Chapter 11

I sighed " so you had to tell them. How's Della? How long have I been out?" I asked sam curiously

"Two days. And.. Della is doing fine" she said.

"My wound, it's healing fast. I mean I'm not a werewolf yet. There's just the scar left which I wonder how" I said remembering how I saw it earlier but couldn't understand how it healed so quick.

Sam turned me around and pulled my shirt up and gasped "wow, it's really healing quick."

" When are you turning 18? She asked after thinking for a while.

I observed her face then said " this month"

"Oh.. maybe because you're going to shift. Your body has started to show changes. But this is too fast" she kept wondering, her brows furrowed as if in deep thoughts.

" and how did I end up in alpha's room?" I glared at her.

She raised her both hands to surrender " I tried to stop them, but the alpha was too adamant. He didn't listen to me or anyone for the fact. He was way too acting as if you were his.. I mean.. I don't mean anything" she rambled.

I huffed annoyed thinking about two days in his room, why would he just let me stay..he was mean to us from the start from imprisoning us to the punishment. I closed my eyes at the thought of the whip. But where did he sleep if I was on his bed I suddenly snapped open my eyes and saw Sam curiously looking at me?

" what's wrong? " she asked sitting a little closer.

" Nothing..just thinking about everything that happened," I said dodging away my worries.

"Look, I'm sorry what happened. But why did you do that angel? You could have been seriously injured. You are not a werewolf yet" she said almost tearing up

"Shh...I'm fine already." I said wiping away the tear on her cheek " I didn't wanna lose any more of my family. I already had enough, everyone trying to save my ass."

" I can't lose you too Angel. I never would've forgiven myself if anything happened to you."

I gave her a weak smile and hugged her after all she had been with me ever since that day after the attack.

For the next two hours, we spent talking, knowing each other more. I learned that she had a younger sister Joe, her father was at the border during the attack and about her mother she don't know anything since that day. I didn't know if I could say everything about myself to her.

We were pulled out of our world when there was a knock on our door.

"Lunch is up. Alpha wants everyone to be there" Nina said.

"Okay. Let's go " Sam said pulling my hand while getting up. Looking at my hesitant state she furrowed her brows and looked at me " what's wrong"

" I don't know Sam. Whether we can trust them. I mean--"

" I understand what you feel, but angel trust me they treated us like that because there was a threat on their pack. And this is the safest pack we can be."

I pulled my brows up and looked at her, couldn't believe what she just said.

Understanding my look she continued " yesterday, beta and some of the men from the blood moon pack came by looking for you Angel." I gasped shocked, she held my hands reassuring " don't worry, I thought they would rat us out but they didn't ."

" besides if your parents wanted you to come here, there must a reason."

She said while we walked into a big dining hall.

I was awed the moment I got into the hall, it was very spacious with the tables arranged parallel to each other and pack members sitting on either side at the end of the room facing everyone was a huge table and in the middle sat Alpha and beside him, Chris and some of the elder's with their mates and some of the seats were empty, especially beside Alpha and Chris. I felt relieved, I rolled my eyes why should I be. As soon as we stepped closer into the room there was a silence and everyone turned and looked our way or more towards me. Most of them had a sympathetic look.

" oh-oh...I kind of feel nauseated" I said looking down at the floor.

"It's because you were out for two long days." she said rolling her eyes playfully "and since then you were the talk of this place."

As we walked further into the hall, Della raised her hand and waved at us sitting around with some girls around our age. 

" hey. how are you doing?" Della asked pulling me into a hug,

" doing absolutely fine and what about you," I said hugging her back.

" good. Angel this is Anna, Sarah. And guys this is Angel as you all know." Della said grinning.

" yeah! We already met this morning" Sarah said, " I'm sorry I had to leave soon, I was mind linked that Alpha was coming." I smiled at her nodding it was fine.

After having a small chat with the newfound people around me, I was starting to feel more like being in a pack rather than being treated as a rogue and running for my life to constantly look back if someone is following me. That's when the room suddenly went quiet once again, everyone stopped eating and stood up showing respect, I was pulled to stand by Sam. Seeing my confused face she giggled " they are the Ancients.."

" Ancients?? Who are they?"

" The Ancients are true vampires. Just like we have Elders they are called Ancients. They do help in taking decisions, punishment and blah blah.. all other things related to vampires." Sam filled me.

I was dumbstruck this pack had vampires too I looked around that's when I noticed there were people around us who looked pale with bloodshot eyes drinking red liquid. I cringed at the thought that it was blood. But what I didn't understand was how?

after everyone settled down we were asked to start eating. Sam informed me that we were granted permission to continue my studies here, I sighed that was a relief I could take my mind off everything that happened in my life in the past few days.

As I started eating I could feel something burning in the back of my head, I was tempted to turn and look back. For the first few times, I ignored the sweet burn, which was making me bothered for some unknown reason. The sweet burn then slowly started spreading all over my body starting from the head lingering on my scar and then going down which made my toes curl and suddenly the room temperature flared up making me hot and flushed. I turned to look at what it was and then searched the room from where this was coming. I narrowed my eyes when his lips turned to a smirk…
