Chapter 30 Please leave
Ava's POV
Sometimes I wonder what I would have done if I had gotten to that point with Aaron.
Can I survive and escape from one cage after another with Adele, and finally build my own wolf pack again with nothing.
Can I grit my teeth without a word, face everything alone, and not let my sister suffer any harm.
Can I give up everything I have now, just to take revenge?
Can I? I don't know.
I also met with great changes, also lost my parents when I was a child, also alone with my sister to today, what is the difference between us?
Will he choose to forgive her?
He was happy to see her?
"How is that possible." Fog said. "If you you could be happy? And forgive her, are you out of your mind?"
I was mortified by what she said. "Of course I know it's impossible, but there's always something to think about, who made him talk so vaguely."
"So what more do you want?" Fog sneered. "Just give her a stab and let her simply die without reacting as well? Or yell at her and just kick her out?"
"Those are the ones that seem more problematic, right?"
"That's the word." I pondered. "But why are you helping him out now, don't you hate him so much?"
"I do hate him very much." Again, Fog answered me quickly. "But you can't do much good by staying here, so I'm going to watch him go down before I leave."
"But he doesn't look like he would be the one to suffer at the hands of that woman anyhow." After saying that she added so.
That's not necessarily true, I flipped through the book in my hand while my eyes looked across the room.
The man went to him again, and they were still talking. These days, they see each other almost every day.
"Maybe it's an old flame that has resurfaced." I said so, feeling very unhappy in my heart.
Because I know it's impossible, but I do see the two of them standing together in a very bad way.
"If it were me, I would have killed him immediately and not let him say one more word at all!"
I closed the book and threw it back on the table, ready to leave.
Fog asked curiously. "What do you mean?" She thought about it again after the question. "What book did you just read?"
"Ceylon Hills." She understood. "You mean the man who failed the heroine? I remember there was a misunderstanding between them, and that's why it happened. Wouldn't it be better to talk things out?"
"No matter what kind of misunderstanding and how big it is, it can be solved, as long as one of the parties can justify it." She said with a sigh. "It's really very important for people to trust each other."
"Shut up!" I replied to her, annoyed. "Everything is forgivable in your case anyway isn't it?"
"Not at all." Fog's words were tinged with laughter. "I'm talking about the book you're reading, the heroine of Ceylon Hills."
I didn't want to care about her anymore and slowly went downstairs alone.
"Ava," she called out to me. "Ava."
"What's up again!"
"Tell you what." Her voice lowered. "You didn't read the whole thing, and it wasn't a misunderstanding at all."
"What?"
"I'll say." She still whispered. "It wasn't a misunderstanding at all. lucy killed fraid after she learned the truth. just like you said, a shot to his heart."
Lucy and Fraid, she's talking about the heroine and the man who betrayed her in the book I just read.
"Only people who have been hurt are in a position to talk about forgiveness." She said. "The past never dies; the past doesn't even pass."
Reader's POV
"Do you have to be here to talk about the past?" Aaron said. "Or is that the only thing you can say now?"
Deborah froze, and she stumbled a bit. "But our once upon a time, it was so wonderful."
"Maybe." Aaron smiled softly, not sure if he agreed with her words, and then he added. "So what exactly is the reason you want me to run Pacbu Pack? I don't think you're at all the kind of person who would hand over power to someone else."
"I understand what you mean." Deborah's eyes were complicated as she looked at him. "Yes, I betrayed you at that time for this current position, but afterwards I realized that none of that mattered compared to you."
She bowed her head. "You don't understand, you don't understand me at that time, how much I longed for someone to get me out of that abyss. I just wanted to go a little higher."
"I'm too tired, I'm not like you." It was like she was talking to herself. "My birth was a mistake, I should have been the child everyone was hoping would come, but all I got was beatings and expulsions."
"I really just want a home, a place of my own, where everyone is willing to listen to me, instead of me always keeping my head down and listening to everyone else."
She suddenly lifted her head and stared at Aaron closely. At this time she was the same Deborah who came to the Blue Moon Pack before, confident, elegant, and noble, as if everyone would bow down to her.
"Of course I'm coming to see you, even if you don't want to see me." She lifted her chin. "I'll make it up to you, and I know maybe nothing I do will help, but I can help you now. I'm willing to give you all of my wolves."
Make up?
