Mia’s POV
The prisoner broke out of prison with the help of his master. If his master is a smart person, there’s no way he’s going to let that criminal live because he’s going to be scared of being given away-which is the main reason he’s helping the criminal out of the prison in the first place.
He’s probably dead by now, or maybe his boss just likes him and won’t kill him. The whole thought process of everything was overwhelming for me. I wish I could have beaten up that guy earlier, but it’s all good now.
At least we got rid of one problem. Even though we didn’t get to catch the mastermind red-handed, we would still catch him later on. If he’s coming for me, then he should get ready to face whatever comes his way. He has no idea what I have in store for him.
In the evening, I went out to sit in the garden. “Well, it’s supposed to be safe now that these idiots are gone.” I finally had time to think about my father’s condition and how to make it better. I didn’t know what to do, and I was clueless.
My brother came to sit down beside me, watching the stars with me.
“I noticed you have the habit of watching the stars.”
“That’s because Mom is in one of those stars, and I’m looking out for her. Though I don’t know which one she is, maybe she is all of them,” I replied to him.
He took my hand in his. “Mia, I know you’ve been doing a lot to save our father, which is quite commendable, but I think you should stop now.”
I quickly took my hand off his. “What did you just say?”
“You are wasting a lot of your blood and power by trying to save him when his condition can’t be saved. I know you have healing abilities, but I think you can only save people who aren’t on the verge of death. There’s nothing we can do about our father anymore.”
I can’t believe I am listening to him say all of this to me. I have been trying so hard for days, with my blood, sweat, and everything, to save his life, and now he wants me to give up? I’m seeing a little progress from everything. It’s not supposed to work so easily like that, and now he wants me to throw everything away?
“I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear anything you said. I won’t throw my efforts away just because you are asking me to. It’s my life, and I get to make the decision,” I said to him, determined to continue treating my father.
“I’m telling you this because it’s for your own good. You can’t continue doing this. You will lose your body soon enough. Don’t you see how weak you are now?” he questioned me.
“Still, he’s your father, and you want him to die just like that? You’re not even trying to save him; you’re trying to kill him! How am I even sure if you tried any method at all?” I angrily shouted. “I’ve been trying so hard to save his life, and you want me to throw everything away because you don’t believe in me or him!”
“You know that’s not what I mean, Mia. You shouldn’t take things the wrong way. I’m just trying to help you out here,” he tried to explain, but I wasn’t having any of it.
“Don’t give me any of those lies! I know what you are after, and I won’t let you have it. As long as I’m here, I’m going to make sure our father wakes up!”
“Maybe you are tired of him because you’ve been with him your entire life, but I’ve never gotten a chance to be with my father. He’s the only parent I have left, and you want me to give up on him? What a child you are. Is it because of the position of the Alpha?”
I realized I had said too much. After I said everything, he looked hurt by my words and didn’t bother to say anything else. He just stood up and started to leave. I didn’t know how to call him back to apologize because I was still angry at the fact that he wanted me to throw my efforts away.
But I shouldn’t have said that to him. He probably has a lot of insecurities, and I touched one of them. I couldn’t sleep the entire night, thinking about what I said to my brother. I kept planning how to apologize to him, but nothing came to mind. I was too scared to go and meet him.
He has been nice to me since we met, and now that I provoked him, he probably won’t see me the same way again. I guess I really have the luck of ruining things that are supposed to be good for me.
While I was still tossing and turning on my bed, I heard a knock on my door. I went to open it, and I was surprised to see my brother standing at the door. I was lost for words and didn’t know what to say to him.
“Since I came to see you, I’m going to go first. I apologize for calling your efforts a waste. I was trying to get you to stop doing what you were supposed to do. I hope you forgive me for my stupidity,” he apologized to me. “It’s not that I don’t believe in what you can do. I’m just a bit worried about your health. I hope you don’t take it the wrong way.”
“No! I didn’t take it the wrong way. I’m also sorry for saying all those harsh words to you. I tend to say things I don’t mean when I’m angry. I apologize.”
I looked down, unable to meet his gaze. He pulled me into a hug and comforted me.
“Thank you for making me see the light and not giving up on our father. You are really a good person. I promise you I won’t bring this up again, and no matter what it takes, I will help you revive him.”
I guess things were not as difficult as I thought they would be. Now, I’m going to be able to walk around freely without thinking about what to do.
“Thanks a lot for believing in me too. I promise I won’t let you down.”
