Chapter 9


    Aderyn Pov


    It’s been three weeks since I’ve staying here and to say I’m liking it is really something new. Never had


    I grown attached to people so easily as I have been now.


    Bell has managed to grow closer to me in this story period of time and the most funny part is that I’ve


    been taken care by the people who were living here. I liked that feeling though where you find yourself


    important. Apart from all this, only two people have managed to irritate me.


    First is that Blonde Chic Lilly and second one is the bastard, Dn.


    I don’t know what problem he had from me but every time I met he would give me his cold shoulder


    treatment and he even scolds me taunting me I’m a kid and weak what not.


    I’m tired of this two. The problem is Lily likes Dn, at least that is what I heard till now. So, I don’t


    understand where the problem lies. Lily likes Dn. Dn likes his work and people. His people liked


    me.


    What a strange triangle.


    “Do you know why buildings can’t jump?” ke asked me ying his video game.


    I scratched my chin thinking and then grinned finding the answe “Because buildings aren’t Kangaroo” I


    screamed making himugh and we both did the hi-fi. Then burst outughing.


    “What nonsense” I heard Dn mutter as he went past the living room towards his room. I still don’t get


    it, How could he hear whatever we were talking from such arge distance.


    “Don’t mind him. He is always like that. Grumpy” ke whispered and I muttered “Like a grumpy old


    man”.


    We burst outughing. We were really Idiots. We both were habituated of Lame jokes and worst to


    worry jokes would made us cry fromughing hard. Everyone finds this weird but who cares to what


    they think.


    “Where is Bell?” I asked him sitting next to him.


    He shrugged his shoulder in response and continued ying. I haven’t seen her fromst two days. I


    wonder what she was doing.


    I got up from my ce and went out of the room leaving ke alone. I was walking towards the


    hallway when my phone rang. I took it out from my pant pockets and looked at the caller screen to find


    an unknown number shing.


    “What is it?” I asked to the person in the phone.


    “Just called to remind you abou-” he began but I cut him off saying “I know. You don’t need to remind


    me and don’t call me ever. Didn’t I told you earlier not to call me?” I snapped and heard him sighing.


    “Listen you don’t need to snap at me. I’m just doing my work” he finished and with that I hung up on


    him disconnecting the line.


    “Moron” I whispered shoving the phone back into my pant pocket.


    I began to walk but stopped dead in my tracks when I heard a voice speaking “Who shouldn’t call you?”


    I turned around to find Dn Standing near the door eyeing me suspiciously.


    “You were listening to my conversation?” I asked my voice dead.


    “Who was he?” He asked again as he began to walk towards me. I remained glued to the position my


    expression neutral.


    “It’s none of your business” I spat and watched as his demeanor began to change as quickly I said that.


    He began to shake violently while his hands were balled into a fist. Anger began to radiate from his


    body as he watched me like I have done some crime.


    “Don’t talk to me like that” I growled yes growled like a dog. I watched silently as he fought against


    himself trying to get into control.


    “I will talk however I want and don’t you dare spy on me next time” I snapped and the next moment I


    found myself stered against the wall hisrge hand gripping on my neck suffocating me.


    “Don’t talk to me like that again and next time I will not spare you. As long as you are here it is my


    Damn business to know everything that is going on” he said through gritted teeth and I held on his


    hand trying to free myself.


    He kept gripping my neck hard and suddenly I began to feel dizzy because ofck of oxygen and finally


    with utmost difficulties I stammered “Le-av-e M-Me”.


    Hearing my voice he left me as immediately he could and I gasped for air bending down holding my


    neck. I coughed a little and finally when I was able to breathe I stood straight looking directly into to his


    eyes.


    “First of all, I’m not staying here because of my wish. I was literally” I said air quoting the word


    “Kidnapped”.


    “So your rules and regtions do not work upon me and I don’t give a shit what you want and don’t


    want” I said slowly and clearly for him to get it to his thick skull.


    “And next time when you touch me, I can ensure you that it will really bad for you” I said ring at him


    with dead voice.


    I watched as his expression changed to neutral while I spoke to him. He was back to his real cold self.


    He opened his mouth to say something but stopped when his eyes fell on my neck.


    I was sure it would’ve been bruised by now. I trailed my finger against my neck and winced as


    immediate I touched the skin. I watched as he began to look worried and his expression changed to


    pain. He seemed like he would cry anytime soon.


    This guy seriously needs a psychiatrist.


    He lifted his hands up which I guessed was to touch me but before he could, I turned on my heels and


    began to walk out from there.


    “How dare he behave like that with me” I muttered to myself touching my sore neck.


    I walked back to my room and found myself directly standing in front of my window examining the skin


    on my neck.


    It surely did bruised and might I say Very badly. Finger marks were formed on my neck and ce


    where he gripped turned ck. I sighed seeing my form. Bruises are not new to me and I’m not afraid


    of them.


    But I don’t know why I feel like crying for him treating me this way. I have been treated worse than this


    then why am I feeling so lonely and sad?


