Suffer

05| Reunion

Kendra's POV

Everyone let out shock gasps and murmurs started. I rolled my eyes at their expressions.

"Well?" I raised my eyebrows, "Aren't you going to let us in?" I crossed my arms, "Or is this how you treat guests?" I teased.

Aidan seemed to understand and nodded, "O-Of course. I-uh, please follow my beta, he will lead you to your rooms." He turned to me, "Can I talk to you?"

I raised my eyebrow, "Sure." I said dragging the word. Blake gave me a meaningful stare and I nodded my head.

As soon as my pack wen't to their reserved rooms. Everyone just stared at me.

I glared at them, "What the hell are you waiting for? Disperse!" I ordered, it seemed to scare them, because they ran like a vampire was chasing them.

I chuckled at that, "Weaklings."

I'm not normally this cold-hearted, I'm just a bit triggered. They treated me like shit, ever since my parents died.

I turned to 'my mate' and rolled my eyes, "What do you want, Aidan?" I questioned.

"H-How are you?"

"Drop it, Aidan. You know how I am. But to make it anymore clearer, I'm better. Better than before I was living here." I glared at him, "You?" I asked him, in a sickly-sweet tone.

"Look...I-I am Sorry." He confessed.

I was shocked. Beyond actually. I never expected him to say that. But why now? When it's too late?

'Reina? What do I do?' I whispered.

'I don't know.'

I looked at him in the eyes, "Why?" He looked confused, "Why now? Why now, when it's too late?!"

He looked down, shamelessly. "I'm sorry. I didn't know the mistake I made, before I made it. I tried looking for you, Kendra. I did."

I stared at him, "Not hard enough." I looked at him, icily. "I have been beaten, abused, teased and even worse...rejected." I paused, laughing bitterly. "And you think you can walk back up here and apologize? Be part of my life, just like that?"

I looked at him in disgust, "That's pathetic." I shook my head and walked past him, but he grabbed my shoulder.

He hugged me.

"I missed...y-you." He whispered, softly. I almost melted tight then and there. Keyword; almost. I pushed him away, clearly, getting him by surprise since he stumbled back a couple of steps.

He looked at me shocked and just glared at him.

"You? Miss Me?!" I said, bitterly. "If you missed me, why not looked for me?"

"I did." He said, calmly. "I tried. I tried calling out to you. I tried tracking you down. But you know what?" He paused. "It felt like you were taken away from me. You disappeared. I-I couldn't find you."

I felt my tense body tremble, but I stood straighter, trying to ignore my insides getting knotted.

"You didn't search...hard enough." I said, "I was just in the neighboring pack, Aidan." I growled lowly when he opened his mouth. "Don't you dare say anything. Don't. You. Dare."

I shook my head, "Besides. This wouldn't have happened if you didn't reject me. I came to far to back down. Goodbye Aidan." I said, before walking away.

•••

Three hours.

Its been three hours since I talked to Aidan. I know it might seem short, but it's also been three hours since Aidan and my wolf were calling out to each other.

I told Reina to go ahead and talk to his wolf, secretly. Like they did, before. But she denied. I don't know why. They are calling out to each other, they are mates. But she didn't want to talk to him.

'Reina?' I called out.

'Yes...K-Kendra?' She whimpered.

'Reina...you've been whimpering and crying...just talk to him.' I suggested.

'I can't...no-I won't'

'Why? Reina, tell me what's going on. I promise we'll get through it.'

Just then a searing pain came from my heart. I felt like I had been stabbed a million times over. I felt like death...I felt like I was dying.

'That's why..'

I still was confused, the pain left a few seconds ago...but what did she mean by that?

'Reina what do you mean?'

She growled, crying. 'Can't you see? I've been hiding this fact from you for a year....It was just up to recently...that-that I...can't take it'

I frowned, mentally. 'What happened Reina?'

'He's been...cheating on us. I tried to conceal the pain...I tried. I took it myself, so that you'd still have hope.'

She whimpered. 'Now...I can't. He has been cheating for over a year now. But recently, it was stronger. A stronger pain. I can't keep it to myself. What you felt there...was just a preview.'

I gasped. What?! I thought he wouldn't...I guess he lied. He never looked for me...he never wanted me...he's...a cheat.

'Tell me more, Reina. What happened.' I growled.

'This time...their mating. Sex is one thing...but mating is another. It's hurts, Kendra. Help.' She whispered.

Mating. That's a part of the mating process. Mating and Sex are two different things. Sex-is meaningless. Mating-is what humans call love-making. After mating your mate, you mark him/her.

This is what hurts Reina.

'Reina. Stop it. Stop concealing the pain. Let me feel it, because I for one, will make him feel ten-times worse.' I ordered, defiantly.

She nodded her furry head, reluctantly.

Then as if a hundred daggers peirced my heart over and over again. It was hard to keep a howl of misery in or a terrified whimper, but I did. Even though I feel like death, I made a mental note to keep my promise.

And I will.
