A spy

As if nature knew how sad and broken I was, the moon seized to come out, just the whistling of the crickets, the winds and fluttering of leaves bringing with it a flurry of late evening activities.

After much though and cries, I slept off.

The crying of the crickets and the early morning orange sun that won't stop feasting on my bare skin woke me up from my slumber.

After blinking my eyes severally, my vision became clear.

I don't even know where I was or how Xina managed to bring me here.

I trotted down into the woods with my torn dress, my favorite dress all torn to shreds, well all thanks to Xina.

"How unfortunate could my day get?"

"We needed to run to clear off our head" Xina spoke inside my head.

"Where are we?"

"I don't know"

"How could you be this careless? What if there are rogues out here?"

"I'd finish them up in a second, but that's only if you would let me take control" She bragged

"That's never gonna happen, how do we get back home?"

"I don't wanna go, I might end up doing something crazy to Jason, your boyfriend".

"That's enough"

"Where are we going"

"HOME" I shouted and started running to a place unknown to me.

I need to get home before the sun sets fully.

"Nessa, where have you been? Tried reaching you but your phone was off, what happened?" Mom asked, coming out of the kitchen with a tray of chicken.

Contemplating whether to answer or not, I don't want her nagging this morning.

"I..I..it was late, so I couldn't come back".

"Who did you spend the night with?"

"Jason"

"Did you guys had s*x last night?"

There she goes again.

"Mom, I seriously can't answer that" I didn't wait for her to continue before running upstairs to my room.

"Nessa, the dinning has been set, come down for breakfast or you might starve to death" she called from downstairs.

"I'm coming" I hurriedly changed my clothes.

Well I can reject anything but not my food, I don't joke with it.

I hurried downstairs to take my seat beside my dad at the dinning.

"Why is your eyes all puffy? Have you been crying? Dad asked.

"Nope, why should I? I couldn't sleep last night cause of the party, maybe that was why".

"Was it a club? Mom asked.

"Nope, I couldn't sleep cause I was having a discussion with my friends.

"You and I know you have no friends, or do you?" Alex asked.

Well one thing about me is that, I have no friends I'm always a loner and Alex my elder brother knows about it.

"No, I mean Xina, yes, I was having a discussion with her".

I could feel Xina rolling her eyes in my head right now.

"We never had any discussion last night, why are you lying?"

"Must you always talk? Can't you just act like you didn't hear anything?"

"No, not when it involves me" she shouted inside my head.

"Nessa can you hear me?" Mom flicked her fingers, bringing my attention back to her.

"Mom can we not talk about this? I wanna eat in peace".

"You wanna eat in peace, after lying to us?"

"How did I lie?

You told us you were with Jason, but we all know Jason already found his mate" mom said giving me a questioning look that says "Do you have to lie, when it's all over the pack".

"I've lost my appetite" I stood up and left the dinning and ran upstairs into my room.

"I really need to take a walk".

I changed into my sport bra and leggings with a jacket and headed downstairs.

They were still having breakfast, none of them noticed my presence, so I left as quietly as I could, not like I wanted them to notice me.

I ran out putting my headphone in my ears, but I could still hear what people are saying.

"She's the one"

"She's so cheap, dating someone who isn't her mate"

"I also heard she fights with anyone who tries to advise her, such a bad child"

"Now he found his mate, what is she gonna do after rejecting her mate?

"That serves her right, being a bitch doesn't pay"

I could hear the whispering and murmuring from the pack gossips, how news flies so fast, they already knew what happened even before I got home.

"And I believe she must have slept with him cause she looks so cheap".

The last statement got me so angry that I didn't know I got to the lady using my hand to grip her throat like I was going to pull it off her body.

"What are you trying to do?" The other women shouted at me.

"How dare she say that about me huh?"

"She wasn't lying, that's the truth, you are nothing but a cheap slut who rejected her mate for someone who now has a mate" she spoke fearlessly.

"And also fight anyone who tries to advise her" Another woman added.

I released my grip on the woman's neck and left.

She's right, I thought he was my mate, I thought he loved me, how foolish I was to think he won't leave, if only I had listened to mom, I don't think I can stay here any longer.

I need to leave this place.

I ran back home, packing few of my belongings, I arranged them inside my bag before jumping through the window.

I got to the road and stopped a taxi, "take me to anywhere" I could see the confusion on his face, but I don't care, I just wanna leave this place.

I wanna go far to a place where they can't find me.

I searched for a song in my phone, i played singing along with it.

Ah ah, oh oh

Ah ah, oh oh

Ah ah, oh oh oh

I can hear you but I won't

some look for trouble

while others don't

there's a thousand reason

I should go about my day

and ignore your whispers

which I wish would go away

Oh oh oh

Ah ah,oh oh oh

Ah ah, oh oh oh....

FLASH BACK

I could Remember vividly on my 18th birthday I and Jason were moving around collecting gifts from the guests when Romeo one of my childhood friend ran to me pulling me into a tight hug I used all my strength to push him off What's "wrong with you Romeo?"

"My mate"

"you are my mate" he kept panting

"What do you mean by that?" I asked cluelessly.

"You're my mate" he said smiling and showing off his thirty two teeth.

"That's not possible, you can't be my mate, I already have someone, and I love him" I said pulling Jason close enough for Romeo to see.

I could see a flash of pain in his eyes, while Jason planted a kiss on my lips.

"No you can't do this Vanessa, can't you see the moon Goddess already paired us, you're my mate" he said trying to pull me away from Jason but too late as my hand found it's way to his cheek landing him a very hot slap.

"You can't be my mate, I don't want you as my mate" I could see the sadness in his eyes, like he was pleading but I don't care.

"I Vanessa Lancelot Carson, reject you Romeo Anderson Rivera as my mate".

"Aarrrggghh, noooooo, please Vanessa don't do this to please aaaarrrgghhh" he screamed like he was burning inside.

END OF FLASH BACK

Now I know how it felt to be rejected, will Romeo forgive me? Will he take me back? I don't think so, I don't even know where he is right now.

"We are here" the taxi driver interrupted my thought.

Tho, I don't even know where we are but I quickly stepped down and starts walking towards the woods, I'm so confused, I would have just ran into the woods from my house.

I think this is what you get for loving someone who ain't your mate or doesn't love you.

While running into the woods, I had this feeling of someone tracing me.

I quickly turned, looking behind me but there was no one there.

I guess it was just my imagination.

I faced my front and continued racing into the woods.

But that feeling kept coming back.

"Someone is after me, but who could that be, cause none of my household knows I'm here.

Oh Goddess, please protect me fr the rogues, I can't afford being chased by them, I don't wanna loose my life not at this young age, might be heartbroken but I don't wanna die now.

I stopped abruptly, I guess I took the spy unaware, giving him or her no time to hid.
