There's Always A Reason... [Book 1]

Chapter 41

Sean's POV

"Leila..." I called her name in a very pleading way.

"Sean...what's wrong. Tell me." She started panicking.

"I'm sorry. I tried. I swear it's not my fault." I was so desperate to make sure my mate didn't misunderstand me.

"About-" She started but I cut her off.

"Just don't misunderstand me. I don't know whom else I should talk to and-" This time she interrupted.

"Sean..." She called my name in a composed and stern tone. So I came to rest too.

"Take a deep breath." I did what she told me to.

"I don't and won't blame you for anything that has gone wrong or will go wrong. I know you must've tried. I trust you. I swear I do."
I loved the way she was so understanding. She didn't say much but what she said, was enough.

"Leila. I went to the which. And...she refused to break the bond." I told her.

I wasn't afraid that Leila would get mad at me. I was just heartbroken to already know that my mate had never wanted me.

Now that Leila was for me forever, my whole existence demanded her but she...she didn't need me. She could do with or without me.

That is one reason I hate Vampire-Human bonds. I was suffering a lot more than she was. She was my need now, but I wasn't hers.

I felt something I had never before...rejected, and the funniest part – by my own mate.

There was silence. She didn't reply. As if under a trance, I knew that she was still on the call but her silence was so heavy that I thought that one thing I never wanted to face, now punched my on my face, rejection.

What conclusions could possibly come into her mind.

That I must've done something wrong or I was a weakling who couldn't get something easy even while being the King.

"Leila?" I called her name.

She didn't reply just hummed.
This broke me. I felt my heart sinking.

"I...want to meet you." I was more like asking for permission rather than telling her.

She again just hummed.

"I...I'll reach the city in a few hours and by that time your school would, most probably, be over...I'll pick you from your home then." I suggested.

She again just hummed in response.

Anything Leila. Yell at me, blame me but please don't give me the silent treatment.

"You want to talk about it? I can talk to you along the way."
I told her in the hopes she wouldn't feel as if I abandoned her to handle it herself.

"No need. Thanks. Bye." She threw. I was a little taken aback.

After a short silence, I said,
"Okay then. Bye. Meet you soon."

She just hummed in response and just the next moment, dropped the call.

I just hoped it would go easy on her.

Life is...hard.

Leila's POV

After I ended the call, stupid thoughts kept on invading my mind as I wandered in the corridors of my school since it was a free period of mine.
