Chapter 3 They ruined it

I called Vada and told her that we need to meet near the border. At first, she refused but I forced her to come. I was walking inside the woods and keeping myself low-key.

"Why are we here?" Vada asked me when we met each other near the border. "I already told you, I need to get my bike. My father gave it to me as a gift and it was the only gift I received from him." I answered and she looked at me with pity. "Don't look at me like that!" I added and she looked away. "Fine, but we need to be quick or else they will catch us entering their land." Vada said and I nodded my head. "I already know that. Let's go!" I told her and we started walking.

Vada will be my lookout while I was getting my bike from the Ethereals' land. I entered their land and went back to where I put my bike. I was scanning the area but I couldn't see my bike, where the hell did it go?

"Faster, Caoimhe!" Vada told me but I couldn't find what I was looking for. "I can hear them walking towards us." Vada added and I took a deep breath. I tried to find it again but it was gone. I went back to Vada and she looked worried about me. "You didn't find it?" She asked me and I nodded my head. "Maybe someone got it." I answered and she patted my shoulder. "We can look for it some other time." She said and smiled at me.

Before the sentinels reached our place, we ran away using our wolf form. I will find my bike and I can't afford to lose it. I reached our home and I saw mom walking in our garage.

"Where did you go, young lady?" She asked me even though she couldn't see me. "I went to Vada and we just hung out." I answered and went straight to my room. I don't have the energy to leave my room right now.

My mom called me to eat our dinner and she would get mad at me if I told her that I don't want to eat so I went downstairs to grab my dinner.

"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" She asked me when she noticed that I barely moved. "Nah, I'm fine!" I answered and mom put a plate filled with food in front of me. "You look not fine so tell me what happened." She said and she sat in front of me. I didn't want to tell her that I entered the land of Ethereal's pack so I will just make a story. "I lost my favorite bracelet but I couldn't find it." I told mom and she nodded her head. "I will buy you a new one so stop being upset now." She said and I smiled at her. No mom, you can't buy a new one of what I lost.

I am done eating my dinner and I went back to my room. I was thinking about how I can find my bike there. I shouldn't cross the border and if someone sees me, they will bring me to their old alpha. And that boy who dragged me there, I didn't know his name but I can clearly remember his face. I will put him on my death list. They just need to wait for what I'm gonna do to them.

Weeks passed and our land became quiet again, without any intruders. I was walking towards the center to watch the training of our omegas and pubs when I saw Vada talking to Sachi. They looked at me and I immediately smiled at them.

"What are you doing here, Sachi? You don't have any classes today?" I asked her because she was still in school but she was here talking to my best friend.  "Today is the first day of our break so I want to watch how the pubs train." She answered and I nodded my head. She looked so entitled, well she was just the niece of our Beta Kaapo.  "So you are interested in that thing, huh?" I asked her and she smiled at me.  "Of course! I want to see how strong they are. I know that your batch was the strongest but we came second." She answered and Vada smiled at me.  "I guess you need to train more so you can beat us." I told her and I held Vada's arm so we could enter the center.

We saw Delta Hugo train the omegas and pubs. They looked so serious so we didn't interrupt what they were doing.

"Sachi came with her brother, Salvatore." Vada whispered to me and they both watched the training.  "They just want some attention." I told Vada and Delta Hugo to go to us.  "I heard that you entered the land of the Ethereals." Delta Hugo told me and I looked at him seriously.  "Who told you that, Delta Hugo?" I asked him.  "The elders saw you entering their land and they saw your bike." He answered and I immediately held his shoulder.  "My bike? Where is it?" I asked him again and I was desperate to know where they put my bike.  "Unluckily, wolves from Ethereals got it and I don't know where they put it." He answered and I felt dizzy for a moment.  "You didn't stop them from taking my bike?" I asked him and I felt tears in my eyes.  "I thought that it just looked like your bike." Delta Hugo answered and I lost hope with my bike. They have it now and I don't know how to get it from them.

I went back to my house and I felt weak so I lay on our couch. I was staring at the ceiling and thinking about how I could get my bike back.

"You are here! Delta Hugo told me that you paid a visit to the center." Mom said and I nodded my head. She walked towards the kitchen and I followed her.  "Mom!" I called her and she looked at me.  "Yes, young lady?" She turned to me and she was waiting for what I would say. I took a deep breath and collected some courage to tell her that I lost my bike.  "What? Spill it!" She added.  "I lost my bike and the Ethereals have it." I said while my eyes were closed. I was waiting on what she would say but she didn't say anything.

