"But I can't kill you because you are mine Nandini, only mine." He said and this mere words from him made my heart shiver.

Mine. This word hit my mind. My eyes widened on realising what it meant. This couldn't be happening.

"I can't be the mate of a monster like you." The fiery venom spat through my mouth and I could see hurt clearly visible in his eyes. I looked away, not being able to look into his eyes. "You killed my mum and dad. And I can never give myself to a murderer like you."

With every word I spoke out, my heart felt heavier. It felt as though my heart had been shredded into thousand pieces. Thick fat tears clouded my vision and yet I didn't cry. I forcefully held my tears back.

"I didn't kill your mum." I heard his voice and my head snapped at him. He looked hurt and defeated.

"Then where is she?" My voice cracked.

I wished for all of this to be just a nightmare when he asked me to follow him.

I entered the room where he led me too. My heart crashed seeing my mum. She had been connected to drips and machines. Her  hands and legs were bandaged and even after all the bandages I could see bruises on her skin.

The tears that I had been holding back swayed down my eyes.

"Mom" I cried, a fear of losing her gripped my heart as I reached her. I was scared. It felt as though I was living in a nightmare.

Right then I felt a hand on my shoulder

"She's going to be okay." He said in a low tone.

"How did this happen to her?" I asked, getting a grip over my emotion.  I couldn't be weak, at least not right now.

He didn't answer instead I heard him sigh. "Are you responsible for this?" I asked.

He didn't answer yet again. I jerked his hand away from my shoulder.

"Tell me. Are you responsible for this?" This time my voice raised slightly.

He shook his head in 'no'.

"Then who is?"

"It's better for you to not know. You will only get hurt by knowing the truth." His voice was low.

"I am already hurt. And don't you think I deserve to know what happened to my mom?" I said.

No I shouldn't break down at this point. I needed to know the truth.

I pushed him away forcefully.

"Where's my brother and my dad?" I raised my voice, gulping away the lump that had formed on my throat.

"Your brother is in the next room. He is just unconscious." He said.

"And my dad?" I asked, gulping my tears, hoping that he was fine too.

He didn't answer.

"You killed him?" It came out more like a question and not a statement. Did I trust him by any chance?

He said nothing.

"You are a monster." Tears flowed carelessly down my cheek but I didn't even care to wipe it away. More than sadness, I felt angry.

"If you are really curious then read your mum's mind yourself. I know you can read minds." He said, hurt was clearly evident in his voice. He opened the door.

"But I am warning you, knowing the truth will only hurt." He said before leaving.

"Even if it hurts, I want to know the truth." I said in a determined tone, wiping away my tears.

"I can never be the mate of a monster like you."

"You are a monster."

Her words rang in my ears again and again and it hurt. She too thinks I am a monster.

"A monster like you can never be my son."

My mother's word rang in my ear. I leaned against the door, sighing. I chuckled although with pain. But I guess I should get used to these words after all that's what I am.

"She didn't mean what she said." M spoke out in her defense. Sigh! Wolves are always in favor of their mate.

"I wish she really didn't mean it." I said, sadly.

But even I acted impulsive. Damn how could I tell her to read her mum's mind. She would only get hurt knowing the truth.

I opened the door and entered the room to stop her but I guess I was too late. My heart pricked even more seeing her tears strained cheeks as she laid there unconscious on the chair.

You being my mate might seem like destiny but to be precise it's the fault in our stars.
