The Head Alpha's Widow Beta

THAWB 29

Alexander's POV

It took around two hours for Micheal to step out of the room. The moment he stepped out, my heart broke. There were tear stains on his face, the tears haven't stopped yet and there was no wall. I was feeling his raw emotions and they were just painful.

"Love..." I pulled him in a hug.

The moment he was in my arms, he bursted out crying. I held him as tight as I could but every sob of his was breaking my heart.

Suddenly, Tina came out of the council room.

"We have decided to take down the pack" she said and looked at Micheal who crying in my arms while clenching my t-shirt "Take him home. He shouldn't have suffered so much"

I frowned because I don't the details "I have no idea what he has been through. I don't know how to comfort him" it hurts that strangers know what happened to him but I don't.

"It's better that if you don't know. Because if the alphas who are not his mate had a hard time controlling themselves from ripping apart a dead wolf, then his alpha wouldn't be able to control at all" she looked at me "If that bastard was alive, then I am sure Micheal would have told you what happened, Alexander but he is not alive. Your wolf would never be able to hold back" 

"This is just making me wonder more, what the hell happened to my mate?! The man whom I have never seen loose his control, not even once is crying his eyes out like a baby after talking about what happened. You don't know the pain I can feel because for the first time, he let his walls down completely"

Tina showed me a small smile "I will never know, Alexander and I don't want to know. Just stay by his side, he needs you more than ever right now. Don't question him about his past"

"If I didn't do it while everything happened since the day I found out he was my mate, I won't now" 

Tina nodded "Take him home. We will keep you both updated with everything happening"

I nodded "Do we need to stay in the town?"

"It would be better if you stay in the town for a few days, in case we need him"

I frowned. I am not letting him speak or even think about those times again "No, you will not talk to him about his past, again. You will not come to him for that. You got everything you wanted"

"I know you are being protective, Alexander and I completely agree with your protectiveness because if I was in your place then I would have been too. But if we need a little more information to take the pack down, he needs to talk. We can't have another victim like him"

"Give him sometime to calm down" I knew she was right but I don't have the hurt to make him feel what he is feeling. It hurts that he is hurting so much and I don't know what to do.

Tina smiled at me and nodded "You know, he told us that when his mate accepts him for him, he will come and tell us everything" 

I frowned. He met the council before?

"When did he meet you?"

"To become your pack member, as a beta, he had to come here for some process. He told us that then. That was the first time when he came to us. The second time was when him and your father had work in the city, I think he was in his early twenties. He came to us and told us, he had found his mate but his mate hasn't reached the age yet. So, after they reach their age and accept him, he will come and tell us"

"He knew I would accept him no matter what. He knew that all along" I said while looking at Micheal who seemed to have long fainted because I can feel his calm breath but the pain is still the same.

"Yes. He was right, you did accept him"

"I always wondered why he never approached me once, he never even looked at him like that. On top of that, he avoided me as much as he could"

"He did that because he knew his wold goes crazy around you and he didn't want to be like his previous head alpha even though this time you are his mate. He hated that bastard and if he became like him then he would never forgive himself"

I sniffed "My mate is the best" I sniffed his hair and was surprised.

"What happened? Is something wrong with him?!" 

"His scent... It changed"

"I will call the medics"

I smiled "No"

"You are smiling. Why?"

"Because when his parents visited, his mother told that his scent is fresh and like a forest in spring"

"Then about his rainy and gloomy forest scent?"

"That is his sad scent" I hugged him tighter and pecked his head while I was still smiling "My mate is healing. He is healing" I looked at Tina with teary eyes "After year, he is healing after you so many years"

"I am glad" she showed a genuine happy smile.

"It isn't that much different, but he is healing and that's all that matters. One step at a time"

"Yes. You should go home, now"

"Yes.  Thank you" I smiled, genuinely because if it weren't for him letting out in front of them of whatever he had been through then this would have never happened.

"He had his support. I will go and discuss of our next of how to take the pack down" I nodded. She went back inside and closed the door.
