C7 Ruin

Serena"

I woke up with a terrible pain in my shoulder. Every move makes me wince in discomfort.

"ouch"

I slowly opened my eyes and roamed around to examine where I was. I realized that I was inside my room again. I inspected my right shoulder. I saw that there was a wound that was about to heal.

I stand up on my bed and go straight to my bathroom. I take off my royal-colored dress while recollecting my thoughts about what happened to me.

But the door burst open, and my eyes widened as I turned around to see Killian standing there with his worried and a bit frightened golden eyes gawking at me.

I look at myself, and my cheeks heat up as I realize that I was only wearing my lingerie. I instantly panicked. I reached whatever I could reach.

"yah!" I shouted and I threw the soap; it landed on his forehead. "Serve him," Killian immediately closed the door in horror, and I saw through his face that I had made him pissed again. It's evident through his chiselled jaw.

I should be the one to be pissed off, right? I calmed my nerves so I wouldn't follow the stupid guard of mine to kick his ball for being stupid to open my bathroom.

I soaked my body in my bathtub. It was full of different colours of roses, and the smell of them made me relax and forget everything.

Wait? Was it again? After I saw the crossbow was about to land on me, Killian ran through me, and I saw how worried his golden eyes were again.

I sigh—tthat is the reason why I keep being looked at as clumsy in front of him. even if it doesn't fit on a hard-headed and bitchy girl like me. Because I wanted to see his worried face, like when I first saw him, I thought after that incident there was something different about his worried face because I hadn't seen the glistening in his gorgeous eyes. Wait? Why have I been reminiscing about that day again? As I remember, I already buried that damn day of my life. not because of all the painful words of Killian but because since that day, my parents have been more strict and tight with my freedom. The only thing in the world that I wanted the most

And to add to my stupidity, I am infatuated with the numbest guy in the whole underworld, or I bet if there were a living creature above this world, he would win as the most cold-blooded guy there as well. That's the reason why my infatuation with him slowly disappeared, and now he's my most hated person ever.

I finished my bath, I got the towel, and I scrubbed it through my wet hair. While I was doing that, I stepped outside of my room and left my body unwrapped. since I need to put some lotion on my body. Yet I forgot about my damn guard that could still be inside my room because I got used to him being only outside and no one could enter inside without my permission.

Once again, I was stunned as I saw the man sitting on my bed while he was staring at me like he saw a ghost. I dropped the towel that I've been using for drying my hair and shouted again.

"waaaaaaa!"

"Relax, stop shouting; my eardrums would be damaged if you didn't stop." "Besides, no one could hear you because the other guard was not there." Killian pointed to the door and said, "And let me remind you that your room was on the top of the castle."

Killian said this in a bored tone while smirking. Then he turned around.

"What are you doing here?" "Get out of my damn room!" I shout with all my lungs because of my irritation.

Can you imagine how awkward and mixed with frustration I am? Arggh, if I could kick him out of my life, I would do that in a heartbeat.

"Can you at least cover your ugly body first?"

My eyes widened in disbelief. Did he say my ugly body? Did he know that I have admirers at school? Yes, of course, they still have no idea who I am.

I clenched my fist in frustration, yet I couldn't do anything. I picked up the towel on the floor, went through my closet, and slammed the door. I immediately looked for something to wear, and I made sure that it was gorgeous just to show the blind man outside of my closet that he was so wrong when he said that ugly word.

I choose to wear a beautiful pink dress, simple but gorgeous, and I step out of the closet. However, as I saw his irritated face, I shouted again.

"How dare you enter my room without my permission, dimwit?" I said it with a furious face.

"First of all, I don't need your permission because your parents give me that." From now on, I will be inside your room while guarding you. That was the alpha's order, which is your father. Two, why are you so furious, as if I have an interest in your body? Well, I tell you this not in a million ways: I would like a girl like you. And three, your parents told me that if you wake up, they will tell you that there is a visitor and you need to get ready.

I want to backfire and tell him that this is my room and I was the only one who had permission to be here. But when he said the number two reasons, I felt like I swallowed my tongue. My feet dragged me back through my closet.

I feel like I was back at the age of seven, and his words were like a sharp knife that was cutting my heart into pieces. "a girl like me..." Why did I feel this again? as if I'm not getting used to his hurtful words? Why do I even listen to him? I know my worth!

"Hey, are you going to change again?"

Killian knocked through the door of my closet and asked if he hadn't said terrible words to me again.

Insensitive... I close my eyes and try to sound normal.

"Yes, if there was a guest, I guess I need to be more presentable."

That was all I could say, then I swallowed the pain clogging my throat.

****

I was sitting beside my mom, while my father was in the center. We were in the dining hall, eating dinner together with the family of the Beta, the second commandant of our pack. But they were not here because they had another war to talk about. Instead, because my father asked his beta's son to be engaged to me...

Is there anything else that could ruin my already-ruined day other than this?

I was just listening to what they were talking about because I think I lost all my strength for all of the things that happened to me for the whole day, and most of all, the words of Killian kept on repeating in my head... Can I resist this time?
