Chapter 11

Freya

The window of my bedroom was open and there was a woodsy scent in the air. I was sure that someone had been here in my room, but who? And most importantly, why?

Who was stalking me like this? What do they want from a freak like me? I couldn't find any answers to my question.

Days went by, as usual, the only difference was that I had closed myself in my room and avoided going out, especially to the pack meetings.

I had started going back to college after a few weeks when the college reopened after the annual break. It was not easy for me to get my life back on track after parting from my mate. My heart was still shattered from the loss, though I was trying hard to be strong for myself and my parents, still, it was not easy for me.

It was a blessing that no one from our pack had taken pre-med at the college with me, so I didn't have to face anyone while I took my classes. I didn't know what the teachers taught in the classes all I did was to stare at the blackboard in the class deeply engrossed in my misery.

I haven't seen the Janitor after that day, it was like he had disappeared from the face of the Earth. Nor had I come across those red eyes ever again. I still got this feeling sometimes that I was being watched but I never caught anyone staring at me.

Life back at home was the same, I would stay in my room or go out on a walk at the edge of the woods. Mom and Dad were worried for me and I was trying to act as normal as I could in front of them. Dora was her annoying self, as usual, she would sort me out at the college during lunchtime and drag me along to the cafeteria.

Titus had not tried to make any contact with me, whatsoever. It was like I didn't exist for him at all. I should have known this better because no Alpha would want a Luna without a wolf for himself. He would want someone strong beside him who would stand with him in all the challenging situations in life. I couldn't give him that, I was not strong myself how would I help Titus with the challenges a pack has to face. I would only be a liability for him and a distraction.

I took my biology class and went to the library after it was over. I had to study for the test of chemistry which was going to be in my last class. I was never good at chemistry, but I had to take it as a major because it would help me with biochemistry. The symbols in the chemistry would all jumble up in my mind. I couldn't understand why scientists had to discover so many elements and make the life of students a living hell.

I was busy solving equations from my chemistry textbook when I felt the tingling sensation again with a chill running down my spine. I looked up from my book and looked around in search of my stalker but I didn't find any. The library was full of students busy with their work.

I jerked my head to get over the feeling of being watched and concentrated on the equation that I was solving. I stared at my notebook for some time with a blank mind. I had forgotten what I was supposed to do with this equation. I tried to concentrate but my mind had been distracted from the task. I was busy staring at my book when I felt the tingling sensation again with a chill.

My eyes shot up and were met with the glowing red orbs. Whoever it was, was standing behind the bookshelf kept across from my table and chair. The top shelf was nearly empty, most of the books had been taken down from there. He was watching me from the gap between two books and he had noticed that I was staring back at him.

I couldn't see his face because it was covered in shadows, but I could see his glowing red orbs. They sent a chill down my spine last like time. I got up from my seat not taking off my eyes from the red ones even for a second. I walked to the shelf and the moment I turned to face the spot where my stalker was standing, he was gone.

I couldn't believe how it could be possible, I ran down the aisle but I didn't found anyone there. Whoever my stalker was had lightning speed. One second he was standing there, staring at me, and the next moment he had disappeared in thin air. Who could that be and why was he hiding from me?

"Lewinsky, " someone called me from behind.

I turned and looked at the person who was calling me, he was a guy from the senior year, "Someone left this for you, " he passed me a book.

I looked at the title in surprise "Tiny Beautiful Things Advice on Love and Life From Sugar Daddy". I was shocked who can give me a book like this and why?

How did someone know I was struggling with my life and also with the love of my life? I have never told anyone anything about my problems. How could I? They were all humans. We as werewolves had to live secret lives, hiding our identity from the humans.

" Who gave you this?" I asked the senior.

"A guy with dark hair and green eyes, I think he is someone new around here, " the senior replied.

"Okay, thank you, " I replied to him and walked back to my table and settled on the chair.

I opened the book and found a smiley emoji drawn on the first page of the book. It had been drawn with so much precision that for a moment I thought it was printed. I turned the next page and there on the right corner of the page my name "Freya Lewinsky" was written in the most beautiful handwriting that I had ever seen.

My eyes widened on reading my name in that foreign handwriting. Who possibly this person be? The senior had said that he had not seen the guy around here before. I was scared as well as curious about the identity of my stalker.

Whoever he was he had not tried to harm me. Instead he and given me this book knowing that I needed consolation after my loss and heartbreak. Why did that person care about me so much? And why was he hiding from me?

My mind was getting exhausted going over these things again and again. I felt like leaving everything and running away somewhere far, where no one could ever find me. I knew it was not an option, for me because my parents won't be able to live without me. If only there was a way to overcome this heartbreak, to fill the void that has formed in my heart.

A fierce need to confront Titus for leaving me overcame my whole being. He had been gone for weeks without a word. I wish there was a way I could contact him and reject him to overcome this heartbreak. What was taking Titus so long? Why was he not coming back to me? Why didn't he tried to contact me? If he didn't want me, he could at least reject me and put an end to my misery.

I couldn't decide if I lived or hated my mate at this moment.

"Where are you, Titus?" I asked the air around me.

If only there was a way to find out why Titus had not returned or contacted me. I had thought of calling his Dad's Office many times and asking him for Titus's cell phone number. But I knew that Alpha Xander would never allow him to speak to me. I was not able to forget the hate and disgust with which Alpha Xander had looked at me on the night of my twentieth birthday.

I left the library after many failed attempts at studying chemistry. My mind was too distracted to concentrate on anything. I came out at the back of the school. There was no one present here. Most of the students preferred to spend their free time in the front ground of the school.

I had come here because I needed privacy. I needed to be somewhere alone where no one can find me, especially Dora. Sometimes I felt awful for treating Dora in such a way but I couldn't help it. I didn't have the patience to deal with Dora and her questions especially today after what happened in the library.

I strolled towards the woods at the back of the school. I was about to enter the forest when I heard a life-wrenching shriek. I couldn't figure out if it belonged to an animal or some human.

I walked deeper into the woods towards the source of the voice that I had heard. Another shriek followed and this time it was more heart-wrenching than before and I was sure it belonged to a human. I paced my footsteps in the direction from where the voice was coming until I came face to face with something that I had never witnessed before.
