Your Mistake, My Revenge

Chapter 28

Kip's POV

It seemed like I waited forever for Aaryana to get done talking to her father. But in reality it only took an hour before she showed up at Antoine's cell to talk to me. I heard her walk in and take a deep breath, but when she seen what was left of the cell she gasped. The cell door was completely ripped off and standing against another cell. I figured she would just stand outside the cell to talk to me, but she grabbed a chair and came in. Once she was seated, she started talking. "First of all, I want to say sorry for what I said earlier. You saved my life and I should have thanked you for that, but instead I turned into a bitch and blamed everything on you." She said looking down guiltily.

"It's fine. I would have done that no matter what." I told her. She looked up at me and gave me a small smile.

"Secondly, I want to say sorry for how I treated you. I had no right to say that I would trust Brentin before you. Well, in a way I did because I knew him before I knew you, but still it doesn't mean that I do. Brentin is still trying to earn my trust back, so, no, I don't trust him." She told me. "Did you have any actual mate feelings towards Reae? I mean, is she your mate as well or anything like that?"

I instantly shook my head no. "She was just a chosen mate. After I seen how Julie was, I wanted someone to rule beside me that wasn't willing to sleep with anything. Don't get me wrong, I loved Julie, well my wolf did, but I actually have a stronger pull towards you than I did her." I told her.

"Ok. So, why did you choose Reae as your mate? I mean, she's pretty but that's about it. She seems like a self-centered bitch." She said. I started chuckling.

"When I first chose her, she wasn't like that. She didn't start acting like that until I claimed her as my chosen mate. Once that happened, everything went downhill. She was always demanding and wanting more, which is one of the reasons I attacked your dad and these packs." I told her honestly.

"What are the other reasons?" She asked.

"Well, I was pissed off. My birth parents gave me up to one of the coldest alphas I know. The only one I had to show me any kind of love was my adoptive mother, well until she died anyways. After she died, I was the alpha's punching bag. He'd call me everything from worthless to piece of shit and much worse. He didn't even want to train me to become alpha, even though he didn't have any kids of his own. He would have rather had the pack fall then to have me as the alpha. So, I had his best trainer train me, with some monetary gain, until I was strong enough to take him on. The last time I saw him is the day I challenged him for the alpha title. As you know, those fights are to the death and well, I'm still here so naturally that means I won." I told her. "But then I was also pissed that Brentin had it all. He had two loving parents, a mate that was faithful to him, a pack that respected him, hell he had it all. He even had Julie. So, I wanted him out of the picture as well. The thing I didn't count on was finding out that you were my mate as well. I mean, picture it. I just watched my mate die, then here you come and my wolf calls out 'mate!' how the hell was I supposed to act? Then you had me thrown in Brentin's dungeon and I know you didn't really want to hurt me, you just wanted answers. Yet, you came in there fearless, ready to face the whole world without anyone by your side. You questioned me and then crushed my knees so that I would give you the answers you needed." I chuckled at the memory.

"Wow, I was horrible! Yet, after all of that, you would still risk your life to save me. Why?" She asked.

"I couldn't bear the thought of losing another mate. Julie was hard enough and our bond was weak compared to mine and yours. Just imagine what it would have done if I would have lost you. It would have killed me." I told her. "Look, we don't have to be mates. Just as long as I can be in your life, I will be fine. I can be friends with you if that's all you want. But, if Brentin hurts you again, I will kill him myself."
