After things happened between me and Riftan, i didn't come down for dinner and his not in here. His scent is fading away. I feel so lonely. I head straight to bed and i switch off the light and lock the door. But Leah knock on the door, asking if i wanted to eat. All i can say is i need space and time to think about all of this.
"What is wrong with this week? First i get assignments for my Final year project and everything started to go downhill when i told mom and dad about this. After that, Mom and Dad are gone because of me? Now i met with a total stranger which is so fucked up because i only met him for a few minutes and we already fuck each other?! Ohh myy headd.." I touch both side of my head and it's really intense for me to handle all this news and meeting.
Ringg ringgg... A phone call coming from my bag. I ran towards my bag and quickly look at my phone screen hoping its Mom. But it's not mom. Unknown number calling me. I pressed the button answer but i didn't say a word.
"..." I can hear someone breathing from the other side of the phone..
"You are mine and not his. I will make sure i'm the one who will get you my queen.." a stranger voice with such a deep voice. Unlike like Riftan's voice. Total opposite from his vibe. My ears and my body has goosebumps.
"W-who are you? W-where did you get this number?" I took a leap of faith and ask the stranger.
"I have your mother with me.. Don't worry i won't kill her unless you come quietly and agree to meet me in the forest." The way the stranger speak is making me uneasy but the lies that he told me, i know it's fake. I know my mom dead.
"Stop playing with me! My mother is dead! It's impossible for you to have her! I know she's dead!" my blood pressure has risen as i hear the nonsense about my mother.
"Ah.. Fierce little girl, i wonder if you can bite.. Hold on to the line as you hear this scream.." Scream ? what scream ? Is he playing with me? Who is fucking guy?!
"Rosiee... Don't come.. They will kill you...——- Fuck you Bella! You should learn your place as you had forsaken me and my father! Your daughter will be here and i know she will come! Cut her finger one by one!" The voice, the scream and the sound from the phone making me so numb and confuse. My mother is been torture by whom?
"Don't hurt my mother! Please! Let me talk to her!" I literally crying as i listen to her screaming voice. She's in pain.
"If you don't want me to kill her, come to this address. You should come alone! Then i'll let your mother lived.—-.." say the man and he cut off the phone call. After a few second he ended the call, a new text pop out at my screen. It's a live location and a reminder.
' Remember if you want your mother to stay alive, don't do anything stupid. Meet us here in 30 minutes..'
I didn't take long to decide what to do as i know my mother's safety is my top priority. I don't care if i have to die for her sake. I wear jeans and i wear the black coat. I headed down to the kitchen to take a knife with me, in case they try to harm me or my mother. The knife will be handy. I opened out the top drawer and check if i can find bandage or anything to help mom with her bleeding. I grab a bottle of mineral. After putting everything in my bag, i grab Uncle's Taylor truck key.
I try to walk as silent as i can to the back door and as i closing it slowly. Riftan saw me from a distant. I recognise his scent and when i looked at him. He already standing behind me.
"Where are you going and what are you doing?" He asked with curiosity. Riftan took my bag and open up to check it.
"A knife, a bandage and a bottle of mineral? Are you going somewhere?" he asked the second question, i couldn't possibly tell him plus i am still very anger at him for taking my virginity..
"Mind your own business Riftan!" I push him and walk pass him to the car but he stop me by grabbing my hand.
"You are my only business in here.. Where are you going?" he asked again only this time his voice become a bit scary.
"I'm going to this stupid place and save my mother!" I shown him the live location and he read it. His face reaction changed immediately after he saw the text.
"There's no way i'm letting you go to that place.. You're mother is dead Rosie. They might trap you.." Riftan throw my phone on the ground and smash it.
"Nooo! Stop it!" I try to stop him but its too late. my broken is totally broken into pieces.
"WHAT THE FUCK RIFTAN! YOU STUPID ASS BITCH! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! THAT IS MY ONLY WAY TO SAVE MY MOTHER!!!" I let out my anger and punch him as hard as i can. He just stand there and accept whatever i throw at him.
"YOU SO MEAN! THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!" I broken down and cry as loud as i can until the house people came out to the back door. They saw everything that had happened. Then suddenly Riftan carry me and made me sit on the truck back.
"Listen to me Rosie.. The person who called you and say that you're mother still alive is lying. They try to steal you away from me because they knew you are my weakness.." Riftan slowly lift my head up with his gentle finger. He look me in the eyes and his eyes started to tear up.
"How could you possibly know that my mother is really dead?! How?" My mind is going to blow up from the pressure and the feelings of wanting to know the truth.
"Because we buried her and your Dad in our underground grave." I looked at him and he passed me my parent's ring. I cry even hard looking at those ring.
