and turned around. I opened them back again to see and unexpected person standing in front of me, breathing heavily, bending down with their hands on their knees.

"Why are you....running...so fast," Olivia said in between her breathes. She must have been out of breathe because of the little sprint we had there.

I don't think she realises how much relief she has given me. In fact I don't think I've been this happy to see someone.

Okay maybe that's a lie, but I was really happy.

"Oh thank God it's you!" I exclaimed, putting a hand over my furiously beating heart as I sat on the grass.

She gave me a confused look. "Of course, who else would it be? I guess you didn't notice but I was walking behind you after the class. You suddenly stopped halfway to your locker and then out of nowhere, you started running towards the exit like your arse was on fire."

I would have probably chuckled at the way she said it. But the weight of having found Reece as my mate lay heavy on me. I wasn't sure if I should laugh for my escape or cry for my fate.

I waited years for someone just to run away from them the moment I found them.

"-I got worried, so I ran after you," Olivia continued on with her story, unaware of the storm that was brewing inside me.

"Are you okay, though? What happened back there?" She asked me, looking up as she used her hand to shield her eyes from the scorching sun.

I didn't say anything. I didn't know what to say.

I was questioning my decision at the moment. I ran away, alright. But did I do the right thing? Do I intend to run away like this every time I see him? Do I want to reject him?

Can I even do that? I haven't even talked to him once. I can't reject him without knowing him. Maybe he is a nice mate. Maybe Olivia is wrong and she is also falling for the lies society made up.

I was falling into the beautiful lies and hopes I was making up in my mind when the picture of him kissing that girl Cindy was thrown at me by my conscious.

It was like a slap on the face.

The moment that I 'met' my mate, he was kissing someone else.

Wow. Such a lovely beginning of a love story.

I took a deep breath, as I came to the conclusion. I am not certain if Reece is as bad as everyone thinks he is, but one thing is for sure- and that is that I am not ready to face him yet.

"Olivia?"

"Hm?"

"What if a tell you that I'm Reece's mate?"
