ALPHA KNIGHT

9

Even though I had been awake for some time now, I acted as though I was still asleep.
Staring into the darkness, I couldn't believe that majority of my life had been a lie.
Werewolves existed,Sam, the person I had never lied to, had hid the biggest truth about himself from me. It hurts you know. Even hiding something is a form of lying and according to me the worst because it shows how much a person trusts you.
I don't even know who and what to trust anymore.
I know now that werewolves existed, and this meant that other mythological creatures also existed. Maybe human race wasn't alone in the universe after all.

Sam had come in several times to check on me. On one occasion he had cried but at present I was too cold to give a damn.

Cameron never left my side. He generally sat in a corner reading a book and glancing at me every minute. I was shocked that he hadn't realised that I was awake. Or maybe he was aware but was giving me some space. I did need some space.

Occasionally I had glanced at him, taking in all the minute details of his appearance. He looked sad and tired. Somewhere in my heart I knew that he felt it was his fault.
But I was grateful to meet him. These 36 hours had broken all the misconceptions I had.

I wanted to be in bed for the rest of the day. I didn't want to face Sam or Cameron. I wasn't in a mood for anything. But my body thought otherwise.
My slow ascend from the bed caught Cameron's attention. Eyeing me cautiously he made his way towards me. For the next few moments everything was still. I was aware that the distance between us was less, I was aware of his hands touching mine but lost in his eyes I could do nothing.

" Hi "

I really wanted to stay, I wanted to talk, to know him but I know what little distance did last time. As I increased the distance between us, I saw hurt across his beautiful features. But getting the clue he dropped his hand and kept staring at me, almost waiting for me to scream again.

" Am not gonna scream. "

He just nodded his head. And that hurt. Man! No wonder they say women are complicated. I don't understand myself at times. Screw at times, who am I kidding? I never understand myself.

" You have to understand all this is very overwhelming. Sam lied , my beliefs, my perception of truth, reality were all false. Also I don't understand you. I don't get this, you know, I mean. I.. "

"Shhh. I know, I know what you mean by this. You don't have to vocalise it. It's okay. At present all you should know is that I really care for you and you are safe with me. I will tell you everything, so will Sam, but you need to be patient and open minded. Don't rush to make judgements. Take your time. When you feel like talking come down. We are waiting for you. I am waiting for you."

His last sentence had given me goosebumps. Damn woman you really need to calm your tits.

After having a nice bath I went down. I needed answers. Seeing Sam made me question my decision. In the entire "He is waiting for me" moment I forgot there was a 'we' before that.

Sam looked at me and smiled something I didn't return.

Seeing the awkwardness, Cameron just passed a pizza box to me and went and sat on the sofa. Following his lead, I say on the arm chair and started nibbling my pizza.

" Hey! I knew you liked farm house so I ordered that. Cameron and I had ours. Damn it Akira. Stop ignoring me please. I had a reason. Come on tell me what's on you mind."

" On my mind? Well Sam, you see I was wondering how pizza can make a great friend. You know people disappoint, pizza is eternal."

I knew I had hurt Sam's feelings. He may have had a valid reason to not tell me but it was not his decision to take.

" Akira, I told you everything except the werewolf part. Yes my fathers an asshole but he was also an alpha. He abused my mother, made me believe that I was not worth a mate because I was quarter human. I feel worthwhile now because Moon Goddess made me your protector. She trusted me."

I wanted to scream that well you didn't feel I was trust worthy but I kept my mouth shut. I needed answers and also there's a time to do drama.

" I was extremely attracted to you, and I thought you were my mate. But ofcourse now I know you are not. Before you ask a Mate is a supernatural creatures second half of the orange. When we are born our soul is decided into half, with one half given to our mate. We spend the rest of our life searching our our soulmate. Without our soulmate our life's are incomplete. Cameron has walked on the earth for more than a century looking for you, his mate. When I heard I had no mate I was shocked and broken but you made me feel wanted and loved. And soon you became an important part of my life. You became my best friend. My support system, my everything. I cared for you, also loved you but only as a protector should. Even though I just got to know a few hours back who I was to you. "

Cameron was listening to the conversation with great interest though he said nothing. Sam held my hand, and I let him.  I could feel my walls coming down.
Exhaling deeply he continued.

"When my father realised how I felt about you, a human , he decided to take matter in his hands. You need to understand that my father abused his own mate, which is the biggest sin ever. A werewolf can't even stand the idea of hitting his mate, and there he was doing nothing but hurt her. The reason for my mother's abuse was that her human side was dominant. Even though my mother could not fight or leave him, she used her Luna position to take her revenge. A packs backbone is their Luna, my mother started showing her sadness, hurt and this had an everlasting damage on the pack. At the same time my mom gave me strength to stand up against my dad, which was boosted by the fact that my father wanted to kill you. So I stood up against him, with several members of his pack because they knew about mom's abuse or knew that dad wasn't a good mate. And a bad mate can never be a good alpha. Some even joined me for ending dad's evil ways. Well you know dad's a sadist. So soon I became an alpha, took my rightful place, left my dad and his stupid followers a small piece of land. The reason I never told you was because I thought that if my dad came back which he has, he might spare you if he thinks that you know nothing and mainly because I didn't want to lose you. I know it was selfish and it is your choice but Am so sorry. I really am."

All I could do was look at him. I know that he hadn't even shared quarter of the struggle and pain he had gone through. But I forgave him. The reason being that if I had been in his place I would have done the same and only because I didn't want to lose him ever.

Slowly I hugged him, wiped his tears and peeked his cheeks,when I heard a growl, a ferocious growl.

Man! I forgot this attention seeker .
