The Alpha's Destiny (COMPLETED)

CH 14 - I was in the land of lollipops and rainbows

Chapter 14 –I was in the land of lollipops and rainbows

I stalk inside the house as if own it. Technically I do so... Luckily there are no gawking maids or any of that crap, so I have no mishaps to deals with.

I follow my intuition or more the mate bond, knowing it will lead me towards Cody. I try to deny the fact that my heart is beating from the trill of getting to kick his ass when I see him again and not that fact that all the long-forgotten feelings are arising.

You can't blame him. My wolf Hailey spoke into my head. I didn't want to agree with her but some forgiving part of me did.

He thought we were dead or gone forever would you really want him to be alone and miserable forever if we actually were gone? She continues to argue but I don't answer her question knowing full well the answer is not going to help me stay mad at Cody.

I stop outside a door and from what I can hear inside it's not going to be pretty. For her and him. I plant a wicked smirk on my face and mentally prepare myself to see him again. The years in the darkness may have taken away a lot of my happiness and hope and replaced them with cruelness and hatred but that's just a fact I have to accept.

I kick down the door and storm inside. My smirk turns to a grin as the she-wolf springs off him and turns to glare at me. I meet her eyes first and just chuckle humorlessly at her which makes her face fill with rage.

Luckily Cody has his pants on, I note from the corner of my eye, not willing to meet his eyes yet, but the she-wolf however is fully naked. I laugh wickedly at that. Oh, how she wants my mate. Well, she can have him.

"Out!" I demand and point at the door. The power seeps through my tone enough this time that she grabs her clothes and scurries quickly out of the room.

I don't meet Cody's eyes but instead, spin on my heel and walk through the house and back outside.

I do this because being in a confined, hot room with him is not a smart idea. I can hear his heavy footfalls behind me, but he hasn't looked me in the eyes yet or properly seen my face, so he can't know it's me. He suspects probably but I have changed. My normally bright eyes and now dull and void of emotions. My hair is longer and has grown out of control, I make a mental note to get it cut soon.

"Who the fuck are you?" He demands from behind me and I take my time to redo my cunning smirk before spinning around to fully look him in the eyes.

"Don't you 'who the fuck are you' me. Mate." I mock sassily but I don't even think he's listening because as our eyes meet I can't help the painful gasps that wretches out of my throat. Well, I expected it to be a lot to seem him again but not so painful. The weight of being away from him crashes into me ruthlessly.

His emerald ones pierce mine and a lot of memory crash back. So hard that I slowly collapse to the ground. This was not what I wanted to happen. Why does he still have to be so bloody good looking? It would make hating him a lot easier if he isn't.

"R-Rose?" He stutters my name out in more of a questioning way than a straight fact, but I glare up at him from the ground.

"Yes, idiot." I grumble angrily and push myself off the ground. He's still shirtless and that fact isn't helping me at all. His eyes get cold from the disrespect in my tone.

"What happened to you?" He growls out and I bare my teeth in a growl at the angry tone he speaks in. Why is he angry? I'm the one who gets to be angry here.

"I was in the land of lollipops and rainbows for three years." I say sarcastically, and he cocks an eyebrow. "No dumbo. I was locked up and tortured for three years." I let out in a hurry.

"Tortured by who?" A lethal killing expression crosses his face and Hailey can't help but get a sense of pride of how strong and feared our mate is. Call me insane but I'm pretty sure anyone else who went through my situation would be too.

"My parents." I answer simply, and the fact makes his eyes widen. "The better question is. Where in the bloody hell were you all these years." I seethed, anger filling my tone.

"You're not my innocent, quiet little mate, anymore are you?" He asks in a mocking way and I smirk at him. Two can play this game.

"And you're not my hot, caring, kind alpha mate anymore. I see you're still cocky and arrogant though." I said back and smirk at his frown. Half of it was a lie, he was still hot, very hot in fact, but he didn't need to know that it would only make is giant ego bigger. "Besides the point answer the question." I say getting infuriated by him.

"For the whole first year and a half I searched everywhere for you but with no leads it was hopeless." He starts, and I just stand and wait patiently. "Then I didn't give up but instead decided to take over every other pack in case you were in any of them." He continues. So that explains the whole Alpha king situation going on here.

He scratches his neck before starting then. "I build a kingdom for you so if you ever came back you would be my queen. But you never did return." His tone got sadder and I couldn't help but sympathize with him. It wasn't torture just for me, it was for him too.

"I never gave up." He promises sadly, and he looks deeply into my eyes. It's enough to make me want to jump into his embrace and forgive him. "I just lost track of what I truly built all this for. You. Not the power." He further explains and then looks away as if he expects me to slap him or something.

"I felt it." I mutter, and his eyes flick back to me. "I felt your sadness and then all I felt was pain as you bedded other woman." My throat clogs up and hurt laces my tone.

"I'm sorry." He whispers the words, but they means the world to me. The most powerful Alpha is apologizing to me for everything he's done wrong. And he's done a lot wrong so just an apology doesn't fix everything, but it is a start.

"I don't need you to grovel I need you to give me a reason to forgive you." I say quietly but not weakly. I am not giving him what my wolf long to do, forgiveness straight away, but he should be glad it's not rejection. "And time. Time to heal."

Three years is complete darkness and being secluded from anything social will do that to you. The pain becomes so unbearable that you just begin to welcome it. My pain ended a long time ago and so did my emotional feeling but seeing Cody again tugged on a part of me I thought was long gone.

Maybe if there was hope for me to find some of the person I was before and become, a kind, sweet, confident, strong female and not a broken wreck there was hope for our mate bond too. 

**************************

Well, this chapter isn't depressing at all... Kidding. I was in a depressed mood this week cause school sucked but I'm feeling better now.

Anyone who doesn't want her to forgive Cody at all?

Enjoy, vote, comment, that stuff, thanks,