"What is she trying to make up for? The dead clan members? The father and mother who had believed in her all that time?" Rock's voice grew louder. "Kill her! She'll make up for it by dying! Her death would be the best atonement!"
No, more than that.
Aaron's bones were clicking as he clenched his fist in a death grip, feeling long sharp nails grow out of his fingertips and stab into his palm.
"She died a million times, and it didn't help."
He looked to be thinking, and Deborah, knowing how difficult the choice she gave would be, had to wait quietly without speaking.
After an unknown amount of time, she heard Aaron finally speak. "I promise you."
She jerked her head up.
"But I have conditions." Aaron added.
This was certainly to be expected, and Deborah's face had taken on a smile. "Aaron, honey, it's nice of you to say yes." She asked gently. "What are your conditions?"
Aaron said with a sarcastic smile. "You must first crown me as an Alpha of the Pacbu Pack, and the people of Blue Moon, too, must all be absorbed into the Pacbu Pack."
That's easy, Deborah thought. Of course you will be the Alpha of the Pacbu Pack and I will be ......
But then she heard the last sentence and Deborah's face turned hard.
Blue Moon is not famous enough for anything else, but the members are notoriously mixed. The people here are mostly rouge jerks, like a gathering place for vagrants in a rich neighborhood, and anyone who looks at it should be disgusted.
"If you give up now it's not forced." Aaron looked at her. "You can go now."
Deborah finally showed a little look of alarm. "Sure, I promise, I promise you. It's not that big of a deal. You can get ready for the coronation now, and come back to Pacbu Pack with me, or just stay here."
After saying that she waited again, saw that Aaron had nothing else to say, and left the study.
As she went out the door, Sam jumped in as if he was guarding the door. "How can you do this! If so what did you set up Blue Moon Pack for!"
This guy is obviously eavesdropping again. But Aaron has long since gotten used to it.
"Don't you believe me?" He said faintly.
Sam felt he had given Aaron more than enough credit. He still wants to believe that Aaron must have his own ideas for doing so. Otherwise, just now, he would have kicked the door open and pounced on Deborah's neck.
"Keep this quiet for a while." Aaron rubbed his brow, as if he hadn't seen how terrible his face looked. "It's good that the necessary few people know, I have my own plans."
Sam was silent for a moment. "What about Bertha? Should I tell her?"
"She has a right to know about it." That's all Aaron said in the end.
Sam walked back and forth in the study several times, and finally left, glaring at him for a while before he left, as if to say something, but also said nothing.
Aaron was left alone in the room again, and he sighed, and no one heard the prayer-like muttering to himself. "Just give me a little more time, just give me a little more time."
Sam just came out not long after bumping into Adele, she probably already knew that the two of them would talk today, did not say anything but fluttered big eyes at him.
Sam said with a somewhat pained sigh. "Your brother had his own plans, and he promised Deborah to merge Blue Moon into Pacbu Pack."
To his surprise, Adele was not as shocked or in tears as before, she just looked at him quietly for a moment, then turned her head and ran away.
Ava's POV
When Adele came over, I was putting the flowers I received today into a vase.
"Adele you see, this vase of flowers is good? "I just finished the words, a look up to see Adele full of tears standing in front of me, I instantly heart a shock.
"What's wrong? Who is bullying you?" I said in a rush to comfort.
Who knows Adele just cried and didn't say a word, so I had to hold her and touch her head while saying. "It's okay, it's okay, even if I can't beat it, there's still your brother."
Who knew that after I said this, Adele cried even more, I immediately understood what was going on and hurriedly asked. "Is it about Deborah? Your brother was hurt?"
"I hate him!" Adele said. "I hate him."
"Okay okay." I agreed with her perfunctorily. "He's just annoying."
"I hate him." Adele said again.
"That's not good either." I tried to calm her down. "You still have to give him the library you drew, don't you? Look, I've already colored it for you."
Thank God, she finally stopped crying out.
She turned her head to look at the painting in my hand, which she had painted only yesterday, when the three of us were in the attic library at noon that day. Big patches of green, which I liked.
"A great painting, isn't it?" I said with a smile.
But she shook her head.
"Adele?" i looked at her worriedly. "Tell me what's going on, okay?"
Yet she just looked at me and shook her head again.
We fell silent together.
After a while, I heard her call out to me in a very low voice.
"Bertha?"
"What's wrong Adele?"
I responded to her immediately. "I'm here."
"Can you leave?" She said.
