Chapter 76

Mabel

Seeing Jerome, who was laying on the bed like a dead dog of wood, I felt my heart ache, and I couldn't help but feel pain that he would have to die. I knew that things might not move the way I want them to between the both of us, but there is no way I would be able to get things to go back to normal. Things had turned out this way because of his choices. He chose to be with Erica, and now he would pay for the consequences of that.

The anger I was feeling earlier when Erica was talking to me in a commanding tone had vanished, and I was in a state of anger, not knowing what to do. It was like things weren't always as I wanted. I had promised myself to pretend to care for him, but that won't be the case anymore because I will care for him. I will care for him and make him feel what it is to be cared for by another person who isn't one's mate.

I knew that the head of the werewolf council wouldn't have wanted to kill him if he hadn't wanted to be with Erica so badly, and I knew that Erica would be the death of him. I knew he didn't know about my agenda here, and I didn't want anyone to find out about it. It isn't as I want that thing we're working on, and that's all his faults. He had told me before that he would soon return home, but he didn't. Instead, he went ahead and fell for Erica, so he wouldn't have been wanted dead.

It was like the head of the werewolf council was working for me. It was like he knew about what was going on with me; he seems to have understood my pain and wanted to act on it, but I have already forgiven him. He is paying for his sins, and that is what made him hurt like this. If he had agreed to come with me to the pack, then all this time wouldn't have happened, but he doesn't seem to follow my words.

"I hope you are getting better." I asked after a while, and he smiled sadly as he stared at me, and I knew that he wasn't happy with what he had done. Erica wasn't in the ward anymore; she had left a few minutes ago.

"I'm getting better; how are you doing?" He asked with a sad look on his face. He seems to feel guilty for what he has done, but there is no way he would turn the hand of the clock backwards.

"I'm fine," I replied, knowing that the more I thought about it, the more I would feel hurt. I knew that there was no way I would not cry if he kept on talking about our breakup.

"I'm sorry I broke up with you that way," he started, and I felt my heart stop beating instantly, knowing that he regretted all his actions, but what I didn't expect was that his next word would shatter my pride. I feel like he wanted us to get together, but I knew that wouldn't be possible since he is going to die soon and I would be the cause of his death, which you don't want.

"I know the way I broke off the engagement may be heartless, but I have to do that; that's the only idea I have at that time." "I won't want us to be enemies because of what had happened," he concluded, and I felt my anger rise to its peak. All that was on my mind was to initiate the plan, but I knew that I needed to be calm in order to get things done. I will make sure that he pays for what he just said.

I was shocked with what he said, and that was because I thought he would apologize to me for breaking up with me and say that he wants me to be his wife and mate, but that isn't what he said. I knew not to act like what was on my mind, and the only thing I should do is act along.

I wasn't willing to do what I was told to do by the head of the werewolf council, but seeing the way he talked to me now made me want to get it done.

His words are like a hot knife that was laced with wolfsbane and pierced my heart. My heart ached with pain as I stared at him while trying to conceal it.

"It's fine; I'm alright." "You should focus on your partner," I said with a fake smile.

"Thanks for understanding; I really appreciate it," he said, and I stared at him with hatred while trying to conceal it.

The door soon opened, and Erica walked into the room with a smile on her face. I knew that she was up to something.

"You can bring your things into the room I provide for you," Erica said, and I stared at her with a smile on my face.

"How long will you be staying?" Jerome asked weakly.

"Two days. I will see you later." "I need to go now," I said, and I walked out of the room with Erica, who was glaring daggers at me.

"This is your room," Erica said as soon as we got to a particular room.

I walked inside the room without saying anything, and I plopped down on the bed with a deep sigh.

"I will send one of the pack members to you; you will be given a tour around the pack," Erica added and turned to leave.

"Thank you," I said, and she turned to look at me. She looked away almost immediately.

I sighed heavily looking around the room, and I stood up after a while with the intention of putting my things in place.

I jumped on the bed, and I fell asleep. It has been a tiring and emotionally long day, and I need the sleep to cool things off.
