TAMING THE PLAYBOY ALPHA - Chapter 130: Chapter 130

The week flies by like a breeze, a soft gentle one with the sweetest memories that I will forever hold closest to my heart.
I'm yet to tell Silas about everything like the hypocrite I am.
Countless times I'd walk up to him or drag him to a corner to speak my mind, but then he'd kiss my forehead and look down at me so sweetly that knowing I'm about to ruin that precious smile has me second guessing if I should in fact say something.
Days passed till today, my finally chance at saying something to him. I can't miss it.
Ii need to tell him today.
Knowing this fact has me waking up on the worst side of bed today.
I groan tossing and turning and it takes a few minutes for me to accept that my body won't be able to fall into deep slumber again today so I stand up.
First thing I notice is Xena's absence.
It's a Saturday morning so we're not having any classes and yet she had already gotten up and dressed her bed up?
I don't dwell too much on it thinking probably she's just out doing something and will be back so, so I decide to brush and have my bath in the meantime.
I grab my toiletries and head to the bathroom, squeezing out some tooth paste before I begin my morning routine of.
I'm brushing in front of a mirror staring at my reflection. Initially I had been terrified of going even close to one but today I'm unaffected, maybe because I had slowly began to accept my situation.
I gargle and bend my head low to spit. Once I'm up again the imagine in the mirror changes and it's not just me looking back anymore.
I sigh now wiping my lips with my towel.
I can't say I wasn't expecting him to show up today.
"You ungrateful rat." He begins with a morning greeting, cold and harsher than the usual with an even more unwelcoming glare that could burn into my skull.
I ignore him pulling out my floss and sticking it between my teeth
"You have only hours left for you to change your mind and bring me the necklace." He reminds me like I don't understand the situation I'm in.
Like I don't know this fairytale is about to come to an end
"If you haven't figured it out yet I won't be doing any of that." I say dryly focusing and getting my teeth as clean as possible.
"You have your whole life ahead of you, a bright future where you can reach out and grasp anything, I could offer you more things than just being an alpha wolf." He begins his bargain again, enticing me with sweet words as he had done on our first encounter.
I'm already done with all that.
"I'm done lying to the people I love for selfish gain. A plus is that I would be rid of you." I say
"They're going to lock you up one they find out the truth. Each of them are going to turn on you and rat you out, that the true nature of humans."
I take a pause at his words looking at my refection. No matter how cynical they are there is some truth in them. Only imagining the look on their faces has me terrified and almost considering giving in.
"If that happens then I guess I deserve it." I respond.
I like everyone else would pay for dancing with the devil but he of course doesn't like my response.
The swirling purple changes to fire, raging fire pouring out of his eye sockets that seem alive and dangerous, seeking to escape from the mirror and jump at me.
I take a step back almost feeling the heat.
"You ingrate! You think you can take advantage of my mercy? I made you what you are. The only reason you are able to so confidently walk about this walls is because of me. I will make you regret this!"
I'm already done with this conversation and pick up my towel again wrapping it round my fist and giving him my last farewell response.
"You will be unbound from me and whatever plot you were trying to use me to fulfill won't happen so no, you can't make me regret anything."
"You wench!"
I smash my fist into the glass chattering it into a million pieces before he can go on with his rants from not having his way this time around and breath heavily looking down at each piece.
It feels so good to finally do that without being scared of a repercussions.
I've wanted to do that for so long.
Despite the constant threats in his words, today is my last day so I might as well make it count somehow. I want to spend it with everyone.
After my bath I head back to my room and Xena's still missing from the room so I pick up my phone to call her but then I see a message left on my phone fifteen minutes ago.
Meet me at the school garden.
P.S, dress pretty. XOXO
My immediate thought is that she's prepared another picnic for the both of us once I read through it again and again.
I might just add some drugs to aid digestion as well.
I pick out a comfy nude pink sun dress from my wardrobe and back my hair up in this tiny bun before heading out.
The walk is not so long but I distract myself along the way enjoying the whipping breeze and just being content with everything around me.
For the longest time I've been trying so had to be everything I wanted to be and ignoring the things that I actually arm, my own strengths that make me stand out, my imperfects that make me utterly unique. I want to have relationships and friends being simple
Freya alpha or not, I want to love Silas as myself and not this persona I've created to match what I've always been made to think like I should be. Stepping into the garden it seems empty with no one in sight, not even a mat or a basket around which is weird.
At first I think she probably hasn't gotten here yet, but as I sit on the bench two bodies jump out from behind the bushes yelling.
"Surprise!"
Startled I jump up falling down the bench onto my knees suddenly.
The explosion of laughter follows through and when I look up I see Xena and Lucas laughing their asses off.
"See, I told you she'd fall for it." Lucas says in between his fits while clutching unto his aching belly. "This never works on Silas so it's a breath of fresh air."
Xena finally steps closer helping me to my feet.
"What's going on?" I asked this jittery and confused looking between the two of them.
Instead of a response they're both smiling ear to ear and Lucas steps closer even further pulling me into a hug and lifting me off my feet in the process while swinging me left and right.
"Happy birthday Freya." Lucas says softly placing me back onto my feet and I'm even more confused than before
"Is it my birthday?"
"No, it's tomorrow, but we decide to plan like a pre- birthday surprise for you." Xena explains taking my hand in hers.
Even with the explanation and still dumfounded and taken aback. Not in a million years would I have expected any of this.
"Wait you really didn't know that it's tomorrow?"
Lucas speaks up finally after watching my expression for a while, raising his eyebrows.
"Well I don't keep it stored in the back of my mind." I say to him shaking my head.
There was no need to do any of this and it's not even my birth day yet, so why?
I turn to Xena now.
"You didn't need to do this." "Nonsense. You've already been through so much and we just wanted to show you that we see you and love you." she squeezes my hand tighter to comfort me probably already guessing the thoughts running through my head.
"I'm here for the free dessert." Lucas state plainly.
I look back to him glaring for interrupting my discussion with Xena, but he simply shrugs.
She laughs leaning closer to my ears to whisper. "Don't listen to Lucas, he sees and loves you too it was his idea to do this while Silas and I put it together but he has a hard time being emotional." She giggles as quietly as she can looking back at him
"Hey, I can hear you!" He announces but we both ignore him again.
"Silas is here too? Where is he." I ask now looking around for him remembering the discussion we need to have.
I hadn't seen him jumping out of a bush and im sure he isn't hiding somewhere either. "Right behind you." His voice filters into my mind.
I swerve round too quickly to see him walking into the garden with a box of cupcakes in his hand. He's dressed super casually in a baggy shirt and basketball shorts and hair sleeked back. I know I sa him yesterday but everyday feels like I haven't seen him in ages. My heart is suddenly overwhelmed with so many emotions and I run up to him desperately before the tears can begin running down my eyes.
He catches me easily with his free hand pulling me tighter into his warm embrace before dropping a string kiss atop my forehead.
"You guys didn't have to do this." I mutter against his shirt clutching onto him desperately.
That feeling of completeness takes over each time I hold him like this.
"I did, you deserve a whole lot more." He whispers pulling apart to see my face.
He cups it in his hands smiling so sweetly at me that I can feel his love emanating from him. My confidence to confess to him dries out so fast like a well in a desert and I can't say anything more. "Silas, bring the cakes over here!" Lucas yells over to him from behind pulling his attention away for only a second.
"Sure." He responds raising the box up to be seen.
In the second he looks away all I can think about are all my fears resurfacing quickly and the words he had said... 'you deserve a whole lot more'. "No I don't." I whisper under my breath.
