Inexperienced Love (under construction)

Chapter Ten

Chapter Ten

Thane

I clenched my hands tight, the ache going up my arms. My jaw set tight, trying my hardest not to say anything, not to burst out. Never has this five foot journey out the door of my office felt so long. But after hearing Ariel's childhood, everything she's been through it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

The way she looked at me, her eyes pleading me to finally break my walls, and they did. I had placed my hand on her cheek, I had embraced her. I was finally giving the comfort my mate needed, and in return she gave me comfort too. But fate is cruel.

Fate dangled the one thing I ever needed in front of me and then snatched it away. All I ever wanted, since I was child, was a mate. To love her, cherish her. To experience the love that only my mate can give me. I wanted her warmth and provide her warmth in the process, I wanted to hear her laugh as she makes me laugh. But I was my father's son, and I was destined to never experience those things.

Alpha?  I heard Jared's voice in my mind. He was waiting for me by the cottage that was well hidden on the territory. It had been the news he provided that had snapped me back to reality. I had to step away from my mate, I had to watch her eyes fill with hurt. I had watched the last piece of hope die in her eyes. But it was for the best. I was too dangerous for her. I was a ticking time bomb and I will not make the same mistakes my father did.

I'm coming I reply with a growl. I was in no hurry to see him again, even if he was dying. He was the reason for my torture.

I lean against the closed door of my office and shut my eyes tight. I could hear the cries of mate from the other end. I lay my forehead against the cold wooden door as my cheeks stain in tears.

I hated this. It was getting harder and harder being so cruel to her. 

But I couldn't let her leave. I had to make sure she stayed near me, enough so I could protect her from the dangers of the world. But have her hate me so I could keep enough of a distance to protect her from myself.

I stayed as I was, my forehead against the wood and tears down my cheek. This was the closest I could get to my mate. 

As she quiets down, I know I have to leave. I roughly wipe my cheeks clean and stand quickly. Giving one more glance at the door I turn and head out the house.

By the time I reach the cottage, I've calmed down and I was back to my Alpha self. I take a deep breathe, it's been a couple months since I've last visited him. I nod at Jared as I walk into the cottage. I will forever be in debt of him and the loyalty he's shown me.

I walk through the house to the room on the far right end. Opening the door I lock eyes with him as he sits in the back of his cell, his back slumped against the wall. I never did look him him.

"Hello Father." I hiss.
