Emt:
’Take a deep breath, Emt, and try to comfort Helanie. Or else she will feel guilty for not being able to help you,’ my wolf uttered amidst the storm within .
I cleared my throat and turned to her, watching her squeeze into the other side of the seat and look out the window.
I had a bad feeling she was tearing up. I wished I had thought about my words before speaking them.
"Hey," I stretched my arm out and gently nudged her elbow to get her attention. She only shook her head, letting know she wasn’t going to listen.
’She is so adorable. We will miss her the most,’ my wolf made smile through the tears.
Everything about her had always been special. I guess I was thinking too far ahead.
Marrying her would have been just an easy way out.
Of course, the forces are way stronger than my will to change my future—our future.
"I was honestly just blabbering out of my mind. There’s no issue. We’re cool. Probably in the future, I’ll have a talk with my brothers and understand what is bothering them about ," I mumbled, and she slowly turned to .
And just like I had suspected, her eyelashes were still wet from the tears she had shed.
"You said you needed saving tonight," she uttered, rubbing the back of her hand over her eyes.
It broke , the realization that now we can never be together. So wishes just never co true.
"My wolf was just anxious. I mistook his anxiety and thought we were running out of ti. You know, the whole mory thing," I lied with a straight face. Telling her the truth would an nothing now.
The ti had passed.
The minutes she waited for my brothers to respond to her, the ti spent during the argunts, and the way she looked so guilty while speaking to them—
That’s when I changed my mind. If not in this life, maybe in the next. I will get to have my Helanie.
For now, I will make sure she stays with her mates, that their love grows and doesn’t get complicated because of .
"You’re losing your mory again?" she asked, looking so concerned.
"Not really, for a minute I thought I was," I said, trying to get out of the conversation with any excuse.
I just wanted to stare at her face deeply. At the sa ti, I couldn’t help but wonder why?
What was it that made my brothers so upset with ?
"Now, keep up with the lie that I spoke to my brothers. We were just pranking them."
Even when I wanted to tell her again that we would never be together, that the idea of our marriage was long gone—I wouldn’t. She would feel guilty when it wasn’t even her fault.
"But I want to be honest with them." As expected, she couldn’t even lie for herself.
"Helanie, let’s not upset them." How do I tell her not to upset her mates for soone who wouldn’t even be around her anymore?
While she kept watching my face, I closed my eyes, giving her the notion that the conversation had ended. In the silence, I pondered my brothers’ behavior. I tried to recall every interaction we’d had before I went insane and was locked in the cage.
But I couldn’t figure out what I had done so wrong for my brothers to make an exception out of .
In fact, they had stopped reading my texts. Norman did respond, but his replies were always cold and short.
’It’s just that if I said sothing wrong, they should let know. Maybe I forgot, so telling again would help understand my mistake,’ I complained to my wolf, who was just as clueless.
And now that we were marked mates with Helanie, the pain in my chest from not being able to have her was so intense.
The journey passed in silence. Neither Helanie said anything, nor could I manage to say a word. My heart was aching. Every now and then, a flicker of hope would rise in my heart—if only there were a way. But then I’d feel, once again, that nothing could be done now.
Too much ti had passed. And then we reached our mansion. I took a deep breath when I saw my brothers waiting ahead. They were eagerly waiting for Helanie.
As soon as the car stopped, Maximus was the first to quickly open the door for her.
Norman just kept watching. His eyes were fixed on . For the first ti, I couldn’t tell whether he was looking at with anger, or with hatred.
As soon as Helanie stepped out of the car, Maximus pulled her into a tight hug. Norman finally looked away from and hugged Helanie next.
He never had an issue with Maximus. The problem was only with . He didn’t want around his wife.
For the first ti, I wished I could lose my mory, just to forget this mont. That accusing look Norman had given , I never wanted to rember it again.
Maximus didn’t even glance at , and Norman just gave a head nod. I felt like asking what was going on, but by now I had already asked a dozen tis, and every ti I’d gotten the sa answer:
"It’s getting too crowded."
Then I saw her coming outside. My body stiffened for a mont. She stopped and smiled at , there was a strange sparkle in her eyes.
I puffed out my chest too, seeing her walking toward . She ran toward . I took a step forward and let her co into my arms.
They say, if you can’t escape trouble— then hug it.
Now the plan has changed. I was on a suicide mission. My eyes stopped on Helanie, and I made a promise—
’No matter what happens, I won’t let her happiness be ruined.’
