"How could you love me? I'm a monster."
I immediately stand up, pulling her up with me. Holding her gaze in mine as I trace along her cheeks and jaw, down her neck and back up again.
"You are not a monster, you never were. If anything you are a soldier Aella, a soldier who has fought for too long."
She stares up at me in silence, her eyes brimming with tears. I hate the sight of them, but I know that she needs to shed them, she's held them in for too long.
"You are one of the strongest people I have ever known my love. But please, when you feel like the world is going to crumble beneath your feet, let me be the one who holds you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aella has had a life of hell. Seeing things that no child should ever see, and forced to do things no child should ever do. Being trapped into the life of a superhuman soldier, she finally escapes her captors. Now, with her freedom, she only has one thing on her mind: Vengeance against the ones who held her prisoner.
So when she meets her mate, a werewolf Gamma named Apollo, she's hesitant about getting too close. Learning long ago that it's dangerous for anyone close to her, she tries desperately to keep her demons from becoming his destruction.
But fate has other plans.
"The fuck you are leaving me." He snapped and growled at his mate.
She was calm as she was ever be regardless of his snapping. She sighed and turned around to leave without saying something to him because it was worthless. There was no point in talking and especially to him.
He grabbed her arm before she put one step. "Where do you think you are going Ara?" He growled so loudly as everyone shuddered watching their interaction.
She quickly remove his hand as anger rolling off of her in waves. "Don't. Touch. Me. So you think I will live here and watch you mate and breed that female." She snapped at him.
"She meant nothing Ara." He said after a minute.
She laughed, literally laughed but without any humor. "That's why you were fucking her in your office just a minutes before, don't you?"
"It was a mistake." He tried to reason with her.
"But in your case mistakes happened in more than one time. And they said mistakes happened only one time." She said sarcastically.
"I don't need her. I need you." He said again desperately.
"Lies. All lies coming from your mouth. I feel disgusted just by looking at you, let alone talking to you. And you said you need me? Ha. Very funny. You don't need me and I sure as hell don't need you. This female behind your back is more enough than me. Breed her, mark her or fuck her. I DON'T FUCKING CARE."
"I am sorry. I am really fucking sorry." He said brokenly as kneeling on the ground.
A small laugh escaped from her lips. "Isn't it too late for that mate?" And she left just like that while single tear rolled down her cheeks.
He had made mistakes. Mistakes that will cost him everything. He knew he had lost her and this time completely.
She was broken. Again. He did break her, repair her just to break her again leaving a broken shattered woman but strong willed.
