Soul Mate

Chapter 60

Sebastian's POV

I was currently out of the Infirmary, Casper had finally managed to convince me to go out and get some sun. Apparently I was looking deader than the dead.. his words not mine.
I walk through the front door of the cabin, and nostalgia hits me. I hadn't been back here since the night my father was brutally murderd. I push back the sad feelings that threaten to overtake me and walk down the hallway. I pass my dad's office without sparing it a glance and head up the stairs.
I hear sounds coming from my parents room once I reach the top. I change my direction and walk over to their room whose door is wide open. I stand at the entrance and watch my mom open and close drawers as she takes out stuff and neatly places them in suitcases.

"Are you just going to stand there or come in and help me." She asks, finally acknowledging my presence.

I hesitate a moment longer before finally walking in. It was what me and my dad used to do before entering into each other's rooms. You just don't walk into another's territory.. but now he was gone.
I watch as my mom places a bunch of neatly folded shirts that belonged to my dad into a suitcase. Then she pauses and sits on the bed.

"How is he?" She asks quietly.

"The same mom. The only thing that shows he's still alive is the heart monitor." I say, joining her on the bed.

She reaches out for my hand and holds it between hers.

"He will pull through. I know it's hard, losing your father and now this. But I raised a strong man. Your father was proud of you, proud of the man you've become. I know he never said it much, but he loved you."

I look away from her, I didn't need to break down infront of her. The fact that She was the one who lost her mate and was comforting me was making me extremely emotional.

"You dont have to leave you know. This is your home mom." I tell her once I've regained some semblance of composure.

"Your father and I had already decided this Sebastian. Once you became Alpha, we would leave. So it's time for me to go. This place is now yours and River's." She explains.

"So where will you go?"

This makes her chuckle, a smile on her face. Though it doesn't reach her eyes.

"The cabin your father built on the other side of town. And don't look at me like am going to live in another continent. It's just a few miles away."

I nod.

"Help me empty the closet. I want to finish this as quickly as possible so I can go see the Blairs. They need my support. Mrs Blair hasn't been sleeping ever since you found her child. I feel for her as a mother."

My mom, always the giver. Even now, she was thinking of other people's pain , ignoring hers. It was one of the reasons why she was a great Luna. Her compassion and empathy.

It takes us around 2 hours to finish clearing up the room. Another 1 hour to deal with my dad's office. And once we are done, he rushes out to see my Mate's family.

I go back upstairs and walk into my room and just stare. The fact that the bed has no sheets surprises me. The last time I was in here, my mate was in bed fast asleep. Perhaps he took them off when he woke up. I walk into the bathroom and take my clothes off before hitting the shower. I turn the water on and just stand there letting it hit me, my muscles relaxing Abit. The memory of the last time I was in here flashes in my mind and I choke on a sob.
My father was dead, my mate was fighting for his life and I had to plan a war amidst all that.

I break down..

I lean my forehead onto the tiled wall and just let it all out. This was the first time I was letting myself break down and cry since that day, a week ago.
I cry till I can't breathe, and my eyes are red and swollen.
After the dam breaks, I gather the little strength I have to finish my shower. I needed to get back to my mate. I'd already spent so much time away.

I shut the water off, grab a towel and pat myself dry. Then wrap the damp towel around my waist before walking out of the steamy bathroom.

I smell her before I even see her. My bare feet halt immediately and my head slowly turns to her.
I wasn't in the mood for anything right now except my mate.

"What do you want Satin?" I ask the girl who seems bell bent on harassing my mate.
She gets off my chair and approaches me.

"I was worried about you. You know after your father's death. Been trying to find you but you were cooped up in the Infirmary and they wouldn't let me in."

I can't help but catch onto the bitterness in her tone as she says the last part.

"I asked not to let anyone in." I say as I head into my closet to find anything to wear. Her stare was unnerving me.

"But am not just anyone Seb. Am your friend and I care about you." her voice follows behind me.

"Do you mind! I need to get dressed." I almost snap when I see her standing at the door to my closet.

"Since when do you shy away from me??" She asks, trying to sound sexy.

My patience was really running out.

"Since we are NOT together anymore. And no, we stopped being friends the moment you decided to insult my mate." I say before slamming the door in her face.

I quickly search for what to wear, then grab a backpack and fill it with fresh clothes. I'd been wearing Casper's clothes for the past week. I couldn't keep torturing the guy.

Boxers ✅
Shirts✅
Pants✅
Blair's shirts ✅
Jacket✅

I mentally check to confirm that I hadn't left anything behind because I wasn't planning on coming back here without my mate in tow.
Once satisfied, I open the door and walk out really hoping satin had left.

Nope.. still there.

She's perched on the sofa arm, her long legs on full display. I don't know whether her position was deliberate or not but it wasn't working. Looking at her bare legs was doing absolutely nothing to me.

"Am heading out." I say as I root around for my phone charger.

"How is he. I heard he is unresponsive?" She asks instead.
I spare her a glance before turning back to my task.
Where was the damn thing!!??

"He's good. Getting better." I lie.

"Oh!. so he's awake now?" Her reaction makes me pause, then turn to her.

"Why do you care Satin? I Know for a fact You would rather see him dead."

"Oh no don't get me wrong.. I asked only because I care about you. Not that insect. I mean he could die for all I care. whoever did that to him should have finished the job!!..What's that insect's purpose anyway?? To give you a hole to Fuck? Because if that's just it...."

And that's when I snap.

I grab her by the neck and slam her against the wall so hard she lets out a sharp scream. My extended claws dig into her exposed neck and I actually break skin. My canines drop and I growl angrily at her insolence.

"Talk about my mate like that again and I will snap your neck like a twig! Disrespect him again and I will throw you out of this pack. Don't test me Satin."

Tears escape her eyes as she struggles against my hold. I don't drop my hold but simply dig my claws alittle deeper and she whimpers. Blood trickles down the sides of her neck.
I finally let go and she drops to the ground gasping for air, her hands around her bleeding throat.

" Now get the hell out of my house!"
She doesn't waste another second and promptly gets to her feet.

"You will regret this Sebastian." She says before walking out of the room.

Too late.. I already regretted the day I let her into my life. I should have known better.
