Chapter 045
Akira's POV
I rest my head lazily on the headrest in Casper's car while my hand goes to my face, as the incident at the club replayed in my head, it didn't cross my mind that, I was going to be the cause of the scene created at the club, I never expected Wolfie's reactions, maybe, he loves me and my actions are driving him nuts. I shake my head, Wolfie can't love, he said he doesn't love me, he is only acting possessive because his ego is bruised, seeing me with his friend, I don't even know what to refer to the relationship he had with Casper, "are you alright?" Casper asked, dragging me from my thoughts, I gave him a weak look.
"I am fine..." I said after taking a deep breath, "... I am sorry, I didn't mean to make Wolfie attack you."
"It's fine, it's not your fault, I caused it, and I wouldn't have brought you there, I didn't know that Logan would be mad seeing you with me and I didn't think he would want to stake his claim on you even after break up. You should stay away from him, he is a dangerous man." I tilted my head to him. Calling him a dangerous man, that is when I realized that there were these strange words that they were using, 'alpha?'
"Why did you call him Alpha?" He parted his lips to say something but his phone rang, "Oh, I guess I should get down now, so you could leave." I said since we were right in front of Vida's apartment.
"Sure, I will let you rest and I apologize for the outburst of today."
"It's fine..." I interrupted him.
"Since our first day had been ruined, would you like to go to the cinema with me?"
"Casper, I don't think it's a good idea, for..."
"Please, if you refuse my offer, that means you are indirectly saying that you are mad at me for bringing you to..."
"It's fine, I will go, just inform me when and I will be available," I said pulling the door of his car, as I walked into the building. I fight so hard not to cry today, it's never my thing, but I was slowly turning into a crybaby, all because of that punk. I scoffed pushing the door.
When I opened the door, the expression on my face was enough to tell that the date turned out to be disastrous, Vida just pulled me into a hug and wrapped her hand around me.
"How did it go?" She asked freeing me.
"Disastrous, he rejected me, he told me to my face that he doesn't fucking love me." My face crumpled.
"What does he mean he doesn't love you? Is he blind or something, didn't he see how beautiful you are? I think he is gay." I look at Vida, is she trying to make me feel better?
"He is not gay, he just doesn't love me, I am not pretty..."
"Shut the fuck up, you are super hot and if he doesn't like you, is his loss. Sorry for pushing you to him, there are so many nice guys out there, Just forget about that ugly duckling..."
"He is not ugly, he is handsome..." I admitted, Vida's eyes bulging, as she stared at me, inching for more details. I had no choice but to tell her that he was not the monster that everyone assumed he was.
"Really? So why is he hiding under a mask?" I shrugged falling on the couch while my eyes moved to the ceiling.
"Vida, what should I do to make him love me and why is it so difficult for him to love me, is it because they call him, Alpha?" Vida choked as she jumped from the dining area.
"What did you just call him?" I look at her. "Did you say he is an Alpha? Like a werewolf?"
"Idiot, what are you saying? Hope you are not trying to bring those fantasy life into reality..."
"C'mon Akira, they are not fantasy, they are real, so don't ever think that they don't exist they do..." I tittered at my precious Vida's outrageous thoughts, I shook my head, excess watching of movies and fantasy novel
"Stop joking around Vida? You are getting crazier as the day passes by, you really going deep into those cheesy werewolf romance novels..."
"Akira, I am not joking, they are real not just fantasy, in the werewolf world, they have, the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and omega. The alpha are their leader, the king, so if..." My lips curved into lopsided smiles, watching Vida spur out those words and as she continued speaking I couldn't help but burst into laughter, "What's funny?"
"You Vida, stop your nonsense before you end up going crazy. Werewolves? Bullshit? Those are baddies that Nollywood and writers made up to increase their creative skills and get people to watch for recreation..."
"Listen to me for once Akira, maybe, you should read one of those books that carry the history of werewolves, vampires..." I laughed harder as I shook my head trying hard to control myself, "Stop laughing, it's not funny..."
"Of course, you are funny and I just can't stop laughing."
"Here, maybe, you should read, it will help convince you." Vida stretched out a book to me, I looked at her. "go on and take it." She urges me.
"Leave me alone, I am not interested."
"You..." Her words didn't finish when my phone rang. I pulled up my phone to check the caller, I frowned.
"Who is it? Casper?" Vida asked, I shook my head, pushing the screen to her front. "Your Mother, why is she calling again?"
"I don't know?" I shrugged picking up the call without saying anything.
"You this accurse child, where the heck are you?" Mother yelled from the other side of the phone.
"Mother please, stop bossing me, you asked me to leave and I have done that already, so what is the big deal."
"I thought you left but that doesn't relieve you from your duties to me and your sister, you owe us."
"I owed you and your daughter nothing." Mother laughed wickedly.
"So you think. You still owe me, for caring for you for the past sixteenth years and you have only proved to be a daughter for just two years, which means you still have fifteen years to pay me, so get your ass back to the house, I need to talk to you right now and God knows if you don't show up here in the next fifteen minutes, then you should as well forget about your necklace. I am going to pawn it."
"No Mother..."
"Yes, I am going to pawn it, if you don't come here right now." I parted my lips to argue with Mother but she ended the call before I could say anything.
"Fuck..." I curse, grabbing my bag.
"Wait, are you seriously going to meet your Mom, she is cunning, what if she does something bad to you."
"Relax, I don't think she will do anything bad to me, I guess she just wanted money. I will give it to her and get my necklace."
"I don't..."
"Hey, relax, she is still my mother and I can't leave that necklace, I don't know, I just feel so connected to that necklace even though I don't know how I got it, I have been wearing it all my fucking life..." I told Vida but it's like she didn't like the idea of me going to Mother. "I will be fine..."
"Maybe, I should go with..."
"No, I will call you, if anything comes up."
"Fine, be careful..." She said before bidding me goodbye, it didn't take long before arriving at Mother's.
"I thought the worthless daughter of an whore couldn't come," Linda said pulling the door.
