I was pissed as fvck!
After listening to Mira explained what had happened, I promise to kill Alaric when I see him.
Hold up!
Was that why he was acting strange lately? Why he kept apologing over everything.
‘Well, he would be sorry in the grave’
The rest of the day went a bit well. I had faith that I will get my mate and our kids. I was okay with Elena staying around and would see well into it.
All through the night, I was sleeping but relax.
She knew about everything. Had stayed back because of me and yet didn’t try to meet me! Women!!
I turned to the other side of the bed and shocked at the discovery. It still had my mate scent, but faint.
I pressed my face to the bed, trying to fill my nose with her scent as much as I could.
I woke up with the sound of footsteps around me and a familiar scent. Opening my eyes to see mom- I meant Elena standing there with a bright smile on her face.
“Good morning, sleepy head. I got to reach Kia yesterday night” she said.
I was shocked.
Looking at her like she was something else, I doubt if I should trust her. She would not tell me that she just reached him yesterday and he let her call him?
My gaze was in her every move, making me very alert and growled when she waked towards me. My message got welk to her as she raised both hands, paused and gave me a sad smile.
“I promise I am not a bad person, Son. You can kill me if I do anything bad”
It broke my heart to hear her say that. My mom, asking me to kill her because I couldn’t trust her yet. I searched for the glass I kept on the bed last night but couldn’t find it.
“You don’t need it.”
I ignored her, walked to the mirror and check my face. My eyes was okay, normal and I was so grateful for it.
“Thank you” I said for no reason.
I want to thank her for staying, for coming out for me, for not dying and helping me now but she didn’t say anything. I turned around to see her gone. The room still smells of her a d I broke more.
Why do I keep hurting people that are close to me?
I looked where I saw her when I woke up and found a book. It was an old diary.
Without hesitation, I picked it up and opened it. The hand writing and pages seem very old. It was then I noticed a date, before I was cen born.
‘Dear diary. I lost the other one, Jeremy is dead and I feel like I am the only one alive from our pack’
I paused and looked at the room like she was still there.
“Who the heck is Jeremy?” I asked.
Silence.
I wished I haven’t growled at her. I wished I had been good and wish her a good morning back. That didn’t stop me from jumping the page to another one.
‘Day 16 and slowly healing after been burnth alive by Alpha Cage…’
The fvck! Alpha Cage was my father!
I relaxed and looked back at the page.
‘Anything for my baby Rex. CJ, if you find this, know that I am dead or is gone for good’
I jumped to another page.
‘I can’t leave you, Rex. I haven’t carried you. He didn’t even let me touch you. I am sorry for not been there’
I didn’t know when a tear dropped as landed in the book. I was shaking, a the verge of shifting and controlling myself. I watched my nails change to claws, making me have all manner of emotions especially self hatred.
I was never there for her.
I was never there for my mate.
I was never there for my kids.
What kind of a man am I?
I closed the book, dropped it aside and began to shake. My throat clogged and I began to cry. I was sweating, breaking down and wanting to pull down the pack. I want to burn it all, to bring everyone down and …
I flinched when I heard something vibrated. It would be my phone but where did I keep it.
I scattered the room, looking for it and couldn’t find it. Fustrated, I sat down to feel it vibrate again! On my body.
“Asshole!” I cussed my phone as I stood up and brought it out my trouser pocket.
When I looked at the screen, the call has ended. I was about to drop the phone when it began to ring again.
“Kia!” I growled immediately I picked the call.
He was silent for a while, breathing heavily as if waiting for me to talk first.
“Alpha Kia” I said this time with impatient.
“Your mother is alive?” He said.
The way he sounded seem like he was shocked, didn’t believe what he said and wanted to be sure.
“She… I thought she died!”
“Where is my mate and …”
“Bring your mother, I will give you your kids and Mate” He interrupted.
That seem strange.
The way he sounded, his hushed whispered and how he was making those unbelievable decisions made me feel like he was lying.
“I swear by my life, Rex. Please agree bring Elena to me and I will share you my location”
I was shocked.
I didn’t know what to say but I need my mate.
I looked at the door, imagined my mom was there and was looking at me with a sad smile.
“Deal” I told Kia.
Immediately the call ended, I rushed to the door to meet Elena there. She had tears in her eyes, like she was scared or stressed.
Did she hear what we talked about?
She would not understand if she only heard me.
“It’s okay son, I will go with you to end this mess” she held my face.
