Chapter 78
Hector POV
"Hector just take me back!"
"Alora..." I try to plead with her to let me finish but she has completely shut down on me. She angles her body towards the door, her leg crossing over the other even her legs trying to get as far away from me as possible
"If that's what you want.." I seethe through gritted teeth. I could tell her what a monster he was, but she would never believe me.
She was so manipulated by him, so under his control from such a young age that I'm realising now what Kaia said... that we never really stood a chance.
The drive back to the Amber Desert pack is silent, she refuses to engage with me any further. She might as well have marked him already, she'll never see him other than through her rose tinted eyes.
As we pull into the gated entrance, Than is already waiting with his warriors. I wonder how much longer he would have given me before starting the hunt. Perhaps he doesn't know her as well as he thinks he does, there was no way she was going to leave with me...even I knew that.
My chest was heavy, each breath painful knowing that this might be the last time I saw her. I can't return here, this pack held too many bad memories for me as it is.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Most of them provided by the ever delightful Medea. Memories I don't like to think about, how I spent the first part of my life living completely differently to the werewolf community I know thrive within. 1
How Medea tried to oust me as soon as I arrived. How she would play nice in front of her mate, but as soon as his back was turned, the bitch would come out. Father, never knowing her true colours. I suppose Than gets that from her.
"If you go back to this pack he will mark you and any bond between us will be gone." I try one last time to get through to her, to make her see. Even from an early age Medea has had her teeth in Alora. Another mother figure that Alora needed when her own parent's died. I really was up against it when I returned
after years away.
"I know." She breathes out, the severity of her choice to leave the car hitting me square in the chest.
She would always choose him.
I've been stuck in a state of limbo for the past 4 years planning for a future that was never meant to be mine. Planning for a future with her, that she would never accept. Him...always him.
He opens her side door, putting his hand out for her to take. I'm surprised the door wasn't ripped off its hinges. I could see the shaking of his body...his wolf pressing beneath the surface wanting to kill me, for it to be done. For the competition to be removed once and for all. "Go back to the house...my men will escort you."
"Than..." She turns to me her eyes full of concern as Than slams the passenger door shut.
His hand snakes to her neck, his head dipping to kiss the top of hers and I have to swallow back down the bile that rises to the back of my throat. She was meant to be mine. wont be long."
She leaves, escorted by his men as Than walks to the driver's side and I am forced to wind down my window.
I'd rather not converse with him, I'd much rather just kill the prick with my own hands.
"If you show up here again, I will murder you where you stand." His snarl is laced with hatred for me.
"If it wouldn't destroy Alora I'd murder you now for what you have done to Kaia." My snarl back is just as hateful.
"Oh?" He bends down, leaning against the window frame.
"I was going to trade Kaia for Alora, but I can see now that Alora will never be out of your control..."
"Like I've said all along, she's mine." His smugness is sickening, and he knows it.
