Forgive me

Part 5 enlightement

While he carried her in his strong arms, he could feel that she was shaking even in her sleep, which made his anxiety even worse, with the last knowledge he could extract from her, in only one way, and he was not sorry to mark her, he already regretted the way he did it. He wanted it to be different. He knew that the first time he saw Emma, he was really mean to her, thinking the worst and insulting her, truth be told, the real reason was because he was captivated by her appearance at first glance, but also by her character, which betrayed her the strength to fight, regardless of her past and fragile appearance. He put her down on the big bed in his room, 'their room', he thought, because he had already ordered that the smaller room next to it be transformed into a room for Hope, who was now enjoying her time with the nannies, and although he knew that Emma would have a hard time letting him into her heart, he prayed that it wouldn't be like that, because he would be with her to change it, no matter how long it took.He gently undressed her and dressed her in his shirt, admiring her perfect body, but her scars pained him and created an anger in him that he could barely contain. He did NOT want anyone to touch her or come near her, so he did everything himself, gently tucking her into the quilt, and kissing her warm forehead lightly, then he headed to the closet, took a few things to change, looked once more to see who was sleeping , and gently closed the door, leaving the room. It was very hard for him to be away from her, his wolf was too strong to contain him, but Arden was just as strong, and aware of her fear and aversion to him, because it was his fault, it was his fault that at the first meeting he behaved like that towards her, but the one who was really guilty will have to pay, they will find him and tear out his heart with his own hands, whether he was his brother or not, because maybe he could understand his madness and illness, who had eaten him since childhood, and that she had forced their parents to death, but to take revenge by hurting his Mate, he was not allowed to do that, and for that he will pay.He headed to the office, intending to call Alf Mason and Luna Sara, he had to go to them immediately, he had to know the truth...

He stood in the doorway, looking at Mason, his once best friend, from whom cruel circumstances took him away, but now he knew he had to be honest if he wanted to know the whole truth, because what he saw in Emma wasn't even half of it. , he knew it very well. "Arden," Mason greeted him, beckoning him in while Sara just nodded, excusing that she was busy, but Areden stopped her. "Luna Sara," he said as calmly as he could, "I know my attitude was wrong at the very beginning, but what I want to talk about concerns both Mason and you," he finished. Sara looked at Mason, who nodded to her and walked towards the office, while Arden and Sara followed him. Mason leaned back in the chair, while Sara sat next to him and Arden sat across from him. Arden lifted them both out of bed, and looked significantly at his friend, who just shot him a look, coughing. Arden leaned back in his chair, taking a deep breath... "I marked Emma, ​​without her consent, but it was the only way to find out what happened, or to determine if my suspicions were correct," he said, looking absently at the floor. , while the skin on his forehead wrinkled painfully. "Jesus Christ, Arden, have you lost your mind?!", Mason exclaimed, slamming his fist on the table, which made Sara jump out of her chair, which he noticed, gathering himself, and taking her into his lap. "I really don't know where this is going man, what happened to you all these years?" Alpha Mason asked in disbelief, calmer now. "My twin brother," Arden spoke coldly, looking up, and Mason recognized the same pain he'd seen in his friend's eyes the day everything changed.

Arden laughed bitterly, seeing the astonished looks of his friend and his wife, but he knew he was doing the right thing. Masondidn't want to comment anything, he just shook Sara's hand, who sighed in surprise, he knew how hard all this was for Arden and that's why he remained silent, waiting for his friend to continue. "That day, when Emma's pack was burned and destroyed, it was Khan who did it, with his rogues, I know it because I was there, so you don't have to ask me how I know, and the reason is, because I hunted him to catch him, alive or dead, it doesn't matter, because at that time it was seven years since he killed our parents, but what I didn't know was that he attacked that pack on purpose, and as much as I wondered the reason, it's clear to me now, ... because of Emma..., he knew she was my Mate," he finished, trying to say the last words as calmly as possible, so that his voice wouldn't betray him. "Oh my God," Luna Sara covered her mouth in shock, crying. "What I don't understand is how Emma found herself with you, and how she survived," he looked at Mason coldly, but he couldn't hide the pain in his eyes from him. "Honestly Arden, it was a coincidence, because Sara and I were coming back from vacation, and we saw a strange cloud of smoke, when I sent a scout, I immediately ordered my warriors to come, Sara stayed away with betaJack, and Shon and I we crept slowly to the edge of the forest, to scout the situation, when we saw a body in the grass...", he paused, swallowing. "We thought she was dead," Sarah's voice trembled as she spoke, while Arden tried to calm himself down, clenching his fists until his palms bled from the claws. " "You can assume that Sara didn't listen to me, and came right after me, and she herself picked it up and carried it to the car, ordering Jack to drive like crazy, man it was a long day...", Mason shook his head, clenched teeth. "Basically, by the time the reinforcements arrived, most of the rogues were gone, which was strange, I left my men to help as much as they could, and the gamma to report to me, and took the few survivors into my pack, everything was burned to the ground, now I know the reason..", he stammered quietly. "That's why Isam found, when I arrived, everything was already over, I could see fresh graves, but not living people, I knew that someone had helped, I honestly didn't care who, I was angry and desperate, because Khan escaped, and now it's even worse, because I have to protect what's mine, and knowing he's to blame for everything makes my blood boil," he thundered. Sara's eyes widened, in disbelief, as Mason looked at Arden in disbelief. , dead serious. "Did Khan do that to Emma?" she asked, barely able to find the strength, as Arden's now golden eyes sparkled and his body tensed. "Khan is very dangerous, he has dangerous people, and I'm going to need your help Mason, but your decision is yours alone, but not before you know the whole truth," his powerful aura radiated around him.
