OLIVE I thought leaving the mountain pack for a while was the best option. Mom was beginning to suspect something was wrong. She was beginning to ask questions on when I would return to the fire pack and why Nolan had not visited me at all. I left the packhouse in a hurry so that mom won't have to ask me why I wanted to go to my uncle's pack. When I told dad about leaving, he only nodded his head but said nothing. I suspected something was going with my dad but just like the strong person he is, he hid it so well. It seems my mom did not notice too cause if she does, her reaction would have shown it. When I got to my uncle's pack, I tried as much as I can to put the past behind me and focus on the future. I sighed and dragged my bag slowly into the packhouse. My uncle and his wife were glad to have me. "Olivia, you've grown so big" my uncle's wife, Natasha said, hugging me "Good morning, aunt" "It's good to have you here, Olivia. Surprisingly, you ain't saying anything about being called Olivia. I thought you hated that name?" I chuckled. "I use to. But I guess I do love it now" She smiled. "That's good news. How is your mother?. And father?" "They are good. They send their regards" "Is that my beautiful niece?" my uncle said and I ran to hug him "Uncle. I missed you" "I missed you too. It's been like a year since I last saw you right?" I nodded. "Yes, it is". I looked around. "Where is Mary?. I haven't seen her around" "She went to see a friend" my aunt answered I sighed. "She would be coming back soon? Right?" She smiled. "Sure. If I let her know you're here. But before then, I should get you to your room" I nodded. "Thanks" I was shown to my room and was left to settle down. I lay down on the bed and closed my eyes. Let me get some rest before Mary shows up. ** "Wake up. Wake sleepyhead" someone said, dragging me off the bed. From the voice, I could tell it was Mary. I groaned. "Can't you see I'm sleeping?" She scoffed. "Sleeping?. You've been sleeping for the past four hours. Have you been skipping your sleep?. You slept like a log of wood and you were snoring so loud, I..." I batted my lashes. "I've been sleeping for four hours?. Are you even serious?" She nodded. "Of course. I thought you had passed out or something but when I heard you snore, I knew you were ok. Maybe you're just tired" I scoffed. "Why are you here?" She batted her lashes. "What?. Why am I here?. Don't you miss me?. Like, don't you..." "Look, I miss you. I miss you so much but the fact that you woke me up, makes me dislike you" "Y-you dislike me?" "Yes" "Are you been serious?". I nodded. "Just because I woke you up?". I nodded. "I just thought I should wake you up so we could go out. I did that because I miss you. I..." I busted into a series of laughter. "Hey, I was only joking. I did not mean it" "You did not?" "Of course, I did not. I was joking. Look at your face" "I thought you're serious. You almost gave me a heart attack" I chuckled. "Can I ever dislike you?. Can I?" She smiled and hugged. "I missed you" "I missed you too" "Ok. How about we go to the newest club across the road. I heard cute dudes visit there often" I scoffed. "Cute dudes?. Don't you have a mate yet?" She shrugged. "Well, I do. This is for you, though. Or do you have a mate yet?" I rolled my eyes. Do I have a mate?. I rejected Nolan, though he never accepted my rejection yet. I shrugged. "No, I don't" She giggled. "Good. Now, let's get you dressed up" "I am not going anywhere, ok?" "Hey, come on" "I thought you stopped clubbing after you met your mate?" "Of course. We are going for you, not me. Come on. Stand up and let's get you dressed up" I groaned. "I'm hungry. It's not even time to go to a club yet. It's just past six" She chuckled. "I thought it's past nine. Ok, you know what?. There is a restaurant some blocks away. Why don't we go there to eat?. Then when we get back we can get ready for you know" I scoffed. "I will go to the restaurant but for the club, no" "Olive, come on". She pouted her lips. "Olive" I groaned. "Ok. I will go with you but on one condition" "What condition again?" "You won't introduce me to any dude in, quote" I raised my hands a bit and bent my two index fingers. "Just a few dudes won't harm you". I frowned. "Ok, two?". I glared. "One?". I growled and she groaned. "Ok. None, ok?. I won't introduce you to any. Just stop growling already" I sighed. "I will go get ready" She scoffed. "Suit yourself, sis" "Whatever" I mumbled and walked into the bathroom ** How filled up a club always is and the loud music remains one of the reasons why I dislike coming to a club. And though this reason makes me dislike coming here, I still find some solace coming. I can drink away my sorrow and also dance it off. I sat down at the bar, watching Mary dance with some random dude. I scoffed. I thought she said we are here for me?. Why is she dancing with a dude when I should?. "You told her not to hook you up with anyone? Remember?" My subconscious mind said and I scoffed. Yes, I told her not to hook me up with anyone. But that's because I thought we could dance and drink together. And right now I feel so bored and I need someone to dance with. Not a male though, just her. I gulped down the last content in my glass cup and stood up to dance. I joined Mary on the stage. "Ain't you suppose to dance with me?" I asked yelling. The music was loud and I needed to yell for her to hear me. "I thought you don't want to dance?" I scoffed. "I don't want to dance?. Did I say that?" She shrugged. "Dance with me" I nodded. "Sure" I felt a hand, hold me from behind and I turned. The was a guy with emerald green eyes. I glared at him. "I'm so sorry, I couldn't resist your beauty" he smiled and I sighed. "Apology accepted" He smiled. "Can we grab a drink together?" "No. I'm sorry" "Then my apology has not been accepted" "Of course, it has" "Then grab a drink with me, please" Mary poked me. "Go have some fun, sis. You need it" I sighed. She's right. I do need it. I smiled. Just a glass" "Has your lordship, please" I smiled. "You seems nice" "Of course, I am" ** "Are you not going back to the first pack?" Mary asked, sitting beside me on the bed. I batted my lashes. Did she just say fire pack?. "Fire pack?. What do you mean?" She sighed. "Your mom told me you're mated to the alpha of the fire pack. Why do you lie about not having a mate?" I rolled my eyes. Though we are of the same age, she seems more girly than I am. "My mom told you that?" She nodded. "She did" I scoffed. "I am not going back. And please don't ask me why" "Do you guys have a fight or something?" I frowned. "Did I not tell you not to ask me why Mary?" "I did not ask you why, I am only suggesting why" I groaned and stood up. "I should not be having this conversation with you" She chuckled. "Do you love him and you got rejected by him?" I rolled my eyes and walked out. It's a bad idea coming here in the first place. "Hey, we are not done talking!!!" Mary yelled behind me. I realized she was running after me. I groaned and ran away. After a while, I stopped running cause I was tired. She hugged me from behind and I groaned. "Hey, you're suffocating me" She chuckled. "I'm so happy you came here. I missed you so much" I scoffed. "If you missed me as you claim, why didn't you visit me?" "I visited but I was told you went to the fire pack" "Why did you not visit me there?" "Well, I did not think of that" "You did not think about that? Huh?" "Come on, I'm sorry" I sighed and sat down on the bench. She sat down too. "When did you find out I am mated to the alpha of the fire pack?" "Your mom called. She was worried she had a fight with him and might not want to return there. She wants the best for you, Olive". I sighed. She wants the best for me but she doesn't know my reason for leaving. If she does, she will respect my decision. "Are you ok?" Mary asked I nodded. "I am"
