Even her sad face looked like something crafted by the goddess. She looked like a pitiful girl who had been wronged and I felt my heart move in sympathy for her.
“You don’t have to apologize to me,” I said, all the anger draining from me and leaving me empty.
“I do. If you already see me as a home wrecker that is out to steal your mate ”
“You don’t have to apologize to me because I’m not angry at you. Whether you sent those pictures to ruin our relationship or not, I don’t have the energy to care anymore.”
“Thank you. I hope you will forgive Valens for “
“My issue with him has nothing to do with you. I long since got over his inability to trust me.” I wasn’t lying. I had resigned myself already. But “Valens he When Redville needed an Alpha, when I needed an Alpha, when my baby needed an Alpha, he wasn’t there. He is the Alpha that abandoned his pack. The Alpha that failed to put his pack first. The selfish Alpha. That selfishness cost me too much.”
“Are you hungry?” Valens asked when we got to the penthouse.
It was exactly how I left it before going to the hospital. It felt so surreal to know that some things remained the same while my life had changed forever.
“No,” I answered Valens’ question, getting into bed. I burrowed my face into a pillow and closed my eyes, blocking out everything. “Turn off the lights,” I muttered. “All of them,” I added when he left one light on. He turned it off and the place became pitch black.
“You should have lunch before you sleep off.”
“I am not sleeping off,” I muttered, turning my face.
“Okay.” There was silence after that but it didn’t last as long as I would like. “Do you need anything?” I needed him to leave me alone but I wouldn’t say that.
“Who trained you?” I raised my head from the pillow. “In combat, that is.”
“The head of my father’s knights. Why do you ask?” He perched on the bed and I got the wild feeling that he was afraid of me. No, he was uncertain. Not afraid.
“Was he cursed along with you?” I asked but what I meant was ‘Is he still alive?’
“No. He died protecting my mother.” He looked away and I felt his grief.
“Who took over from him? Who would have Who is supposed to Who will train the next generation?” I turned away too. If I had the baby, who would have trained them?
“The king’s knights have no leader now as I haven’t appointed one. The highest in rank manages them for now. When it’s time, I will choose a leader and he will train our children.”
“Will they agree to train me?”
He looked at me as if he couldn’t believe I would ever think of that. “Why would you want him to train you? You have me and Jabari.”
So far, they’d been the ones training me but I knew I wasn’t anywhere close to where I would have been if someone dedicated to training me actually did. A lot of times, Valens had too much work to do so he couldn’t make it to our training and a few times Jabari too could not make it. On such days, I would simply do a little exercise and go back to being a couch potato. A trainer would have no other job than training me.
“For the times you and Jabari have other things to do. I’m nowhere near where I can be. So far, I’ve only learnt defence. I’m tired of it.”
“If that’s the case, we can ” I cut him off.
“I don’t want to train with you anymore,” I said, looking him square in the eye so he knew I meant it.
“Little moon ”
“What? You can decide to leave tomorrow and I’d be without a trainer. I don’t want a repeat of the past,” I sneered at him.
“There will be no repeat of the past.”
Weren’t things easier said than done? Who could tell when someone else conspired against me and he chose to believe them instead of me? He would punish my pack for my mistakes. He’d leave us to the wild wolves when he felt he needed a break.
“I shouldn’t have left you.” He sighed, pushing his hair out of his face. “I made a mistake and I apologize, really.”
“You didn’t just leave me, Valens. You left Redville. You left my pack. What did you think would happen to a pack with a deserter Alpha!” I was screaming again, crying.
Tears spilt from the corners of my eyes despite my efforts at keeping my emotions at bay. I was angry. Bitter. I didn’t want to be, but the more I thought about what I lost because my Alpha left, the angrier I became.
“I left because I feared my wolf’s reaction. I was angry enough to forget my duties. It’s not an excuse but I promise it will never happen again.”
“Of course, it’s not an excuse. I think you did. An Alpha doesn’t just ‘forget’ his duties! I think you remembered what abandoning your pack could cause but you didn’t care. You thought, ‘let them rot,’ and took off without a backwards glance. You didn’t just forget about your duty. You subconsciously wanted to punish me! Well, congrats, you succeeded.” I wiped angry tears from my eyes. “And don’t even try to deny it.”
“Don’t say that. Don’t even think that. I had to get my wolf under control and it was the best way. I should have trusted you enough to know you would not desecrate our bond and I apologize for my lack of faith but I never wanted to punish you.”
I let him hug me as my emotions spiralled out of control. I let him hug me because I didn’t have the strength to fight his hold. I couldn’t get over the overwhelming sense of being let down, being betrayed, abandoned. The knowledge of what could have been if things had gone a certain way, the thought that I could be walking a different path if my mate trusted me or if my Alpha never neglected his duties haunted me
When I’d cried until I was red in the face, breathless and tired, when I could not string two sentences together without hiccups, I pulled away from him and wiped my face. He tried to take my hand but I moved away from him.
“I don’t want to stay here anymore.” I looked around the room in the penthouse suite of the pack house.
It had seemed like an upgrade from the basement, something I thought would be the starting point of something new in my life. It was the start of something new, alright. It just wasn’t the brand of newness I expected or hoped for.
