They are not related

Did she just call dad?. My body was vibrating in anger, like the night my parent died flooded through my mind. It was like I could see them. I could see them close their eyes to the cold hand of death. I shuddered with the wave of rage that swept over me. I clenched my fist, as I wait to see the next reaction from them both. I wanted to know if he was her father and she was his daughter. Nigel held my hand in an attempt to stop me from doing anything crazy. Salvador walked past her and I felt my anger subsided. "Dad? you mean dad is in school?" Olive said. She turned around. "I can't find him and I don't care!!" She yelled.

I rolled my eyes. This girl is rude even to her parent?. I groaned. Hope the moon goddess has not decided to punish me by giving me Olive as a mate. Maybe it was for good she rejected me. I watched her pull off the blue tooth from her ear and that was when I realized she had been on the call. I also noticed she was facing her car. I hissed. At first, I thought she was talking about Salvador and when he walked past her, I felt it had to be Ella she was talking to. I was so clouded by anger to have noticed all this. I punched the car bonnet. I whined realizing how painful it was.

"Are you, ok? now?" Nigel asked

I sighed. "Yes I am"

"Are you sure?" Bella asked

I rolled my eyes and smiled. "As to can see, I am ok". Bella made to say something but I quickly shut her up. "Can we go now?"

She sighed. "Sure, let's go"

We entered the car and drove off. During the drive back to the packhouse, I couldn't stop thinking about what happened some minutes ago. How my anger had been rekindled and how I almost lost control of myself. At some point, I blamed myself for not being able to control my anger. But I couldn't help it. Seeing the murderer of my parent walking about like he owns the word while my parents are beneath the ground, only opened up a closed wound. It only increased my desire to take revenge on him. And seeing him stopped in front of Olive, I thought the moon goodness was been wicked to have given me the daughter of my enemy as a mate.

I brushed my hair backward. What will I have done, if she happened to be his daughter?. Would I have hated her or decided in my heart to forgive her father and behave like nothing ever happened? I rolled my eyes. Thank goodness, she wasn't his daughter. I just can't imagine what would have happened if she was. I was so clouded by my anger to have noticed he didn't stop because of her and she didn't call him dad. A part of me wanted to believe Olive could be his daughter, especially due to her sassy and rude attitude but another part of me was assuring me that they aren't related. "What if they are?" I thought

"Maybe he is her distance uncle and she, his niece or maybe cousins?" My subconscious mind asked

Distant uncle? niece? I laughed. Nigel stared at me and I chuckled. "Why are you laughing?"

"Nothing. I just remembered something funny"

He stared at me suspiciously and I had to keep a straight face to make him believe me. Bella only stared at me but said nothing. When they both finally decided to stop staring at me alone and mind their business, I sighed. The car stopped at the packhouse. I looked through the window to see Declan and some other pack members waiting, I guess to console their Alpha who had been rejected by his mate. I groaned. I wanted to just stay in the car until evening. Nigel held my mind. "Be strong"

I rolled my eyes. That my heart was broken or that I saw my greatest enemy?. I furrowed my brows. I don't know what he wants me to ne strong for. Bella chuckled. "Get ready for a long sermon."

I groaned. Nigel stepped out of the car with Bella, leaving me alone in the car. I relaxed and closed my eyes. Can someone tell them to go, please!!. I heard a knock on the window and I opened my eyes. "Come on, step out. They are waiting" Nigel said

I hissed. I can't imagine myself, facing them. I don't want anyone pitying me for any reason. But I am the alpha of the pack. The one who got rejected, so they will pity me. If not for anything, but for being their alpha. I contemplated for a while before finally stepping out of the car, though in a sluggish manner. They must have seen my reaction, cause they came rushing in our direction. I groaned and Bella chuckled. "I was expecting this" she whispered

I rolled my eyes. "Me too" Nigel answered

"I said that first," Bella said

"Does that stop me from saying it?" Nigel asked

I grunted. "Can you both stop talking?. Do you ever get tired?" I asked, getting irritated. I am thinking of how to get away from here and there they are about to start another round of couple's fights. Don't they get tired of fighting?. I hissed.

"Are you ok, Nolan?" Declan asked in a concerned tone

I rolled my eyes. "I'm fine"

He touched my body and then furrowed his brows. "No pains yet?". I blinked. Pains?. What pains?. "Talk to me". I rolled my eyes. I'm not feeling any pains. I don't even know what he's talking about. Nigel chuckled when I wrinkled my nose. I glared at him. "Nolan?"

"No, I'm not feeling any pain "

"Are you sure, you're ok?. You can talk to me if you need help" Declan persisted. I growled. Like father, like son, they can so bother you, until you get tired and spill out every word in your mouth. "Nolan?"

I groaned. "Do I not look ok, to you all? Huh?. Am I the first to be rejected?" I yelled

Nigel chuckled. "You don't look, ok, Nolan. And we both know" he whispered as I growled.

What do they take me for?. A baby who doesn't know when he needs help?. I hissed. "I'll be in my room," I said and left them all standing. As I walked to my room, people kept staring at me with pitiful faces. I hissed. Why are they acting like I've lost the world or like that's the end of my life?. I glared at them and they scurried away. I got to my room and lay on the bed, feeling frustrated. I kept turning. Two things had affected my mood. One, the pitiful faces of those that claimed to be concerned about me. And the second was the sight of Salvador. I sighed and stood up. A nice shower and a little bit of rest should restore my mood and bring me back to my once lively self.
