Chapter 2

I stare the lovely day, the sun was bright, the sky was clear blue. It remains me of my father who loved days like this. I really miss him so much, we enjoyed the barbecue, we hanged out for a while. I wish he could come back home and said "I am back" waking me up from this nightmare. I do the cleaning and the cooking. And my brother works to pay the bills, I have to do all the things like a housekeeper, but I don't care, it's not a big deal for me. My brother acts like I don't even exist. I know he never forgive me because he never talks to me except ordering me to do something. Having seen how cruel my brother is to me and people started to treat me differently too. Because of his identity, future beta. It is reasonable for him to do everything. It hurts that I'm not going to lie but I still to stand all of these. Devil roll eyes wishing me to tell him the true, but every time I remember the look on my father's face, I deny my idea. I already decided that after I graduate, I will go to college and away from the Galaxy pack. To a place that none knows me, and I could restart everything, forgetting all the hurts. I am on the way to a bench that I am always sitting on, just staring the sky, the sunset. To me, nowhere is the best way, I’d rather to be homeless. When I walked closer to the bench, I felt my heart beating, he was there the one I knew. It may be a crush or anything I don’t know. "Am I in your usual seat?" he said. His voice is familiar sound, deep and soft. His hazel eyes glistened even brighter than the sunset, ringing the green circle around the pupils. And I was addictive to his eyes most. The fact is that he is the most beautiful man I have ever seen. His dark hair, his beautiful tan skin, all details make me want they are mine. I know I am like an architect drawing up the plan. It's not even about his looks, it's the fact that he's the future alpha. "Umm yes." I noded. I was so awkward. I felt bad that he even had to witness it. "My bad." He replies getting up before I stopped him. Sometimes I just wanted to punch my mouth, there always was words that I held back. "No, it's okay. The bench is big enough for both of us." He gave me a smile that could light up the whole pack and made space for me to sit. No one spoke a word, just stared at the sunset, and I felt that I was seeing his eyes. It was tranquil and peaceful. I have known Sean, he is my brother’s best friend who the future Alpha of Stone for years. I used to follow him and, but it has been a while since I haven't seen him. As I knew, he wasn't talkative, but he could say a lot using his eyes. He had never been rude to me or anyone, I thought he was the gentlest man in the pack. All of the person respect and like him. He is one of the few people that haven't treated me differently since my father's disappearance and Jared's hostile behavior. In fact, I think he is just indifferent to me, or he doesn't care about me. But I was shocked when he asked, "You coming to my party?" I shook my head, escaping his beautiful eyes. "I didn't know you were having a party." I lied so I didn't have to answer his question. His father would him the title this Sunday, and this day is my birthday too. I guessed he wouldn't care. "Wish you were there." He sounded so gentle. I blinked at him. How could I turn that way? "Actually, I don't think I'm going to be there" His eyebrows furrowed wondering why I wouldn't be there to support my brother. Jared would be a Beta at his party. "I don’t like the parties, so noisy." Sounded reasonable. People all assumed that I was the one to blame, they wouldn’t like to see me at the party. Maybe it was better if I had told him rather than keep the truth to myself. "You can come to just help out. Don't have to join the party." Well Jared can't say anything. I smiled then it quickly faded because I didn't have anything to wear. "I don't know what to wear." "I will send a suitable dress. Don’t worry about that. " "Okay, thank you." I whispered grinning. Did I just get invited to one of the most important parties? Was I Cinderella? I couldn't help smiling. Finally, I could wake up from the nightmare for a while. I walked downstairs and try being normal of me marching downstairs. When I walked into the room. All the heads turned to face me, and I never felt embarrassed like this. I froze in my step. Feet stuck in place and my heartbeat increased in speed. I knew my brother was annoyed. I shouldn't even show my face in front of his friends. It was allowed. Everyone stopped and looked at me, the room was silent, and I believe that they could hear the sound of my heartbeat and my shallow breaths. I felt uncomfortable noticing that there were around 10 people there in the room. Including Jared's best friend, Sean. "It is nice that you're here." Sean broke the ice by speaking. The rest of the room looked at him like he did something weird. I wondered that was I new here, I’ve been living here for 18 years. I admitted that people don't usually talk to me, especially not Sean. "Excuse me Alpha?" "I brought you the dress for today." He waved his hands with a package. I was confused firstly like everyone else then I remembered the dress was what he said when we talked last time. I quickly made my way to him ignoring my brother's ice gaze. "Seriously? She is coming to the party?" One of the girls whispered. "I thought you'd do better." Some boys joked but it really made me uncomfortable, but all I could did was put on my poker face. "What are you thinking about?" Another girl asked. A boy said nothing but showed a rude gaze. "Will you all shut up?" Jared spoke out. But those were all he said, I was in exile, and he didn’t defend me like he used to be. Silence filled the room. Everyone's eyes were either on Jared, Sean, or me. I thought there was a bit of misunderstanding. "I'm here to help." I explained. Girls were jealous that I was there attending the party. I felt like if I told them why I was here, they would take it easy on me. "Of course. We shoulda know that's the reason. None invite you anymore." A girl with blench blond said. "Shut up Bonnie. No one asks your opinion." Was Sean protected me? Bonnie looked embarrassed as her cheeks grow as red, but she rolled her eyes to me. I did nothing! I should walk as fast as I can to upstairs, this was really not my thing. "Thank you, Sean. " Without looked his eyes, I leaved as soon as possible.
