Ava’s pain from the day she understood what pain is came back rushing to her. Everything her father ever did to her and her mother. Everything he allowed people to do to her. No one treated her right. Not even her father’s slaves. It was just her mother. And whem she got to Alpha Jax’s pack, he did not treat her right. Everything up until that moment rushed back to her memory. It felt like her world was falling apart, and all she had at the moment was Benjamin. Benjamin could sense her weakness. He appreciated that she is weak with him, but that’s not what he wants from her. He wanted her to tell him the truth about Alpha Jax. What they discussed and why she went to meet him. Ava has not made mention of that. She is still weeping, and he promise he would take care of her.
Hours later, Ava is sleeping. Benjamin sat anxiously on his table right before his chair. He was expecting news from the scout he sent to night wolf pack, to tell him who the new Alpha is. But he has nothing to do before then. The scout should have arrived early in the morning. But since he has not seen him, he will still wait till the end of the day. He picked up the letter her mother sent her, and he decided to read it.
“Dear daughter, I am sorry that I have not been able to get to you in such a long time since you left. I had no idea what was happening. Even when I thought it’s mere marriage, I tried my best to get to you, but your father would not allow me. It’s a new Alpha from the night wolf pack that relay the message to me. He said your father sold you to Alpha Jax of Bond moon pack for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Money that your father has its abundance with him. He just wanted to get rid of you.
How are you being treated? The Alpha said something like you are a sex slave to Alpha Jax. It hurts to heart that. You are born of royal blood. I have birth to you just like I gave birth to your brother. I see none of you differently. But your father has been treating you differently.
I don’t know how and when this letter will get to you, but this Alpha (I can’t recall his name right now, when I do later before i sent this letter, I will say it.) The Alpha and your father have been having meetings with some other Alpha. It means war is brewing. They are planning on attacking Alpha Jax pack. With the bond I have over you as your mother, I don’t want you to tell him. I just want you to be safe. The war is to rescue the Alpha’s mate and you.
I wonder what kind of person the Alpha’s mate is. The Alpha does men. Can you imagine? I caught him one time with some men. They were having sex, and he seems to enjoy it. It’s a shameful thing really, but who am I to talk.
Dear Ava, please stay strong for me. You will come back home soon, and I will make sure your father treats you right. When you come home, I will go to the priestess with you. Few months in the shrine and the goddess might consider you and change who your mate is. I see you have suffered my dear. Don’t go through what I went through in your father’s house. Don’t hope on him to love you later on. I don’t think it works that way for men.
Take care and protect yourself. Love from mother,”
Benjamin read the whole letter and he is surprised at the contents. He does not feel satisfied with it. The mother promised she was going to write the name of the Alpha. Benjamin could feel excitement and his curiosity heightened.
“Did she forget?” He asked himself.
He flipped to the other side of the letter and he saw nothing. He picked up the envelope that the latter was in and he checked. He saw a paper in it. He opened it.
“I told your brother that I am writing to you. He cried, and he says he loves you too,” she ended the letter. He dropped both papers on the table. He sat down. He stood up and pace around.
“I am not trying not give myself hope but if what this letter says is true? Could it be that it’s Shane Moss who is the new Alpha?” Benjamin asked himself.
“Let me not get too excited. How could it be Shane Moss? He cannot kill his Alpha. Since all these years that I have been here? It cannot be him,” his thoughts countered his excitement. Benjamin knows that there are other gay people in his pack, but he does not know of anyone whose mate was captured by Alpha Jax.
“Oh my goodness! Shane Moss is alive. My mate is alive!” He jumped in excitement.
Ava did not sleep long. She woke up but did not feel like standing up or moving at all. She lay on Benjamin’s bed just like that. She did not see him when he started reading the letter. She would not have stopped him even if she had sen him. But it was after he read it that she knew he read the letter. His excitement. The questions he asked himself. The way he paced around. And when he screamed happily that his mate is alive.
She knew at that moment that she can never have him. She got angry while still laying in bed. He is not the bad guy. It’s fate who is trolling her. Also she feels glad that if Alpha Jax should truly change, there would be nothing or feelings to stop her from marrying him. Benjamin will be with his mate, and she will be with her mate. She feels their little play of love, no matter how real it is, should come to an end. Each person still loves their mate at the end of the day.
