You Want Me Back? Too Bad, My Alpha—I'm Done Waiting

Chapter 22 Chapter 22 As I matured and looked back on the memory of my mother's funeral, I realized that in my youth I was too ignorant to comprehend the gravity of death. I was too young to understand my father's losing mate would bring me to what kind of situation. Years later, the situation finally hit me. "Lizzy! Where's the breakfast?!" My stepmother, Caroline, shouted from downstairs. My father must have already left for his week-long trip for alpha business. If he was still here, Caroline wouldn't be shouting and demanding as she is now. I snuggle into my warm blanket and pillow.

5 more minutes wouldn't hurt. But, I just end up falling asleep. I then get woken up with a rush of cold tingles. Then I realized someone has just poured a bucket of ice-cold water on me....in bed. I lung out of bed shivering. I look up, only to see my evil step-brother, Vince. He looks at me and smirks, "Hurry up and get dressed. My mother wants her breakfast." He leaves me standing in the middle of my room, drenched in ice cold water, in my winter cold room. Caroline won't let me have a heater in my room. So, I made my self a thick blanket by sowing two together.

My other older brother, who is the twin of Vince, walked passed my room, only to back up and face me. He looks sad when he takes in my appearance. "Vince?" He says in a hard voice. Eddie has never really liked his older brother. Well, Vince is older by 10 minutes. Eddie has always been my protector against Caroline and Vince. My father remarried a female wolf who had twin boys of her own from her now dead mate. Eddie quickly grabs a towel and walks towards me, wrapping the warm material around me. He walks to his shower and turns on the water. Caroline has shut off the hot water in my shower.

She says it's to save money apparently which makes no sense because both of her sons have their own bathrooms and hot water. I doubt it would be more expensive if I had a little bit of hot water to. I don't even know how she did it, but she did. Eddie usually lets me use his. After my shower I dressed in my thick, black winter jeans, a thick black and grey sweater and a black infinity scarf, then I put my hair up in a messy bun. I make my way downstairs and into the kitchen. I start to make bacon, eggs, and chocolate chip pancakes.

I learned to cook at 8 years old when Caroline first came here. I'm 19 now. So I've got some pretty good skills in the kitchen, not meaning to brag or anything. I set the meal and her cup of black coffee with no sugar, in front of Caroline. She sits straight like how a proper lady should. She sniffs the food, takes a little bite out of everything. Then she picks up her plate calmly, turns to me and dumps her food onto my freshly washed head. I stay still. I know if I let all my anger out right, I'll regret it. All I do is silently hold back my emotions.

"You didn't put enough butter or milk into my eggs. Make me something better for lunch dearest," she turns to walk away, but looks over her shoulder and looks at me with a cruel smirk, "Oh and do clean up your mess dear, and while you're at it, clean yourself up, you look and smell disgusting." I scowl at her, "If you hate how I cook then why don't you cook yourself?" She stills and glares down at me, "Because I am the Luna. I have responsibilities and duties to do in order to run this pack while my mate is gone which includes taking care of you.

The least you could do is make me food." My step-brother walks in and glares at his mother as soon as he saw me standing in food, "The least you could do is treat her like she's your equal mother." Eddie says firmly to her. She turns to Eddie and her eyes brighten, "Oh sweetheart. You look absolutely gorgeous this morning," she says with a cheerful smile, completely ignoring what Eddie said. All Eddie does is sneer at his mother, "Why do you do this? What has Lizzy ever done to you?" He says firmly.

Caroline's perfectly composed face turns into a look that could kill, "You have overstepped the line son. You have no idea what that worthless piece of shi-" "If she's so worthless why is she worth any of your time? You put quite a lot of your time and effort into making sure she's miserable." 11:33 C Too Bad, My Alpha-I'm Done Waiting 20 Chapter 22 "I treat her according to how she behaves. She is a spoilt brat, she needs to learn what hard work is." She growls at Eddie.

My brother shakes his head, disagreeing with her, "You should remember your place mother." "And you should remember yours son." She growls. Eddie looks down at his mother, "You were born from Omega parents, mother. Elizabeth was born from an Alpha. She was born to be a Luna, you just married into the role. So as I said before, you should treat her like an equal." All Caroline does is growl and stomp out of the house. Eddie makes his way over to me, bends down to his knees to help me clean up silently. "Thank you," I mumbled.

Eddie let's out a loud sigh, "Lizzy, you have to stand up for yourself. You can't let my beast of a mother trample all over you like that." He says softly. "I try to sometimes. But whenever I do she complains to dad and then he comes storming into my room, giving me lectures about how I need to change and be more submissive and respectful." Eddie shakes his head, "I don't get your dad. I don't understand how he can treat his daughter like that." I sat down and leaned against the wall, "Me neither. Ever since my mother died, he was never the same. He never treated me the same.

It's almost like he pretended I wasn't his daughter." "Maybe he did that because you reminded him of his mate." I shrug, "Yeah probably. I guess maybe it was easier for him to cope if he pretended that I wasn't his daughter." "That's pretty fucked up." Eddie said. I smirk, "I know. I feel like a stranger in my own home." I look down at my hands and found them gripping my pants tightly, "But at the same time, I'm always trying to not be angry at him, to not feel rejected because I don't want to become this angry, bitter or cold person.

But he makes it so hard." Eddie's eyes soften as he stares at me. He shuffles next to me and gathers me in his arms, "You could never be cold Lizzy. You're too sweet for your own good." I release a little laugh. Eddie always knew how to make laugh when I'm all sad and glum, "After I clean myself up I'll bake you some cookies." When I turn around to go to Eddie's shower, I feel him do the little silent "YUSSS" and fist in the air thing. I laugh silently to myself حصلي O(0) 800 (0) Too Had My Alpha-I've Done Waiting.
