The Pack's Weirdo : A Mystery to unveil
Chapter 61 - I am pretty much awesome

Chapter 61: Chapter 61 - I am pretty much awesome

Only I know how I stopped myself from asking him about the beast... {I don’t think he is the beast. If a person has the guts to infiltrate the royal pack in the presence of the royal king and kill a person, he surely is not going to be scared of a gun.} ...

"So, you experimented on a werewolf, and no one knows about it," I asked him in fake amusement, and he smirked proudly.

"Yeah, that family has no one" he started to explain everything from the beginning to me, and I couldn’t help but feel that I am living my nightmares. He was so excited and proud about everything he did that he neither noticed my strained expressions nor saw me attacking him. I got so mad at him that I grabbed him from the neck with one hand and hoisted him up so that his feet were not even touching the ground. He is struggling hard and scratching my hand that is on his neck, but I can’t see anything but red. His face is slowly turning blue, and he is gradually losing consciousness. Suddenly someone pushed me hard, and I fell to the floor along with that scumbag Wilson, but I didn’t lose my hold on his neck... {He is not going to go alive from this office today}

"Leave him, Aadhya," I heard Ben’s voice, and someone grabbed my hand and tried to remove it from his neck. "Ansh, give me that fucking shirt from that bag, or she will kill him". I could hear commotion around me, but the only thing I know is that this man needed to get killed. Suddenly the familiar scent of Ryan invaded my nostrils, and I looked around frantically. Ben removed my hand from Wilson’s throat and stood between us with Ryan’s shirt in his hand. He extended it towards me, and I deeply breathed his scent to calm my nerves. "Only his death can calm me," I gritted and lunged at him, but Ben grabbed me in between.

Someone came behind me and grabbed me tightly, and I growled at everyone in the room while Wilson was lying unconscious on the floor, "You dare to stop me."

"Shut up," Ben shouted at me and released his aura. The people who were holding me released me and bared their necks to him, but his command didn’t affect me... {If that’s the only way to kill him, then I will do the exact thing}. I closed my eyes and mustered all my energy.

"Get out of my way" Ben gritted his teeth and his eyes were wide in shock. He bared his neck towards me and fell to his knees. I went towards the unconscious Wilson and took my gun.

"Don’t do this, Aadhya," I heard Ben’s strained voice from behind. "Ending a life is not only about a single person. Please don’t do that" I turned towards him, and for a flash of a second, I saw the scene of the day when Chandra was lying dead on the ground and Ben was sitting beside her dead body, kneeling while hugging the king... {What am I doing? From when I started considering myself so almighty that I started using the command to kill someone}. I went towards Ryan’s shirt that I had thrown before and started taking deep breaths. After a few minutes, I calmed myself and imagined myself taking all the energy outside my body. When I opened my eyes again, everyone was normal and looking at me with shocked expressions.

"I..." I didn’t know what to say. I just commanded an alpha wolf and made things messier for myself... {Not my mistake, though. I stopped myself from killing Wilson, and that is more of an achievement.}

"You should go and vent your anger on some punching bag," Ben suggested, and I agreed without wasting a single second.

"Don’t let him go from here. I knew you didn’t cut the call and heard our complete conversation. He is dangerous for every person that will come in his proximity." He nodded at this, and I went to the floor where the gym and medics were. Everyone seemed to know me here as I got many warm smiles and hi. I tried to look calm and replied to them with a smile.

*************************************************************

A week later -

It’s been a week that I have been suffering day and night from those super painful nightmares, and there is no one to help me out. I tried everything that I could, but nothing helped. Even Ryan’s scent also failed in front of those nightmares. Everything that Wilson did with that werewolf family is so gruesome that I cannot forget even a tiny detail about it. Whenever I think about it, I feel like I am the one he tortured. If he had not clarified that the wolf that he experimented on was a male wolf and the time when he experimented was the time when I was not even born, then I should have believed that I was the one whom he experimented on.

Nothing is helping me in getting rid of those heart-wrenching imaginations that my brain is automatically doing on its own. Ryan called me daily, and I knew that he knew that there was something that was bothering me much, but he never forced me to talk with him. It’s the same in his case, too. I know that he is facing some very serious issues there. Many times, every day, I feel some emotions very fiercely that are not mine. When I asked Ben, he clarified that those are Ryan’s emotions, and as he had accepted me, I could also feel those emotions until Ryan closed the mental bond between us.

Matt, Mia, and Jack are very busy, as their work is tripled without Layla, Ellon, and Ryan. Ryan specifically told them to raise the security of the pack because it is very likely for the pack to be attacked when its alpha is out for some work... and if we talk about dee, then I am thrilled that he is finally learning to mind-link from reed. He mind-links me every day and tells me about his day, but I can’t reply to him as I am a human. When Anshuman said to me that Dee could mind link me only because his wolf was extremely connected with me, I was on cloud nine.

I was sitting in Ryan’s hidden room right now, trying to divert my mind from any thought related to those experiments. I have played the guitar for some time, and I am still not feeling tired enough to lie down a little. So, I got up and went outside the house. I love the nights... {you love a certain knight a lot more than these nights} ... I don’t know why my conscience is so eager to make me remember that I needed to think and do something about Ryan’s matter soon... {hey, you didn’t deny that you didn’t love him this time} ... because I can’t run away from reality, I do love him... {then accept him and tell Ethan that you have already found your mate. That guy is making me sick} ... I am not going to tell anyone until I accept Ryan... {and when are you going to do that?} ... When the time will be right?... {just do it before we die} ... I swear this conscience of mine is becoming increasingly taunting. I reached the gym and went inside the locker room. After that, I changed my clothes and went to the workout area. As I stepped inside, Ethan’s scent invaded my nostrils, and I groaned in irritation.

