EPISODE THIRTY
THEME: Secrets
BLACK MOON PACK
(Avery’s Point Of View)
The first dream I had about the she wolf was her killing me in the presence of my mate which had almost made me give myself to my mate. My mind reflected back in Kayden’s responses. It was a nightmare, I had tried to calm myself down. I was terrified by it. I was troubled that my mate was seeing another wolf. Troubled that she would end my life just to be with my mate. That night I had so many questions bugging my mind and they resurfaced again.
“Are you seeing another she-wolf?” Yes he has been seeing Corinna. I remember blaming myself if perhaps it turns out that my mate was seeing another she wolf because I had refused to complete the mating bond. Having to share my mate with another she wolf was what I never prayed for in my life. Kayden had denied it.
“I think the alpha doesn’t love his mate to start with and it’s either his mate wasn’t giving him what he wanted – sex. I can’t be sure. But why do I feel like this is about-” Kayden had paused definitely he was able to relate the story to what he has done.
He denied it. He stated that it was wrong of me to feel insecure and not trust him. I wasn’t happy accusing him of seeing other wolves because those claims had made him angry. I tried to sleep with him but he didn’t agree saying that I wasn’t ready. Even if I had given myself to him at that moment, it won’t change the fact that he was cheating at that time.. and even now!
I don’t want to believe this is my fault! No, I won’t take the blame this time! I have done nothing wrong!
These nightmares are becoming so real. The she wolf had told me about her having a pub and truly she is now carrying my mate’s child!Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
I cried out as I ran back to the pack house feeling betrayed and disheartened. Just when I had hope that we were going to get back together as lovely mates and now this happened again! It is so frustrating! I can’t take it anymore! I doubt if Kayden and I are really meant to be mates! But then again if I am his mate then Corinna is his mistress.
What I don’t understand is why he accused me of cheating and got really mad at me when he was fucking doing the same!
I opened the door, met Alpha Scott, Luna Beatrice and Katherine in the living room and their heads snapped to look at my way. Surprise looks grazed their faces as I stood rooted to the spot. I didn’t expect that they would be here, my intention was to stay locked up in the room. It was too late to wipe my tears and pretend like nothing was wrong. They would never believe me.
And before I knew it, Luna Beatrice was out of the couch to meet me. “Avery, what’s wrong?” She asked.
I couldn’t utter a word, all I did was just cry. It felt like my heart was going to burst. My wolf was heart broken that I could feel the pain in my whole system.
“Avery, please tell me what’s wrong?” Luna Beatrice requested.
She tried to hold my hand but I sidestepped her. Perhaps does his family know about it?
“Avery, please tell us what’s going on?” Katherine demanded in a concerned tone.
I swallowed hard and tried to speak. “Kayden.. Kayden..” my voice trailed off as I bit on my lower lip.
“Did he hit you again?!” Alpha Scot snarled.
All of a sudden I sensed his scent-Kayden was here behind me. “Avery.” He called my name.
“What have you done to her again?!” Alpha Scott came closer and pointed at his son while Luna Beatrice reached out to hold me and I let her do it this time.
She and Katherine pulled me aside so Alpha Scott could talk to his son.
“What have you done to her this time?!” Alpha Scott demanded.
“She found out.” He mumbled looking straight at his mom and sister.
What does he mean? I heard Katherine utter a profanity. “Damn it!” And it didn’t take long for me to figure what was going on. They knew about the affair.
“She found out about what?” Alpha Scott asked.
I let go of Luna Beatrice hand as I looked at her. “Avery-”
“I cheated on her.” Kayden said.
“What?” Alpha Scott sounded surprised. “You did what?” He asked again.
“I cheated on Avery with Corinna.. and now.. she is carrying my child.” Kayden confessed.
My child. This means Kayden would accept the baby Corinna was carrying. His words broke my heart even more and I closed my eyes.
“You fool!” Alpha Scott snarled followed by a sound that made me reopen my eyes immediately.
Kayden head was turned sideways. Alpha Scott slapped his son. Luna Beatrice left me to meet her husband.
“Scott-”
“How long have you known about the affair?!” He grimaced in anger.
“Calm down, I can explain.” Luna Beatrice said.
“Calm down? Look at her!” He pointed at me. “What explanation do you have to give to someone who was abused by her own mate and today she finds out that he is cheating and will have a child soon!” He snarled at his wife.
“It has been so long.. I didn’t know-” Luna Beatrice paused. “I thought they ended the relationship when Avery came into the picture.” She stood in between her son and husband to stop whatever Alpha Scott might do to him. She would take the blow for her son but I doubt if Alpha Scott would be able to hit his old mate.
“We can talk things out.” Luna Beatrice said looking at me.
“What? This is the height of it all! You want to beg for forgiveness from her again? I felt ashamed when I heard that he hit her.. I have never done that to you! So now you put yourself right in her position what would you do? This girl has never done anything wrong your son! She has loved him the way any woman would have loved him!” He pointed at Kayden who already stepped out behind his mother.
But Luna Beatrice stood in front of him again. “Even if you were in a relationship with Corinna, you should have ended things the moment you found your mate!” He pointed at me this time. “Corinna is pregnant! Which only means that you have been seeing her even after you found your mate!” Alpha Scott was furious. He would have pounced on his son if his wife wasn’t standing in the gap between them.
I didn’t want to hear any words anymore as Luna Beatrice begged her husband and asked me for a chance to talk things out calmly. I never knew a day would come that alpha Scott would support me. I thought he hated me and felt that I don’t deserve his son.
I turned away to walk to the bedroom. I could still hear the old couples arguing downstairs as I locked the door. Alpha Scott made reference to how I never wanted a mate, despite my reason for a good course which he never liked but he admitted that he was starting to regret the day he came to our pack to claim me as his son’s mate. Alpha Scott said that if he had known that things would turn out this way then he wouldn’t have dared to come find me. He ended with the words that he would never plead on his son’s behalf and it fine for me to make my decision even if I choose to reject my mate.
I hated the argument that ensued between Alpha Scott and Luna Beatrice. This family was so peaceful, I have never seen the old couples exchange words but they did today. I felt guilty for the rift between them. You know all these things won’t have happened if I wasn’t mated to Kayden.
Why didn’t the moon goddess pair Corinna and Kayden together as mates? Maybe I won’t have been in the picture. Maybe I won’t have to go through all these pains.
My mind drifted back to last night. I don’t want to have any regrets but I recalled Kayden crying and apologizing to me. Perhaps is it for this reason? Was he apologizing in case I find out that he has been seeing another she wolf?
“I don’t want to die.” I replayed Corinna’s words in my head, how she was determined to have a baby for my mate, definitely she was ready for whatever is to come. She would have a child for my mate in-spite of the gossips that might stir up in the pack. She doesn’t even care if I was in the picture.
For Corinna to speak so boldly that she doesn’t care if Kayden has a mate then it means that she must have something else in mind and she wouldn’t stop at achieving it. I am the stumbling block between Corinna and Kayden so she would probably do anything to take me out of their lives.
So instead of her to take my life, I would rather leave, go somewhere far where no one will ever find me. I’ll be fine. Trust me, I’ll be fine.
