Chapter 333: Departure
Levine
The present
"I trusted you and you deceived . you did this all for your selfish reasons, you never wanted Blue to know about his mother. All you cared about was eliminating her and now you want to do the sa to her son,’’ I shout so loud. My heart is pounding, it feels like it is about to explode. I have tried to live a just life but at the end of it all, I trust the wrong people.
I trusted my sister once upon a ti and she betrayed
by killing our parents. I always knew that Badger was a selfish motherfucker but in my ti of desperation, I trusted him again and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I created the association to do things the right way. Everyone in the coven knew how she was. They all knew the kind of person my sister was and they all wanted her out. This was not so spontaneous move. I have been planning this all for a year and Badger found out about it. he threatened to out . I didn’t have a choice but to join forces with him. no one was worse than Analise. I always thought she was a monster and maybe a tiny part of
was glad that she was dead. I an, all the things she has done in all these years.
Maybe that is why I decided to join Badger, I decided to trust him because of Major. Sohow, over the years, he beca important to . At first, he was just a kid in Blue’s class but eventually, I started to feel things for him. I didn’t want the people of this coven. I thought I was doing the right thing but in the end, I trusted soone that might even be worse than Analise.
"This is for the greater good,’’ he pauses and then gives
a wicked smile "one that you will not be a part of anymore,’’ his wicked smile makes
even more terrified of this situation. I take a step away from him because I know that if he wanted to kill , he could with the snap of his fingers. The forbidden room had beco one that Badger was accustod to. Analise got very lazy after she beca the chief. I an, she had everything she always wanted. She had the perfect family—even though Blue would never think that and then she had the power. No one could challenge her, not like she even cared. She has had a lot of death threats and I have always been there to protect her. Even through it all, I ended up saving her. now she is dead because of my help.
My legs move on their own. he is still smiling; he knows that I can never outrun him. he probably just likes the chase. This is nothing to him and I hope that rex sees this. I hope he feels
right now so that he can know. I already know that I am not going to make it. betraying badger by reaching out to Blue ans the end for . I run out of the room and his footsteps are loud and clear in my head. I know that he is following . I don’t know where to go. I don’t have any fight left in . Using Rex was a way to reach out to Blue. that was the plan all along. I wanted him to know all the things that his mother had done. I brought him back to the coven because I wanted him to see who his mother really was. He would have been a better leader than she ever was. I saw the potential in him, I gave him all the love that his mother lacked and now he will see
as the monster that killed his mother and hurt his mate. he would never understand. He will never know that all I did was for him.
I run out of the house and I keep running until I get to the woods. This is the part of the estate that is just a vast land. I keep running even though I know that Badger will always be able to find . I run because I don’t want to die yet. I don’t want to die until I save him. I don’t want him to fall into the sa faith that his mother did. He is a better person and he deserves more. He deserves to know.
I keep running as fast as I can. I know the end of this trail I know the hill. I know it might not be a good idea to run into a dead end.
"You know you can’t run away from ,’’ his voice echoes through the trees. I know the sound is coming from my head. I know that because just as I am connected to rex right now, he is connected to . I always knew that using dark magic will have repercussions. I was so against it. I let him use
to open the doors and now this is where we are. There is a cycle. One that I put Rex in. I didn’t an to. I didn’t an to hurt him but I guess this is all my fault. I stop running and grab onto a tree. My breath is heavy, my heart is racing, my fingers are shaking. I know what is happening and I don’t know what to do.
"I am sorry, I am so sorry,’’ I send a ssage to him. I know that he can hear . I know that he can feel
"do not use the book, whatever you do, don’t use the book,’’ I warn them. I know what would happen if they give in to the easy way. Dark magic never ends well. I an, I am an example.
Analise is another example.
"You must think that I am a fool,’’ I freeze because I know that he is behind . I knew that running was pointless. He would always find .
"I hate you, Badger,’’ I stand upright and turn around. I am just a few feet away from the cliff. I know what I need to do. Once I am dead, all ties to Rex will be cut off. he will be free from Badger. I need to do one last thing for them. I need to make up for all the hurt I have caused them. I take slow steps until I am just at the edge. Badger doesn’t even flinch, there is still a smile on his face. he never loved . all those years, my crush on him. the butterflies I had for this man, all for fucking nothing.
"I am sorry it had to co to this,’’ he says as he walks over to . the veins on his neck are darker. They have spread. The darkness is eating him up and he doesn’t even know it. I can see his end and he might think it will be victorious but I know that it will be terrible. I know that he will not win.
Blue is stronger than he thinks. He will defeat him. Do the things that I failed at. His heart is pure. There is no anger inside it. he will do this the pure way and succeed. I am so sure of that. I look to the edge of the cliff, I see the rocks, I could never survive this jump but for the first ti in my life, I am looking forward to this. I am ready to die. There is nothing else I can do here. I am too weak and as Badger said—too much of a coward.
’’You are the bravest person I have ever t,’’ Major pulls
into his arms and for the first ti, I feel loved. The kind of genuine love I have never felt for anyone. His eyes bore into mine and my heart beats for him.
"I love you, Levine, I will always love you. so, you don’t have to worry about anything anymore," he assures . I believe him one hundred percent. I believe in this love because he doesn’t want anything. he loves
just because and that is all I have ever wanted. I wanted to leave the coven to find my happiness and in such a short amount of ti, he has shown
that love shouldn’t co with expectations, it shouldn’t be forced.
A boy so young, so innocent chose
for who I am.
As I take backward steps off the cliff, my last thoughts are of the man that I am leaving behind. The innocence that he once had will be gone the mont he finds out I am dead.
"I am sorry major,’’ I breathe out those words as I let go of all the pain, all the sacrifices I have had to make. I let go of it all and for the first ti, I feel free.
I am finally able to leave the coven.
