Another Choice

It went better than I was thinking! The plan is on, Tom was able to contact Anna-Lynn and the dispute is planned tomorrow. I hope it will not be too hard for Selina.

"She is strong. You can trust her." My wolf says.

"I know but I can't help but feel worried about her!" I reply to him.

At that, he is not answering. Though I realize he's speaking more when we are close to Selina. And it's also his favorite subject which is weird because he never called her mate. Well, apparently once when I was young but I don't remember. I know that like me he is drawn by her and our world stops when she's around. We are always able to feel her before seeing her. This is why it was so easy to avoid her. Stupid me! Anyway, she is happy with Tom now, so I should stop to think about that. Pfff! As if it was possible. How will I learn to live with that? I don't even know if I can!

I need to get ready. I'm meeting Tom as he asked to see me. We are meeting in an hour, in a place of his choice. I don't think he still trusts me but I will take the same precautions at his place. Still, it's bothering me. I missed him and I still miss him. We used to be so close until his death's mate. For a long time, I was angry against myself for bringing him with me that night. It was horrible to see that without being able to do something to fix it. When I see how Selina was able to save him from himself, I'm so proud! It's funny how Tom felt guilty about me with his feeling for Selina while I can't hold a grudge against him. I understand him, I would have fallen for her too.

We are meeting in a park close to the Primus pack's land. I'm taking a lot of precautions to be sure nobody can follow me until our meeting point.

"Hey, you wanted to see me?" I say

"Hey, you're late!"

"Sorry!"

"I want you to show me how you fight. If the plan works as we've planned, you will be alone with Selina. I need to be sure you can protect her."

"You know I can! But sure let's do it. Do you know a place close from here?"

He nods and starts walking. I'm following him. We spared for an hour and let him beat me. I deserve a good beating.

"I don't know if you are really bad or if for a stupid reason you let me beat you. But you are a shitty fighter and you need to do better. So much better! Thank god you're a witch or you will be doomed."

"Thanks!" I say sarcastically.

He starts to leave the training ground without speaking. So I will do the speaking.

"You know, I forgive you. I understand why you fell in love with her. You don't have to feel guilty because of me."

I don't why but what I just said made him angry. So angry that he walks toward me and punches me on my face. Fuck! He was refraining himself earlier! This hurts so much!

"That was for your stupidy!"

"This one for hurting her!" Another punch.

"This one for spying on us!" Another one.

"This one for already giving up and not fighting for her!" Another one.

"This one because you don't deserve to be her mate and you never will." Another one.

He gives me the last one in my stomach. I fall on the floor. Fuck! It's so painful. I'm dying.

"Don't be a drama queen! You want to be beaten up. You have what you ask for!" My wolf comments.
