Amongst Us

My thoughts were now interrupted by Cadmen.

"alpha everyone is ready for this meeting, they're all in the conference room waiting for you"

"ok I'll be there in a few.... Um cadmen?"

"yes alpha"

"listen I know how you feel about Angelica being here however I really believe she had a reason for doing what she did, I know you don't see it and you may not even wish to see it but I have a feeling there is something and it's going to surprise us all. I'm just letting you know that after this rogue business is sorted out, I'll be talking to Angelica again and she will be told that she either tells us what happened or she has to leave. When that happens I think you should be there, I know you don't see eye to eye with Angelica but I have a feeling everything is not what it seems"

"alpha no disrespect but I don't see why you feel the need to preach her innocence to me Angelica committed treason and she shouldnt be here period... However you are my alpha and if you truly believe you can get her to tell us what happened then by all means but I seriously hope for your sake there really is a reason because otherwise all hell is going to break loose, pack members already think your losing it and I'd hate for anything to happen that's going to break this pack more. I will be present when you speak to Angelica but only because you have asked me too, she's still dead to me, my sister died the day she killed our parents."

"now Cadmen you know just as well as I do that there is no proof that she killed your dad and she hasn't said anything, and for my sake and the sake of the pack I hope I'm right too.I appreciate you being there because I have asked you however I am ordering you to be civil at least talk to her, she needs you Cadmen whether you think there is no reason she is still your sister regardless"

"alpha she killed them, what possible reason is there to be able to forgive that, I cant promise you anything alpha but I will try for the sake of the pack"

"ok well I guess that's all I can ask, so that's it then."

Cadmen's P.O.V

Alpha Lowell and myself walked to the meeting. We were discussing a surprise attack against the rogues and a defence team who will be working out perimeters twice as much as normal, but I couldn't quite concentrate, alpha Lowell really got me thinking about Angelica, I hated her I really did, she killed our parents what else was I supposed to do? What could she possibly say that would excuse what she did? Nothing that's what, but apart of me felt guilty, I seen my mum lying there dead and that was it, I didn't give her a chance to explain what happened, I yelled at her and told her she was dead to me. I left her and never spoke to her again since. Did she deserve a chance to explain? Does she have a reason? I have no clue but it's driving me insane, I have to ask her, I need to know, but will she tell me? Only one way to find out I guess. The meeting finished so I ran out of the room in search for Angelica. I found her at the lake, I smiled to myself ha it figures she hasn't changed much, her and dad used to come down here all the time, I walked over and sat down beside her.

"hey" I whispered

"hi"

"how have you been?"

She laughed at that, guess it was the wrong question, I just didn't know how to talk to her.

"what are you doing here Cadmen?, came to be nice before you rip my head off for attempting to kill your mate?"

"YOU WHAT!!" I yelled

"relax before you burst a blood vessel, it's not like I touched her, she's actually quite lucky alpha Connell was there" she smiled

Wow I haven't seen her smile in forever, I will say my sister was beautiful and her smile had always been one of my favourite things about her, she could light up a room with her smile, it almost felt like old times apart from the dark cloud hanging over our heads.

"look she said some things that my wolf didn't like I got angry, I couldn't control it, I'm sorry Cadmen, I tried so hard to keep the anger at bay, to let what she said go, I just couldn't."

I looked at her, Arella did have a habit to say what she thought and even though I didn't know about it I can't stay angry, I had to ask Angelica what happened. When she spoke though I could feel how lonely she has been for the last year and a half. It hurt to know I helped her feel this bad, this hurt, I don't understand how she can be hurting, she would have had to expect the worst knowing she would have been caught.

"Ange, that's um - that's not why I'm here."

"ok so tell me Cadmen why are you here?"

I didn't know how to ask her, I don't think she'll tell me but will she get angry at me asking her? Guess I'll soon find out.

"I'm sure you have a fair idea Angelica, I-I just w-want the truth, don't you think I at least deserve that?"

"you want the truth....she laughed "after all this time and not talking to me, telling me I was dead to you and now you decide you want to ask me what happened" she spat

" I get it ok, I should have asked a long time ok I get that, but I was hurt ange both my parents gone and only you know why you did it."

" I can't tell you Cadmen, you'd never believe me anyway it doesn't matter what happened, just leave it in the past, it's better kept there anyway"

"what does that mean? You can't tell me I'd never believe you, if there is something Angelica just tell me"

"just leave it alone, ok I hated them, I'm glad their gone, just leave it be" she yelled

"I don't want to leave it be Angelica I want the damn truth"

"you want the truth, ok then, I did you a favour that day, I did the pack a favour. You and everybody else will never understand, no one ever will dammit just forget about it and just keep hating me, it's easier that way"

She got up and ran away from me. She was crying and I was the cause of it again, she did us a favour what the hell does that even mean, I had to talk to alpha lowell, something did happen, something big I could tell by the way she spoke to me it was pure honesty. The way she looked at me, the hurt in her eyes the way it seemed she was so ready to open up and tell someone, it couldn't be me though, I had my chance and I had hurt her. I do believe that there is something alpha was right about his feeling, but why won't she say anything?
