Chapter Thirteen
my feet had carried me home non-stop. reaching the front door, my hands trembled as I tried turning the doorknob. succeeding, I entered the house all the way up to mom’s room, barging in, whilst throwing the door open. mom sat, with Daniel beside her.
startled, they both froze at the sudden intrudance. Daniel seemed surprised as he put his hand on his heart as though he was about to die. calming down, he turned to face me, his eyes suddenly alert at my demeanour.
“Colleen, what’s the matter?” he questioned.
panting, I swallowed a lump in my throat which had made it hard for me to speak. what was I going to do? swallowing, I opened my mouth as my c=voice shook with every word.
“He knows mom… and he’s going to come.” I said with my heart pounding faster in my chest.
“Who is coming?” Daniel questioned at the sudden exchange between mom and I. I couldn’t bring myself to tell him what had happened.
“Calm down my love, pack up, you’re going to France. there aren’t any packs formed so you’ll be just fine.” she said her eyes not meeting mine. what?
“What’s going on? who is coming? why are you leaving? you’re not going anywhere if there’s danger I’m here.” he said as he looked at me sternly.
“Daniel, please…” I said not finding my courage.
“No Colleen, No.” he said not backing down.
“I GOT REJECTED!” I yelled in frustration as my heart clenched.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“… What?”
“I pathetically fell in love with my mate and got rejected the same way. a man like him doesn’t deserve us.” I said as his eyes widened.
“You’re… Pregnant?” he asked slowly as his eyes darkened.
I looked down shamefully as I nodded at his question. Daniel growled as he turned around taking a breath. I couldn’t face him. it was too embarrassing and it was too pathetic. to think, I thought finding my mate was going to be my blessing but turns out… it was a punishment.
“Does he know? Daniel asked.”
“I don’t know, please Daniel, please. I need to get out of here I don’t want him here, I don’t want him near me. please Daniel.”
Daniel growled looking pissed. “What kind of idiot is he.!” he shouted banging the side table.
Sighing he rubbed his temples, his head trying to process all this newfound information. everything was happening too fast. Daniel grabbed my hand dropping a credit card in, before pulling my wrist and dragging me to the car. was he upset? calling up a person, he put the phone down and began to drive away from the house.
“Where are we going?” I questioned
“I’m getting you out of here.” he said monotonously.
“COLLEEN!” I could hear Reese’s Growl. But it was too late. I was not going to look back. he didn’t deserve us.
I felt a wet liquid on my hands, only for my vision to become blurry. why was I crying? I couldn’t help but let the tears pour out, as my heart tightened in my chest. I couldn’t let myself falter. he didn’t deserve us. he didn’t love us. he didn’t need us.
likewise… I don’t need him.
**Reese’s POV: (finally!!)**
She was gone, and I couldn’t chase her at the speed the car was going. this made no sense. I was meant to resolve everything, but I didn’t think shed fall ill because of it all. if I had a choice, I wouldn’t have dragged her into this.
rushing into her house, I knocked on her mother’s bedroom as she said a faint come in. she looked at me with a sad smile, before her expression turned pained. “Edna…!” I rushed to her side.
“I’m okay, it seems my body has gotten weaker than before.” she said sadly. “I’m sorry I couldn’t stop her or change her mind.” she apologized as she stroked my hair. “It seems our family has caused you a lot of trouble.” she smiled.
“You don’t need to apologize; I just wish shed stay for a moment longer so I could explain things to her better…. Edna, why did you let her go?” I couldn’t help but let my conscious get the better of me.
it felt as though my heart was being ripped apart knowing she wasn’t present any longer. if hurting our relationship meant shed be safe, I’d do it a hundred times. but why was she so hasty? I couldn’t understand her need to run away. I clenched my hand as I felt my myself draw blood. the moon goddess was playing tricks and it wasn’t fun in any sense.
“Reese, you have to get her back! You have to explain things to her. she’s young, she’s fragile and she doesn’t understand. you need to tell her.”
“How am I supposed to do that Edna without risking our lives? How am I supposed to find her? Would she believe me? we’d get found out before I get to utter any words.” I said as I sighed combing my hand through my hair roughly.
“I sent her to France Reese, you’ll both be fine there. since its more open, the chances of getting caught are slim. go to her Reese, you both don’t deserve this. Explain things but show her your sincerity. she won’t forgive you at first, but be patient with her, she’s been through so much.” Edna Spoke out.
“Yes.” I said, I stood up, turning around the door slammed open, and before I could do anything I felt a fist connect with my jaw. My alpha instincts made me become fully aware and ready to counterattack.
“DANIEL!” Edna yelled as he punched me once again. I felt myself growl in anger, my pheromones making him fall back in dominance.
“HOW COULD YOU GET HER PREGNANT THEN REJECT HER! ” he choked out.
my whole world froze. what?
Pregnant?
“Pregnant? Colleen’s pregnant?” I turned to Edna, only to see her guilty eyes. She looked away. My mate was pregnant and I didn’t even realize it. She was carrying a part of me. So all the tiredness, all the puking, all the emotional breakdowns was because she was pregnant.
And what hurts most is she was in pain, along with my child. I could’ve hurt her. I could’ve killed my own child. She was suppressing her feelings; she was breaking on the inside. But stood strong.
“Edna why didn’t you tell me?” I questioned her. She simply looked at me with tears eyes, but tears were already rolling out my eyes. I was going to be a father. And I didn’t even know….
I banged my hand in the ground. “That stupid mate of yours and his threats! If only I didn’t, if didn’t reject her, she’d…” I said as a lump formed in my throat. haa, this was simply a joke. this whole thing was some kind of ploy. to think I hurt not only my mate but the child she was carrying.
“Reese, don’t waste too much time! go to her.” Edna said.
I had to get her back. I had to get them back.
