VALENCIA’S POV
Was he being for real?
"That can’t be possible. Never in history has a pack been wiped out with no single man living. I am sure many mbers survived that night," I said, hoping to hear a positive answer.
Dylan looked into my eyes before taking a deep breath and nodding as he stood again.
"Sotis I hate it that you are so intelligent and catch up on things quickly," Dylan turned around, but not his ti.
I wasn’t going to let him end this topic at this turn.
I stood from the swing before holding his hand, turning him forcefully.
"What was the na of the pack? Who are my parents? Even if they died, I want to know them, to pay respect to them. If they died, who took to the Hazel Moon pack? And if I was just an adopted daughter, did my beta parents in the Hazel Moon Pack already know about it? Is that the reason they had no problem torturing ?" I asked one after the other.
Everything was a ss in my head, and I wanted to know the answers to everything.
Dylan glared at .
"I told you whatever I could and knew. I don’t know anything about how you went there or who took you there," Dylan said and I smirked.
That was fine. He gave enough hints to let know I could go ahead with my plans of making the lives of people in Hazel Moon pack a living hell because that’s what they deserve.
Of course, I will do it after returning what they did for and how much they spent on .
"That’s okay. I know who to ask the rest of the questions from," I told Dylan.
I turned around to go back to the apartnt.
"No." Dylan held my hand. I looked at his hand, which was holding mine, before tilting my head and looking into his eyes.
He cleared his throat before stepping back.
"Sorry," he removed his hand.
"Please don’t go to my father. You know how he is. It will break his heart if he finds out you are angry and have started to know the truth. He put his life at risk to save yours. The people who are after you—I don’t know them, but Dad describes them as otherworldly monsters. Please don’t scare him," Dylan said.
The pleading look in his eyes made my heart skip a beat.
The realization that even if my family was never with , these people always looked after was always with .
I wasn’t so ungrateful brat who didn’t know or appreciate what these people did for .
I nodded my head.
"I don’t have any intention of asking him anything. The reason I asked you all this is because I know you will understand my heart. I won’t lie to you, Dylan. From the mont the Lycans hinted at the possibility of my parents being different, I have been feeling this angry ss in my head," I paused, hoping he would understand what I was talking about.
Just like I had guessed, he nodded his head.
"I know, baby girl. You didn’t deserve any of it. I am not going to lie to you anymore. We kind of had an idea of what was going on inside the pack, but not to that extent. And it was important for you to beco stronger," Dylan said, and I furrowed my brows.
What did he an by that? They wanted to suffer to beco stronger. That sounded so wrong. It was almost as if they left there to suffer on my own in the na of becoming strong. What would’ve happened if I hadn’t been able to take it and died?
"You wouldn’t have died. We trusted you, the blood running in your veins. It was important for you to beco a rogue. We always know sooner or later you will choose this path," Dylan said, his words surprising .
Nothing was making sense to .
Were they trying to give a life to make stronger despite knowing how painful it was for ? He says it was vital for to beco a rogue. Does he know what kind of pain and ss I am going through because I am a rogue?
Of course, he doesn’t. He doesn’t know anything going on between and Alpha Maverick.
Will he say the exact words if he knows how much Maverick hates rogues and adores at the sa ti? How torn did I feel when he expressed his anger towards the particular species?
"Incoherent words," I said to him, and he nodded.
Dylan wiped my cheeks, making realize I had started to cry unknowingly.
I wiped my cheeks furiously before looking away. I didn’t want to cry in front of anyone anymore.
Crying in front of soone was like bleeding in front of crocodiles. I wouldn’t allow myself to do that.
"What I am saying is that you were always supposed to be a lone wolf, Valencia. You have leadership capabilities, and no alpha would’ve been able to ta you. That’s why we knew you wouldn’t take disrespect and would choose a rogue life," Dylan explained.
I humd, understanding what he was trying to say.
"Do you guys plan to guide for the rest of my life? What if one day, I wake up and decide this is too much for to handle? That I want to settle down too, but my rogue life won’t allow to do that?" I asked.
Dylan smiled. He cupped my cheeks before pinching them softly, making scowl through my tearful eyes.
"You stupid girl. You ask if I will guide you for the rest of your life. I will hold you in your darkness. I will hold you till it will hurt less and hold you till you tell you are alright and are hurting less," Dylan said, his honest eyes making my heart skip a beat.
I nodded my head at him in understanding.
The rage and ss I felt in my heart started calming down at his reassuring words.
He smiled, flicking my nose softly.
"You don’t have to fight all this alone, baby girl. If you look carefully, you will always find supporting your decision. You are that important to . After Dad, after council, if there is anyone I give importance to, it’s you. Don’t you dare question my sincerity towards you," he said before pulling in for a hug.
I placed my head on his chest, listening to his calm heartbeats that were calming too.
"And regarding settling down, we will make you an official council mber. You won’t ever have to beco part of any pack. And if you are confused about who to settle with, just so you know, I have a king-sized bed that can fit both of us," Dylan said, and I chuckled, slapping his chest playfully.
He chuckled along with before caressing my hair.
"Don’t ever be sad about such pitiful things. Life is really unfair, baby girl. And yours is going to be full of pain. Don’t you dare lose your smile for any bastard or bitch. No one deserves that. You deserve to live happily as much as we all do. If the moon goddess has filled your journey with big waves, I want you to show her how you surf on them," Dylan said, his words always motivating .
That is why Dylan has been the only person I can trust in my life, even after everything. No matter what happens, I return to him when he becos angry.
He always has my good heart.
However, that doesn’t an I agree with all his words. He doesn’t know about my birth pack, and I can’t ask Jonathan for sure.
It’s okay. I have other ways to find the truth. Didn’t he say I have a leader’s characteristics? Won’t it be a sha if I can’t put them to use?
I don’t have one but two missions this ti.
A genuine smile appeared on my face as I thought about all the mischievousness and adventure I was going to bring to everyone’s life.
I won’t allow them to have one if my life isn’t going normally.
