I Moved On, Why Don't You

Let Me Go

Kyle's pov

The doctor told me that everything was going to be fine and I had to force back a laugh . . . Joey was going to be fine, but nothing else about this situation would ever be alright again . As much as I want to blame Joey for what's happened, I knew that this was all my fault, I knew from the moment that I smelled the scent of apples,  lavender and roses, that I had two mates instead of one; but  instead of accepting the truth, I chance send the one that appealed to me the most and cast the other one aside to fend for themselves. I was the reason that Joey set out on the path he took, I'm the reason he felt he had to be used by different guys, he was trying to fill the empty space left by a neglectful mate. But things were going to change, I was going to take of both of my mates this time, as soon as Joey opened his eyes, I would let him know that I forgive him for everything and that I want to start over. But first, I'm going to find Joel and convince him to give me another chance.

"How is he?"

Jerking around at Joel's voice, I growled when I saw the strange guy from before standing behind him.

"Why did you bring him here?"

"I didn't come to fight with you, Kyle, I came to see if my brother is alright."

"The doctor said that he and the baby are fine, now why is he here?"

"He came along to protect me. Not that it should matter to you who I'm with."

Standing, I made my way over to him, grabbing his arm.

"I need to talk to you, in private."

"Whatever you have to say to my mate, you can say in front of me."

"It's alright, I'll be right back."

The guy seemed like he was ready to argue, but instead he nodded, sitting in a chair beside the door of Joey's hospital room as I led Joel away. We stepped a good distance down the hall, before Joel snatched his arm away and backed away from me.

"What do you want?"

"I . . . I want you to forgive me."

"There's nothing to forgive."

"So you're over what happened? Then we can move forward and_______."

"That's not what I meant. There's nothing to forgive, because it no longer matters. I could never bring myself to love or trust you ever again. Even if I forgave you here and now, I want nothing more to do with you."

"You're joking, right? After everything we've been through, you want to end it like this?"

"It's because of everything we've been through that I can end it so easily. Because all I can think about are the times you said you loved me and would never hurt me and how I begged you to talk to me, but you pushed me away. I needed you, so many times, but you put other people ahead of me, trusted other people over me and even when you found out the truth, you rejected me for the one that hurt me the most. I thought being raped by Jason was the worst thing that could have happened to me, but to come back to school and learn that you were working with him to turn everyone against me, do you know what I'm going through because of you?  Well, do you?"

"I____________."

"Of course you don't, you're the poor innocent Alpha, everyone comforts you while I'm treated like trash. So like I said congratulations on mating with my brother and your new baby, but I don't want anything to do with you."

"You're forgetting one thing, I'm youre Alpha and if I command it, you'll fall on your back and spread your legs for me any time I want you to and no matter who my mate is."
