Chapter 16

Mia's POV

I remembered how my mom treated me.
How she protected me from my dad.
And now it was m, turn to help her, to save her. And I failed. I failed to save my mother. And why? Because I was weak bitch who can never do anything, except cause everyone trouble and pain.

I felt like I was the worst daughter in the world.

- Mia. Are you okay?

Aldric asked putting a hand on my shoulder.

It made me feel a bit of comfort until Dante came over and pulled me up.

- Stop embarrassing me!

He said. But I didn't care about his pride right now. His hand met my face. I fell down again and my tears fell. I deserved that. After what I let happen, I deserved to be punishef over and over again. I dserved to feel pain. Lots of it.

He pulled me up by my hair and pushed me against the table.

- Did you understand pet?

I slowly noddedand he let go of me.

- Take her back to my room.

He said to Aldric.

Aldric nodded his head and took my leash.
We headed towards the stairs.

- It's okay Mia don't blame yourself.

His voice was so different from Dante's. It was soft and comforting.
It sounded like he actually cared about me, which I found hard to believe. However his words weren't convincing.

- How can I not? It's all my fault.

He stopped and I chocked as my collar tugged at my neck.

- Why? Because you didn't kill a prince.

- He is not a prince to me! He's just a blood sucking leach like all of you!

I snapped. He pulled on my leash, making me walk closer to him.

- I might not be a person who treats humans like pets, but believe me I can if I want to.

I let another tear roll down my cheek. I finally thought I found someone who was different. Guess not.

- Leave me alone.

I said turning my head away.

- I told my brother I will take you upstairs and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

He pulled on my leash again and lead me up the stairs. I went inside the room and laid down on the bed curling up in a ball.

I cried myself to sleep.

...

Aldrics Pov

- What did you say was wrong with her?

- Hayden most likely killed her mother.

He scoffed. I knew my brother very well.
And he wasn't the type to care about others. A lot of things happened to make him become like this, but I knew my brother, he was too scared to care. Scared he'll get hurt. Again. Father had hurt him enough already.

I only brought Mia to him because he promised he would change with how he treated his pets. I was stupid enough to actually believe him.

- So what?!
He asked. I was vexed at his careless reaction.

- Her mother was her only family left.

He scoffed.

- She was going to stay here anyway. She still wouldn't have seen her stupid mother. Nothing changes the situation.

- Yes brother, but you see, atleast she got to hope that she would be able to see her again.

I took a deep breath and looked at my careless brother.

- But now that she knows she's probably dead, she has no hope left.

- Stop saying "probably"!

He snapped.

- You and I both know that her mother is most definitley dead.

I nodded at his statement.

- You need to figure something out before she starves herself to death.

He started shaking his head, and a chuckle left his lips.

- No brother. You need to figure something out. You were the one who told her.

I scoffed.

- She's your pet and I'm the one looking after her?!

I huffed.

- You made this mess you better clean it up.

I didn't say anything else and just left the room.

I made my way to My brothers bedroom where Mia was. My hand met with the wooden door and I gently knocked. After no response came I entered.
