The Female Alpha’s Sanctuary

Chapter 97
“That was… it was all in the past. We can move on from that.”
He reasoned, his voice weak and almost pleading. I rolled my eyes and shook my head at his audacity.
“There’s nothing to move on from. I’m pretty sure I made this clear.”
A hurricane of footsteps were heading our direction. Soon three people came into view and they were none of there than my sister, mother and father. All of which were panting and sweating from looking for him. My eyes shifted to them and I could see the surprise in their faces. My mother looked at me like I was some ghost, her shaking hand covering her mouth as she openly stared at me. Hestia who stood in front of them looked at me with remorse. So much remorse it almost made me laugh.
Benicio who’d been the one to stay hardened, now stared quietly in the sides. Nothing to say or do. Once my study of them ended, I looked back to Landon.
“You and I are nothing. We were nothing since the moment we found out we were mates. We were nothing since I supposedly died. We were nothing when I came back from the grave and took my place as Alpha. We are nothing, Landon. That’s all we’ll ever be. So do us both a favor and quit your nonsense. It’s getting quite annoying.”
I watch his face twist in agony. His adam’s apple bobbing as he took in my words and looked to the ground. The face that was responsible for so much of my pain now mirroring a tenth of the pain f felt. But was it enough? No. Did I feel the tiniest bit guilty? No.
“It was a mistake.”
He mutters lowly.
“The rejection was a mistake.”
His words leave a haunting echo in my mind. The words I never thought I’d hear from him. I laugh, throwing my head back as the four stared at me. They didn’t understand what I found funny about this situation. If anything, they expected me to feel sorrow and pity for him. Pity that I didn’t owe him. Tilting my head to the side I nodded in agreement.
“Yes, it was a mistake. The bond was a mistake. You said it yourself, Landon. The Moon Goddess made a mistake of pairing us together.”
His dark eyes flashed with outrage as his temper flared. His wolf unhappy with my denial of our bond. The denial of our bond seen as a gesture of disrespect toward him.
