Alpha's Redemption chapter 123

Macey POV

My head was swimming. I couldn't bring myself to tell them about Carter being my mate. I wanted nothing to do with the vile man that would allow the woman I considered to be my sister to be violated the way she was. Yet shame coursed through me.

I felt like I didn't deserve to be around her after what my mate had done to her. Was I cursed when it came to men? Am I the bad omen for my girls? I was seriously considering it because unless Tatum marked me. I was as good as dead once I rejected Carter, and my mate ruined Zoe's life, and his father was responsible for killing Everly's mother and my mate by kidnapping her sister.

However, Carter being my mate, left multiple additional issues because I will be rejecting him, but then what will happen with Taylor? Who would look after her and love her the way I do? My mum was getting old, plus she had my brother and his mate living with her, and as much as I love my brother, he wasn't exactly a good role model.

After showering and checking in with Kalen and the kids, I headed to see Tatum. At the moment, he was the only good thing going in my life other than Taylor. Because everything felt like it was falling into tatters, and I had no idea how to come back from this, I saw the hell Everly went through without Valen. Saw how Kalen's rejection killed Valarie, so what would me rejecting Carter do? what would be the consequence of that?. ’

Walking down the corridor to his ward, I stopped and spoke with his physio lady. Her name was Tracey, and she was the one helping us get him back on his feet, she warned me he was in a mood before I left her going to find his room. I knew something was wrong before

I even opened the door. I could hear him cursing and heard glass break as he tossed something. 1

Pushing the door open, I found Tatum on the ground, his crutches by the bed.

Stupid fucking leg!" He curses with a growl. Immediately I rushed to his side, gripping under his arms to help pull him.

Why didn't you use the crutches?" I asked him when he pushed me away, forcing me to drop him. He grunts, G;\oK3Q I move to help him again when he snarls at me.

"Just fucking leave me, Macey, stop fucking mothering me," he snaps. I roll my eyes. I had put up with his pity parties before, only this time when I ignored him and retrieved the wheelchair pushing beside him. He growled angrily at me and punched it.

"Just fuck off. For once in your God damn life, Macey, stop trying to fix everything," he snaps. I go-to reply when he holds up a hand, cutting me off.

"Don't! I am fucking sick of it. I am useless, and I don't want you feeling sorry for me,"

"I don't feel sorry for you. You'll be fine. Tracey said you did great today. It's only a matter of time, and soon you'll be walking around," I tell him, trying to lift his mood.

"Want the crutches instead?" I ask him, moving to retrieve them.

"Get out!" Tatum snarls at me, and I freeze, glancing at him over my shoulder.

"Pardon?"

"You just can't help yourself. Always gotta try to fix everything. My leg is fucked, Macey. It ain't getting any better, and I am sick of you telling me it will, so just get out. This isn't going to work," he says, turning to look away.
