Rex’s POV.
“What do you want from us, Rex? Leave me and my kids alone, please!!”
I could still hear her voice in my head as I drove down to the park where I first saw her and my kids when I arrived in New Kingston.
I could feel the hatred she had towards me and right now, if there was anything that ran through my head was leaving New Kingston for good and never bothering her anymore.
“She was probably good without me.” I muttered as I punched my steering wheel so hard.
“Darn it!! Darn it!!” I cursed as tears blurred my vision.
I just couldn’t believe that she could ever raise her hand on me. She was never this way. This isn’t the Elena I knew five years back.
My heart ached badly as it felt like I should just end whatever pain I was feeling right now by pushing my hand inside my chest and pulling out my heart.
I came to New Kingston with high hopes of getting back my fated mate, my wife and Luna, who I had stupidly sent out for my treacherous ex who never loved me but was only there to infiltrate my pack.
I came to New Kingston hoping I could reunite with my kids as well. The one thing that meant the whole world to me.
The whole beautiful moments I spent with my kids earlier on were quickly washed away as all I could now think of was Elena’s slap.
“What do you want from us, Rex? Leave me and my kids alone!!” The voice grew louder in my head as I screamed, groaning loudly like some insane man who just narrowly escaped from the psychiatric center down the street.
I remained inside my car as I kept on drinking the beer I had purchased while driving down here.
I had already emptied a dozen of it, and I was half way the other pack. I stayed there, shut inside my car as I ignored Clark’s numerous calls which was now approaching 25 missed calls already and 5 different voice notes.
I stepped out of the car as it clocked 12 midnight in the night, the park was lonely and I was in the beach’ section.
“Elena?” I screamed at the top of my voice as tears rolled down my cheeks as I staggered through the sand, drunk.
I wished I never came here in the first place. Now it happens to hurt me even more knowing that all she had left for me was nothing more than hatred.
And with that, I knew there was no way I was ever going to be with my kids.
“Forgive me, Elena.” I cried as I fell to the ground, chuckling too as tears rolled down my cheeks.
I emptied the next pack making it 24 bottles as I had a black out on the beach.
The shrieking sound of egrets could be heard distinctly.
“Rex? Rex?” I heard Clark’s voice as I propped up as I closed my eyes as the sun blinded my eyes again.
My head banged heavily as he supported me.
“What came over you? Huh?” He queried as he dusted me with his hand.
“Do you know how worried we got?” He scowled as he looked at me.
“We?” I asked as I looked at him as I couldn’t remember what exactly happened last night.
But then, it was obvious.
Anyone would have a good explanation seeing me this way. My well tailored coat was already soaked by the water and my belt was a stone’s throw away from where I stood.
My wristwatch was also a stone throw away from where my belt lay as well as from where I stood.
The headache was severe which made me groan bitterly as Clark supported me up as he picked my wristwatch and belt.
“Do you mind explaining how many more of these you took?” He scowled as he picked up the beer bottle.
“Can you just get me back home?” I shrugged as I pulled off his hand as I managed to walk on my own.
I emptied the back seat of my car as I threw all the bottles of beer on the ground.
“Rex?” Clark snapped, furrowing his eyebrows at me.
“You know what, I know my way back home.” I snapped as I grabbed my car key from him as I drove back to my apartment.
I parked in the garage as I entered my apartment.
I cursed as I unlocked my phone to see 12 missed calls from my mother.
“Rex? I hope you are alright? Please, when you see my voicenote, do call back immediately. I hope you are safe out there?”
“Rex? This is unlike you. Are you okay? How are my grandchildren and Elena?”
“This is three o’clock in the morning and yet no response from you.” This time around I could hear her light sobs.
This was probably the first time I had heard her sob. I deleted all the voice notes as I never wanted to listen to them anymore.
I dropped my phone as I rushed inside the bathroom to go shower. My head still aches severely from yesterday.
I exhaled sharply as I remembered her dirty slap on my face. I frowned as I sponged my body, my wolf growling lightly in rage.
“How could she? How could she raise her hand against me?” I snarled as I rinsed my body.
“Are you okay?” Clark asked the very moment I stepped out of the bathroom.
“I know this look, Rex. Tell me, what happened yesterday?” He shrugged as he dropped my breakfast on the mini dining table in the room.
“I am fine, Clark. Did you check into Tobey last night? Any important updates yet?” I quickly changed the topic as I asked about my secretary.
“Yes, he called last night. Your mother seems to be coping just fine with the other directors.” He responded as he looked at me.
He still wasn’t satisfied with my answer. “But how could I tell him that I received a dirty slap from her and a strict warning to leave her and her children? “Hell no, no way I’m telling him that!” I sipped my hot coffee as I looked at him, imagining the worst scenario that could happen when he gets to find out.
