novelxo Chapter Chapter No 19 Heart Wrecking Song
“Are you okay? Althea, what happened?” He asked her while patting her head. She was crying.
“I promised you that I won’t ask about your past, but today I want to know what it is. Althea, I have been watching you cry secretly for a year, what is it? Please say it,” he asked softly.
She nodded in no. But then suddenly Lilly took control.
“She won’t tell you, I will tell you everything, I am now frustrated, Althea does not know how to claim what’s hers’, in fact, she always behaves like some good girl for whom everyone is good and caring,″ said Lilly angrily.
``Whoa, Whoa, Lilly, hold your horse, what’s wrong? Have you guys fought?″ He asked, shocked.
“No, it’s not like we fight, I should have told you before,″ she said, exhausted.
The wind was blowing around them, it was the beginning of Autumn. The Leaves were cracking down under their feet.
The weather looked sad and nature was all sunk into unknown sadness but Lilly was sadder than any other thing around. She turned towards the bridge while speaking, she did not want to face him.
“You are telling me that the guy who was standing at the gate with that noodle red-haired was your mate and he is rejecting you?” He said angrily.
He looked into her eyes.
“But why? You are perfect,” he said in a trance. Lilly looked at him in shock.
“Don’t tell me you got a crush on us” she said while looking inside his eyes. In contrast to Althea, she was more bolder.
He looked into her beautiful eyes for a while and then he looked away.
“Let’s go home, let’s see what your mate is doing with that noodlehead,” he said smiling, and got inside the car.
“When I saw her first I had a wish that she could be mine,” he said in a whisper while looking outside.
“But a few months back when I turned 18 I found out that we are not mates″ he thought expressionlessly.
She got inside the car.
“I question myself whether I am mated?” She said exhausted.
“Yeah, a mate who is like no mate at all,” he said while looking into her eyes.
Lilly looked away.
“I thought when I find my mate at least he won’t reject me for what I am, he will support me for being different, when Abigail had taunted me for being rejected, I still don’t know how she found out, I was so much angry that I almost killed her″ she said sadly.
“Anyhow I want to meet this mate of yours,” he said while winking at her.
His phone rang and he grabbed the phone from the back seat answering the call he looked at Althea Lilly was still in control.
“Yeah, Julius?” He said.
“Yeah I am back, what is it today? Okay, I will tell Althea and the others” he said and hung up the phone.
“My brother, despite being able to mind-ink us but still uses the phone,” he said, chuckling.
“What is it?” Lilly asked.
“He said there is a party in the evening for His Highness, your mate,” he said sarcastically.
Lilly rolled her eyes and gave control to Althea.
“For fuckin’ sake Lilly don’t block me again like this,” she said angrily but Lilly had blocked her already.
“Seems like your wolf is angry over you,” he said.
“She wants me to fight for my supposed mate,” she said while rolling her eyes.
“There is a welcome party for your mate,” he said.
“Stop calling that, I did not tell this to anyone except Wanda and Alex,” she said, shushing him.
“I want to meet him,” he said expressionlessly.
Althea looked at him from up to down.
“What?” He asked.
“Well, hope you like it,” she said and looked out of the window.
She was getting ready for the evening despite not wanting to go. Wanda entered her room.
“Althea could you…” she left her sentence in the middle; she was shockingly looking at Althea
.
“You got to be kidding me,” she said while looking at her from up to down.
“What?” She asked.
“Your dress,” said Wanda while pointing at her.
She was wearing a long black turtle neck gown with black gloves and black heels.
“Are you going to the funeral?” She asked while crossing her arms around her chest.
Althea looked at her in disappointment. The door opened and Alex came in.
“Wanda, could you tell me what I should wear this white or Silver?” He had two Three-piece suits, slivers, and white.
Wanda looked at both and pointed at the left one “Silver is the best” she said.
“Thanks,” he said and he was about to turn when he looked at Althea who was looking at Wanda in disappointment.
“Althea?” He called out.
She turned her eyes on him.
“Who died?” He asked with concern.
Her expression changed, she grabbed a pillow and was about to hit him when he ran.
“See? It is a funeral dress” Wanda said, exhausted.
“Let’s go,” she grabbed her hand and took her with her.
She opened her wardrobe and there were so many clothes. Wanda was a shopaholic; she buys every new collection of clothes. Mostly she never wore it.
She took out a violet dress. It was a very beautiful cross-back dress.
“Here, this will look so beautiful on you, exactly like your eyes,” she said, smiling.
“Thanks, Wanda but trust me I am not really in the mood,” she said exhausted.
“You are a pack member and your stupid ex-member who call herself Luna and your idiotic mate is here and I don’t want them to look down upon our beautiful pack member,” she said dramatically.
“Especially that false Luna, I hate her, I doubted since I met her that she could not be a Luna, and look how right I was. My favorite person is this Luna,” she said while hugging.
“Thanks, Wanda,” Althea said while hugging her back.
“Now get ready and look so hot that he will regret his choice,” she said while winking at her, Althea smiled in return.
Wanda’s door knocked. “Come in” she called out.
It was Mateo.
“What brings you here after years brother,” she said mischievously.
“Got news about the party”, he said.
