Asona's POV
“It's my birthday, and I do not want to meet anyone. I'm also not cancelling any plans I made”
I screamed, hitting my fist on the desk in front of me, anger coursing through me.
“I said no.”
Jako bellowed, his eyes flashed Amber, the eye colour of his wolf.
“It's high time you stopped fooling around and settled down with a mate.”
His wolf was just at the surface. I wasn't deterred by that.
“I'm fine as I am”
“As an Omega?”
His eyes softened, and his tone lowered.
“You know you could improve your status by mating with someone with a good rank. And that's what I'm trying to do for you”
“As your father, I only want what's good for you”
“What's good for me?”
My eyes stung from the unshed tears as I reflected on the hypocritical words he had just spurn from his mouth
“Yet you deranked me to Omega. Just because I do not have a wolf, even though I am of Alpha blood?”
An angry tear escaped despite my efforts to hold it in.
“It wasn't just my decision, baby. I could not go against the pack. I didn't make the rules.”
He moved towards me, his face a mask of guilt.
“Don't touch me”
A strangled shriek that I didn't recognise escaped my throat.
“You chose your pack over me. So go lead your pack. As for my life, you have no say in it. I'll never falter in my duties, Alpha.”
I gave a mocking bow
“Now if my Alpha excuses me, I have done all my duties for the day, and I have a place to go”
Without waiting for my father to respond, I turned on my heels and raced towards the door.
I didn't spare him as much as a glance before storming out of the house, the loud thud of the door echoing through the woods.
“Are you okay?”
My friend at the driver's wheel asked with a pitiful glance as I slipped into the passenger seat.
“Yeah, are you?”
The redhead at the back seat chipped in
“I'm fine”
I said, turning to look at the window.
Townsy glanced at me through the corner of her eyes from time to time while majorly keeping her focus on the road.
“We'll be trying another club tonight. If it's okay with you, Sonny”
She finally spoke, breaking the heavy silence in the car
“Where do you have in mind?”
My voice came off as uninterested.
“You'll see”
She grinned widely
“Okay”
I gave a nonchalant shrug of my shoulders.
I could trust Townsy with anything.
“Thank you Tee”
I gave her a grateful squeeze of the hand.
“It's nothing Sonny”
She flashed me the most beautiful smile.
Shaya hummed a rhythmless song behind us. That was her own way of reminding us that she was still with us.
“Shaya honey. I'm grateful you came through for me”
I gave her my best smile.
“It's fine Asona” She returned my smile, her not so regular dentition surfacing.
One day, I would convince her to use braces, definitely not today, though.
