New Life

Chapter 14 - Evil Surprise

Violet POV

I slowly open my eyes, I move my arms around to feel the cold sheets next to me. It brings me back to reality, every memory of our previous battle. Flora, her mother, that girl...

The door opens, from his scent it was Logan. I sit up, keeping my head down.

"Violet!? I'm glad you're awake! How do-" 

I stay silent, the tense was so thick not even a knife could cut it in half. 

"Who was she?"

He stays silent, then he clears his throat.

"Who are you talking about?"

My voice grows in the bass, "Who is she?" 

I look up at him, barely noticing the tear falling from my eye. 

"Did you lie to me?  You said you never dated anyone, so who is she and why did she call you Lo?"

He looks at the wall behind me, avoiding my gaze. I get out of bed, letting the oversized shirt expose my shoulder. I touch his cheek, pushing his gaze to me.

"Logan, I need you to be honest and open with me. Please, tell me who she is."

Logan nods, placing his hand on mine that rests on his cheek. He takes it, pulling me to the bed to sit down. 

"Her name is Samantha Rose, we've been friends since we were babies. Growing up together we were inseparable, the others in the village even started to believe that we were destined, mates. They thought she would be Luna one day, and so did she but I never did. I was dense, only seeing her as a little sister. Never returning or understanding her flirtatious actions or comments towards me. 

It took my peers to help me see and when I did, I felt nothing. On her 16th birthday, she came up to me. Telling me that she's my mate, she tried to kiss me but I pushed her away. Expressing to her that I felt nothing, that we will never be mates. But even after my outburst, she kept trying to pressure me. She'd wear fewer clothes, wear more makeup push, other girls, away from me. 

I ended up distancing myself from her, and she reacted, coping with the boys in school. Even after being in bed after bed she still thought she was my mate. Then she was finally pushed over the edge..."

Flashback 

Logan POV

I walk under the light of the moon as I walk to the clearing in the wood. It's known to be the most romantic spot in the pack, ugh I'm sick of this. 

I'm going to end this tonight, this morning her mate came up to me. She has a perfectly good mate and she won't go to him! Maybe if I tell her about him, she'll let me go.

I stop, sniffing the air.

'Blood?'

I run toward the scent, finally making it to the clearing to see a sickening sight. 

Sammy with a knife in hand stabbing a man, I walk closer slowly. I look at the man to see it's non-other than her mate.

Dead.

"Sammy?" 

She stops, turning around with blood smeared on her face. She gives me a lustful smile, "Lo~ We can finally be together~"

I growled at her, "What did you do!? Why?!"

She giggles, "It was easy really, he kept spouting about how he couldn't hurt his mate, his love. That made it easier, because that's not me. I'm yours~ Now that he's gone we can be together!"

"No."

She giggles again, "What?"

"NO! YOU ARE NOT MY MATE! WE'LL NEVER BE TOGETHER! EVER!" My Alpha voice booms through the forest.

I call the guards and my father through the link like clockwork there scent becomes visible. Her smile grows, making her look crazier than before. 

"Don't worry, we'll be together soon."

I transform as starts to run away, the soldiers followed but we didn't make it in time as she crossed the border. 

Flashback

Violet POV

"...We never saw her again, until yesterday. I never dated her, she was just a crazy part of my past that I tried to drown but it came back to attack me again."

I stared at him as tears fell from his eyes, without a second thought I pulled him in my arms, giving him a warm hug. The pain before was replaced with sadness, he wraps his arms around me, pulling us down on the bed. 

We start to relax in each other's arms, letting the tension disappear and the silence cools us. He interrupts it.

"I'm sorry. Sorry for not telling you, sorry not trusting you." He tries to continue but I stop him.

"Logan, you have nothing to be sorry for. We all got something that we've trapped inside that we try to suffocate hoping it dies. We try to hold it underwater but it always survives. It comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise and hovers over you to tell you millions of lies. I went through it, and you helped me go through it and I'll help you."

"I love you so much." He starts to kiss my neck, making me shiver.

"I love you too."

His kissing soon ended as we got comfortable, letting the silence take me.
