Alpha King’s Special Soulmate

THEME: Plain torture

DARK MOON PACK

Edda’s Point Of View

I stood still on a spot without looking up at him. “My mate cheated on me and I ran off… but I ended up with a manipulator.. and a liar.” I stopped but still thinking out loud. “So it is true that.. the devil you know yesterday is better than the Angel you just met.” I completed.

“I am sorry, Edda. I have lived with this guilt over the years which has ate deep into my heart. I shouldn’t have hid the truth from you.” Riley said in an apologetic tone.

Finding out the truth is plain torture to me. The picture slipped off my hand. “Tell me the truth, Riley.” I looked up at him. “Did you ever love me, Riley?” I whispered.

These words sounded familiar in my head but I don’t remember how, why, when and where I had used it. Riley didn’t answer me.

“It is her right? Leah, you can’t possibly get over her.” I cried covering my face. Why do I have to go through this pain? Don’t I deserve to be happy?

“Alex and I must have constantly reminded you of the fact that you can’t bear a pup. But.. I would have appreciated the truth from you even though it would hurt me.” I sobbed.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“I know.. I was selfish.. but I was only trying to protect you.” Riley muttered.

I shook my head slowly in disagreement. “No.. no.. this is no fucking protection! Twenty years Riley! I have been with you for good twenty years but.. you never for once made.. me feel like I deserve you! It is always about Leah! Leah! Leah! In the last twenty years.. I have lived as her shadow! I desperately waited for the day you would see me as someone who truly deserve a chance into your heart! Riley-” My voice broke off and I bit my lower lip to stop the tears but it didn’t work.

“I tried.. Riley.. I tried.. I really tried my best.. to be a good wife. I begged you to love me.. I begged you to see me as a wolf worthy to be your mate but you were always so distant from home. I can’t count how many I had to cry myself to sleep because of you. So tell me, is twenty years not good enough to prove that I love you so much?!” I yelled at him.

I breathed out heavily expecting him to say something. I was hoping that he would say that he fell in love in the process or that he never meant to hurt me in any way. Just something to assure me that twenty years wasn’t in vain. But all I got was absolute silence. It only means that I shouldn’t expect anything good to come out from this conversation. I was heartbroken and my wolf was dejected.

“My son.. my son..” I broke down in tears and slowly started towards the door. “How can he be mated to his step sister? They can’t be mated to each other.” I sobbed.

“Edda.. wait! You are bleeding!” I heard him calling out to me.

No one would ever love me no matter how hard I try. Maybe it is all my fault. I shouldn’t have left my mate’s pack.

Riley caught up with me too quickly and grabbed my shoulders. It was as if I couldn’t see him. “You are bleeding!” He coaxed.

I jerked free from his hold and continued walking off. The revelation was a huge blow on me. So what would happen to Avery and Alexander?

Riley grabbed my wrist and spun me into his arms. “Edda..” he whispered.

That’s not even my name. I am Avery Lance. How did I leave a cheater only to end up with a manipulator?

“I am sorry. Please forgive me. It was selfish of me to have used you for my own benefit.” He pleaded.

How do I tell this story to my son? Would Alex ever accept the truth and let go of his mate? My son. He doesn’t deserve this. He should remain happy.

All of a sudden I pushed Riley away from me. “This is all your fault!” I screamed.

“I know.. but please forgive me.” He begged.

“I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! So don’t you ever show your face to me again!” I pointed at him before running off.

I should find my son. Alex needs to know the truth. But instead of me to head to the pack house, I found myself running into the woods until I reached a body of water. It was the same one Riley had found me.

“Edda!” I heard his voice echoing my name in the woods and more footsteps were approaching me.

“Alex.. he needs to know the whole truth.” I started walking into the water. I knew I was hallucinating the presence of Alex in the water but I couldn’t bring myself out of it.

I was desperate to see my son. “If I cross over to the other side.. that’s his college then I’ll see my precious son. Yes! Alex! Wait for me! I have to tell you something! Where is Avery?!” I screamed.

“Edda! Please come back! She is out of her mind!” I heard him say.

I looked back and saw Riley and four other wolves coming after me. I walked faster in the water until it reached my waist.

“Alex! Can you hear me?! Come to mommy! Oh my boy! I love you so much!” I giggled loud as I saw Alex in my vision. It made me happy that my son was here to save me.

But all of a sudden, the water overshadowed me. My legs gave way and I could feel myself drowning deeply into the water. I went down deeper, deeper and couldn’t save myself. I didn’t get to see my son before loosing my consciousness.