    I feel like a piece of mine has hurt me. Why the hell am I feeling this way?


    I looked at myself in the mirror to find my eyes already watering thinking so much.


    “Tears?” I whispered eyeing my eyes as they began to water and soon tears began to roll down my


    cheeks like a stream of river.


    It was really surprising because it had been many days or years when I cried like this. I felt hurt and at


    the same time shocked. So many emotions at same time.


    I stared at myself in the mirror as the tears silently felt into my shirt soaking on it.


    “Am I pregnant?” I whispered.


    Suddenly I burst outughing holding my stomach. I am really mad. It really surprised me how I could


    change my mood so quickly.


    Iposed myself and buttoned up the first button of my shirt to hide the marks. Untying my hair, I


    “Can’t believe he did this to me” I whispered to myself and walked out of the bathroom.


    Suddenly I was crashed into a hug.


    “Oh my Lord Adie are you alright?” Bell asked worriedly. She pulled back from the hug and eyes me


    everywhere.


    “I can’t belief that the Alpha could do such thing to yo-” I cut her off saying “What did he do?”


    She stared at me with a confused expression and spoke “Alpha tried to hurt you right?”


    “When?” I asked her and watched as she furrowed her eyebrows clearly confused.


    “He didn’t?” She questioned and I shook my head negatively.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “But I heard tha-” she began but I cut her off holding her arm “Do you find anything wrong with me?” I


    asked and she began to eye me everywhere.


    “No?” She answered which sounded like a question.


    “That’s because nothing happened as you all are thinking” I spoke shoving my hands into my pant


    pocket. A habit of mine whenever I lied.


    Every time I lied, my fingers would start to twitch weirdly gaining attentions. I tend to hide it into my pant


    pockets every time I lied.


    She exhaled a breath. Her left hand on her forehead and the other on her hip. “These people I tell you”


    she whispered but I heard her.


    “Which people?” I asked rubbing my arm with my palm.


    “Actually I heard from a guy that he saw you and Alpha fighting and he even saw Alpha hurting you”


    she said and I pursed my lips nodding.


    “That’s absurd. Why would be hurt me?” I asked and she nodded “I know right. People just need some


    rumors to gossips about” she huffed and went towards my bed sitting in it.


    “Speaking of people, where were you from thisst two days?” I asked and watched as she tensed


    hearing by question.


    “Everything alright?” I asked eyeing her tense form.


    “Yes everything alright. I just went for patrolling” she said and sighed but suddenly her eyes widened


    registering what she just blurted out.


    “Patrolling? You are a police officer?” I asked and she shooked her negatively.


    “Not patrolling I mean shopping” she changed her words but I didn’t buy it that easily.


    Nevertheless, I nodded and went to sit next to her. We chatted for some hours and then she went out


    of my room saying that she had some work to do.


    I sat their on the bed watching out of the window. It was time of spring. I could see trees already


    beginning to shed their leaves. I loved spring season.


    I looked at time to see it’s already give in the evening.


    I wore my ck jacket over my shirt and made my way out of the room. It had been a habit of mine


    from my childhood to go for a walk every evening. It would calm my mind down.


    I walked out of the house and made my way towards the same path which I took everyday. It was a


    forest area which was covered with big trees which were now shedding their leaves. Yellow leaves fell


    on the ground covering the ground like a bed sheet. I walked on the leaves. A beautiful view to see as


    the sun rays fell on the leaves making it look gold.


    I remember how sometimes my dad would join me for walking. He would talk about his day and


    together we would walk holding hands.


    I was walking for I don’t know from how many minutes but suddenly stopped dead in my tracks when I


    heard a voice of twigs breaking. I turned around to see nobody around but I was trained better to


    believe my ears than my eyes.


    “I know you are there. So whoever you are juste out. There is no point of hiding” I said and waited


    for the person toe out.


    I was sure my eyes would have flied out my socket seeing the person.


    Dn.


    He came out from behind a tree and I watched as he pursed his leaves shoving his hands into his


    jacket pockets.


    Iposed myself and raised an eyebrow waiting for him to say something.


    “Now he had started to stalk you after eavesdropping you” I thought to myself and mentally rolled my


    eyes.


    “Are you going to say something?” I asked waiting for him to speak.


    “Just wanted to go for a walk” he spoke and I watched him usingly. Before I could scream or throw


    questions his direction he walked past me towards the way where I was going beforehand.


    I stood their watching his retreating back shocked by his attitude.


    “This man is seriously something” I muttered and sighed zipping up my jacket.


    “How long are you nning to stand there?” He spoke and I looked towards his direction finding him


    already looking at me.


    “Is he nning me to join him?” I muttered and to my shock he heard me from such a distance


    because he simply said “Isn’t it obvious?”


    I stared at him for some minutes but nevertheless walked to him and silently we began to walk.


    We never spoke to each other. There was aforting silence around us and we walked enjoying


    each other’spany.


    “Well this is new” my inner voice spoke to which I replied “New and interesting”.
