Chapter 0011
Sara looked scared as she rushed towards a beat-up Hyundai. She started to open the door when she froze. Her senses must've told her that someone was watching because she turned around abruptly. Thank Goddess for the large pickup truck driving past sluggishly. She would've seen me across the road. What if she did? I asked myself. I discarded that line of thought when I couldn't think of an excuse.
Someone called out her name as soon as the truck passed by. Her attention shifted to the entrance of her office building. A half-blood female rushes towards her, saying things. What is this place? Half-blood country? There must be more of them than the two I've seen today. Minutes later, Sara pulls her car out the council's driveway, and I follow behind, tailing her to Goddess-knows-where. My phone rang. It was Jake, as suspected.
"You've been gone for hours, alpha," he said.
"Is there something urgent to deal with?" I asked impatiently, turning the corner after the old car in front of me.
"No good can come from this, Nick. Did you forget how you both parted ways? I thought you've moved on. Think of the mess this can cause if someone from the pack sees you right now," he urged. "Someone from the pack HAS seen me. You should practice what you preach and stop following me!"
"What do you plan to achieve from stalking your ex-lover?" His tone held frustration.
"I'm hanging up, beta!" I ended the call.
A strong sense of dejavu overcame me as my eyes fixed on Sara's car ahead. I've done this so many times in the past. Long before I approached her with that sex contract. Not just following her about unnoticed but also perching beside the tree across the field from her dorm, sitting by my library window at the mansion, waiting for her to walk by to the cottage she shared with her father. I couldn't count how many times.
It felt like nothing had changed at all, even though nothing was the same. Four years, six months, and three days have passed since I laid eyes on her. But she was still Sara James. The girl who offered herself to me without even reading my terms.
How ecstatic I'd felt that day, telling myself that she wanted me just as much. Never mind the fact that she was bound to me by the mate bond. None of that mattered now. The past was gone.
She no longer looked at me like she used to. Which is good for everyone. Me, my pack, my family, and our empire. So why was I here? Why was I following her?
"I've got free time, that's why," I muttered into the silence of the car.
Sara suddenly pulled over in front of a lone palm tree. I was too distracted to slow down soon enough that I had to zoom past her. Pulling over a few feet ahead, I checked my rearview to see if she noticed. The half-blood female got out of the car, waving her bye. Seconds later, Sara joined the road again. As soon as she drove past me, I cut in right behind her.
Jake was right. This was pointless. No good could come from it. If only I could help it. At some point, I'd thought I would never see her again, and that was a relief. Except I've spent the last four years dreaming about her. Fantasizing about her sweet, soft body. Hearing her call out my name at nights in my sleep.
I've spent all those times secretly wondering where she ended up. If she eventually got her college diploma. I've battled with nightmares that she was now married to a human male and living a quiet, peaceful life somewhere. After all, most omega females end up that way. At least, I've found out this morning that she isn't married. Not that it mattered. I just have to know how she's been living.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
I gave some space between our cars so I could stop in time when she did. Before long, there were two cars in front of me before hers. A few meters from where she dropped her friend, she pulled over on the curb of a school.
