Chapter 8
This carriage looked expensive and this made Althea felt uncomfortable.
“I think, I will walk.” Althea tried to avoid him. First, she didn’t know him well. It was already very absurd for her to accommodate a drunk man in her house and second, she didn’t want to get involved with him, whoever he was. “I know that you are grateful for my help, but a simple ‘thank you’ is enough.
However, the man insisted.
“You have helped me, let me repaid your kindness. I will feel bad for the rest of my life to not be able to help you back.”
Althea pressed her lips. “You have bought me so many food, I think we are even now.” She then added. “I don’t even know your name.”
“Alexander. You can call me Alex.”
Althea nodded politely. “Thank you for your help, Alex. But I think this is time for us to part way.” She excused herself and then walked away.
Seeing the stubbornness in her eyes, Alexander didn’t make her stay, he let her go, but a young man around the age of twenty five approached him. He had this look on his face that said, he disagreed with whatever Alexander was thinking right now.
“You need to stop this. She is right. You have done enough to show your gratitude, more than this, you only make her uncomfortable.”
Alexander watched Althea walked away. “No.”
The young man frowned. “No? What do you mean no?”
“Here.” Killian handed over the ring that Sean gave to Althea, so she could have a little bit of money again.”
for herself. “Never do it
This ring was very precious to Sean, because her late mate was the one, who had given her this, but because she needed to help Althea, she had to let it go.
“Thank you, alpha.”
Killian didn’t say anything, he just left again. Now, he knew where Althea was heading, of course, he was going to take her back to the pack.
The ring was pawned near the harbor and a few people confirmed that Althea took a ship to go to main island, of course, Killian would go there as soon as possible.
However, before he could leave the pack, Willow approached him again. She was still trying to win him over, because she wanted everything to get back to normal between them.
“What do you mean normal?” Killian asked sharply.
The tension between them was palpable, one could cut the air with a knife. Currently, they were in the strategy room. Willow interrupted Killian’s meeting with his beta and g**a, as he distributed the assignment for them, since he would for quite long.
Killian didn’t know how long he could find Althea, but at the very least, he would be away for two or three months.
Yet, Willow came to interrupt this meeting.
Out of respect for both of them the g**a and the beta left the two of them to finish whatever unfinish problem between them.
“I know my wrong doing, Killian. Please, forgive me…” Willow cried her heart out. “Can’t you forgive me? I thought you love me.”
“I loved you, Willow, but not anymore.”
Killian’s answer was very blunt and direct, it was so hard to hear and it broke Willow even more, as she cried her heart out.
“How can you say that? If you really loved me, you will be able to find it in you to forgive me, you will not give up on me this easily!” Willow was devastated, she was being very emotional right now.
“It’s so rich coming from the mouth of a woman, who jumped into her destined mate’s d**k the first moment she saw him.”
Willow gasped, that word was really hurtful. Killian had never talked like this to her before, but right now, all he said was aimed to hurt her.
“I didn’t think straight, I am sorry. I am really sorry…” Willow cried, she tried to hug Killian. “I am really sorry to hurt you.” Willow left her destined mate and even rejected him because she couldn’t live the way he lived his life. He was a rogue, he moved from one place to the other. In the beginning, it was a new experience for Willow.
She was very excited to see the world with her newly found mate, but as time went by and the thrill had met its expiration date, all she felt was misery and resentment.
Willow used to live comfortably and no need to think about anything else, just lived, eat and enjoyed it. But, with her destined mate, she felt hunger for the first time. She experienced what people called to be poor.
That was not the life she wanted.
“Don’t touch me.” Killian pushed her away, it was very clear that he didn’t even want to be touched by her.
“Killian, please. I will be your woman. I will not leave you again this time.”
“I don’t want that. You are disgusting and broken.”
Willow cried even harder when she heard that, but Killian didn’t have any care for her, as he left her devastated.
There were many important things that he needed to take care of before he left for the main island. If his calculation was correct, Althea would give birth to their first child within two months. He couldn’t miss that moment…
Athea was startled to see her small rented room be so clean and new. Her lousy bed that kept giving her a back pain had been discarded and changed into a new one, which looked way more comfortable.
In her kitchen cabinet, there were a lot of food. More than that strange man named Alex had bought this morning. “What happened here?” Althea furrowed her brows, she couldn’t wrap her mind around this change.
But then, she heard a knock on the door and when she opened it, there he was, standing with a bouquet of flowers.
