Chapter 13
She abruptly gazes in my direction with a venomous glare that makes my heart clench within.
I know I had no right to feel this way, I had hurt her a million times over and this ache was nothing compared to her scars.
I have seen her cry before, out of pain, when she was being tortured, when I f****d Riley in her presence but never emotionally. I had always thought she had a stone cold heart or no heart at all. She looked at me just like she had always done all these years with vile hatred. Now it hits differently because she did it because of Dimitri and I wanted to cut him ten times over gripping the sword hard as she stared at him like he was the only thing that mattered.
It was pitiful to see him sprawled on the floor looking helpless, I had seen Dimitri take a bullet to the chest, a sword to the gut and an arrow to the leg but he had never acted so pitiful he was playing the victim in this story making me the villain when I'm not... or am I?
The medics came, she helped him to his feet, sitting on the stretcher.
The whole time I watched as they started leaving she glanced back at me like she wanted me dead clueless on how much pain I underwent secretly.
Today was a million times worse. The pain of seeing her with another man was enough to bring me to my knees kissing another man and he had the guts to handle her like she belonged to him. Maybe she did.
I stood here watching the whole episode, Calius growling feeling the severe pain snarling it was all my fault.
I knew I deserved everything, I was getting every nerve-wracking moment, it dawned on me I had to let her go sitting in her shoes. I don't deserve a woman as strong as she.
She had been feeling this very anguish all these years, never so much as complaining once.
No, I couldn't do this to her anymore, taking a step backward. I looked away, my eyes tearing up. I had to let her go no matter how badly it would hurt or break me. She deserved to be happy. HAILEY STEWARTS
"Hailey... Dimitri breaths on my lips breaking the moment I whine sadly at the loss of contact gasping for air.
"Baby you better stop before I flip you over and take you from behind right here right now" He says in a husky tone and I'm suddenly conscious we were making out in a hospital.
The most rad thing I had ever done, my insides were doing backflips as I slowly climbed off his lap to sit by his side.
"I didn't say you should leave" he grumbles, reaching out and smacking my b**t.
In a weird way I would enjoy him doing so once more frowning at him but smiling within.
"It in a way worked, I can hardly feel the pain in my leg" he shakes his leg in evidence looking like he'd seen a ghost.
Really vampire" I say, raising a brow amused.
Unpopular fact the blood of my pack had healing abilities, a gift given to elders by the moon goddess longed before I was born passing through generations now I was the only left with the gift as far as to my knowledge. "Honestly I can't feel the injury" Dimitri says his eyes going dark touching his leg his eyes widened in shock as he recklessly rips the bandages.
"The wound...he gulps, "The wound is gone" Dimitri says watching me suspiciously" how is that possible"
I don't know why but I reveal to him the secret knowing fully aware of the dangers not feeling concerned.
Whenever I'm around him I feel like a bird, acting freely like I had known him for a very long time. Our bodies unites like we have been bound by the mate tide but the attraction looks rather plan than the mate bond. "So I owe you one" he looks at me like a priceless possession before leaning for a soft kiss pulling away shortly.
"Why don't I repay the favor?" he says more like a statement than a question, dragging the syringe out his arm. Not waiting for my reply, he buried the bed staggering a little before getting used to it. He smiles at me pulling me off the bed twirling me in his arms. "What are you doing?" I giggled.
"Repaying the favor, let's go to my place," he says, rubbing the back of my hand softly.
Your house?" I was puzzled.
"Yes it's not far away from here let's bust the joint"
"No no I don't think that's a good idea I need to get back to the back house and continue my duties" I declined politely.
His jaw clenches and he's evidently distrubed by what I said but quick to hide the emotion.
"I'll take you back in time,I promise and rip anyone apart who tries to harm you even if I have to convince the whole house myself I won't let anything happen to you." He had held my both hands in his standing a feet apart looking directly into my eyes as he said the words.
I trust my safety into the hands of this man nodding in approval as tongue felt numb.
His smile brightens up the room as he spins me one more time.
"Shouldn't we get a doctor or something and you can't possibly go out like that" I say, rolling my eyes on his beautiful shirtless body and shorts.
"Nah the ladies don't mind" he winks in my direction,I fake a smile feeling a pang of jealousy as he mentioned 'the ladiss' and it gets worse as we walk into the hallway females kept yelling at him I saw a bleeding woman but still looked in his direction of Dimitri enchanted by his charm,which he doesn't seem to notice holding my hand tight in his for some reason I smile keeping my head low as they started daggers my way.
You stay here I'm coming" without questioning why I trust the man with my life. He left me on the pavement close to the road not a car in sight and even if there was his blue convertible it would have overshadowed it.
My jaw drops as I stare at the beauty sitting in the driver's sitis Dimitri now wearing a black top.
"Hope in coochie looks like you like Mabe"

Maybe?" I question going to the second door and get it
"Yes Babe my first baby had it brought to me this morning. I had planned to leave. It was better that I nursed myself in my home than the hospital urk! I hate the smell" making me chuckle. I know exactly how he feels. Dimitri drives smoothly through the road. I had never been outside the pack house before not knowing there was another world out in the open. I pick a scent, not a werewolf. I shift uncomfortably in the sit
"We're here" I look at the small car building and smile, not bad but he doesn't stobythe car driving forward stopping in front of a luxurious house.
He must be joking right.
"Welcome to my humble home" taking in the huge building in front of me I freeze in my seat unbelieving.
"Come out, would you?" Dimitri had opened the car door, his hand outstretched taking it he pulled me out the car into the gates.
He buzzes in on the small device then the gate slides open.
"Welcome sit" reaching the flight of stairs a huge man in black suit bows his head while Dimitri tosses him the car keys which he catches mid air.
Back in the pack house I had done everything for everyone and here I was everything was being done for me by humans.
I declined the make-up they wanted to use on me but I was comfortable in my skin we had shuffle through the masses of clothes and back still all the dresses making me cringe so tiny and tight I wonder how they fit I finally settled on one Spilling out my breasts covering only my nipples.
"Ma the dress looks perfect on you" I give a small smile pulling the gown down not liking it myself.
I wear flats than the pointing heels that looked uncomfortable to wear
"Mr Dimitri said we should blindfold you to where he was."

"Why" I asked confused shifting to see the maids fade fully"
He didn't say but hoped you trusted him enough to do it"
I wouldn't have a clue why but I still let them after making them promise they won't let me fall.
I walk wobbly as the maids hold my hands leading me according to Dimitri.
"I'll take it from here" I hear Dimitri say the hands in my palms switched to a rather strong one.
One more step don't fright okay now sit that a*s down I bend almost tipping the chair over but Dimitri holds it steady.
"You look stunning tonight baby" he whispers hot on my neck planting a small kiss on my cheeks.
"Okay okay settle down" he squeezed my hands lightly as he removed the blind fold from my eyes. I flutter my lashes, the light a bit bright before settling on the dinner table in front of me.
