Chapter 35: painful truth

His lips were crushed against mine almost the same time he pull away. 

Are you alright? I ask

I am fine now, let's forget about the drugs, I just want to sleep. 

Will you sleep here? He closed his eyes, like shutting my voice from his memory, the banging of the door was the next thing, I heard, curiosity was written all over my face and the only thing I thought of doing was to run to the door, his back was all I could see, he races through the hallway, I wonder what could be the problem. I wish he could tell me, the reason, he is avoiding me like a plague, maybe I will have a solution to this whole madness. 

Then a thought rush into me, what if he is sick what if something is wrong with him? I should look for him, he wasn't looking good before leaving the room, he was trembling. 

I grabbed my robe that was on the floor, walked into the hallway, and was heading to his quarter, even though I know that going to his quarter in the royal castle is off limited for me but I was worried about him. 

Where are you going? That voice from behind stopped me, you should know that the only person that could stop me, is Hazel, her hatred for me know no limit, if she had the opportunity to throw me out of the pack, she would have done it, if there is anyone that should be mad, it should be me, only me, because Stefan was supposed to be mine not the other way round, she is acting like I am the one seducing her mate. Maybe, they are mates. 

I only want to check on Stefan, he seems to be in a bad condition. 

Don't worry about him, he is fine, he will be fine as long as he distances himself from you. 

Distance himself from me? I don't understand. 

Fiona, why are you such a selfish possessive destroyer all at the same time? 

Excuse me! I said trying to keep myself in check, yet confusion and anger were invading my entire being, mad that she said that to me, mad that she is the one being selfish and yet, she called me selfish, if I were selfish and possessive did she think I will let my man come close to this flirtatious woman that keeps throwing herself at my man. 

You wanted Stefan all to yourself and you pushed him into the jealous part that even if he try to hurt you a bit, he felt like he is hurting himself, he wants to protect you, but protecting you, will mean doom for him. But it seems you don't care, you left your pack and join him here, if he dies, will that make you happy? You seem not to care about him, Stefan is going against everyone all because of you. Your presence here is cursing a whole lot of trouble, you are putting Stefan in danger.

My fist clenched, trying so hard to control my anger

You calling selfish, what about you, aren't you selfish? Didn't you want Stefan all to yourself as well? 

Yes, I wanted him to myself, I love him since we were kids, and we have been together for the longest time, even before he met you, I was the only woman in his life, the one that is truly worthy to be his Luna, I am strong, we could go to war together and come out victorious, with me by his side and I might be selfish but being with me will not put him in danger. 

Her words are painful, Stefan might be with her all his life but he picks me, even if I am not his mate, it only means, there must be a reason for picking me

But what about you? You will always put him in danger, you will bring nothing but trouble to him, and come to think of it, what can you offer him? Nothing, you scared of him, your body you can't even give him, war, you can't even back him up, and to crown it all, you are a human, you are without wolf. How are you going to protect yourself when he is not there? You are prone to so many problems, you are more like a useless toy, that will bring more harm than good to your innocent owner. 

I frown at her words. 

Are you surprised that, I know you are keeping your body for what I don't know, women are to serve their husbands nor give them rules, rules when it comes to satisfying them sexually is wickedness

Anger and bitterness run in my veins, this is one of the reasons, I hated Stefan, telling everyone about my weakness and everything I confirm with him. 

Not to worry, very soon, we are going to get back at that mate of yours, Leonid, and take back what rightfully belongs to us, and then I will marry Stefan, I will be his Luna, I will take him away from you completely, there is no way that my Stefan will have a human as a Luna by him side

She walked passed me a bit, standing behind me. 

Fiona! She called causing me to look at her. If you truly love Stefan as you claimed, then you should think of what is best for him, that is to go far away, so you don't destroy him because he can't love you, loving you, is forbidden for him. 

Tears drop from my eyes, watching Hazel's back, just maybe, she is right, I am not good enough for him, what kind of a mate will I be to him? I lack so many things, not skill enough to fight a war, not being able to give him my body. Yes, I was selfish and possessive, selfish to want to keep him and yet, he is not my mate, possessive to want him to love me and have his eyes only on me when he doesn't love me. I put him in so much danger, Leonid would had kill him, if he didn't outsmart him. I am nothing but trouble to him. 

Thought have overcrowded my mind that didn't know when I left the castle gate, none of the guards are there, after the Incident, that I was lost at the cemetery, I confided in Sky, Sky had warned me not to go out alone. 

Yet, the pain in my heart didn't make me see the danger, that was lurking around me. 

My lady! I turned my gaze, to look at Sky, he is the one calling out to me. You should come back. He screamed, he was running towards me.

Get her.