I opened my eyes and I saw my mom drinking water. She put the glass on the sink and looked at me.

"I see! That's the reason why you entered their land again?" She asked me and it made me choke even though I am not drinking anything.  "How— how did you know that, mom?" I asked her and I couldn't remember if someone caught me. "They saw you and Vada walking towards the border. Both of you don't have any reasons to be there." Mom answered and she has a point.  "But— "You are interested in being a healer, not a warrior, young lady!" Mom added and I didn't have a chance to talk.  "I want my bike back, it was the only thing that daddy gave to me." I told her and she went to me.  "I know, honey! I will talk to the old man so I can retrieve your bike." She answered and I felt happy when I heard what she said.

Mom started cooking and I went to my room. I got my phone and texted Vada about the good news. My phone rang from a call from her so I immediately answered the call.

"Hey! That's awesome to know. When will your mother get the bike back?" She asked me from the other line.  "I don't know, I will ask her later when we eat our dinner." I answered and she sounded happy.

I took a nap because it was a tiring day for me. I woke up when I felt a warm hand on my face. I saw mom walking inside my room and she was scanning the area.

"You need to throw away those old things." She told me while pointing out my father's things.  "Leave it there, mom!" I told her and she looked at me.  "Get up and we will eat our dinner." She told me and I stood up from my bed.

We went downstairs and our food was ready on the round table. Two years ago, we were three eating our meal here but now we are just two. My father died because some rouges killed him, they were jealous of what power my father had. When my father died, mom took his place and she became our female alpha.

"Eat your food, young lady!" Mom told me and I stopped spacing out.  "I'm sorry!" I told her and started eating.

The next day came and mom was all dressed because she will visit the Ethereals' land. She was watching me going downstairs and she raised her hand to stop me from talking.

"You can't come with me." She immediately told me.  "Mom! Don't be a killjoy." I told her and she just shook her head.  "My decision is final. Call Vada so you have someone to accompany you." She answered and she left.

I don't have any idea what I should do now. I wanted to go to the Ethereals but mom stopped me from doing what I wanted.

"So, you are alone?" Vada asked me as soon as she entered our house.  "Obviously! I want to do something." I told her and she sat on the couch.  "You want to grab some food with me?" She asked me and I rolled my eyes at her.  "We can eat here, what do you want to eat?" I asked her and she smirked at me.  "The perks of being the only daughter of an alpha." She told me and I smiled at her.  "Think what we should do. I'm bored!" I told her and we both stocked up on the couch.  "Let's visit Agnes!" She told me and I got up from lying.  "What? Why should we do that?" I asked her and she rolled her eyes at me.  "Duh! The last time I knew, you wanted to be the best salutary of our pack." She answered and that idea came to my mind.  "That was long ago." I told her and slammed my back onto the couch.  "Long ago? Sis, it was just two years ago. Not even a decade!" She frowned at me. The heck!  "You know the reason why I stopped my training there." I told her and she stopped nagging me.  "Yeah, I'm sorry!" She told me and we stayed quiet for a couple of minutes.

That night when rogues attacked my father, he was treated by Agnes' mother but she couldn't do anything. And at the same time, I was under Agnes' supervision and I was freaking learning how to heal our wolves. I freaking know how to heal any wounds or sickness but when it comes to my father, I couldn't heal him. What's the point of being the best healer if you can't save the life of your father?

"And you are crying again!" Vada told me and gave me some tissues.  "You started it!" I told her and she laughed at me.

We decided to watch a movie until my mom came home. When she entered the main door, I immediately welcomed her.

"So, how is it?" I asked her and she just looked at me. "His son already ruined your bike." She answered and I started freaking out.  "Wait, what? Why does he do that?" I asked her and started crying.  "He told his father that you entered their land again and they saw you entering." She answered and I started laughing.  "I was just looking for my bike. Gosh! They entered our land many times without being punished then they ruined my bike even though I just entered their land twice?" I asked mom and I sat on the couch.  "I will buy you again, honey!" She told me and I stopped her from walking towards me.  "No one can replace that bike!" I said and ran upstairs. I locked the door and lay on my bed.

Those freaking Ethereals, I will show them who they belittled!
