Her Heart (1/3)

Chapter 33

Ryan's P.O.V

I slowly rose to my feet trying to recall what just happened-feeling a massive headache-But it was the last thing on my mind, my only concern was Caroline.

What got her so angry? I mean I've seen her vampire side but not like this. Her eyes were darker then usual. We've had heated arguments before but she's never used her powers on me.

All I want right now is to make sure that she's okay and find out who made her this way. As I was about to leave, Elijah entered the room.

"Hey Ryan I need you to-...what the-what happened?! Are you okay?" He asked rushing to my side.

"I'm fine." I said pushing him away. "It's Caroline. She's angry. No she's fuming!"

"What happened?"

"I don't know, she won't tell me and I doubt she'll want to talk to me when she's like this."

"So what now?"

"I need you or Katie to try and talk to her and find out what's happening."

Then Elijah looked up and frowned.

"What is it?" I asked him.

He stood still, looking like he was looking for the right words to say.

"What is it?!" I asked growing impatient by the second.

"I might know why she's upset." he said.

"Well?" I waited for him and just as I was about to say something he continued.

"When you came up here-when we arrived-I went to the lounge where I found Mike and Katie. Katie was telling Mike how their day was ruined by people whispering behind their backs and giving them looks. I could hear them as I was walking closer to the room, so I asked her why the people were doing this to the Luna and she said there's a rumour going around. You apparently cheated on Caroline with a girl on the beach yesterday."

"Shit." i say closing my eyes.

She wasn't suppose to know. And I know that dumb girl started all of this.

"It's not true is it?" Elijah asked.

I looked up to him unbelievably. How could he even ask?

"Of course not! Look, after you left with that girl, the other one said she wants to show me something and I had nothing better to do so I went with her, then next thing I know, she throws herself at me. I immediately pulled away from her and then I left I swear."

"I believe you buddy. Let's just make sure Caroline is safe alright?"

"What if she decides to leave E? What will I do then? She won't even stand me and it's my fault too for being an idiot and following the dumb girl." I said the guilt settling in again.

"Its okay buddy she won't leave, she loves you and you know that."

"Just find her please."

Elijah's P.O.V

After talking to Ryan I was determined to find Caroline and make sure that she hasn't done anything to harm anyone including herself.

But I didnt even have to go far because she was just outside, in the open field looking out in the woods.

I went over to her and silently sat down next to her. She didn't even look at me when I approached her. We sat there in silence just looking out in the woods, wondering what kind of thoughts are crossing her mind.

"You know.." she started after a while. "...when I was a little girl, I accepted that my father's wife never loved me and that was something I had to go through alone, I mean having a mother that doesn't love you and aims at proving it everyday can really fuck you up. So when I was told that I'm going to marry Jeremy , I felt so relieved that at least someone would love me because growing up, I never experienced that.

So after I moved in with Jeremy, I couldn't be happier, until he started getting bored. He looked for entertainment somewhere else. He had more one night stands then I can count. When I found out-I did what I always did ever since I was a kid-I cried myself to sleep and woke up the next day and pretended like nothing ever happened. Jeremy got to the point where he got tired of hiding it from me and just let me hear for myself. I couldn't tell anyone about it because i was protecting my family from embarrassment.

Then when I heard Ryan was my mate, I was elated that he was taking me away from that place. I couldn't do it anymore. Outside we were the the happy couple but inside I was dying. I really loved staying here with him, enjoying his company, until just like his best friend, he got bored and looked for entertainment elsewhere." She told me still using the calm tone she started with.

She continued again. "You know, I would hear other people say having a mate is the best thing ever. That they would love and protect you no matter the cost. Did they forget to tell me that they get bored and cheat? Or is it just a best friend thing?" She asked. I could hear that she couldn't keep it together anymore and her voice started to crack.

And in less then a second the tears started falling. "First rejected by my mother, then father, then my Prince, then my mate. All of these people were suppose to love me. How is it that all these people who are suppose to play an important role in my life feel the same way? Maybe I'm just not lovable. I mean come on..." she said while wiping her tears away from her face. "...who would want to love me? I'm a Parker yet I behave like I'm a fucken Simpson. I'm too soft, I swear you would think I'm adopted and I don't have royal Parker blood in me." She finished.

"Well firstly, I believe that you're a Parker, I mean, you have half a bedroom right now. If Ryan wasn't Alpha, I'm pretty sure you would have put him in ICU for life. And secondly Caroline, Ryan loves you, he really does, people are just blowing things out of proportion. That's not what happened."

"You know what E, you're right. I am a Parker. I'm tired of crying. If there's a problem, I take care of it. I'm not the lovable type, and just like my family, i shouldnt show mercy to anyone who I feel doesn't deserve it. I should kill whoever i want, whenever i want. I should turn ice cold, just like them. Im going to live up to my name."

Okay... This is not what i meant!

"I'm moving. I'm going to stay with my uncle Xander in Europe."

"Are you crazy?!" I asked shooting up.

She isn't serious is she? This will destroy Ryan no doubt!

"No. There's nothing you can say or do that will stop me. I'm going to pack my things. Im leaving. Now." Then in a flesh i had lost her.

I ran back into the house too, rushing to Ryan's office to let him know what Caroline is planning on doing.

I got to his office and didn't even bother to knock. "Ryan, we have a big problem!"

"What is it?" He asked as he stopped pacing.

"Its Caroline, she's moving to Europe. She's upstairs packing as we speak."

"What?!"

Before I knew it Ryan was on the second floor rushing to his bedroom. I followed right after him. We got to their bedroom and it was quiet, like no one has been inside.

"You said she was here!" he shouted.

"That's what she told me."

Ryan checked the closet, bathroom-well what was left of it-and the balcony, but still nothing.

"She was here I can smell her scent. But what's weird is that everything is still here, untouched."

Wait I'm confused.

"Damnit! She tricked you! She ran off."

Ryan got so angry that he hit the night stand next to him and it shattered into a million pieces then sat on the bed while thrusting his hands in his hair.

Caroline really has an effect on him. I've never-ever since I've known Ryan-seen him like this. No matter how angry he got, he has never been this way before. All of this, because of one-single-girl.
