“That’s the spirit believe me their not worth your care. You’ll understand as you go on.” She found herself ready to be a leader and didn’t care what it would cost as long as she would be by Layton’s side.
“So I guess you’re ready?” He suggested feeling the warm breeze.
“Yeah, I’ve been trying to live by my father’s dreams but I should have focused on the results. It was his fault he died if only he woke up from his dreams he would still be alive.” It was painful for her to say those words but she had to accept. Layton grinned.
“We all learn from our mistakes as I said you are stronger than you think Gem and this pack would be glad to have you as their alpha.” Layton pulled out his hand asking for her hand and she smiled then held his tight.
“I still don’t understand why you chose me.” He rolled his eyes.
“Don’t you ever get tired of asking questions or talking? Am trying to enjoy the view.” Gemini also rolled her eyes.
“I just want to know, it’s kind of confusing you know and I want to understand better. It is really strange that a guy like you would choose a girl like me. It’s not like it doesn’t happen but mostly in movies so tell me why.” Layton got irritated, he wasn’t a fan of talking.
“Alright, then I chose you cause I had no choice. Is that better now.” Gemini found herself smiling.
“Am going back in. Am starving.” She started to walk away. The alpha followed behind.
The couple sat by the large table in the dining room.
“Why did you take my phone away?” The girl asked chewing on her breakfast.
“Couldn’t risk it, someone might hack us.” Layton straightly said hoping she wouldn’t ask any questions.
It was late noon and Gemini contacted her mother in her room. Luckily she was able to remember her mother’s number and called her right away.
“Hello, who is this?” Gemini cried once she heard her mother’s voice.
“Mom it’s me Gem.” Her mother paused. She never expected Gemini to call.
“Why are you calling?! So after all this time you’ve now decided to call!!” Gemini was silent, she thought her mother would be happy to see her after so long.
“I wasn’t able to call cause they took my phone.”
“You left and you didn’t tell me!! Do you know how worried I was!!” Her mother remembered every moment.
“If I told you, you would have come after me and I didn’t want you to.” Trying to convince her mother but she knew her mother too well.
“You should have at least left a letter or something, I thought you went missing.” Gemini could hear her mother break into tears.
“Mom am sorry….. I had no choice.” She also broke into tears.
“Is that what your father would want.” Gemini didn’t really know what her father would want for her.
“Dad would want me to be happy and I am with Layton. Why can’t you support me on this Mom.” Layton’s name echoed in her mother’s head, she only wanted her daughter to be safe as she knew and heard a lot about Layton.
“You with Layton?” Her mother yelled out.
“Yes….. you know him?” Her mother could never forget what that devil of a man did.
“Gem does not marry him.” Gemini would never leave him after everything they are going through.
“Why would you way that mom? Don’t you like him?” The woman groaned still remembering the past.
“If you love me sweetie you’ll leave him.” Gemini was still oblivious and wanted to know why her mother was suddenly against Layton.
“I can’t cause I really love him, mom.”
“You know am trying to protect you!!” Gemini sighed but she knew she wouldn’t leave Layton.
“I know but I’ve grown and I can make my own decisions.”
“You do not know who you’re dealing with Gemini, that sorry excuse of a man is nothing but evil and heartless!” Gemini got very annoyed. She thought of him as a kind-hearted and gentleman.
“He isn’t heartless!! He has been kind and loving to me mom maybe if you took some time to know him, you wouldn’t think of him as evil!!”
“You just don’t know what you’re saying!! You don’t know how he is!!” Gemini didn’t want to listen to her own mother.
“I can’t just cause you to think he’s heartless.”
“If you don’t then we’re no longer family!” She yelled.
“Why are you so against him anyway?! What has he ever done to you!?!” Gemini repeated her mother’s tone. Just before her mother could talk the door swung open forcing Gemini to end the call.
“Who were you talking to?” Layton asked.
“No one…I was talking to myself. Helps me think.” Gemini instantly said hoping he wouldn’t suspect her.
“Weird.” He noticed her phone in her left hand but ignored it as he was in quite a hurry.
“Am going out for some time but I’ll be back soon so Strider will be around to look after you.” She nodded and he walked out. She sighed in relief if Layton found out he would kill her mother and maybe her. She tried calling her mother but she wouldn’t answer. Gemini stressed and cried for a while but Layton’s words flashed in her mind and soon excepted the reality. She wouldn’t leave him even if it means going against her mother.
