Chapter Ninety Two

Chapter Ninety Two

I had visited Nelly’s parents, Thane, by my side; his face was blank of emotions, but I knew it was all a facade.

What exactly did he feel? Did he regret his actions?. I couldn’t tell, yet this had been the same man who killed many with a single care.

Axel had sat beside Nelly’s mother, who sobbed silently, her mate trying her best to comfort her.

I wiped off the tears trailing down my cheeks…

Thane had told me he was going to make sure they never lacked; he did feel guilty for this. Nelly was only twenty–seven, living with her brother, who was one of the pack soldiers, and her mate, who had been sick for years now; that was all I knew about her. I killed her; I caused this.

Lost in thoughts I hadn’t realized Nelly’s mother was walking towards me; I noticed she avoided Thane. I had expected her accusing eyes directed at me, but her eyes were warm, though filled with pain and anger but not directed at me.

“I’ll like to talk to Luna,” she informed the room

What did she want to talk about? Could it be that she knew?…please no.

Yet I rose. “Very well,” I responded, and she led me out of her apartment. We walked down the hallways before she paused.

“I wanted to know… if you knew my daughter Nelly on a more personal level?” she asks.

“Not really, but she is a part of us,” I say like the hypocrite I was. It had only hurt this so much because I had done this.

“She spoke a lot about you–she believes you being with Thane is a complete twist, one wel never expected,” she says with a small smile, lost in memories. “I don’t know how she was ever capable of going against the Alpha King… I fell so disappointed; I had not expected such a thing from a girl like her; she was always so calm

“What if there had been a reason?” I spoke up in the girl’s defense, “What if there is more to this that we both don’t know about? I say you hold onto her memories, the good ones. From the little I know about her, I know she is a good person; whatever her reason might be, we cannot judge her,” I say, and the woman nods; it seemed she had wanted to hear this so desperately.

“I can’t believe she is gone,” she said, sobbing, and I let her cry in my arms. If she knew the truth, she would rather put a knife through her throat than be this close to me.

“Neither can 1,” I say, my voice thick with emotion.

“I want you to know… I don’t blame him,” she says, and I know she was referring to Thane.”
