70. Pathetic Painful Memories

Chapter Seventy: Pathetic Painful Memories

Miya’s POV

I knew the man was not to be trusted, he said we were just going to take two cups and yet he went back and brought out another bottle to the counter earning a frown from me.

“You said two cups of wine, am already done with one and you are bringing another bottle, did you mistake cup to be bottle?”

I glared at him, but he only smiled.

“Don’t worry, I won’t make you do what you don’t want”

“Huh!”

What was the meaning of that sentence? He’ll like he could even make me do anything, even if he wanted, he couldn’t, I am also a strong person.

I just scuffed at his thought of thinking he could even do anything to me, this man is clearly underestimating me.

I gulped down the bottle at once and stood up to leave, I wouldn’t want to stay any longer with him.

I started walking towards the door before remembering that he had locked the door which was why I even agreed to sit with him at the first place.

I came back to meet him seating on the stool where I had sat, two drinks were in his hand and he had a smug smile on his face.

I dejectedly took the seat next to him, collected the second cup from him and gulped it in one go.

“Now can you please open the door?”

I said impatiently feeling my head become light, I looked at him impatiently, I needed to run back home since I don’t have a car, it’s already getting late, why can’t he understand?

“It’s pathetic right?”

“Yes very”

I blurted out, it’s pathetic that he had locked me up in his house and forced me to drink with him, it’s pathetic just thinking about it, even being in this pack alone is pathetic so yes, yes it’s pathetic.

“You also think it’s going down the hill too?”

“What are we talking about exactly?” I am already loosing track of what we were talking about, I thought we were talking about my situation?

“Isn’t it obvious? It used to be just me and my old man, when he died I took over the seat of the Alpha.”

Ohhh we were now talking about things that touch the heart? Oh this is interesting, I thought and made myself very comfortable, this should be interesting right?

“This pack used to be very great, it did far better than now, but things have changed drastically, when I ascended the Alpha seat, I have lost a lot of my warriors and even my mate”

“Is your mate by any chance Sophia?”

“Yes, Sophia, you know her right? She used to be the most innocent person I knew, but now, she had turned me into an enemy and had brought an untimely death to herself.

I have given her everything she could have ever asked, I didn’t even have to wait for her to ask, as long I could smell the need or want from her, am on my toes and running halter shelter until it was settled.

I only wanted to give her the best life I could, At first I thought I did, until she proved me wrong when she rejected me for a rogue, a fucking rogue Miya”

“Pash”. The glass cup I was holding fell down instantly spilling the contents of it in the floor.

The disgusting look on his face when he said rogue was very awful, I could read the untold meaning of his words, Rogues were a taboo for him right and I was also a rogue.

“Arh! What are you doing? Go get a mop stick”

I came to my sense and went to the store room without any difficulty. I am already conversant with many rooms in this house after staying here for a short while.

I came back to see him picking the broken bottles with his right hand while his left was kept on the floor very close to the place of incidence.

I let him pick all the broken bottles first before mopping the floor, along with the wine on the floor, there were drops of blood on the floor.

I looked at him and did not see any reaction from him, he was just looking at me with an indifferent look.

I didn’t say anything, I just returned the mop stick and the packer, then entered the bathroom and brought out a small first aid box and came straight grabbed his hand and applied spirit on it.

“Ouch ouch,”. Why are you applying to much force?”

Maybe because I am angry at you? I wanted to say but I knew I had no right to so I changed the topic, recalling his expression whenever he talks about rogue, I had to ask him.

“Why do you hate rogues?”

I was killing to find out the reason, there must be one, Sophia only could not be why he hated them and as much as I don’t want to admit it, I am one of them but. I can’t see any justice here.

“Rogues are very evil set of people, why do you think they are Rogues? If not because of their iniquity, no one would refer to them as that, They are not worthy of being called wolves, they are only good at disrupting any good around them, I hate them”

Wow, since I was born, I had never seen any one hate rogues like him.

“But not all of them are evil you know, some of them were even forced to bare that name”

I didn’t know when I spoke out loud, but I couldn’t take it back again.

“What do you mean?”

“Here’s the thing, some rogues were falsely accused by their packs and forced out of their home to live in the bush, not everyone could survive alone so they had to live together”

“Then why are they wicked?”

Did he also see me as a wicked person? Since when?

“No one is wicked Xavier, there is a reason for everyone’s action and how it’s perceived by others is where the problem comes”

“Why are you defending them? Oh yes, you are one of them”

I don’t like being called a rogue, but not because of the same reasons as him, he probably thinks I am a criminal.

“Yes, I am one of them that why I know, I was also forced out of my pack you know?”

“What was your crime?”

“My mate”. That was the best answer I could give him.

He handed me a glass of wine and I gladly accepted it, my heart was already heavy and I needed this to settle the burning feeling I was feeling in my heart.

“Actually my mate and my friend, they were my crime, wait it’s actually just my friend, I didn’t choose my mate, but I chose my friend”

“Tell me about it” his voice was no longer as cold as before.

“Kisha Westle”

“Who is that?” My friend dummy, who else do you think, now keep quiet and listen, I gulped another glass of wine then continued.

“Kisha is the daughter of our Beta, I am actually from Silver Pack and I am very close to the Alpha, that’s why I was friends with the Beta’s daughter, we grew up together and did every thing together, we were practically sisters”

“Okay then what happened?”

“Shiii”. I used my hand to cover his annoying mouth that wouldn’t just stop talking.

“I thought you said to talk, do you want to listen at all?”

“More than anything”

“Then keep quiet and listen” He actually did.

“I had finally gotten my mate, you know the whole joy that came with actually meeting the one? I felt all of them, the butterflies, the chill, the overwhelming feeling like someone’s heart would combust due to excitement and longing? Well I felt them all, probably even more

And, and I was eager to live my happily ever after, but one day, I came in and saw them together, Kisha and Creston, they were together in a very awkward position”

It really hurt thinking about it, This is the first time I spoke to anyone since I left, It was hard enough for me to even say those words, tears were already streaming down my eyes,

“They were swallowing each other?” He helped me finish my statement with a question.

I shook my head, it was more than swallowing each other, they practically became one, my mate and best friend, I don’t even know which one was worse, mine or his?

But I welcomed the hand of embrace he gave unto me and cried into his chest, my tears were practically soiling his cloth, but he didn’t say anything, he just hugged me there and let me cry.

There was a strange comfort in his embrace that just made me want to tell him everything, so I did
