The Spurned Heir

13

"Hazel, stop making those noises...please, I mean I'm sorry, stop crying, I...I..."

My lips were just quivering, I kept looking around praying no one hears the cry but it was impossible.

"Who made my daughter cry this early morning?" I heard the voice of Dolph my father and that was when I knew I'm done for today, I'm finished already, I regret ever touching her, it was just anger and I hate myself for getting angry, I should have allowed her to hit me as she like, but it was so hard.

Immediately she heard the voice of the father, she increased her scream and even held her belly and legs.

"What happened to you???...

"Layla, what did you do to her?" Dolph, my ex-father, asked helping her up from the floor.

I opened my mouth to explain it all but she overtook me, "Dad, she pounced on me because I begged her to help me arrange my room" she sniffed crying more.

I was dumbed wondering when she begged me that and when the hell did I pounce on her like was this her plans?. Dad turned to me with fury in his eyes, there was a pure rage in there and his fist was clenched already.

"How dare you?"he growled deeply with those deadly look, I opened my mouth to talk but fear won't allow me. He walked closer to me with a menacing look making me move back in fright, I don't just know why life was getting worse. With a great speed like lightning, he grabbed my neck and pinned me to the wall tightly that I found it hard to breathe.

"You can't kill anyone here and go scot-free, tell your demon clan that they have failed!!!", He thundered and raised me from the ground with his grip on my neck, I couldn't only shake in an attempt to free myself which was impossible. He hit my back to the wall hard and pushed me to the ground with much force that almost broke my bone, I shrieked in pain but he wasn't seeing that, his hatred for me was too raw and deep into his heart.

"Dad, I want to slap her back..." Hazel whined and dad paused his attempt to hit me again, "Okay honey..." He smiled at her then made gestures to the guards. I was held up straight facing Hazel, my cheek was set for her and she really slapped me, it was just three but I felt more hurt than dad's beating. Each of her slaps sends rage through me, I felt useless, I felt like a piece of trash to her.

"Now do as I had ordered!" She huffed and I nodded after seeing dad's glare. I dare not decline this time. I quickly did the cleaning while she laughed and pointed at many places for me to clean. Sometimes she would bring me back to where I had already cleaned, all I could do was sigh and hiss...

Just as I wiped the cupboard, I saw a pile of pictures in a book that looked like her diary, she had left the room to take her bath then. I opened the diary and began to read, "I can't wait to meet my future mate in school today, look how handsome he is..!".

I read an inscription on the first page of the dairy, "Was she crushing on someone already??" I giggled and curiously flipped the other page to see this crush of hers. 'What!!!!" I gasped in shock. There and then in the dairy, I saw his picture.... I stared at the picture with my mouth agape, I couldn't just believe it and for some second I thought it was a mere illusion. She just mentioned he is her crush and now I expected to see someone else, I expect to see a random man who caught her heart only to see the last person she thought it could be, this left her weak.

*************

She couldn't do anything, her heart was heavy now and she felt like crying. It was the last thing she wanted in life. She glanced at the picture again and saw him. The man was the same that had caught her heart, at first sight, the very man she believed could be her mate, this was that same man who had believed her when everyone doubted her words, she had mind linked with him and saw the pity he got for her.

Why then is he the same man Hazel said is her crush?. She had his picture all over the pages of her diary with descriptions of love. There were drawing of heart and love.

**********

Gosh! I hissed loudly and flung the book back into the drawer, sadness covered my heart, I knew what would happen next, I know how dangerous this would be, everyone was going to hate me more for taking her first love away, I don't just understand why I'm always unfortunate.

Hazel and everyone was going to treat me more cruelly if they find out I'm his mate meaning that Hazel has no chance, I shrugged and went on with cleaning but then I couldn't concentrate, I was worried that they will meet in school. The school was the best and was built only for the rich, even if I am allowed to go to school, it will never be that school, I'm not worth getting close to the gate, I don't know but I'm getting jealous that Hazel would be meeting him. I haven't been able to talk to him face to face, I haven't got the chance to touch him, we haven't spent time together and now someone else was going to do that before me. Hazel is the desperate type and is afraid they will meet, what if someway somehow he likes her?.

She looks more beautiful and sophisticated than me, she is equally his clan, both have their father as an Alpha.

"What are you doing there?" I heard her voice from behind and flinched back to reality realizing that I had been sitting on her bed lost in thought... I sprang up and picked the broom, I was already done cleaning the room. "I'm sorry!" I breathed with my head bow, without waiting for any word from her, I scurried out.

"While I left I'm sure you stole something..." She accused making me sneer at her, she looked so little rejected and hated, beating her wouldn't take me three seconds, she looked so fragile and small yet she was yelling at me.

"I stole nothing little girl, I'm done with cleaning your room, let me go!" I gruffed and she chuckled.

"Not so soon, guards!!!" She called out and I felt the great urge to slap her, I swear, I don't know how possible it was that I didn't slap her.

Three guards barged in, "Strip her up and search her whole body, she stole something everyone!

Those tiny voices making me laugh, what was she thinking?

"Don't you dare to touch me!" I growled at the men who turned to me like were they going to do what she said?

"Do as I say now!" She thundered and the men walked close making me clench my fist, I am aware they are men, I'm aware they got the muscles, but I am going to fight with all I get and I vow to kill one of them before they succeed in striping me in front of this little girl who should be calling me her aunty.

One of the men charged at me and gripped my gown and made to tear it when I sent two quick punch to his face, he fell immediately motionless causing the others to shudder in shock as they stare with mouth agape. I was also shocked seeing the force of my blow, I could see his tooth on the floor while blood flow freely. He was gasping for breath as he would die, I knew I'm in for more trouble but at least I escaped being disgraced.

"This is what you all will get any time you dare to touch me!" I howled in anger kicking the guard on the ground as I walked out.

"Come and give me back what you stole you, thief!" Hazel yelled at me making me roll my eyes at her, I wish I can beat her. I hate her so much now not just because of the order she gave the guard but because she has my mate as her crush. When dad hears this, he would hate me the more, when she meets him, she might charm with those tricks. This girl can do anything out of desperation just to get what she wants.

"Guards get her here!!!!" She thundered but none of them dared, they only bent to help the one baffling for his life on the ground. I was so enraged and got such a power, the blow wasn't normal. I felt strange when punching him, it was an unusual feeling.

I sighed and head to my room, my mind flashed at the question Anna the witch asked me. She had seen my white fur and asked if I got powers, was she talking about these powers I'm experiencing now because a teen werewolf like me can never bring down a hefty bodyguard with just a blow.

"Layla, you are a hybrid I swear, but your powers are yet to spurge out!.." My inner wolf spoke out and I smiled.

"It would be nice right?...at least no one will bully us again, with those power, we will make them crawl on their feet" I smirked and she laughed happily too.
