Helanie:
I had no words to speak after she told about the mate bond. It was as if sothing so impossible had happened that I could not even react to it. I just watched her face, and then Emt’s.
What had happened? Why would the Moon Goddess pair up with them, but then give them mates, and make another mate in a person that is so vile?
Or maybe she wasn’t. The way she ca to his defense, she really loved him. But that didn’t an she was a nice person, or did it?
She admitted that when she was dying, she cursed him out of anger and frustration and heartbreak. So what else was left?
I cannot call her a manipulator when she was just taking a stand for her mate. My heart broke at the thought of him having other mates. And I guess that is when I realized how they must have felt too when I did not want to be with one of them.
Now could I complain about them? Could I even say that they should not be with their mates? I wasn’t too sure. It just didn’t make any sense to at the mont.
I guess the only difference was that when I ca into Emt’s life, there was no one alive in his life. So I thought I was the only one.
But now that she ca into his life as a mate, we had already built that connection. So it was like inviting soone else entirely.
But then again, could I bla him for holding her hand and deciding to leave with her?
I didn’t marry him when he asked to. So I couldn’t expect him to keep chasing after .
Besides, after I found out that he was the reason my baby died, I could only feel sympathy for him, but no love.
"You’re not seriously telling us that you’re leaving with her to go and live in the wild. Do you not know how fucking dangerous the wild has beco? What if you forget?"
Maximus was yamring, and I understood his pain. They still loved their brother. Fights and argunts happened, but Azura put the nail in the coffin when she gave Emt the option to just leave.
"I’ll be fine. I’m not a child, besides—" Before he could finish, Azura spoke up.
"Besides, I will be with him," she said. The brothers just glared her down.
I had no courage left to ask Emt to stay. She was his mate. Fated mate. I took a deep breath and stord away, back to my bedroom. Once I sat down and turned my face into my hands, I started sobbing a little.
’I think we should not let him go with her,’ Cora said.
’Cora, did you not hear what Emt said? He said he had the idea of killing in the back of his head. Do you not know what that ans?’ I said.
’It ans he was fully aware, he rembered everything, when that idea ca into his mind. The only ti he acted upon it was when he forgot about . The fact that that idea even ca into his mind and he didn’t imdiately shut it down, but it stayed, just shows that even when broken, cursed— he chose her. He wanted her back. And even if we debate that it was because she had cursed him— he was supposed to miss her, rember her,— not take soone’s life for her. I don’t want to talk about it anymore.’
I yamred and yamred, and then I just shut down. I was honestly tired. Exhausted.
Tomorrow was the big trip, and I had to go for Gavin. He had specifically asked to co, asked all of us to co. He wanted to feel alive again. So we were going to give him that. That’s when Norman walked in after a few minutes, looking defeated.
"He’s gone," Norman said.
I took a deep breath and looked away. I had no right to stop him. Not after he killed my baby. Not after I didn’t marry him. We had just beco too toxic at this point.
"I don’t know how he found another fated mate," Norman uttered, and I just gave him a head nod.
"He’ll be there on the trip tomorrow. Of course he’s not going to leave the academy and students hanging," Norman continued.
"It’s okay. I an, he has every right to be there. I’m not afraid of him. He’s not a monster," I uttered, biting my tongue because he did kill my baby.
"I understand. If you want, I can drop you off at the academy in the morning with ," Norman suggested. But I shook my head once again.
"It’s okay. I’ll take my mom’s car."
The minute I ntioned my mom, I noticed Norman didn’t look very happy. I knew he hated my mother because of what had gone down between his mother and mine. But there was no way I would judge my mother for stealing his mother’s mate.
I did not want to believe that his mother was a victim. She was a very cunning and manipulative person, and I was all ready to hear what my mother had to tell about myself, her past, and Darcy’s.
We were both tired at this point. I got up and slowly walked over to him.
"I’ll need so ti before things go back to normal, Norman," I said, looking him in the eye. "I’m not mad at you. I’m not blaming you for anything. But if you had told why you didn’t want to marry him, you would have spared a lot of guilt. I thought I was fighting between two mates. I thought I was in the middle of a place where I had to make a decision. Anyway, I’ll just go to bed now," I uttered, feeling numb to the pain.
He just watched while I crawled into bed and hugged my pillow, closing my eyes, hoping sleep would make ti pass quickly.