"But how? I really heard my mother's voices in the phone.. I-i don't know what to believe anymore.." Riftan hug me tightly and let me cry on his shoulder. After a straight 10 minutes cried, i finally calm down. Riftan loosen his grip and kiss my forehead.
"Its the imposter skill.." say Riftan softly.
"Imposter? What do you mean?"
"An imposter is one of the rarest skill any werewolf get. Because the price you had to pay is by blood.. Maybe its time for you to know our histories.." Riftan carries me into the house. Riftan made me a hot chocolate to keep me warm.
After calming down, we gathered around and sat across the fireplace. It was hot during morning but deadly cold in the nights.
My finger were cold as i wrapped then around the hot chocolate mug and waited for him to speak about werewolves and the reason why i'm his mate..
Riftan von de'luv
An alpha
A werewolf
My only mate.
A god like creature, known for his merciless, handsome and over powerful. There was a long history behind this man. That's what i thought.
"So what's your story?" I take the lead by asking him a question. Breaking up the silence and awkward situation is not my expertise but i've rather to talk first than say nothing at all.
"You might not believe this but I have lived hundred years. I have so many stories to share with you but i don't know where to start." Riftan let out a small laugh underneath his breaths. He look at me with his intense eyes but somehow i feel comfort in those eyes.
"Maybe you can start with how you become a werewolf? I mean— if you were once a man and just a man, then how do you become a werewolf? is it like Dracula thing? or what?" Maybe i asked a stupid question since this is not really my field to ask someone a question randomly!
Riftan burst into laughter and he was so cute when his laughing. Maybe for the first time , he can laugh so casually and feel free.
"Well, that's an interesting theory you gotten from the history i guess? Well my dear, it is not like 'Dracula thing'. I was born back in 1st september 1922 at Silver fall Sicily. I have an older step-brother named Surgieo. My father was an alpha for his people but he abandon them for Surgieo's sake. His mother was a human. He never knew that his decision was a mistake. Until one day surgieo's mother was killed by one of the werewolf, they were angry with her and hated her because she was a normal human. My father spend his life with revenge and killed every werewolves that he come across with. Then he met my mother. She changed my father and guide him back from the darkness than years later i was born. My mother was a beta and she never let any man marked her because she said she knew my father will come around. She was made for my father. Their love so beautiful and i wanted to be like my mother, although she faced a lot of difficulties but she stand with my father until their last breaths." Riftan's voice sounded so deep but yet full with sorrow and pain.
"I'm so sorry for your lost Riftan.." I reach out my right hand and hold into his left hand. His finger is so beautiful and long.
"I'm happy for them because they lived a long beautiful life together and they were the best parents i ever had."
"But what happened to your older brother? Why is he not here with us?" A sudden curiosity came into my head and without any hesitation i asked the question.
"After our parents passed away, Surgieo said he wanted to be the Alpha for our pack but it is a tradition that only full blooded werewolf can completing in a ceremony. No half blood is allowed to enter. He was mad and challenged the elders to test his power. But the eldest doesn't seem to be interested in him so they ignore him. Surgieo was full with rage, he killed one of the eldest and he was blind with revenge and i had to stopped him from committing treason. Then i killed him and tossed him into the waterfall, i didn't want people to bury him and curse at his death. Soon after that, i was old enough to participate in the ceremony and i was chosen to be an Alpha. I have so many people questioning about the news but then they set me up, lurking me with a lot of women. I did not marked any of them but yes i slept with all those women. The pack needed an alpha, i become their Alpha but that doesn't satisfy their greed. They don't want to lived a peaceful life so they started to cause chaos and killed another pack from different tribe. Then war started to become more complicated. When they see that i was unfit, they cast me out from my own land. I was alone, day and night enemy keep coming and hunting me until one day i found a cabine. Its was empty and it seem the wolf are not able to sense my scent. That's where i found your great ancestors. They welcome me and tamed me, i never transform into human form for a few years."
"W-what?! you met my ancestors?! how long did you lived?! If you have met them, you really lived a long time!"
"Rose.. I've told you that i've lived a hundred years. are you listening?" Riftan pull my hand and lean on closer to my face and our forehead touches. I was so embarrassed in tht moment.
"A-ah Yes! I'm listening! Sorry please continue.." i pull my self back and try to refocus with his story.
"Your ancestors was one of the very last tribe that honour the scared law, to be reunited and chose peace over war. They knew i was an Alpha, so they took me in and teaches me the way of life. I made a promise to your ancestors that i will take care of their people as they have taking care of me. Then one day your lady ancestors had a vision about you. She say when the world almost clash down with blood and revenge, i will meet my soulmate which is you. She warned me about a lot of things and she also teaches me a lot of good things. She say i will become one as their own. And here we are."
The story was so interesting and i still couldn't believe that i was in my great ancestors vision?
