Tia.

 

Caleb finally came to see me. Four days after, Alpha Aesop and Luke visited me. I sat at the back in the garden staring at nothing. I was still processing all Luke said to me and what he revealed as to why they were forcing the union.

 

” You have lost weight, Tia,” Caleb said, sitting next to me, and I had nothing to say. He sighed, stood and began to pace about the garden. He seemed a bit frustrated. I knew he wanted to talk, but I had nothing to say. His mother had ruined my life because she believed I wasn’t good enough for him. It had nothing to do with helping Luke. Luke and I were victims, forced into a loveless marriage to get me out of her son’s hair. The woman was a bitch and selfish.

 

” Why didn’t you tell me Luke came to see you?” Caleb asked me, and I looked at him.

 

” I did not feel it was necessary,” I replied because I knew it wouldn’t have mattered.

 

” We are friends, Tia. Everything is necessary. Everything matters,” He said with concern. He looked stressed out. With the dark circle under his eyes, he wasn’t sleeping.

 

” Help me, Caleb,” I finally broke down, and he looked at me, worried.

 

” If I were Alpha, I would cancel this madness, ” He said, shaking my head.

 

” Your mother set this up,” I said, and he frowned at me.

 

” Luke said it before your father, and he could not deny it. She felt you and I might end up together, and she did not want you marrying from a middle-class family, so she troubled your father to join me with Luke so I would no longer be a problem,” I said, and he shook his head.

 

” That is not true. She knows we are just friends, and there is nothing between us. If I wanted to date you, I would have,” he said, and his words hurt, but they were expected.

 

Please talk to her, Caleb. She is ruining two lives because of her fear—mine and Luke’s. Your brother has someone he loves dearly. It is unfair to both of them. As for me, she condemned me to live a loveless life for the
