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.
