Chapter 92

"This is not up for discussion, I wouldn't give a damn if she was dead. I am being patient with you Aiden, but I have expectations that need to be seen to. You better get used to not seeing her. because this is the las time you will be seeing her." in all her glory she explains to me, like a little naughty child that has to be put straight.

Bullshit. I wasn't going to stand here and let her move me around like a pawn on her chess board. She had a lesson coming her way. She had no authority coming in between my marriage and doing the crazy she was doing now.

"Claire," I clench my teeth to keep my voice from coming out in a harsh manner, "You have everything you wanted, what is the problem now. Didn't I say I will be there and not with her? as soon as I drop them off I will be with you and you will have nothing to worry about." I try for a smile at the end to sooth the punch I passively threw.

I did not wait on her command, I shut the door after me with Bella laying limp on my lap.

"You will regret choosing her over me Aiden." She says with coldness creeping up her voice. Her gaze too turned icy. Of course Claire was a sight to behold, she had what every woman considered beauty. She had the iconic white hair, baby blue eyes that could steal with stealth, and the body. But she wasn't my sight to hold, I was more of a natural man who needed a caring woman who was just woman, if that makes sense.

After the door closed, Patrick didn't need to be told to drive away, he sped off immediately.

Getting to the apartment I arranged for them to stay in, I make sure to send my beta to the store to get groceries and anything that my family will be needing. I wasn't prepared for that part because I didn't think it would actually get to this point.

I didn't bother with rushing her to some, I knew she was going to come to soon. She was shocked, she just needed some time. More than anything, I would like to wait until she came to so that I clear any misunderstandings.

The pride I me wouldn't let me. My mind still ringing to that time she deemed our children more important than her life, and didn't care that she was going to leave me alone. If that didn't say "I don't love you the way you thought" I don't know what would be more perfect.

It stung, it did. You can't imagine a grown man with a pack of his curling up in a corner and cry his entire body weight out. The phrasing is a bit exaggerated as I didn't curl up in a corner but running on a paved floor as I let tears flow down my cheeks.

Till that day I don't remember the last time I had let water leak out through my eyes. Actually I did, that was the day my parents were both laid to rest. They rest in the backyard as I speak. That is where I had spread them.

The neighbor that had helped with everything had them cremated for me, he thought I would have liked seeing them once in a while. I didn't.

I make fast of doing the things that needed to be done. I walk my way to my pups and carry them both in my big arms. Taking turns kissing their foreheads I apologize to them what I am supposed to be telling Bella. In the process I drop a tear on Raven's face.

She gets startled and looks up. I wife her forehead and apologize again. I smile this time to lighten up her always smiling face, but it seemed like she could look right through me. Glancing at Rafe, he had the judgmental face he seemed comfortable wearing. But this time it was like he was telling his sister that they should have never trusted me.

I think I was getting tired, I imagined a whole conversation between babies just by their facial expressions. I needed to rest, that was it.

I made sure to be out of the house before Bella got to. I didn't want her to find me in the house. Call me coward all you like but I wasn't ready yet, I needed to give her time.

With that I stroll down the path that was going to eventually lead me home, not soon but later I will be home where the evil dragon awaits.

I do eventually get home and when I do, what I find there shocks the life out of my sockets. There were two pack members looking frantic outside my house. I asked them what was wrong, they told me that the woman in the house said she couldn't get the message to convey to me. That must've been Claire.

I asked them what the news was, what they told me? They told me to be scared for my life and my pup's. They said that bodies had been found. Bodies with carved symbols, symbols that made no sense. They also had a note attached to them, and it read, Next time it will be the alpha and his precious offspring.

If this want scary then you my friend are into some really dark things. Rushing inside to get my jacket. It was nearing sundown and it had already started to get chilly. I needed something to wear as I follow those two men to where the bodies were.

I step in and find Claire on the lounging chair with her legs crossed. I stop to really look at her, she was in nothing but her undergarments. I continue on my way and grab my jacket.

Passing her again with not so much as a glance I head for the door before she stops me. Too late, she stops me.