No one was in the gym as it was 2:00 am, so Ethan was working out and only wearing shorts. I went to the opposite side... {I am only interested in Ryan’s abs now}

"Hey, addy" I rolled my eyes and heard Ethan’s footsteps running towards me.

"Hi"

"Can we talk?" It is the same question he has been asking me since he came here. I gave up and looked at him.

"Say it," he was shocked by this, "Don’t act surprised. You are the one who wanted to talk with me. Tell me whatever you wanted to tell, and then don’t bother me more." I knew I was harsh, but he had been more brutal with me.

"Can you give me another chance? I know that the mate bond is severed between us. That’s why we don’t feel those sparks or the same attraction as before, but we are mates." I didn’t give him any reaction, and he continued, "It’s not only about me. Think about yourself. You always wanted to be a part of the world you grew up in, and finally, you are getting a chance to be accepted here"... {Is he trying to pursue me or make me madder at him?} ... "Don’t think negatively. I am just counting the logical factors for both of us. If we accept each other, we can get what we always want. You will get what you always wanted, and I will also get what I want"... {yeah, yeah. I know... to be the alpha of blue moon pack} ... "And there is no need to deny that there was a time when you used to like me a lot"... {seems like he knew about your little infatuation about him} ... "Let’s go home, addy," he said softly, and I took a deep breath.

"I heard everything you said. Now, I want you to not only listen but understand what I am saying, ok?" I asked him, and he opened his mouth to say something, but I cut him off. "First, mate bond is not severed between us. It was already broken a long time ago; that’s why we don’t feel attraction towards each other at all" he again opened his mouth, and I again cut him off.

"Second, I no longer want to be someone that I am not. Whether someone accepts me or not, I have accepted myself, and truth be told, I am pretty much awesome." I couldn’t help but smile proudly. "I accept that when we were teenagers, I used to have a crush on you because, let’s accept that you were good-looking, and alpha Borns always attract people attraction... this is in their blood" he looked relieved by hearing this ", but your bullying made me lose interest in you within a month, and after that, I never wanted to like you. When you rejected me, you gave me the reason to stay far away from you. Now I don’t want you as my mate."

"But..."

"And unlike you, I am very clear about my decisions. I knew you wanted to be the alpha of the blue moon pack, and without getting your mate, you can’t take that position over, so I suggest you talk with alpha Ryan about this. He will surely find some solution for you," I told him, and I had already lost my mood for exercising. "I am going now."

"You don’t understand, Aadhya. Stella has already left me because she found her mate; no other wolf will be going to accept me as her chosen mate when they will know that I have rejected you. I didn’t have much choice than to plead with you," he shouted in irritation, which made me angry... {damn this anger. Why am I becoming angry about these teeny tiny issues?}

"Did you want me to be mad at you or kick your ass or give some very cool bruises to your face, or worse, do you want me to kick you on your family jewels. The last thought is implementable, but I don’t want to end the family tree of alpha Aiden." I didn’t know why I said this all, but when Ethan fell on his butt, I finally noticed that my silver knife was pointed toward him, and a lot of energy was flowing in my veins. I took it back quickly and extended my hand toward him. "Can you please don’t do something that will not make me do something stupid?" I asked him, and he was still looking startled.

"Why do you still have silver knives when you are not even the warrior of the pack?" he asked me.

"These are called safety precautions. Talk with alpha ben about your problem of becoming the alpha of the blue moon pack, and don’t try to force me or talk with me again in this matter. I already have someone I love." the last sentence made him smirk.

"Loving him will not do you any good. He is not even accepting his long-time girlfriend because he wanted to wait for his mate, so there is no chance he will even be interested in you" I gave him a tight-lipped smile.

"Thank you for enlightening me with the information" I turned and walked out of the gym, and he again followed me. "What do you want now?" I asked him in irritation.

"You didn’t deny that you love him," he stated, and I rolled my eyes.

"Because you were right, I indeed love him," I told him confidently and continued walking towards the house.

"Stop, Aadhya," he called me from behind, and his nagging was actually making me madder.

"What the hell did you want now?" I asked him and turned towards him.

"If you don’t need to give me a chance, then it’s alright, but there is no need to live in false hope. I know you will not accept it, but I care about you. You were once my friend. That’s why I am saying this." He looks genuinely worried now.

"I am not placing my hopes on him. I am happy with my one-sided love" he nodded, and we walked silently for a few minutes. "How are the things in the blue moon pack?" I asked him, and he took a deep breath.

"All the ranking wolves have mixed feelings about me being an alpha. Mr. Black even gave up his rank." this really shocked me... {Layla didn’t tell me about this} ... "They are waiting for Beth to find her mate, and after that, they will leave our pack."

"And that’s all because you rejected your mate?" I can’t help asking.

"No, this is all because I rejected the girl, they consider their daughter. They didn’t think I was worthy enough," he explained, and I nodded.

"They are right though" He didn’t say anything on this, "So who is new delta."

"Remember the guy who had been the best warrior of our pack" I nodded at this. "He is our new delta. Greyson or grey," he told me, and suddenly something clicked in my mind...

"Grey is not just a colour..." I couldn’t help but mumble in surprise, "Damn, gramma, your stupid puzzles. Can’t you give some information like normal people for even once?
