The wolf immediately lunges at me and I dodge him, so that he doesn't hurt my children. Although the quick movement drains my energy, I sigh with relief that I have protected my children from a wounded and hateful alpha towards me.
My family runs and gets between us, while Lake concentrates on me and even checks my body with his gaze in case something happens to me.
“What the hell are you doing?!” Sergey asks, taking the alfa's neck.
“Are you okay? Are the babies okay?” asks Lake worried.
“I don't know if the babies got really scared and something happened, but, if I can say that he didn't manage to touch me.
“What am I doing? I am avenging the death of my son!” shouts the alpha.
“I don't care what you're planning to do, if you don't want us to go to war, you'd better confess what happened.
“I don't care what you want to know! And if we have to go to war, so be it!” shouts th
The silence is uncomfortable, the eyes concentrate on Lake, while I try to tie up ends, when the information they have said is limited. From the little I heard about Klauss, he hated Lake, but, I didn't hear why.However, no matter how much he hated Lake's mother or the whole herd, which didn't justify the murder of a baby who couldn't defend herself and who, even less, was to blame for being born into a pack with problems.“What did you just say?” Lake asks and the old man takes a deep breath.“Your mother promised something to my son, it seems that they had a secret relationship. One that if I had known, I would have stopped him, since your mother was ten years older. But, they knew how to do things right.>> He promised her many things, even, he told her to run away together, but, when they were going to run away, she was marrying Dionysus. It took me a month to look for my son and I didn't find him. The fool stayed waiting for
I didn't want to sympathize with what Klauss did, but, all of us here have done strange things in the name of love, so, we didn't have the right to judge ourselves when, out of love, we committed crazy things that have weighed us down and a lot.“You shouldn't have killed Klauss.” says Lake coldly“What do you say?” I ask confused.“I should have killed him with my bare hands, it was the least I could do for my murdered sister.” assures Lake with annoyance.And I don't blame him, his sister's killer died recently for me, but, that doesn't mean I'm not honest with him“Well, I would have if you weren't so weak. Remember, I saved your ass, Lake. Thanks to my help, you can hear what happened to your mother and sister. so, be grateful and if this makes you angry, train to be strong.>> Because if you keep this up, you will die before you can solve the problems that have arisen for more than twenty years. Probl
It is unheard of to me that he has said. Because although he is overwhelmed by the recent revelation, it is incredible to me that he only thinks about his pain and not about solving once and for all this problem that continues because of his father.In addition, it makes me upset to think that the man who hurt me so much is the father of my babies, it makes me angrier to see that he gives up everything, even his children for a pain that began more than twenty years ago.“Rain…“Do you want to be cruel? Well, I know how to be one too. So, it's fine with me. Lake, if you want to die and meet your mother and sister, that's fine, do it. If they are more important to you than your children, that's fine.>> But, do it now, Lake. To be able to bond right now with a wolf that at least gives me the assurance that he will always prioritize me. Because that's what I need and you refuse to give me.” I mean seriously.“I'm n
Apparently, my solution is not a solution, because, although it seems perfect to me, I doubt that his pack will like it. Because it was one thing to have children with him in the future to never be able to do it.“Then, I'll end up being a widow taking care of her children.” I'm just saying.“A widow? Why would you be a widow? Rain, don't tell me that you have resumed your plan to assassinate him and have killed him.” says my mother and I lower my body more so that the water from the tub completely covers my face.Perhaps it seems that I am too bad a woman, to the point that my mother does not think twice, when relating my widowhood to a death that I caused to my husband myself.My mother talks, but I concentrate on relaxing in the tub, while my lungs still resist being underwater. But, just as I'm about to relax, a hand reaches under my back and pulls my head out of the water, without me being able to help it.“Are yo
Was Lake really being serious or did he just want to annoy me when I'm starting to make up my mind? Because the truth is that I can't keep waiting for someone with whom I'm not interested in formalizing something.“Lake, haven't you had enough? Our meeting was a coincidence, but, everything we did after, it was a decision, one that we used knowing that everything we did would bury the opportunity to be together.” I say and he swallows hard.“I'm without a family, Rain. Everything my father told me about my mother and my sister is nothing but a lie and yes, it's my fault for letting myself be influenced by him, but what would you have done if you were in my place?>> My father protected me a lot, because he didn't want me to have the same ending as my sister, only a small pack of wolves knew my face, that's why and although it wasn't loving, he gave me the only warmth I knew in my life, before you.“Even so…&ldq
Two hours laterI take a deep breath, count to a thousand, because already reaching a hundred is not enough to calm me down. But, even that doesn't help me anymore. So, I sit on the bed where I haven't been able to rest, because I know that Lake is still kneeling in my room.“Don't you get tired of this nonsense?” I ask and Lake sighs deeply.“It's not silly, it's my sign that I'm serious about being different. I will no longer be a burden to you, much less to the babies. I will become strong; I will ask the pack for forgiveness and I will clean up all the mess that my family for years caused.“Will you do all that kneeling in my room?” I ask with sarcasm in my tone of voice.“No, I'm doing this so that you give me some time to at least have enough achievements to confront you and tell you that I'm not a mistake, if not, your best option to link up.“Lake, with everything you said, you would need at
Lake thinks about it for several minutes and I don't blame him, the hatred with which his father saw me the last time, tells me that he has no intentions of apologizing for what he has done. Besides, he doesn't know where he is and the last person who saw him was Klauss.So, the chances of him being dead are high. But, in that case, he must justify the absence of his apology, with the corpse of his father. So, it's complex by any standard.‘If I were him I wouldn't promise it, because the longer it takes to find him, the less sincere his apology will be.’ I tell myself mentally.“I'll do that.” says Lake and I watch him as if he has lost his reason in his mind.Because it would only justify his answer if he has said it out of impulse or emotion and not for reason. Even so, I approach him and in a whisper I ask him, to confirm that I didn't mishear.“Do you really agree with what has been asked of you?“Yes
Lake is not able to make even a movement or speak, so, I look at my family who nods supporting my condition and therefore, I patiently wait for Lake's response.“Rain…“I'm listening to you.” I say looking at the man who sees himself on the edge of an abyss.But, I can't feel sorry for him. After all, for one reason or another, he betrayed me causing me a lot of pain and as a wolf, he rejected me at the altar, causing me to be pointed out as the woman who lost her pride and dignity.So, I implore you not to accept this opportunity, because possibly, you will only suffer a new disappointment for not really fulfilling the promises that you would now accept. After all, we have caused each other enough damage to pretend that nothing has happened and that we are the perfect couple.“I accept it.” says Lake seriously.Everyone starts to murmur among themselves and that's why I make a sign for them to be quiet.
