Being Human

14. Love Ties

Allura Pov

I've been moving around these past couple months that I have no idea if I should be with Shiro anymore. I barely see him and I know he means well but I feel like I'm too much to handle and I want to live and not stay grounded. I sigh as I lay in the silk covered bed as I turned to my side and see Romelle. I ended up hurting Shiro by being with her. She's caring and understanding and has the same motives as me. Something that I want Shiro to be. I caressed her snowflake pale face as she opens her bright blue eyes.

"What's the matter darling?" I sigh as I sit up looking at the ring. "I'm thinking if I should leave Shiro." She sits up as well as she kisses down my neck making me blush. "I understand he was with you from the beginning or was that your other husband?" I smirked "My first husband I had who turned me is the one from the beginning. Shiro..I met in the 1920s when he was still new being a vampire. Then there's you love. Turned in 1950s by a vampire you have no clue." She smirks as she caresses my face as she steals a quick peck. "I'm younger than you Allura~" I nodded "I know you are and I feel like I've known you for quite some time." She tilts her head as she giggles. "You silly little  princess. Maybe it's just we're meant to be." I watched her as she leaned closer and kissed me gently until I wanted more. I need to let Shiro know that we can't continue anymore. I'm sorry.

As I was back in town I went towards Shiros house. I was a bit nervous to tell him I don't want this but I still want to keep him close as a friend. As I knocked Keith opened which was a relief cause I wasn't sure if I was ready. "Allura? What do you want?" I sigh "Can you give this to Shiro? Please." I held out the ring as Keith was surprised as he took it. "Uh shouldn't you give this to him?" I nodded "I know but I can't. I'm afraid to speak to him. If you see him tell him we need to talk." He noticed the tone and nodded. "Of course Allura." I lowered my head as Keith smirks and scoffs. "You're breaking up with him cause you found someone else? Right?" I freeze as I shot a glare at him. "No. I'm breaking up cause I realized I don't want to be tied down." Keith growls as he shows me his eyes "Shiro had given you everything you could possibly want and this is how you treat him? By breaking up cause you don't want to be tied down? It's an excuse Allura and I smell a different scent that isn't Shiros. It smells more..." I hissed at him to stop "Enough you stupid mutt! Just tell Shiro to meet me at my house! Not a word on what went here. Are we Clear?" He glared at me and nodded "Clear." He slammed the door and I rushed off. I couldn't believe Keith could still smell Romelle on me. Shiro might figure out when he sees me.

I was pacing back and forth debating if I should run away and leave this city for awhile. I really didn't want to see Shiro knowing how hurt he's going to feel. As I stopped I heard the door. I try to relax a bit as I composed myself as I opened the door. I looked up and saw Shiro with his hand open holding the ring. He looked sad and confused. "Allura? What's the meaning of this?" I shook my head "I asked Keith but he said to come to you. Do you not want to be with me anymore princess?" My heart ached but it had to be done. "Shiro I believe it's better if we go our separate ways. I've been nothing but rude and wild during the times I've been with you. I don't want to hold you by making you suffer when I'm out of line. I'm older than you and I was turned at a young age as well. Maybe I'm not mature for a man like you. I need to find someone who's like me." Shiro held my chin up as he looked into my eyes. "Allura I still want us to work. If I'm doing something wrong I'll fix it I just-" I stopped him as I lowered my head "I'm seeing someone else Shiro. I wanted to break up cause I can't bare to hurt you anymore. I just want us to remain friends." He let go of me as his eyes were watering as he held back his tears. "So you cheated on me? While we were still working things out?" I nodded as he punched the side of the wall. I stood still as he groans.  "I'm truly sorry. I think it's best for me to get away for awhile." He nods slowly as he looks at the ring. "Here..take it." I looked at his hand as I looked back at him "Shiro I can't it was your mother's.." he smiled softly "Its still yours. After all I am and will always be your mate even if you are with someone else." I started to cry as I jumped into his arms. "I don't deserve you.." he held back as I sigh feeling relief as I let him know the truth. Honestly Shiro is the one who helped me open up.

I woke up to an empty bed for once as I looked at my hand. The ring was still there but I was glad Shiro took it better then I hoped. Shiro is a good man that I don't deserve and he deserves to be happy and not to be drowning in pain or regret. As I got dressed for the day I decided to visit Lotor and tell him about what's been up with me. As I walked down the sidewalk I bump into someone. As I was going to yell I freeze and felt small. "My bad. I didn't see you." My throat felt dry as I backed away a bit "Uh are you Alright?" I covered my nose as the scent of garlic was strong and it bothered me. Does he not recognize me? I'm pretty sure it's the same guy I tried to drink from. "Well seeing you are okay I'm going to see my boyfriend." As he turned I noticed a weird marking on his side of his hip. Wait he mated with a werewolf? As I took a whiff it smelled like.. "Keith?"
