Chapter 40
Mariana’s POV
1 week later..
Alexandra was still unconscious and in the hospital. Everything was going back to normal. We all took turns in taking care of Alexandra. Bupe, Jake, Jack,Jacob, Jane,the twins,Maureen and me never left his side we were always there for him.
They would be days me and Jane would cry when we missed our mother and everyone comforted us and told us we are not alone which I believe we are not.
I still have not spoken to the Siblings about the past events and not cleared everything yet even with Jack. I was not willing to do so because the only thing on my mind was my mate who didn’t move but was probably getting better.
I was stroking Alexandra’s hair when the door was pushed open and someone got in it was Jack.
" Hey, how is he doing? ”
" His fine I can say, he has improved a lot ”
" Yes he has, can we have a moment please I promise I won’t waste your time ” Jack said and I nodded. We went out far away from Alexandra so he would not wake up and listen to something he should not hear.
We were outside the pack hospital sitting on a bench after leaving Alexandra with a nurse to take care of him.
" So what is it you want to talk about with me? “I asked immediately I didn’t want to waste time Alexandra needed me beside me.
" Mariana I know you are still upset with me for hiding the truth from you and believe me when I say I regret never telling you in the first place” Jack said seriously.
" Well great you do, so why did you hide all this from me? Never once have you ever told me you have a brother and when he came to the office you still thought it was not necessary to tell me”
" No you are wrong I wanted to tell you but I could not do it, believe me I tried a couple of times but nothing ever came out and I just never wanted to talk about it and remember anything from the past but every time I was around you that was the only thing I wanted you to know ”
" Well am right here and listening so go ahead and tell me”
Jack’s POV
*Flash back*
When I was young the only thing I wanted to do was be happy with my family and friends. Go to school, grow up and find a mate and build a family. But all that went down when I lost my parents.
Everything just got destroyed, my family, my dreams, my goals, finding a mate and having my own family.
But one thing that hurt me the most is when Alexandra distanced himself from me and Maria when we needed him the most and he took over the alpha position when I was fourteen.
He became ruthless, mercilessly, heartless, cold, distance and killed everyone who attacked the pack he didn’t give a damn that he had other people’s blood in his hands.
Some rogues attacked when it was my birthday and a fight broke down. In the fight Alexandra killed my best friend Lydia and said it was a accident and I didn’t believe it when I went to talk to him about it. He denied all the accusations and snapped. He punched me on my cheek and threw me to the wall with his alpha powers.
He didn’t seem a bit hurt that he hit me and I was crying in front of him instead he left the room without looking at me.
That night I thought about it and decided to run away but I couldn’t do it when I thought about Maria, who would take care of her when I leave? Alexandra?absolutely not he would only hurt her more.
When I turned sixteen I decided I had enough of being Alexandra’s punching bag and I finally ran away living my baby sister in the hands of a monster instead of a brother.
Reaching in the human world I never had anywhere to go or live. Then a couple took me in they had a son could Jack but died weeks later because of a brain tumor. The couple didn’t know what to do, they were ready to give up everything but I stopped them and decided to be their child, me and Jack were the same age but different from everything we do.
From that day I was no longer Alec Black I was now Jack Johnson with two loving parents and I hoped Maria would be here to experience the same love.
Just as I was going to school I met Alexandra. He told me to go back home with him but I refused I was not willing to give up my beautiful life just to go back with Alexandra to his pack. When I didn’t go with him he sent a group of men to beat me up and the funny part is he didn’t do anything about it and only watched with no care and that only made me hate him more and from then I never considered Alexandra as a brother but a monster with no emotions.
Luckily I didn’t have to see Alexandra again because my parents were going on a business trip to Zambia and I had to go with them which I did. There I met my beautiful best friend Mariana.
We would go to school together and do everything together. I forgot about the pain, the beatings and the hatred I had towards Alexandra.
* Back to present*
Mariana was now crying after what I told her. Hugging me tight to herself ” Jack am sorry you went through that all alone am so sorry. Please forgive me ”
" Mariana it’s not your fault and all those things happened before I met you so don’t worry ”
" Jack I apologize on Alexandra’s behalf, you know Alexandra is not such a man I know he didn’t mean to do all that to you. Please forgive him ”
" Mariana don’t worry I already forgave him when I saw him dying and I regretted everything that happened between us and now when he wakes up I will tell him we can be a family again and forget the past”
" Thank you ” Mariana said wiping her tears away ” I love both of you and I would not want to lose neither of you and am also sorry for not being a good best friend ”
" You are forgiven ” Mariana said and stood up ” Anyway Jack I would like to stay with you much longer but I have a mate to take care of ”
" Mariana ” I called her when she was about to leave and she turned to face me ” Well if we are going to start this friendship again withouto lies then I need to tell you something ” I sighed and continued ” Jane is my mate”.
