Episode 3: On The Go
Ava's POV.
I was still gazing at Ariel's face until I found myself thrown out of the house, and I watched the door shut in my face.
"Please, I am begging you! Don't throw me away! Please!" I shouted with a loud voice, and then the door was opened for me. I felt a sigh of relief, but instead, my belongings were thrown out of the house.
"You better pack up your things and leave right now because Caleb can be hot-tempered sometimes!" Sam said before shutting the door before my eyes.
I cried bitterly as I sat beside the door, thinking about what to do.
Where else could I go? I literally have nowhere to go. I have no one out there that I can just go and stay with.
I am pregnant but I think I am making the wrong decision by not trying to let Caleb know that I am pregnant.
My plan was to let him know after tomorrow's full moon, after I have already been confirmed as his Luna but that is no longer happening.
I know it will change his mind and actions towards me, but I am now scared because of Ariel's statement.
She's dangerous. If she wants to attack, she doesn't attack directly, but in a coded manner.
She has already warned me to stay away from the pack for the safety of my unborn baby. That simply means I shouldn't tell Caleb. But is that even the right choice? I must tell him.
But I just have to be careful in protecting myself and my unborn child.
Just as the door of the house was opened, Caleb and Ariel were setting out for their outing.
"Oh... Ava, you are still here? You endure so much. I could give you a lift if you want," Ariel said to me while they both silently approached the car parked out there.
Caleb was totally acting like he just didn't know me or what. I don't know what to call it, I stood boldly.
I approached Caleb, looking directly at his face as tears ran down my cheeks. "So this is how it ends? All the sacrifices I have made for you?" I said, still speaking.
He ignored me as he tried to enter his car, but I grabbed his hand and knelt before him.
"Caleb, please, I am begging you! You don't have to throw me away. I have nowhere to go. Even if it is not for me, but for the sake of... our unborn baby," I said as Caleb gazed at me with his eyes wide open.
Then I watched Ariel fold her hands, looking at us as if she wasn't surprised that I would speak up.
"You are pregnant?" Caleb asked, placing his hand on my cheek, and then helped me get back to my feet as I nodded with a smile.
"Please do me a favor," he said, using his hand to stroke my face and I was beginning to think that he has changed for good.
"Abort the baby," he said, and I quickly pushed his hand away from my cheek.
"Caleb, what...? I...? Should I abort our baby?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders being serious about it.
"Of course... What do you expect from me? Do you actually expect me to accept a baby from a weakling human? I don't like you. Don't you get it?" Caleb responded.
I just couldn't utter a word. I was left with tears, and tears only. There is nothing I could say because I feel like Caleb is not in his right mindset.
"I love Ariel, not just as a mate, but I have chosen her as mine!" Caleb said, and I interrupted with a loud voice.
"Your dad, Alpha Zed, chose me because he knows I am the better person for you. I am your destined mate! I am the Alpha's chosen!" I shouted angrily.
"Then go ahead and get married to the Alpha! Marry my dad since he is the one who chose you!" Caleb yelled at me and got into his car.
"Caleb, without me, you cannot be a complete Alpha, and you will achieve nothing!" I yelled at him with tears in my eyes. I found myself crying uncontrollably, but Ariel interrupted me.
"A big lie! With me, he will become the greatest Alpha that ever lived and will achieve unbelievable things," Ariel said as she joined Caleb in the car.
Caleb rolled down the car window. "Make sure you leave this pack with that thing you call our unborn child! I don't want to see you here when I return!" He thundered and drove away.
At this moment, I have no other option but to leave. I have realized that even with the baby, Caleb still doesn't care.
I only have one hope, and that is to meet Alpha Zed. He is the only one who can make things right again, but the problem is that I can't reach him.
He has been away attending to his business as one of the richest Alphas to ever exist, so he is somewhat unreachable.
I could have stayed here and waited for his arrival, but sometimes he stays away for months before coming home.
However, tomorrow, Caleb is becoming the leading Alpha of the pack, so it's surely that Alpha Zed will be present.
Waiting here until tomorrow could have been the best idea, but I fear Caleb right now. I don't know what Ariel is up to with him, so in that case, I have to go and find somewhere to hide until tomorrow.
I will come back tomorrow during the full moon rising when am assured that Alpha Zed will be around, but the question is, where exactly am I going to go now?
I don't know where to go, but I have to leave. So I gathered my belongings, even though they were a little heavy, and started walking alone on the lonely street. This is what I call going from riches to rags.
If I had known, I wouldn't have accepted to move in with Alpha Zed in the first place. At least, by now, my brother could have been alive beside me.
As I walk alone on the street, many thoughts swirl in my head.
Caleb rejecting me with his clear mindset, losing my witchery powers for a man who doesn't even deserve it, and what is Ariel's true mission?
These are all the thoughts occupying my mind, the one that bothers me the most right now is Ariel.
What exactly does she want with Caleb?
Is she just using him to manipulate me? And if so, what does she gain from it?
Lonely and lost in thought, I was walking along the way when suddenly, a heavy thunderclap startled me, followed by something dropping on my body.
"Goodness! Is it rain? Rain is coming, but what am I going to do? I am currently walking on a lonely road with no houses or shelter around, just woods on both sides."
In the blink of an eye, heavy rain began to fall, pounding on my head as I desperately searched for a hiding place.
Unfortunately, there was nowhere to seek refuge, and I was already feeling cold under the rain.
"I know I'm not going to die! I will live for my baby!" I said, tears streaming down my face. I felt helpless, looking around in the darkness.
Luckily, I spotted a wooden cave and quickly rushed inside. It wasn't comfortable and I couldn't even fit my entire body inside. But at least I could hide my head under the cave.
While I was there, I felt a strange movement that frightened me. Even though I thought it might be nothing, I heard it again, and that's when I quickly got up and saw a rogue werewolf standing right in front of me and I became so scared.
"Please don't hurt me! I'm just looking for a place to stay! If this is your territory, then I'm sorry for stepping on it. Please spare my life for the sake of my unborn child," I cried bitterly, slowly moving backward.
And the rain was becoming heavier as my body was already soaked, but the rogue didn't seem to care. His look became more dangerous.
I quickly turned and began to run.
He chased after me, and I couldn't take many more steps forward and I started getting tired.
But I kept running until I stumbled and fell to the ground. "Ugh..." I groaned in deep pain, and as I turned to look at him, I noticed that the rogue had already pounced towards me.
However, just as he was about to attack, another Alpha werewolf leaped out from behind and defended me. They began to battle.
As I watched them in surprise, trying to understand what was happening, I wondered who this guy was and why he was fighting for me. And why is the other one after me?
