Janet's POV

It's been two weeks since I had a good time with him. The only time I get to see him is during the pack training.

I feel like he is avoiding me or what else can it be? The memory of him with max isn't making it better.

I shoke the thought of it away from my head. I do trust him and I bet he can't let me down just like that. I need a distraction right now.

I concealed my dark circles carefully. I wouldn't want people to know the pains I'm going through.

I then added a nude eyeshadow before highlight my face. I'm not that much of a fan of lipstick. I licked my lips allowing my tongue to wet them.

I can't go out looking like a serial killer. I tried lighting my mood but nothing is working. Then the memory of me applying lipstick of dad's face while he's asleep claiming I want him waking up been handsome.

I cracked up sadly know I miss them a lot. Tears already forming and i don't have the strength to let it spill.

I left my chamber to scarl quarters with one thing on my mind. Aiden!

I knocked on the door lowly considering she might be sharing a glorious moment while I was waiting for a reply,i got none.

I tried knocking again coming to a conclusion that the third time will be my last.

Still no reply. Good!

I pressed my lips silently pleading for a reply the next time I would knock.

Take a deep breath and knock.

I folded my hand into a tight fist bump then slowly moving it close to the door. Just then I decided against my decisions.

Maybe I should just let her be.

I turned my back,ready to leave with the thought of who I was going to find comfort with.

To my surprise,the door swung open with scarl yawning tiredly. Her other hand covering her mouth with a hair in a weird hairdo.

"Janet" she called out gesturing for me to get inside.

"Been knocking all day,what were you up to?" I asked just as I stepped a foot inside the living room.

"Sleeping" she groaned loudly massaging her forehead with the tip of her fingers.

"Hangover" I blurted before she gave it away.she then nodded tiredly concluding my assumption.

I went into the kitchen to grab a glass of water. Offering it to her with a pack of advil.

"Goodness, I never knew there is such thing in this house" she drank the water deliciously.

"I left it here sometime ago in the last drawer" she positioned myself right in from of her on the opposite sofa.

"You look..." she stopped trying to analyse whatever was going on with me.

"Deadly,frustrated,sad,grieving and tired" I can't hide the way I feel if I need her help to make me feel better.

"And why is that? I don't think anything can tear you apart. You are strong like the strongest luna I have ever met" she put up a serious look

"There is" I inhaled painfully knowing only one thing can affect me this much. So much that I can't even control it. It's driving me insane.

"Scarl, it's aiden. I can't point out whatsoever I might have done wrong. He's just giving me this silent treatment and I don't think I can handle it any longer." I sniffed.

"I..I just can't,it's way harder than I think and it's killing me inside." I looked everywhere but her trying to control my emotions knowing if I meet her eyes I will break down.

"I can't put the blame on anyone here because I haven't heard from his side."

"Have you ever felt it's only you that thinks the way? What if he's not actually treating you badly or perhaps he's busy?. You know well how tiring it can be" She placed her hands on my shoulder looking straight into my eyes.

"No no no. I'm not putting this up for no reason. Please believe me! He's not been sleeping at home, he barely eat when he manage to come, we don't even talk like before" I buried my head in her chest,sobbing quietly.

"I just miss him that's all. I miss the old us" I couldn't accept the way I sounded.

So desperate

"It's okay " she soothed my pains away as her hands work wonders on my back.

"How about you go check on him and talk things out. Let him know how you feel, don't bury your self in sadness." She tucked my hair behind my ear.

"I..I..I am scared scarl. What if..." I gulped hard.

"No what if. If you don't try,you will never know. Now put a smile on and be the arlena I know" The edges of the lips lifted up in a smile.

"Thank you!" I wiped off the tears on my face.

"Go girl!" She cheered me up. I felt lighter after I let out how I felt deep down.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The more steps I took the more the distance I have covered on my way to his office.

My heart kept on pondering on what would happen few minutes from now. It felt weird planing on what to say when the argument come to place.

Few steps away from his door I could pecieve his arousal. I tensed,wondering what's going on.

I shook head continously denying what I know is true.

Bad energy stay far away

I could hear my heartbeat and how far its racing. Suddenly I felt cold and goosebumps began to appear. I rubbed my hand to and fro trying to get rid of it.

"Aid...." I got shocked. I closed my eyes and reopened it believing I saw it wrong but no it's all true.

"No...no" I shouted on top of my voice,dragging my hair painfully as if I wanted to rip it off my scalp.

All the documents where laying on the floor roughly. Max was laid flat on the desk with her back. The shirt was thrown far at the corner. Her skirt had ridden up so high I could see her underwears.

In between her legs was aiden. The one I call my mate, my joy, my world in his full glory. Shirtless with sweat beads coating his skin with the button and zipper of the pant undone.

I ran out quickly to an unknown destination. I could hear aiden voice asking me to stop me and hear him out. Screaming he is sorry and I should come back.

What is there he want to say?. How can he defend himself? I'm no blind mamba or a child. I had this bad hunch feeling but I went against it.

My heart had been ripped out its place. It's empty. I'm still finding it hard to believe. How could he? Why do I deserve all this? This isn't what you said to me when we met, all your promises. it's all lies.

I have been living and feeding on lies. Stupid me thinking I have it all. A mate that would take away all my pains, make me feel he won't trade me for the world.

I kept my legs moving deep into the wood I won't find my way back but I don't care. I want to stay away from him! I don't want to ever see him!

I cried loudly as I rested my back on a tree. My eyes has swollen in distress. I could barely see.

I heard a slight movement behind me. The hairs on my skin rose.

He is here. How did he find me?

Who do you think it is?
