Healing The Ruthless Alpha

Chapter 16

I fell asleep after Cahir left although I spent a full hour tossing and turning and wondering what he was doing, where he was and things too explicit or recount. The sensation of freezing water on my face jolted me from a dreamless sleep.

“Holy –“ I gasped as I jumped upright, wiping water from my face as I came up. “What the hell?” My eyes focused on Felicity with her hand on her waist and a bottle of water in her other hand. “Why did you do that?” Asena snarled at the girl.

Looking at her made me remember Rena. Rena had been an innocent and harmless wolf that only wanted to protect me but Felicity cost her her life – the life of my only friend in the world. I wished that instead of healing, the goddess had gifted me with the ability to shoot lasers from my eyes. This bitch standing in front of me deserved to be burnt to a crisp.

“Get out of that bed!” She shrieked, coming to pull at my hair. Anticipating the move, I shifted to the middle of the bed and considering its size, she could not get to me without getting into the bed. “Get out, you whore!” She tossed the bottle of water at me.

I waited for her to throw caution to the wind and climb into Alpha Cahir’s bed. eded to see if she had the audacity to leave her scent on his sheets. If she was all bark and no bite, I wanted to find out then.

“Who do you think you are to ignore me?” She continued to shriek.

For a split second, it seemed she would jump into the bed to attack me and from the increasingly crazed look in her eyes, I knew it would not be long before she damned all the consequences. This time, I would be prepared for her. Her existence made me boil with hatred.

“Do you think you are better than me or something because you’re mated to that monster!?” She jumped into the bed right as I rolled away, leaving her flaying around for a second. “You bitch!” She

bellowed, rising from the bed as I did.

“Stop describing yourself, Felicity,” I said in a tired voice as I put a safe distance between the two of us. “You’re the one who spreads your leg for anyone who smiles your way. A bitch in heat,” I sneered. She threw her slippers at me. It missed and hit the back of the sofa.

“I am going to kill you today, stupid slut! How can you be mated to Cahir yet you’re still chasing after Aristo?” She rushed at me to tackle me to the ground but I sidestepped her. The force with which she propelled herself against me almost had her face planting the ground as she staggered.

While she displayed her antics, Asena raged against her. Rena had been our friend who she provoked and had killed like the heartless monster she was. Goddess, I hated this girl! I hated her father, her brother and this entire pack! I wished they would burn to the ground for all they subjected me to!

“Why would I want Aristo when I have Cahir?” I sneered at her as she righted herself. “You’re the slut with a pussy itch, going after any man that would have you. Go ahead!” I screamed, rage making my voice strong. “Fling yourself at Aristo! Let him use you like the dirty rag that you are, filthy slut!” I threw her words back at her.

“I will teach you some manners!” She barreled into me, anticipating my move as I tried to dodge her.

I had no chance of winning against Felicity who was a beta with an Alpha’s blood in physical combat but the anger I felt against her for the atrocity of killing my friend, I did not want to let her go. My wolf itched to tear into her, to bash her head against the wall and coat my fingers with her blood.

“You’re only jealous Aristo won’t go for an ugly bitch like you!” She landed a punch on my cheekbone and I yanked her hair as hard as I could. Her expensive as hell hair extension came off as I yanked her hair backwards.

“You think you are pretty!?” I sneered, getting breathless as I tried to block her attacks and throw her off me at the same time. Her fists came down in rapid succession, beating down on any part of my body she could get her hands on. “I can wipe off your beauty with a wet towel. Stop deceiving yourself, you look like your father!” I pushed her off me with great effort, heaving her off.

“How dare you insult my father!” She had gone red in the face as she tried to attack me as I jumped to a stand.

The door opened and Avalon peaked her head into the room. She rushed in when she saw Felicity. She walked over and tried to land a slap on my cheek but I was too tired to endure their bullshit. I slapped her hand away as it came for me.

“Great! The queen bitch is here.” I sighed.

Standing there with the two girls glaring at me, I felt my legs shake from fatigue. This whole ceremony happening was forty percent my effort. I worked long and hard in order to make it happen and now that it was almost over and I didn’t have to wait tables and serve drinks, I wanted to sleep for a full day and put all these behind me.

“How can you be mated to Alpha Cahir?” Avalon asked in a calm, unbelieving voice. “You’re nobody and he is the most feared man on the planet.” She stepped closer to me and I saw a familiar frenzy, the one she displayed before she did something crazy like dumping a pot of boiling water on me. “You don’t deserve him!” She shrieked and then she and Felicity rushed at me.

The door barging opened. Alpha Warren bursting in saved me from yet another unwarranted beating and torture from these two women who had terrorized me all my life.

“Felicity, Avalon, what are you doing here?”The Alpha asked, his brow scrunching with his lips pursed.

“Alpha. Dad!” Both girls exclaimed at the same time. Felicity rushed towards her father who looked at me with concern on his face.

The look on his face made me take a step back. It perplexed me that he was looking at me rather than paying any attention to his daughter who had started sobbing beside him.

“Dad, you would never believe what this crass omega said to me,” Felicity sobbed, clutching her father’s arm. At nineteen, she was a spoiled brat whose mate I pitied. The man who would be stuck with this kind of woman for the rest of his life was bound to be miserable as all she could do was pretend and lie.

“Alpha, I am trying to teach this bitch a lesson for disrespecting me.” Avalon puffed out her chest to show she had a handle on the situation. However, the Alpha still had his eyes on me, specifically my hands.

“Avalon, go to your parents. They have something to say to you,” Warren lifted his eyes from my hand to my face and my body tingled. “Are you alright, my dear?” He asked me, pulling his hand from his daughter as he came to stand before me.

His hand touched my chin and I flinched away from his cold touch. “Oh dear, you have a bruise on your cheek.” He gave me a knowing look. “I will send up a nurse to check it.” He smiled at me and then turned to give his daughter a stern look. “You mustn’t disturb Sia. Why are you even in the Alpha’s room?” He scolded.

Felicity looked from me to her father in bewilderment as Avalon left the room with a seething expression on her face and her teeth gnashing. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“Dad, I just thought I could –“

“Don’t be so careless, Felicity, or are you trying to make things difficult for your brother?” He shouted at her. She stepped back from him, her eyes wide with fright from his enraged tone.

“What did I do?” She asked, tears filling her eyes. “She was the one who spoke ill of me and even attacked me. Look, she even injured my hand!” She stuck her right arm out for her father to see but he ignored the outstretched hand.

“How can Sia speak ill of you? She is the Beta’s daughter or are you saying my Beta did not raise his daughter right?” He glared down at her and I could see the confusion I felt mirrored on her face.

“Dad –“

“Apologize to her!” The Alpha’s voice boomed.

“But –“

“Apologize!”

“I am sorry!” Felicity shrieked out an apology as she glared from me to her father. Her eyes asked me if I had bewitched the old man but even I was confused with his sudden switch in behaviour.

Then he spoke and I heard a ringing in my ears.

“You should try to get along with Sihana, City. She is your brother’s mate and will soon become your sister.” He smiled at me with a disconcerting twinkle in his eyes.