“Go on, I am interested,” she said.
‘There would be a royal dance since Tyler is Royalty and they said un-mated wolves have to find their partners for the dance’, he said.
Wanda rolled her eyes.
“He is royalty, not us. Now, from where I will get the damn mate?” She said annoyed.
“Alex, yeah, I am going to grab him much better,” she said happily.
Mateo was about to say something when his eyes stopped on Althea.
“Ah Althea, What on the earth are you wearing? Please don’t tell me you are going like this?” He said shocked.
Wanda laughed.
“Brother, problem solved,” she said and ran out of the room to get Alex.
“Althea, you also need a dance partner. If you don’t mind, could you be my partner?” He asked hesitantly.
“Yeah sure,” she said, smiling. He smiled in return.
“So where is the party arranged?” She asked.
“In the nearby woods,” he said.
She wore that beautiful dress; She looked at herself in the mirror. Since she was training her body became Athletic.
The dress looked so beautiful over her. Her long hair was reaching to her knees. The curls look so beautiful going down through her chest and stomach.
She took a deep breath and mind-linked Mateo.
“Mateo, I am ready, where are you?”
“Just on the way to get you,” he said.
After five minutes she heard a knock on her door. She opened it.
He was wearing a White three-piece with a black dress shirt. He looked so gorgeous.
“Whoa Mateo, you look hot,” said Lilly, who took over.
“Thanks, Lilly,” he said, smiling. They were walking by the nearby door.
They crossed the hallway, and unknown to them someone heard them. Someone whose eyes were turning red due to anger.
They reach the woods after a while. Every pack member was there. Un-mated wolves made pairs with each other. Alex and Wanda were arguing over something as usual. They walked towards them.
“What happened now? Why do you guys always fight?” Asked Mateo.
“He said my hair is looking like a tomato plant,” she said annoyed.
“Well I am telling the truth,” said Alex angrily.
“Will you guys shut up for tonight at least, you guys want to be famous by creating a fighting mess?” said Mateo.
“Ask him to say sorry,” she said.
“I will screw the tree instead,” Alex said while looking away.
Althea rolled her eyes.
Then they heard the crowd murmuring. It was Alpha Julius and Grace who entered the wood and later Tyler and Julia.
Julia was holding Tyler’s arm making Althea and Lilly furious. Her wolf growled. Mateo puts his hand over her shoulder.
“It’s okay to take a deep breath,” he said softly.
She looked at the place where Tyler was standing, he was so perfect. She gives him a sigh.
“I know you are hurt, Althea,” said Alex sadly.
“But you have to be strong,” said Wanda.
She took a deep breath.
“Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for such wonderful hospitality, we came here so that we can make peace and good allegiance with our fellow pack and friends. I and my Luna and our pack will always be loyal to you,” said Tyler.
Althea felt a strange pain when he said “My Luna”.
He gave the microphone to Julius.
“It is an honor to welcome our fellow Alpha to our pack and enjoy the event,” he said and put the microphone down. He walks beside Grace to the ground and they start dancing followed by Tyler and the other wolves.
Althea walked slowly toward the place where the microphone was held.
She asked the musicians who happen to be her pack friend for the required music.
The music starts, it was an 80s song music So far away by Shandi Sinnamon.
I’ll always love you, I’ll always be true
To the Love we promised, we’d always hold on to
Those were the days when we were wild and free
I’ll never forget them, nothing’s changed in me
She was singing in a very deep and beautiful voice that everyone in the woods turned to look at who was singing.
There was a specific pain in her voice that melted everyone’s heart.
I remember your eyes
I remember your style
I remember those nights
I remember your smile
I wish I could see you here today
How can it feel so real
So far away
Tyler, who was dancing with Julia, stops and looks. Julia was holding his hand and there was an evil smile on her face.
I wish I could see you here today
How can it feel so real?
So far away
I wish I could see you here today
How can it feel so real?
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
You are so far away
“Lilly,” said Wanda.
“It’s Lilly she singing the last line,” said Alex.
Mateo was staring at her.
Her last singing sentence voice was so full of sorrow that it echoed in the woods.
“Look, it’s her wolf singing the last chorus, Oh my God I never have seen such talent,” said a pack member.
She turned there was a tear in her eyes, it was Lilly. She left the woods while walking down slowly. Tyler was staring at her back.
She had gone inside her room, it was already the middle of the night, and she had not faced anyone after her song. She wanted to live alone for a while. She locked her door and went to her bed, lay down, and was thinking about the evening.
“Lilly, you sang so well,” she said.
“It was all pain which made it so well,” said Lilly.
Althea smiled bitterly.
“Lilly we have to live without him, we have to accept it,” she said.
She closed her eyes, and after five to 10 minutes she heard the door knock.
“Who is it in the middle of the night” she muttered.
“I don’t want to see anyone at this time,” said Lilly.
“Yeah me too,” she said annoyed.
“But who cares what we think,” said Lilly angrily.
She got up, she was feeling so exhausted.
She walked towards her door and opened it.
“Listen I don’t want to hear anything……” she was scolding someone without looking at them, but when she looked up, it was her horror, shock, and terror, everything was standing in front of her.
