18 Trinax

I slammed the door shut behind me and stormed down the dimly lit hallways of the healer’s quarters .

But no matter how hard I tried to shake it off , I could still feel it – ‘ the pain .

A raw , searing agony pierced through my heart as if something had been torn away from me .

Every step away from her felt like wading through quicksand .

The urge to turn back , to burst through that door and beg her forgiveness was almost overwhelming .

I clenched my fists , my nails digging into my palms until I felt the sting of my skin breaking .

Damn , the Moon Goddess for creating this weakness .

Rejecting a mate was not a decision to be taken lightly and now I understood why .

I staggered through the corridor , my breath coming in short , painful gasps .

Every time I inhaled , it felt like shards of glass were in my lungs .

“ Why did you do it ? ” Lax howled .

“ Go back to her ! She’s ours ! ”

I ignored him , forcing myself to keep walking .

This was the right thing to do – I repeated the words in my head like an anthem .

The memory of her eyes as I had rejected her haunted me .

She had stared at me in disbelief , pain flashing through her eyes .

She would never know what it means to have responsibilities bigger than your desires .

For me to wield the power of the White Moon Throne , I must have a strong mate by my side .

When I arrived at the reception , I spotted the healer who was in charge of treating her and beckoned on him .

“ Alpha , ” he began “ Is everything alright with the Miss ? ”

I straightened , forcing my features into a mask of indifference .

“ I need you to ensure that she receives the best possible care and recovers properly .

“ Of course , Alpha ! ” he nodded “ I’ll do just that .

But forgive my curiosity , who exactly is the young miss ? I’ve never seen her in our pack and she doesn’t bear our mark .

Fixing him a glare , I coldly stated , “ That’s none of your business , ” I snapped , my tone harsher than I had intended .

The healer flinched and instantly , I regretted my words .

But I couldn’t afford to explain – couldn’t afford to reveal the truth .

“ No ! ” I said tersely , making another attempt to apologize to the healer without saying sorry .

He has always helped to treat me secretly whenever I sustained injuries , I didn’t want my grandfather to know about .

“ She’s not from our pack and her identity is nothing to worry about .

Just treat her secretly until she’s better .
