Call of freedom (rewriting-slow updates)
Chapter 10

Alexia's POV

My head snapped to the door as someone knocked. Fear surged my body as I clutched to Amanda's blouse for dear life; I was too afraid to be 10 feet away from Landon let alone the same room.

Due to my extreme terror, I barely felt Amanda's hand patting my back and hugging me close. "Shush...it's okay. It's all gonna be okay, I'm not gonna let him near you..."

She tried her best to soothe my fear but it made my wolf somehow uneasy.

Cara was furious and upset at our mate.

Yes, she always wanted to push me to have him mark me but she never wanted us to be marked like that...she was a little afraid to my surprise.

She was an emotional swing; since we were marked she was either afraid or angry...So when Amanda said that she won't let him near us, Cara was both uneasy at the thought of staying away from her dear mate yet she was angry at him; she retreated to the back of my mind...

Amanda’s voice caught me back from my thoughts,

"Come in." She said. I thought that my mate would be the one who enters but to say that I was surprised was the least to say; a teenage girl maybe 15 entered the room holding a tray.

She was absolutely gorgeous. She had natural blonde hair which was a shoulder-length, one of her hair lock's is dyed pink. Her bright green eyes were easily standing out thank to her slightly pale skin. She also had natural long eyelashes, a button nose and heart-shaped lips.

All in all, she was so pretty...totally opposite to me...

"Here you go, mother."

What did she just say? Mother? No, no way. I'm sure I heard her wrong, I'm pretty sure that I'm hallucinating...

"Thank you, Em," Amanda said.

She must've felt my confusion as she said, "Em dearie, This is Alexia, your brother's mate. Alexia, this is Emma, Landon's sister..."

I'm sure I was hanging my mouth open as Emma giggled. "Sorry, you looked funny...I'm Emma, but you may call me Em." She warmly smiled at me.

I felt a warm aura around her and I took a liking towards her, she almost seems kind-hearted.

"I'm Alexia, you can call me Lexi." I smiled weakly at her.

"I'm sorry for what my dumbass of a brother did to you. Don't worry, I'll give him an earful!"

I suddenly felt jealous...Not for being close to my mate tho. she has a sibling...and she cares about him because if she didn't, she wouldn't get angry at him...She has an ideal life, lucky...

"Thank you, Em, but you don't have to apologise...it's only his fault, not yours nor Amanda..." I mumbled.

I felt a wave of exhaustion pass on me.

They must've felt it as they left.

They told me to rest more whilst they talk to Landon, they also told me that the tray contained various foods so I should eat when I wake up again.

Time skip~

I began to gain my conscious tho I couldn't move a vein, my senses where all alerted.

A shuffling could be heard within a whiplash, I opened my eyes and glared at the intruder...the thought of someone trying to attack me during my sleep only made me more alerted about my surroundings.

To my surprise, Landon was standing beside my bed...his head hung low, I could even see slight red in his cheeks...Is he blushing?

"Listen to me..." He began.

"What are you doing here?" My tone came out harsher than I intended it to be.

Landon released a whimper that broke my already shattered heart.

"Be nicer to him!" Cara suddenly yelled at the back of my head.

"Says the one who's having mood swings since he marked us!" I yelled back.

Cara whimpered and became silent.

"I'm sorry...I never intended to mark you but you triggered me-" my stupid ass of a mate began.

"Are you trying to apologise or what! Are you fucking trying to accuse me of angering you or telling you to mark me! Seriously just leave me alone. You already took me against my will and now I won't be able to leave this damn place!"

My voice becoming louder with every word.

Landon growled at me which earned him an extremely loud growl from the door.

Our heads snapped to the door, Emma was standing there her knuckles white that I'm afraid to tell her to calm down...Some werewolves get angrier when someone tells them to calm down...except their mates I guess but they still sometimes fail to calm them down and cause them to pull a stunt.

"Leave her the hell alone! You caused enough trouble." Emma growled at my mate, also leaving no place for an argument. Looks like she and her mother have strong personalities.

He hung his head lowly again but not before glancing at me with guilt-ridden eyes...

Slowly he left the room and left me and Emma alone.

"He really did mess up this time huh...?"

Emma huffed.

"Yeah...he shouldn't have done any of that...just when I started to think that I'd give him a chance he'd go and mess everything up..."

I felt sorrow...why did the moon goddess do that to me...?

"Hey, I know my brother's a big jerk...wait let me rephrase that. I know that my brother is one hell of a dumbass, jerk, asshole and an endless list of all the cursing you might know in your entire life.

But I know for sure that he didn't mean that; he's 23 and has been waiting for his mate for a good 7 years and he found her by pure coincidence so if you were in his shoes, what would you do? Will you just leave your mate? Of course not! You'll do whatever you can to get him to stay with you!

