Chase’s POV
“What?”
“You heard me perfectly well Chase” Arya folded her hands. “Don’t try to come up with a clever answer to justify what you have been doing”
I was speechless. What was this? Where was this coming from? “You seemed to have already made up your mind on calling me a killer, so you don’t need an answer from me” I snapped. “Wait a minute I put a hand up in her face. “Where the hell is all this coming from?”
“It doesn’t matter where it was coming from, jug that I happen to hear some of the palace women calling you beast and I was next in line to be eaten or killed…..” I watched as her eyes went hard when she said the word killed. She trailed off saying a lot of thing that that didn’t make it into my head. My heart clenched in anger as I watched Arya speak.
“And so you thought that I would kill you even though we had spent this much time together? Even though you are the mother of my child? Is that what you thought Arya?”
Arya opened her mouth and then closed it again. No words. Before she nodding her head so vigorously that her hair shook up and down.
“Yes” she said, eagerly. “That’s exactly what I thought because it’s the truth Chase. “Isn’t it?”
I stared at her for a long time before I began to laugh. Arya gave me such a scowl that if not that I was Chase king, I would have cowered for a moment. “What’s so funny?” she demanded.
“The smile on my face had gone. It had died on my lies, leaving nothing but a look of sarcastic dislike.
“You are” I said “do you really think I would get close to you, have sex with you. Make you my family, only to end up killing you? I know there are beasts but hoe bad do you see me?
Arya stared at me. She could not utter a word and when she finally spoke, she made the situation word.” how dare you try to pin this on me? I am not the one who kills people for fun”
I glared at her. “I kill people to protect my people. What have you been hearing?”
“The truth!’
My blood boiled and my hands twitched. I stood up from the bed and began to wear my clothes.
“Chase where are you going?” she stood up too coming closer to me.
“I’m leaving. Maybe I was wrong about you”
She stared at me for a while and then went straight to the door. “Alright use it1 leave! Like you always have!”
I looked up at her. “Do you honestly think that If I knew our night together had birthed a child, I would have; left you?”
And that shut her up. At least she knew I didn’t leave. It was just because I didn’t know.
“Well I don’t want to see you again! You unforgiving man” she said as I made my way to the door.
“Look at the way you have killed people. You kill without conscience, people who would have been beneficial to you”
“What the hell are you talking about?” I stopped at the door.
“Look around you. People who are meant to have helped are nowhere to be found. Oh look you sent Mika away” she said.
I frowned. “What are you saying? Because she was the one poising your mind. She meant harm to you”
“Well she’s your friend. You should have forgiven her.” Arya said.
“What?”
“Yes you heard me” she yelled. “The thing that the elders did to you, would not have been possible if she was there. She kept people like them in check”
“Are you crazy Arya?” what the hell is wrong with her?
“Maybe I am…. Maybe I am because I got together with you”
“What the hell are you saying?
“Okay look at me and Jake. After everything that happened. we still talk. I gave him a second chance”
“Arya what’s wrong with you? Jake has done nothing but harm to you?”
“And so?
“What do you mean? And so? That jerk slept with your sister! You blood! What can he not do? He would put you in harm’s way if he can!”
“I don’t care! Jake is a way better man than you”
“What?”
“Stop acting dumb” she said
Those words went straight to my heart and hit me.
I shut my eyes as I took in a deep breath, then I opened them. Arya was glaring at me. She had her hair sticking out in places, her eyes were red but she wasn’t crying, it felt like she was ready to fight with me. Physically. But she was beautiful. Just like the first time I met her. It’s a pity her brain…that she just can’t process information well enough.
“Listen Arya. You can call me a killer. A beast. You can be ashamed of me because you never know my story.-”
“You never told me!”
“You never asked” I snapped at her. Now she was getting me annoyed. I sighed. “I can be all things but I will always be miles and miles ahead of Jake Lucas. I am a better man than him and I tell you this today, if you follow him, he will break your heart into tiny fragments, just like before. This time you might never recover”
And with that I walked out of the house and out if Aryana life. I was wrong about her. She was an omega, always loyal to the piece of shit that broke her heart. Was I thinking that I would earn her love? She doesn’t even know her left from her right.
If she can’t tell who is good for her then she should move away. I was ready to leave everything aside. To hell with this curse. I will manage like before.
As all this crossed my mind I remembered someone.
Innocent of all this but might suffer from it all.
Chamberlin. My heart broke all over again.
