Vivienne point of view
Two weeks later
"Did you hear that Alpha Liam is coming to our school?", someone said.
"Oh my Gosh,I can't wait to see him," another muttered.
I paused,my hands holding a book was shaky.
'Alpha Liam,my rejected mate?'
I wanted to see him,even though we were no longer mates. Just to ask him why he rejected me without any warning whatsoever.
I tried to concentrate on the book I was reading but it was futile. My whole mind was in turmoil.
My wolf cooed inside me. She didn't want to see him at all. She was still angry with him.
After trying for a while to read,I close the book, stood up and went back to my hostel.
Camilla, one of the girls that was talking bad about me the earlier week was in the room.
The hostel room was a shared space, housing four people at the same time.
I ignored her, climbed my bed and played with my phone.
"Hi, Vivienne," a message came in.
I checked the sender,it was Patricia.
"Patricia,how are you doing?"
"I am good,how is school life treating you. I am coming to school tomorrow to see you. How is that?", she asked me.
I smiled, happy that my friend was coming to see me.
"It is fine,no problem." I responded.
We chatted about minor things and after that, a call came. I checked the number,it was an unknown number, calling. I picked up
"Vivienne," a middle aged voice said.
My lips quivered,tears eloping my eyes.
"Dad," I said,my voice filled with emotion.
"How are you doing, Vivienne? I missed you."
"I missed you too," I said. I have been away from home for a while now.
"When are you coming home? I want to see my daughter," my dad said
Something about his voice and tone made me sad. Since my mother died, my dad had refused to remarry,he was that in love with my mother.
"Dad, I would come this weekend," I said,I didn't want him to be lonely.
"Really, let me begin to prepare for your return. Should I announce it?"
"No, dad. I don't want anyone to know about my return," I said.
I was not interested in letting people know about my coming back.
We spoke for a while.
******************
Alpha Liam was here!!
The announcement was heard, informing everyone of his arrival.
I was part of the crowd, turning their heads to catch a glimpse of him. We stood up immediately and bowed to welcome him.
My breath hitched, when I saw him. He was as handsome as when I saw him last.
He sat down in a customized chair. After he sat down,we all took our seats. I wanted to crash into his tall, muscular frame.
What are you thinking? I cautioned myself.
My eyes never leaving him. I watched as they gave him papers to look at.
I stared as he was called upon to give a speech,his voice echoing through the hall.
For a moment,I felt his eyes stop at me. He saw me!
I wonder what he felt.
After his speech,we applauded him while he left.
I slipped away from the crowd and ran after him.
He was about to enter his car with his beta,then he stopped and looked at me with questioning eyes.
"Alpha Liam,I want to speak to you," I said between short breaths.
"Leave us for a moment," he told his men.
When it was only us that was there, I stared at him. It was like a staring competition until I asked him, "Why did you reject me?" My voice breaking as I remembered the incident.
"Because you are not worth it," he said,his words caused damage to my heart. Tears rolled from my eyes, my wolf also whimpered in pains. ' I was not worth it'.
I couldn't even muster any courage to ask him any more questions because I was scared of his response to me. I fled from his presence. I didn't know where I was running to but all I know was that I wanted to get rid of the heavy pains I felt.
I ran to a waterfall in our school and cried there.
When I was done,I cleaned my eyes with the water there, adjusted my dress and went back to my hostel.
Because of Alpha Liam visit, all classes were postponed till the next day.
I was in my final year. My course was a three year course. After my final examination,I will go back to my pack and take over leadership from my father.
I was going to make Alpha Liam regret ever rejecting me.
I was grateful that my identity was hidden if not Alpha Liam would have chosen me because of my family background and not because of the bond.

"Mhhhm,This food tastes so good," Patricia moaned, relishing the taste.
"If someone see you now,he will think that you have not eaten for a month now," I laughed, while eating. This food was nothing special,it tasted normal in my mouth. Just vegetables with chicken.
"I have missed the university's kitchen food. Let me tell you,most of the food outside does not taste good like this," Patricia said,still gulping the food with reckless abandon.
We finished eating and began to discuss, Patricia told me about how she has gotten a job with good pay. I was not expecting anything less from her. She was one of the brightest brains in her department.
I told her about my courses,classmates without mentioning the mate issue. I did not want her to look at me in pity. She was unaware of my real identity, I kept it hidden from her. I couldn't afford to tell people that I was the heiress of the shadow pack because they would know about my mother and our bloodline.
I cannot risk it,It will bring trouble to me especially now that I was in another pack without any protection.
