Kayden’s POV
I could hear the screams and yells but I could not even order them to be silenced. That was bound to happen.
Sometimes having a sharp ear was a curse and it was a curse at the moment, it did not feel too good to hear Mantha screaming at the top of her voice words about me but then that was who I was.
That was me to everyone, I have always been that way to everyone so I do not care, right? I know that’s how I am so hearing someone tell me what I very well know is not supposed to hurt at all, right?
I sighed and buried my face in my palm.
“Jay?” I called but there was no response from him. Only growls and slight howls from him.
“I am sorry I could not accept her.” I apologized to him.
“Your apologies can’t do much,” Jay replied and his response was at least great.
“It would take you nothing to accept our mate. We have been having this talk like forever! I want my mate!” Jay said he was getting aggressive just like any Alpha wolf would get at this point.
“You… You do not understand me thoroughly.”I said to him.
“Yeah, you only understand yourself and you always think of yourself only. You are suiting yourself by rejecting her, did you think of me? No! Did you think of Mantha herself? No! Did you think of your family? They are all waiting for your mate? Did you think about the pack? They are all waiting for you to get your mate and when you finally do find our mate, what do you do?!” Jay screamed and I could only swallow a huge load of saliva.
He was a bit right, I was after my affairs but then all of them did not understand that I existed simply doing what was best for the pack. Having a Luna would cause a whole lot of distraction.
Samantha’s POV
I woke up with a terrible headache that quickly reminded me of the previous day’s activities and heartbreak.
Alpha Kayden sure does know how to break one’s heart, he sure is good at being cold, he chooses delicate spots in one to perpetuate his act of coldness.
“Good morning, you’re awake,” Cassie said to me and I nodded.
“Good morning Cara.” I greeted.
“Good… Good morning.” Cara stuttered with a very low voice.
I could imagine what she too was feeling at the moment, she was rejected by her mate, the one whom she thought she could get love, care and protection from was the one who outright rejected her, rejected us.
“Here is your meal, eat first. You didn’t have dinner last night.” Cassie said to me and handed me a plate of food to me.
I pressed my lips into a thin line in form of a small smile and raised the spoon to eat but halted for a moment to look at Cassie who was also staring at me intently.
I lifted the spoon to my mouth and took a few bites, I was not in any way interested in the food, my entire system was not interested in the food at the moment.
“What’s wrong? You want to talk about it?” She asked and I shook my head to indicate the opposite.
“Maybe later,” I mumbled because I very well knew that trying to talk about it right now would only lead me to another round of crying and that was one thing I did not want to get in right now.
I did not want to cry for that cruel soul anymore.
“Okay then, just stay strong.” she urged me and I nodded.
I dropped the plate of food and watched Cassie pout in a form of annoyance.
“You have to eat.. I don’t know what’s going on but nothing and absolutely nothing should stop you from eating… C’mon never should that happen.” she playfully said to me and I flashed her a smile.
She placed the food in my laps and smiled at me before ruffling my hair.
“You are not in the state to work, for now, I would get on to the chores immediately so I can get done early,” Cassie said to me.
“Cassie, thank you so much.” I thanked her in sincere appreciation.
“It’s nothing, anyways you are welcome.” she beamed at me, a bright smile and walked out.
I dropped the food as soon as she had left and snuggled back under the blankets.
“Cara, am I this unfortunate? I… I am sorry you have to through all of this because of me.” I said to Cara.
“I….. Maybe… He… We…” Cara stuttered and I breathed in and out deeply.
“We must face the reality… We no longer have a mate in the world.. I… You know I told you I was expecting this but…. but when I found out my mate was him, I thought that things would be different, it’s all my wishful thinking.” I replied her.
“Let him go to hell!!” Cara screamed at me and I shut my eyes tightly.
Lauren’s POV
I tried to get across to Melissa on the phone yet again but it was not going through. She had left home immediately Kayden returned for Samantha and since then, no one could get across to her.
But then it’s good for her because Kayden would not hesitate to kill her and she would have no one for Kayden to consider.
I was back at my home but I was not feeling too good! I did not like my home anymore! I wanted to live wherever Kayden was living.
That had always been my lifelong dream and I would pursue it till my last breath.
I brought out a picture of kid Kayden and me and stared at it.
“We look so good here, where did it all go wrong Kayden? Why don’t you like me anymore?” I asked about the picture which of course could give no reply.
I crumpled the picture in my hands and threw it off. I breathed in and out deeply, I had barely survived what I tried out on Samantha the last time but then I was not going to give up.
The last time I had done my things staying very well in the light, I had done things with Samantha knowing very well that it was me but this time around, I would launch yet another round of attacks on her, this time while remaining in the dark.
“I would do anything to get you Kayden….”
