DAVINA
In the blink of an eye, I had flown over the school’s fence, however, the ruckus I left behind was still in motion.
But then, I had escaped, and this rebellion inside of , coupled with my newfound strength, was starting to leave .
The next second, I tumbled. My body staggered by the deserted road, and I had to sit at a nearby seat, burning hot from the morning sun.
I was suddenly weak, with my throat burning with an intense thirst, and at the back of my mind, a voice kept ringing in my head.
That sa voice that had let hate myself for years, "You just made a mistake. What will you do when the Alpha arrives? The brothers are not here to protect you anymore."
And then another clashed, for the first ti, "You did what was right! Do you not like the strength you possessed?"
"Your outburst was long overdue."
Yes, it was! I agreed.
The fear in Aria’s eyes was delightful, and having to trick those n who had punished was a thrill I never thought I would have. Maybe it was ti to stop being an obedient and pitiful girl.
At that mont, my phone rang out, and as I took it out of my backpack almost imdiately, my heart sank.
It was my mother calling.
I realized she must have heard about my rebellious stunt at school. Did she suddenly recall she left a daughter all alone without care?
I kept looking at the phone flashing, and my lips curled into a wide smile. However, it wasn’t happiness, it was rage.
I threw the phone straight into my bag, shooting up to my feet and going straight for the Packhouse. Sohow, I knew she would co running to and finally appear after disappearing for days.
However, my phone continued to ring. She didn’t stop calling, as if she cared. And for the long minutes I walked back ho, I didn’t bother picking it up.
As soon as I walked past the gates and the maid stepped out to see , she gasped.
"What the hell are you doing back ho?" She scread.
"Nothing." I shrugged. "I just want to stay away from school today."
As I walked past her, I saw the anger in her eyes, and I knew she wasn’t about to let go. Her hands caught my clothes the next second, and she pulled back with so much force.
"What have you done at school, you little brat?"
I gasped, realizing she must have heard what I had done.
"So, are you going to beat up?" I raised my brow. "I am sure you have reported to the Alpha."
"Or did he inform you?"
"Of course!" She nodded, with a huff from deep within her throat. "You fucking don’t know what you have gotten yourself into."
"And ...?" She pointed at herself with her eyes clouding with tears, "I am going to be punished because of your stupid actions."
My brows creased, "What do you an? This is about , not you..."
"Yeah right..." She sneered before dashing past and I slowly realized what I had done.
"You fucking bastards can’t even sit in a place!"
The maid had been put in charge of my affairs and I had just caused trouble. I couldn’t imagine one more person being punished for my sake.
Quickly I pulled out my phone, desperately tapping on it to call my mom to explain but the call went straight to voicemail.
At the sa ti, Ethan’s call ca through and I froze for a mont. I watched the phone ring and when Shawn’s ssage ca in a minute later, my stomach dipped as my eyes brimd with tears.
The pain I felt earlier had turned into rage toward Aria but now it was fresh and stabbing. My chest heaved as I stord to my room.
Uriel’s ssage ca in next, "Please, can you pick up the phone?"
I threw my backpack to the floor, and I quickly took out the keys to my mother’s house. Of course, Ethan would be waiting on to give him the keys and I wondered if they knew I was back ho.
As I stood before my window, seeing the guards patrolling around so heavily today, I knew deep down a purge was coming.
Whether the Alpha was going to get his sons out of the Packs and they would turn the lands into a battlefield or not, I knew my mother and I had our fight incoming too.
A few minutes later, Ethan’s call ca through again and I slowly connected it.
I pursed my lips, only listening to his heavy breaths as he spoke up, "Hello, Vina! Are you there?"
I took a deep breath, eyes closing slightly, "Do you want the keys?"
"No..." He let out a harsh breath. "Get out of that house, right now!"
"What?" I gasped. "Didn’t you want to stay?"
"Yes..." His voice went low with rage curling within, "But you have fucking caused trouble!"
"This is not safe for you anymore. The Alpha will appear anyti soon and you have disrupted every single thing we planned."
His rage-filled voice caused my heart to tighten. Ethan had not spoken this way to in a long while and it was because of that damned Aria.
My fists clenched, "Are you blaming ?"
"No one is—"
"Oh, yes you are! I saw Shawn’s gift and the fucking note you all sent her. I destroyed your fun love story in the blink of an eye and you dare yell at ?"
"Davina, listen. You have to calm down."
"No!" I hissed. "Go be with her, and let the Alpha do his worst! I do not care anymore!"
Beep!
The call ended and the next second, I threw the phone at the wall.
Clank!
It split into the different parts that couldn’t even be put together and slowly I slipped to the floor, finally letting my tears flow freely.
What had I done? I felt liberated today after cursing in Aria’s face and ignoring my mother, and yet, it wasn’t enough?