I'm not taking sides okay? I know that he fucked up by marking you without your permission but still please give him a chance, I never thought that there'd be a day that I'll replace my brother begging me to know a way to earn your forgiveness...So please, just give it a shot alright?"

I never thought that Em would be giving me this lecture...actually in a way or another, she's right, but he really did fuck yo so he'll have to earn my forgiveness.

"Emma, I'm going to give him a chance, but, He'll have to earn my forgiveness..."

I said while fondling the new shirt I have been wearing...wait just a sec...

Just before Emma could respond, I yelled:

"Who changed my clothes!"

Emma was surely surprised but then she burst out laughing.

"Emma I'm not joking! Who the bloody hell changed me!"

Emma kept laughing for a good 5 minutes until she could start controlling it,

"Oh my god...Oh my god. You're just talking about forgiving Landon and within a second you're an extremely embarrassed tomato asking who changed the bloody reading shirt?"

She could barely say a complete sentence with her laughing like a crazy old man.

I growled at her causing her to laugh more...I couldn't stop her. Her laugh was the kind of laugh that makes you laugh with her. I started to carelessly laugh with her until we heard banging at the door with someone yelling at us to lower our voice...I can't believe it but, I like that girl very much. I have never been the type to like people so to make me laugh and to like her personality that fast...I like her and I hope we become good friends.

Suddenly she stopped laughing and stared at me with an extremely massive grin...what?

Her grin was getting wider and she started squealing and running around till she jumped at me almost killing me with her bear hug.

"I really like you, and I want to be your best friend too!" She giggled.

"What? Did I say that out loud! This is so embarrassing!" I facepalmed my bloody red face; hiding it from her bright smiling face.

"Awe come on, don’t be embarrassed, I sometimes say things I shouldn't out loud too!" she giggled.

My embarrassment somehow lessen and I smile warmly at her while hugging her, I don't know when was the very last time since I laughed from my heart and talked to someone who's truly my friend...

"Come in now! Let's go and eat, these fruits in the tray I brought earlier won't make you full! Let's go it's lunchtime and I know exactly what you should have, COME ON NOW LET'S GO!" She squealed while pulling me and started running towards the door.

Time skip~

"Are you kidding me? Nope.No.Nah uh.Not happening. Young lady I'm not gonna buy that shit. You are gonna stay put in your damn seat and finish all your food like a good pup or else..." she deadpanned me.

"But Emma, I'm full! And I'm gonna vomit if I even look at my plate..." I pouted at her while giving her the best puppy eyes I could ever muster.

We've been at this for some time now. After we went to the kitchen, Emma made us food and I've gotta say that she's a pretty good cook!

But she's too stubborn about making me eat hella a lot; looks like I'm way too thin so I'm gonna gain a couple of pounds no matter what so right now we're sitting in the completely empty except for both of us dining room.

"If I hear you mutter any other word about you being full, I'm gonna shove the rest of your food down your throat." She gave me a deadly glare.

An immensely loud growl was suddenly released from nowhere or that's what I thought before we both found Landon standing at the bottom of the stairs glaring at his sister with charcoal eyes.

"What do you want Landon." Emma snarled at him.

A louder growl erupted from him, demanding submission from his sister.

Emma didn't back down tho; She returned the snarl, her eyes turning to a dark shade of brown...

"HEY! YOU TWO BACK OFF NOW!"

Thank goodness, it was Amanda...I don't know what I'd do if they started clawing at each other...

Both Landon and Em glared at each other, Amanda cut their little stunt with a loud growl; both backing down but Landon kept a frown on his face...

"I want to talk to her..." Landon began.

"No. You're not gonna get near her!" Emma shouted quickly which calmed my nerves; I don't want to be near him for the time being...

This earned Emma a growl from Landon.

"Emma, back off. This is all up to Alexia. If we let you near her, you won't go near her." Amanda deadpanned him.

"Fine...But you're both gonna leave us alone." He said leaving no room for an argument.

"It's all Alexia's choice." Emma monotoned.

The three pairs of eyes were now on me...I felt kind of embarrassed...

It's weird yes but I'm not accustomed to the soft-looking eyes on me, I'm used to the glares and hateful ones only...

"What do you want honey?" Amanda softly asked me.

"I-I..." I'm becoming more and more self-conscious about myself...

"Why don't we give it a try?" Cara suddenly emerged from the back of my mind.

"Are you sure about it? I'm not so sure with everything that has been happening lately."

"I think so...it's your choice though." And quickly retreated to where she was before.

I'm not so sure about what I want...I never wanted anything except for my freedom.

I didn't want to get marked because it will stop me from being alone which I wanted.

It wouldn't completely stop me but when you get marked and runaway or reject your mate then you go under harsh situations including feeling severe pain from the rejection or being away from your mate for a long time...

"I...I...
