Chapter Twenty Four

“And then what? You seem to have thought it through and made up your mind, so tell me. What happens after you leave? You leave her with a lot of questions. You leave her wondering if she was the one that wronged you. You just don’t disappear on people Damian. It doesn’t work that way. The problem you’re running from is always going to be there except you solve it. Life will not solve your problems for you. It never will. You have to sit up and solve it yourself. Disappearing on Anna will only make it worse and one day, you will come back and I don’t care if you’re mated to her or if you’re destined to be together, she will move on from you and the both if us know that you can’t handle that” Alex said
“Then what am I supposed to do?” Damian asked
“Talk to her about it”
“Talk? I almost killed her. If she was human, she would be dead by now. What else is there to talk about?”
“I almost killed her too and she literally acted like it didn’t happen. I was going to give her life away for another and I wasn’t even under a spell. I was in my right mind when I did it and she still forgave me. She will forgive you if you talk to her and not disappear on her” Alex said

Damian sighed. He knew Alex did have a point but he was just stricken by guilt and it was blinding him. He looked at Alex and he nodded. He was going to talk to her and he knew that of he did, she wasn’t going to let him leave and maybe that was a good thing. He decided to spend the night in a guest room and that was where everything changed

She felt a presence in her room and she opened her eyes. She was still weak from the sacrifice but she sat up and her eyes glowed. One of the benefits of being a wolf was that you could see in the dark

“What are you doing here?” she asked him
“We need to talk!” he said to her
“Talk? About what exactly?” she asked him
“I was in love with your mother. I did everything in your power to keep her but no, she fell in love with Darien, your father and they had you and your brother. I didn’t mind, I still loved her all the same but she died…”
“Or you killed her. Which is it?” she asked
“Any could work. I made a mistake by killing her but she has returned to me. You are just as beautiful as your mother and I will do anything to have you in my bed!” he said to her
“You are even crazier than I thought” she said to him
“You have no idea. Think about it. What does Damian have that I can’t give you? Nothing”
“You are crazy if you think I am in anyway interested in you and you’re more crazy if you think I’ll take your offer”
“You really should. Your life is in my hands right now. Take my offer and I will let you live “he said
“You have just this chance you leave my room. The only reason you are alive is because Damian still thinks you’re a good person. Once I prove that you’re the one behind my mother’s death, he will kill you himself and I will watch him do it and enjoy every moment of your death. You are a disgrace to this family and let it be the last time you speak to me. If you do, I swear, I will remove your tongue!” she said
“And what if I can bring back your father? Give him to you once again?” he said
“Where is my father?!” she yelled at him
“Tucked away somewhere, safe and sound. I will give him to you if you go into a relationship with me”
“I will find him either ways and I will kill you. Tell me where my father is!”
“Think about the offer. You get to keep your life and you get your father back if you leave my son and become my wife!” he said as he looked at her
“I will never take that offer. I will get my father back, with or without you!”
“I doubt that” he said as he walked out of her room.

She sighed and she dropped on the bed. She tried to go back to sleep but it was pointless. She couldn’t sleep. After hours of tossing and turning from one side of the bed to another, she stood up and headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She saw the lights in the living room and she went there. She saw Damian’s mother sitting there and she wondered why she wasn’t asleep.

“Why are you still awake, child?” she heard his mom ask
“I didn’t mean to disturb you. I just came down for a glass of water and I saw the lights on”
“You didn’t disturb me, come and sit with me since we are both awake and maybe we can talk about a lot of things” she said

Anna had nothing else to do so she agreed. Besides, getting to know her mother’s best friend was definitely on her bucket list. She sat on the chair beside Damian’s mom and took a good look at her. She was really beautiful but there was this sadness in her eyes. She had nice skin and bright blue eyes but right now, there was no light in her eyes. It looked almost dead and Anna couldn’t help but wonder why. She didn’t need to ask. Staying with someone like Phillip was worse than death itself, she said to her self.

“How did I meet your mother?” Damian’s mother started. “I guess we were in preschool when we met”
“That long?” Anna asked
“Yes, that long. Your mother walked into my school and our eyes met. We were still babies, what did we know? We got separated in grade one because I moved down here to Cordina. My mom was royalty and I was the only child. Just because my mom was queen of Cordina, I was the heir because I was the only child she had. It was funny when I found out that the alpha of the pack was your mother’s Mom. That was your grandmother. That was the first time I have ever heard of a female alpha and your mom was her heir and although I was royalty, I was a Beta and not an Alpha” she said
“Interesting. Go on” Anna said
“Your mother and I became friends again when she moved to Cordina while we were in grade three. There was nothing we didn’t do together. We trained, ate, went to school, came back and even slept on the same bed. We were almost sisters and at a point, people would ask if we were sisters. Years down the line, I got married to Phillip because I was told to. My parents thought it was best for the wolves and the vampires to be united so they married me off to their prince” she said
“I don’t understand. Wasn’t he your mate?” Anna asked
“He wasn’t. When my parents made this decision, I was already in love with someone and they knew”
“What happened to him?” Anna asked
“Mu parents asked me to marry Phillip and I rejected the idea. The next day, I found my boyfriend dead in his apartment. I ended up marrying Phillip because I lost my mate and the marriage produced a beautiful baby boy” she said
“Damian” Anna said
“Earlier before I got married, your mom got married to your father and they had the first hybrid. Most people thought it was impossible but it wasn’t and after they had the first hybrid, I had the second one with Phillip. For some reasons, Phillip was interested in my best friend and he was willing to go to any length to get her. He wasn’t interested in her, he was obsessed with her and he wanted to have her all to himself even though she was married and he was too but he didn’t care” she said
“Did he kill my dad or my mom?” Anna asked her with tears in her eyes

They heard footsteps and Anna cleaned her face

“Mom? Why are you still up? Anna? I wasn’t expecting to see you here. What are you guys doing here by this time? It’s so late and you should be in bed” Damian said
“I couldn’t sleep and I cane down and found your mother here and we decided to keep each other’s company” she said
“You should be resting, you too Mom. C’mon, I’d get the both of you to bed” Damian said
“You don’t need to. I know the way to my room. Get Anna to bed. It was nice talking to you” she said.
