Serah POV
"But I remarked something. Why is no one talking about your dad?"
"What do you mean?"
Whatever she had to say, she needed to say it quickly and disappear.
"I only wanted to say that may be you could give your advice to your mother, that she should avoid opening her legs to stranger and may be you-"
I didn't let her finish that I already had her pinned to the wall. My hand gripped her neck, ready to be snapped in two.
She laughed as she could.
"Oh my, what's surfacing? Daddy issues or mommy issues?"
I knew my brain was not following, something inside of me wanted to break free. I tried to fight it but there was nothing more to do, my instinct took over.
I lost control.
My fingers clutched her neck knocking down the little oxygen left in her system. It wasn't enough. I moved my hand back and forth banging her skull against the hard material.
"You f*cking whore you are you to talk about my mother-"
Before she reached the land of the dead, Kam pulled me out of my fury and Cedric took Dina.
"Serah! Are you trying to kill her?!"
"Very much!"
The ruckus brought in a small audience all whispering between them. It wasn't hard to understand. I saw Cedric preparing to defend me but I motioned him not to with my head.
Kamil, angry at the situation, dragged me out of the scene.
We were outside, I didn't enjoy the fresh air that he got on my case.
"What were you thinking?"
"I wasn't."
He paced, trying to find the right words.
"You cannot pour your anger on someone carelessly?! Have you seen your eyes? They changed!! They glowed yellow, like my eldest described!!"
He saw that I wasn't understanding his latest statement.
"Like the day you protected my family, like this day. You looked like you could have slaughtered her!"
"How would you want me to keep cool when she was insulting my whole family?"
I could feel the tears rising to escape. As he saw, Kam stopped shouting at my face and calmed his talking pace.
"Serah, we heard everything. We all would have lost our mind but you should have broken her arms or something, not her neck."
I wasn't me,there. I was out and all I wanted was her gone.
"She's not dead anyway."
I sulked, not liking how she was getting away with her comportement.
"It's not about her well-being. It's about the image you are building as the futur luna. After this incident, many will question your legitimity as a ruller."
I didn't think about the consequences.
"Now, Serah, you have to explain your acts-"
"I have nothing to explain."
"You seem to forget that there are rules and you cannot assault innocent people and think there won't be any consequences."
I laughed, he was talking to the wrong person.
"That's the first thing I noticed when I was rotting in that cell. What a lawful pack."
Kam didn't appreciate my comeback but couldn't defend his pack.
"Whatever, we'll have to bury the Dina incident but we cannot overlook your body transformation. How did it happen? Did you feel different today?"
I reflected and thought about everything that happened, nothing much was relevant but something stood out.
"I started to feel nauseous when I entered the hospital wing as it reeked of Dina's smell."
I tried to search for something more helpful but Kam looked at me with eyes wide open. Did I look weird or something?
"Serah repeat that."
Didn't he hear the first time I said it?
"I was already feeling sick when I entered the hospital."
"Not that."
"What? It was what I said."
"That it reeked what?"
He asked again.
"Dina's scent."
What was he doing? He should be listening when someone's talking.
"Serah, you're not supposed to smell these subtil odors."
It was when I understood. Humans didn't have the ability to recognize one's scent. It was right under my nose but I didn't realise. This thing could have happened but I wouldn't have known.
Our conversation was cut short when a mad looking alpha approached us. He reached us and I could tell that he was giving Kam orders that I couldn't hear.
As expected the head guard left without a word. He cast one last glance worried about the situation.
"What were you thinking?"
He growled.
"I wasn't."
If I was thinking clearly, she'd be dead. My answer didn't seem to please him. It felt like seeing Kamil minutes ago.
"You almost killed her!! Have you seen in what state you put her, her neck is broken and its color!! Damn it! How could you assault a poor doctor?!"
I scuffed.
"A poor doctor?! Haven't you thought about the possibility that she might have done something to be in this state?-"
I wasn't finished asking that he launched at me, words, I would have prefered not to hear.
"Whatever she would have done! Whatever! She wouldn't deserve to be bed ridden because of whatever you'd be inventing."
I was stunned.
"What? I'd be inventing what?"
He was being hurtful, did he not believe me.
"I know Dina and she's not a calculative b*tch!"
Did he know her. Apart from spreading her legs apart did he try to see what might be in her head?
"Are you implying that I'm a calculative b*tch?!"
"I am saying that I don't know you much in the end!!"
He kept raising his voice and his every word was poison to my comprehension. I laughed because what he said made sense. I was the one dumb.
"You're right, you know her way deeper than you could ever know me."
I couldn't hear the end of my own sentence as I felt my right side burning from the touch.
"Did you slap me to defend your ex relationship? Your ex-girlfriend?"
His eyes held nothing but hatred. Something he once showed before. It was at the cell. I was seeing the same oppressive person I mate for the first time. I wasn't believing myself, he slapped me. And he never changed.
"I did and what would you do about it?"
And he wasn't even sorry about it.
"Nothing, we're done."
I was still shocked. I had to walk away to process the whole thing. I tried to move farther away from him because he didn't deserve to see my tears. He didn't follow, he trotted back to the hospital. I wish them the happiest ever ending.
I couldn' believe it, he never once asked me why I did that? He didn't even try to understand. What was the point in trying to build a relationship. He was the one wavering. I couldn't feel the mate bond but If we were over it would be for this. And it wasn't the first time he would pour on me cold water. I was done forgiving him. I wanted to be out of here, the air was suffocating. I wanted to see my mom and people that would respect me.
Tears could not stay in place, unfortunately. He didn't deserve my feelings.
It was time to go home. To be somewhere I belong.
I took my phone out and I called Kam.
He responded on the spot.
"Serah, How did it go with-"
I didn't feel like talking about it.
"Does your proposition still stand?"
"What proposition?"
I took a long breath, it was probably the last day I was staying in this pack. It was probably the last time I would step a foot in this territory.
"I'm going to Ice Moon with you."
I was going to draw a line with this world.
