Chapter 32

I walked along the halls while doing some of Hades' paperwork. I frowned at the thousands of reports about rogues and Elvira's pack. She's targeting our pack more than my father's pack, but why?

I continued to muse over this, racking my brain for answers. I sighed, so many problems and no answers. Every day is just getting more stressful.

My mood-swings are terrible and I now stay away from Hades whenever I'm angry because I'll snap at him for the dumbest of things.

I burst into tears when he made me breakfast, saying it was the best thing I've ever tasted and so on. He was confused to say the least.

I walked into his office to see him speaking to my dad. I froze, staring at him wide eyed as he tried motioning for me to leave.

Damn it, I forgot they were having a meeting today. I started to back out when my father turned around. His eyes widened and he went to say something but I quickly left. I slammed the door and walked back to my room, trying to get the panic to leave me.

Once I reached my room I was able to relax and think straight. That was like seeing my worst nightmare in person, in a way, it was.

I stayed in the room for about an hour until Hades walked in.

"Are you okay?" He asked, his face showing concern.

I nodded, "Is he gone?"

"Yeah."

He closed the door and sat beside me, slowly wrapping his arm around me and pulling me close. I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Want some McDonald's?" He suddenly asked.

I looked up with a raised eyebrow, "Seriously? You're asking me that? You know I love Mcdonalad's."

He chuckled before pulling me to my feet. We grabbed our jackets and left.

I moaned as I ate my fry that was just dipped into my chocolate milkshake. Hades had a look of disgust as he watched me dip my fries into my shake and eat them. I smirked as I dipped another and held it up to him.

"Want one?" I asked.

He shook his head, "No."

"Come on, try it! It's good!"

"No, it's gross."

"It is not gross!" I argued, feigning hurt.

He shrugged, "It is."

I flashed him a glare as I ate the fry, "Asshole."

He smirked, "Now, that, I am. You done?"

"No, I need to finish my fries." I mumbled.

He frowned, "You did."

I glanced at the box and pouted. "They betrayed me." I whimpered.

Hades rolled his eyes before pulling me to my feet. He grabbed my trash and threw it away before walking out while still dragging me.

As we drove home I was still shocked by the fact he's not afraid. He's doing well with it, even after his accident.

As we drove into the driveway I could see everyone setting up for something. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at Hades who seemed equally confused.

I climbed out of the car and walked over to where there were tables, a grill, decorations, and so on all set up.

I scanned everyone until I found who I was looking for. I marched over to her and pulled her into a quiet corner.

"What is going on?" I asked.

She grinned, "It's Jackson's birthday, I wanted to surprise him."

"Oh, tell him I said happy birthday."

"Wait, you aren't going to stay? You two haven't talked in a while and-

"I'm really tired, honestly. Maybe if it's still going when I wake up I'll join." I replied, giving her a smile.

She nodded, "Is Hades joining?"

"Probably." I said with a shrug.

"Well, I'll make sure he doesn't have too much alcohol. He's not...a nice drunk." She warned before getting back to the party.

I swallowed as I walked inside, he's not going to get drunk. Is he?

I woke up to laughter and loud music beating my eardrums. I groaned, massaging my temples as to somehow ward off the migraine coming. I crawled out of bed and walked downstairs then outside.

I frowned at the scene before me, thousands of werewolves drunk, some even passed out on the ground. A few windows were broken, there was glass all over the place, the grill was broken in half, and so were the tables.

I instantly searched for Hades, hoping he wasn't drunk. However, when I found him drinking a large bottle of wolfsbane wine I had dread fill my stomach.

I then searched for Melody and found her drunk as well. Along with Jackson who was laughing over damn food.

I sighed, the Elders are caring for the pups and all the adults are wasted. Looks like I'm all alone with this. I remembered Melody's warning and frowned.

I walked over to Hades and gently tapped his shoulder.

He spun around and glared at me, "What do you want bitch?" He spat.

I swallowed, "U-uh, I need help..."

He glanced down at my pregnant belly and scoffed, "I'm not helping a whore."

"I'm your mate not some whore!" I argued.

He scrunched up his nose, "I would never have an ugly ass bitch like you as my mate."

All the guys around him started laughing their asses off. I clenched my jaw, trying to fight off the tears that started to form.

"Now, leave, rogue." He snarled with disgust.

I went to argue, but instead I turned and started cleaning up. I ignored all the drunks, trying my hardest to finish everything. I bit back a yelp as I accidentally stepped on a piece of glass.

"Oh, look, the idiot stepped on glass!" Hades' voice echoed.

The silent tears rolled down my cheeks as I ignored the glass in my foot and continued cleaning. I can't bend down anyway and I don't have anyone's help, so, should just ignore it.

"Hey! Celina!" Melody hiccuped as she stumbled over to me.

I glared at her and continued to cleaning.

"Awe, come on, have some fun!" She continued.

I rolled my eyes, "Fuck off, Melody."

"Hey, don't speak to my mate that way!" Jackson growled.

I have him a dark look, "Then go and fuck Jackson, Melody." I said as I looked at Melody.

"Bitch!" Jackson snarled.

I turned to yell at him when he slapped me across the face. I was shocked for a second until the panic set in.

Everyone started laughing at me and Hades joined them. I swallowed and ran, well, tried to. Not exactly easy for a pregnant woman.

I shoved everyone out of my way and ran into the woods.

Once I was a safe distance from them I sobbed loudly. My whole body shook from the violent sobs as I hid under some large rocks.

By the time I was done it was beginning to get dark, but I didn't move.

I was terrified of leaving, as of right now it's my only safe spot. They'll only hit me again and insult me again. I can't handle that right now. Looks like everyone in this pack are mean drunks.

I eventually fell asleep, hidden by the shadows of the rocks.
