You Are Bad Luck

Layla's POV.

Following him didn't ease my worry, or weariness of him, I could sense the danger just by walking close to him, I slipped my hands away from his and he scoffed walking ahead, I joined him, still terrified of what he was up to, but ready to follow my mate to where he'll take me.

For once everything was going as planned, I didn't suffer excessively for no reason, I now had a mate who didn't reject me.

"Thank you." I said to the moon goddess.

"For what?" My mate replied and I looked up, he was watching me with weary eyes.

"I wasn't talking to you." I said softly and he nodded, turning away from me.

His action made me feel series of emotions, it felt like he wanted me and didn't as well, like he was upset with me as well.

We walked untill we reached the big walls I saw earlier, he paused at the gate, which was a very large iron gate.

"Is this your pack?" I asked, the curiosity was killing me.

"Yes, it's my pack." He replied walking in as the gates opened, I saw the guard bow to him and I frowned wondering who he was, though the energy he gave off was that of an alpha, it wouldn't surprise me if this was the alpha king.

It was late at night and the lights in the pack were lit up. I took in how large it was inside and I felt like it was bigger but I had just seen half of it.

"Come with me." He said and I snapped out of it, I was lost with the admiration I had for the pack.

I followed him as he entered a corridor, he pressed the wall and a door opened, I gasped in shock, and he dragged me in as I squealed.

"This is my room." He said and I blushed, I don't know why but I felt self conscious once he told me it was his room, I looked around trying to see as he didn't turn on the lights yet.

He turned on the lights and I looked around the room, the word magnificent wasn't enough to describe it, it was really large, I blushed when I noticed the large bed.

He had about three chandeliers, and the walls were painted like the color of his eyes.

I looked around the room and realized it has many doors inside, I wonder where it led to.

"I have sweatpants and sweatshirts, you can shower, or have a bath and change into them, then I'll find clothes for you later." He said and I nodded.

It felt like a dream, that I was here, and with a mate who liked me, though I wasn't sure if he did yet, he stared at me guardedly like I was something he didn't want to associate with.

"Do you like me as your mate?" I was unable to help myself.

"Why are you asking?" He shot back.

"Because I need to know if I'll stay here, or if I will find a way for an exit." I said and he sighed.

"I don't like you as a mate, you seem cold, and you're not that strong." He said and my heart clenched.

"But I won't reject you, that's a stupid thing to do,I'll just let you become stronger, everyone improves." He said and I sighed.

This was weird, I didn't know what to say when he said that, once again, I had a mate who didn't want me, but didn't want to reject me either. I was really unlucky, I shook my head looking around wondering which of the doors led to the bathroom.

"The bathroom is that way." He said and I nodded, opening the door immediately.

I stripped immediately, entering the bathtub. I have never gotten this type of luxury. I decided to enjoy it to the fullest, though I didn't feel happy. My mate didn't like me, but he didn't want to reject me either.

"You were so happy when you mentioned his name, but he's just a jerk." I said to my wolf.

"He's good, he's your mate, he'll take care of you." My wolf said and I scoffed.

"More like ignore me." I replied and it went quiet.

I dried myself and I stepped out to the bathroom and found him lying on the bed facing the other way and I sighed, feeling tired of all this already.

I wondered why the moon goddess gave me another mate that would act this way.

I saw the sweatpant and the sweatshirt he kept for me, I took them back to the bathroom and changed immediately. I climbed the bed and I felt him stiffen. I knew he wasn't asleep, but I was sleepy, so I faced the other way.

"This is what I get for being so unlucky." I muttered, closing my eyes hoping sleep would come.

*********

"You're bad luck." My father hit me and I winced wondering what I did.

"You shouldn't exist, you'll kill everyone." He spat locking me in the cupboard.

I couldn't breathe, I couldn't see, everywhere was dark, I screamed calling for him, crying, wishing my mom would come save me, yet I didn't see anyone. I cried till I lost my voice.I sat there in the darkness wishing I wouldn't be treated this way anymore.

**********

I couldn't breathe for a while and I stood up breathing hard, I looked around the room and it felt very unfamiliar, like I was back in the cupboard again, and my father locked me out, but this time it was bright, it wasn't as dark as the cupboard.

I looked around again, this wasn't the basement I was used to, I was sleeping on large king sized bed alone, I didn't see anyone here. Leaning back on the bed I sniffled the pillow and his delicious scent filled my nostrils, then I remembered how I came here and found a new mate, I stood up looking around, I didn't know how to leave, it felt like I was locked in, and I hated feeling stuffy.
