"What're you doing down here?" I ask her, walking towards her to get a closer look. She was very dirty and the stench burned my eyes.
"Long story. But I'm not concerned about me. I'm concerned about you and my son. How's that going?"
"It's not really going. He doesn't want me or anything so why does our relationship matters. He only cares about the pups and that's all that matters. We aren't a thing."
"Pfft, you really believe in his crap? I love my son, but he's the worst liar in the world. I'm a witch, dear. I've been watching both of you and he's different around you. He loves you so much, darling. And he's just getting used to it, he's never loved like that for a very long time."
I try and catch my breath. He loves me? Impossible.
"You really think so?"
"Yeah, I do. I really do. And I think when he learns how to love, you two will be the best power couple ever."
"Thank you..." I didn't know what to call her so I just say thank you.
"It's Arabella, darling. Arabella Bayard."
"Thank you, Arabella."
"You're welcome darling, it's my pleasure."
I start for the door and once my hands grip the small window ledge to open it a small question pops up in my head.
"Why is Alec and Apollo or their father not getting you out?"
"Because their father is the one making me stay here."
"But he loves you. Their father loves you. I've seen how he looks at the photos around the house of you when I walk around. Why is he doing this?"
"I have no idea. But that doesn't matter. Just go to your room, Alec is waiting for you." I leave the dark room and climb up the winding stairs till I reach the door leading to the hallway I came from. It's quiet and looking at the window it's still night. I follow Alec's scent that lead towards my room.
I open the door quietly just in case he was asleep. But he wasn't. He was sitting on that desk chair softly snoring his head facing the wall. His eyes moist and closed. He was up waiting for me to return. I try and close the door as quietly as possible but the click of the lock wakes him with a start.
"Where were you?" He asks, paranoia and bewilderment covers his face and I stood there mouth open but no words coming out.
He takes a deep breathe noticing that I was scared and surprised at his sudden outburst.
"Where did you go?"
"I can ask the same about you." I fold my arms and twist my lips.
"I went out."
"Where? To fuck? Who was it this time? Did you go and fuck the girl I caught you with a while back? Huh? Is that what this is? Am I just your temporary fuck partner? Huh?" I push him as hard as I could and he doesn't even flinch or stumble.
"I can't fuck anymore."
"What?"
"I said I can't fuck anymore because of you. Every time I approach someone your scent just runs through my nose and I can't. I don't know what spell you put under me but I can't have sex with just anyone. The only person I can have sex with is you. And I hate that."
"It's not a spell, Alec. It's called loving someone. Ever heard of it?" I look up at his perfect grey eyes and I step closer and closer until my belly is touching his and I can feel his racing heartbeat.
"I don't love you. I don't love anybody." He says but his words sound forced like he doesn't like saying it but he feels the need to. I peck his lips and pull his chin down so we're eye to eye. I put hi arms around my waist and I hop onto him, wrapping my legs around his waist and to keep me from falling he tightens his grip. I kiss his neck and leave a trail until I get to his lips.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you before. I'm just so sad. My mother was everything to me and then my bastard father and my fake friends just lied and betrayed me. I shouldn't have yelled at you." I put my head on his neck and I breathe onto his neck. I wanted to see what his mom saw in him. I want Alec to know that I love him and that it's okay to love me too.
"Love me, Alec." I beg, kissing his neck once more. I hear him suck in his breathe and his grip on me continues to tighten. I feel a bulge come from his pants and it touches in between my legs. I want him so badly but I need to know that he loves me. I need what his mother says to be true because I have no one know except for the two growing lives inside of me who I know will love me forever. I move my head from the crook of his neck and back to his fac.
"Why aren't you saying it? Say it back."
He puts me down and walks towards the bed but doesn't sit down.
"I won't say it back because I don't love you. I don't love anyone."
"Liar." I shout through my teeth, desperately trying to fight back tears.
"I'm lying, Valentina? I'm lying? Let me say it slower for you to understand. I. Don't. Love. You." He says. I've never been more humiliated in my life.
"Are you so ashamed of me that you can't say you love me? Is that what it is?"
"No it's just that I don't. I don't love people, Valentina. That's not me. Never will be ever again."
"What about the other girl?"
"What other girl?"
"Your mother said you never loved anyone like that for a long time meaning that you loved someone before you ever knew about me, right? How can you love that other girl but you can't love me, your mate?" I grip my aching stomach and look dead in his face.
"Just because you're my mate doesn't mean I have to love you. It just means the moon goddess believed it's fate."
"Fuck you. I hate you." I walk towards the secret door that led to the corridor.
"Where are you going?" He walk towards me and I put my hand in the air to make sure he doesn't get closer.
"Don't fucking touch me you sick bastard. I'm going wherever I want to go. Hell, I might even go to the Rogues part of the forest if I want."
"No you're not."
"You don't love me so why the fuck do you care?" I ask and slam the door behind me. I transform into a wolf and run as fast as I can without stopping. I know he's faster than me but he underestimated me. I don't have anyone anymore so I'm going to just focus on my babies and find somewhere that I can build a new life and raise my children.
I'm hurting so much and I don't think this aching will end anytime soon. Hopefully, I will find someone new from this new life I plan to build for myself. Someone who'll love me till the end of time and treat me like their equal rather than their inferior other.
But there's one thing that I wanted that I couldn't get anymore. Someone who I knew would love me back no matter the fucked up shit I've ever done is my mother. Now I have no one and that's a damn shame.
