He smirks, “if you want to live, then I suggest that I carry you.”
I roll my eyes and nod. I guess he’s right. We need to get out of here as fast as possible and I’m just slowing us down.
Once we are a few miles away from the Blood Moon territory I squirm out of his arms and straighten my shirt. I’m about to say something but William beats me to it.
“I know if been a-a-monster. But I’m not gonna let my kid get hurt. I’m gonna protect it with everything I got. I’m not as heartless as you think, Mira.”
Silence follows for a moment.
“I guess what I’m trying to say is, I’m sorry. I don’t expect you to forgive me, I just needed to say it.
Having a mate has changed me beyond what I ever thought could change.” He chuckles.
I can tell he’s genuinely sorry but I can’t forgive him. I just can’t. I nod and now it’s my turn to say something.
“I know you’re sorry William , but I can’t forgive you. Not yet. What you did to me was-…it was bar barbaric.”
Silence fills the air until I break it.
“Go back you your mate William, She needs you, and I can take care of myself.” I say.
He shakes his head,”I can’t leave you out here, pregnant with my kid! What kind of person do you think I am?!”
This is gonna hurt him, but it’s the only way to get him to go back to Sarah. I’m not gonna get my best friend wrapped up in this.
“You’re the person who rapes his brother’s mate and continues doing it! You’re the person who blackmailed me into not telling anyone! You’re the person who got me into this mess in the first place!! I’m rejected and pregnant because of you! You really think I need the person that did all of that to me around?! You would do me a favor by leaving! And-” I stop, unable to go on.
I can tell it hit him like a ton of bricks. Though I hate him, I hate myself more for saying those things, even though it was the truth. I cross my arm and look up at him.
“And I can’t be the reason you are miserable. I can’t be William. I can’t be the reason Sarah is in pain every time she wakes up and your not there to tell her how much you love her. William, please go back to your mate, back to my best friend. And if you wanna keep in touch, I have a phone. It’s right here.” I pull out my iPhone and show him.
‘”Im gonna keep it for another week then I’m getting a flip phone. I can’t have them track me down. So please William. Go be happy. Live your life. for me”I squeak.
A tear slides down my already wet cheeks but I quickly wipe it away. William stares into space then meets my gaze.
“Okay Mira. Okay. But you have to call me once a week. I need to know you and the baby are alright.”
He says.
I nod then give him the best smile I could conjure up. Unfortunately, it was only a half smile. You can’t expect me to smile after all of this do you?!
I’ve had a freakin crappy day! I deserve to feel sorry for myself!
William returns the smile then starts to walk back to the pack.
“Thank you.” I say to him.
He turns around with a confused look on his face.
“For what?”
“For helping me when no one else would. For seeing me and not the monster I really am.” I say quietly.
He smiles, “first off: I wasn’t going to let them kill you just because your real Dad was a Feramors. having Feramors blood in you doesn’t make you one. And second: your not a monster Mira. If a monster is supposed to be kind, compassionate, joyful and loving, then that’s exactly what you are.”
He chuckles then continues.
“Your definitely not a monster Mira. I am, but not you. “he starts walking again but I don’t stop him this time.
I watch him leave until he’s gone. I’m alone.
What do I do now?
Mira’s pregnant?! And she was rejected by her mate, indeed she really had a crappy day. Let’s see what happens next in the next chapter!!
