Chapter 16
NATALIE'S POV:
I was having my breakfast and Theodore was sitting next to me smiling. But suddenly his expressions changed, his eyes started turning black again, and he clenched his fist. I looked at him, and he passed on a warm smile to me.
"Baby, you complete your breakfast, I'll be back in 10 minutes. I am having some urgent work, if you need anything, you can ask the Omega's?", He told softly.
I replied with an okay. He pecked my lips and went from the dining room smiling.
I completed my breakfast and was waiting for Theodore to come. He told me that he would be back in ten minutes, but it was almost half an hour and he did not arrive. I thought to take a stroll in the mansion. Here, women are cooking, children are playing, men are in the gym. They all look like normal human beings, no one would say that they are werewolves. Suddenly my gaze went towards the window, someone was standing outside and peeping in. I went a bit closer and was startled to see that person.
He was Abram. I ran towards the window, to talk to him but he ran from there. All the people started staring at me.
"Abram---Abram---", I tried to call him out but to no avail. I ran towards the main door, but the Omega's stopped my way.
"Move Aside", I yelled furiously.
"Luna, Alpha will punish us if you step out from the main door”, The Omega replied.
"What the-----1 want to talk to Theodore right now", I told angrily.
"Luna. you please calm down", The Omega told softly.
"I said I want to talk to Theodore right now, call him", I screamed angrily.
One of the omegas told another omega, "Tell Alpha that Luna is impatient to meet him"
The Omega nodded and ran to inform Theodore. I sat on the floor holding my head in between my palms. Tears welled up in my eyes. It was Abram, I saw him with my own eyes, I am not mistaken. But how is it possible? How could he be alive? Questions swarmed in my mind.
The Omega came with Theodore's message.
"Luna, Alpha has asked you to wait for him in the bedroom. He will be there in 5 minutes”
I nodded and went to the bedroom and sat on the bed waiting for Theodore impatiently and he came. I stood up from the bed and went towards him.
"Are you going to hold me a captive in this mansion?". I asked angrily and he looked at me.
"I am not that pretty Theodore, so stop staring at me and answer my question”, I yelled at him. "Mind your tone, yes you are my mate and I love you madly, but I am an Alpha too and I am not going to tolerate disrespect. Do you get that?”, He told angrily, clenching his fist.
I looked at him with fear in my eyes. He bolted the door of the bedroom, held my hands, and made me sit on the bed. He took deep breaths and then opened his eyes and asked softly.
"What's the matter. Is everything fine?"He asked.
"Why have you held me captive? Can't I step out of this mansion?"I questioned him.
"I have not held you as a captive, Natalie. I am doing this for your safety, do you get that?", He told in a bit loud voice and I looked at him not knowing what to say. He was right, he is just protecting me.
"Why do you want to go out?”, He asked softly.
"I saw Abr----", I was about to say but stopped in between. Until I am not sure, that he was Abram I won't tell anything to Theodore
"Whom did you see?”, Theodore asked.
"No---No one", I replied smiling. Theodore looked right into my eyes and I turned my face away. I could still feel his sharp gaze at me.
I thought to change the topic. I smiled and asked, "Theodore I want to know about werewolves." "What do you want to know?", He replied lying on the bed and pulled me beside him. I laid on his chest and replied " Everything."
He wrapped his arms around me and started telling me about werewolves. However, I was not paying attention to him and was thinking about Abram.
My eyes never betray me, he was Abram. I cannot forget him, his face, his blue hypnotizing eyes. But he had been killed----how can he be alive. I tried calling him, and I am sure he heard my voice than why did he run away. Is he too a werewolf---no--no-- Natalie, he is a human---but what was he doing here, and why was he peeping from the window?
I closed my eyes remembering all the past events.
FLASHBACK
After mum and dad's death, Aunt Maria and Uncle Tony used to torture me. They used to abuse me and assault me. They treated me like a maid and started to squander my parent's money. I got a scholarship at Wayland High School as I was bright in studies. However, I had no friends. Everyone used to bully me as I had scars on my face due to Uncle and Aunt's torture. I used to be engrossed in my books.
One day during the break time, I was going to the library when I bumped into someone and we both fell on the floor.
"I----1---am---sorry", I apologized not looking at the person, as I thought that the person whom I bumped into, would beat me, or bully me
"It's okay--in fact, I am sorry I was engrossed in my phone”, came a reply. I slowly lifted my head and looked towards the person, whom I bumped into.
He was of my age but he was quite tall, had a well-built body, blue eyes, and brown hair. He passed on a warm smile to me and I smiled back.
"Hey, I am Abram”, He introduced himself.
"I---1 am Natalie", I replied.
"Beautiful name, for a beautiful girl like you", He replied flirting and I couldn't stop blushing listening to his remark.
He helped me pick my books and helped me stand on my feet. All the girls were staring at me. However, I ignored them. I thanked Abram and was about to leave from there when Abram called me out.
"Natalie would you mind, having a coffee with me?", He asked. I did not know what to reply so I ignored him and proceeded towards the library.
As the college came to an end, I grabbed my books and bag and left college. On my way home, I heard someone calling my name. I turned back and found Abram.
"Natalie you didn't answer my question, would you have a coffee with me?", He asked again. "Nope, I am sorry”, I replied and proceeded.
"But why?", He asked.
"Because I don't want to!" I said bluntly.
"What is the harm in having a coffee with me. I am not going to add some poison in your coffee to kill you" He told.
"I am not interested in having a coffee with you, don't you understand? Now stop harassing me", I replied angrily and proceeded towards my home.
When I reached home, I rang the doorbell but no one opened the door. As usual, Uncle Tony and Aunt Maria would have gone out. Now I had to sit outside the house, waiting for them to come.
I sat on the stairs thinking about the guy Abram. "Why did he want to go for a coffee with me? I am a nerd, I am not even pretty than why is he interested in me?" I muttered to myself.
It was night time, Uncle and Aunt did not come yet. I tried calling them up but they didn't answer my phone too. I was hungry and exhausted. I rested my head on the door and in no time, I went into a slumber, due to extreme tiredness.
