395-Sometimes Sweet, Mostly Bitter?

 

"What did you say?" Corbin shook his head as if he was not sure if he heard me correctly, but then he placed a hand on his chest as he felt the mate bond shaking.

"You rejected me?" he grimaced, tilting his head and fixing an angry glare on my face. I was hesitant and afraid of his reaction, but then the counselors started to walk out after sorting out everything for the night. I felt like it was my chance to leave.

"Alpha King Corbin. I know you must be hurting, but justice is what we cannot look away from," the old man started having a word with him while he looked distracted. I could tell he was thinking of a million ways to kill the old man who was stopping him from coming after me.

I sprinted out of there and reached the bus stop in a few minutes. I was out of breath, panting, and breathing with difficulty. The instant the bus arrived, I climbed into it. It was odd that Lazio didn’t come to pick me up.

"Ah!" I sighed, holding a hand to my chest, and felt miserable. I hated it. I was not used to this life. Even when I didn't have my powers, I used to fight and take a stand for myself. I knew back then that somehow I would survive, but it was completely different this time. If anything attacks me, I will not heal.

I figured it would be a good way to keep myself motivated and keep going, even when life seems so boring now.
