Killian's Pov What did she just say? I must have heard her wrong.“Say that again Samantha.”Please let it not be true. Please goddess.“Your father killed my parents Killian,” she said calmer this time. “It might have been a long time ago but that's not something any child would forget especially when they witness it with their own eyes.”Goddess…I wanted to sit. The world seemed to be giving way under my feet but I couldn't do that. How long has she had to remain silent, watching my father live his life like nothing happened? How could she endure to be with me knowing what my father did?No, I couldn't sit. Not when she has been going through life with this pain.“It was my sixteenth birthday,” she started in a low voice, her eyes staring into nothing as she got lost in her memories. “We had gone to the woods for a picnic at first, mother has prepared my favorite meals and even baked a blueberry cake. Normally, we would have had the picnic closer to the house but I was going to hav
Samantha's Pov “How dare you?!” Korra screamed after she recovered from the shock.I remained silent, staring at the red shape on her cheek. It's shameful that it'll disappear quickly.She raised her hand to retaliate. “I won't do that if I were you,” I said in a cold tone. “You seem to think that just because we were friends at one point, you can get away with anything. Not only did you insult me, you also insulted my alpha in the presence of your pack members and now you want to hit me?”“You hit me first,” she complained, her hand going back to her side. “That was just a warning. I will do more than that if you insult my alpha again.”She glared at me but wisely stayed quiet. It was obvious that I was right and the crowd supported me.“Don’t get cocky Samantha, I promise you that you'll pay for this insult.”“A slap is the least that you deserve after everything that you did Korra. I can't believe I once considered you as friend. That was in the past, I won't make such a stupid
Samantha's Pov Yesterday was glorious. We didn't do anything apart from pet each other, whispering little reassurances but it was so nice.It wasn't enough to rid me of my guilt, I don't think anything will. It was just enough to make me feel settled.“I am going to talk to Killain today,” Luca said as I got out of the shower. He took the towel from me and began to help dry my hair.“Alright.” I wanted to go with him, I didn't want to be left alone here but that wasn't an option.“What are you going to do in my absence?”“Probably visit some of my favourite spots in this pack while avoiding some people. If I don't feel up to it, I'll just stay here till you return.”He hummed, his fingers running through my hair before giving me back the towel.“I'll try to be fast then,” he placed a kiss on my head and stepped back.Smiling, I turned to look at him. “Alright. Be safe.”“You too little wolf.”My small smile disappeared when he left. Although he was kind and his smiles looked like th
Killain’s PovThere was no urgent need to get up after Samantha's blatant avoidance yesterday. Luckily, there wasn't anything that needed my attention urgently in the pack. So, I did my morning routine and stayed confined in my room.While my alpha had been loud during my short lived fight with Killain, he was silent right now. Had been silent since Samantha decided that she would rather die than remain my mate.I wasn't sure how to interprete it's silence. Was he hurt from the rejection or did he not recognize Samantha as his mate?Did I even want to be her mate when it's obvious that she isn't even trying to choose me? I didn't want to spend the rest of my life playing second fiddle to another alpha.A depressed laugh echoed in my quiet room. I wasn't even sure if I was even an option in her eyes.My heart ached. I was this close to having everything I've ever wanted, so close and now…it seems like I'm back to how things were.A bold knock interrupted my depressed musings.“I don't
Samantha's Pov “I'm also confused. I didn't know this would happen.”He didn't say anything. Just going back to his recent way of staring in silence. He wasn't even staring at me.“Luca please…” I whimpered, “... Say something, shout at me…I'd rather you be angry at me than to shut me out with this silence.”“Will my anger change anything? Would it somehow reverse time and stop you from doing what you did?”No but it'll help me know you're thinking…it will make me feel less alone.I whimpered in reply instead.Here I am unable to endure this after saying I'll do anything to gain his trust. Pathetic. I'm truly pathetic.I slipped from my seat to the floor, bowing before his bed with my forehead to the floor. It was an outdated practice used when speaking to the alpha. “What will you have me do Alpha? What can I do to atone for my sins?”“Get up Samantha.”“Please Alpha.”“Get up and I'll tell you.”I scrambled up to my feet, trying hard not to show my relief. “Seat.” I sat on my ch
Samantha's Pov Luca's hold on me slacken till the point that it's mostly me holding on to him.“How is that possible?” He asked.“Well as you all know, the moon goddess created a special someone for everyone and…”“No, that's not what I'm talking about. How does she have two mates? How is that possible?”“What makes you think that you're her mate Luca?” Killain asked, “You haven't marked her or anything like that.”“Killain stop it. Luca is my mate, he's the one that I chose.”Luca removed my hands from his body with a heavy sigh and stepped back.“Does it matter?”I froze, “what?”“Does it matter if you choose me or not now that you have a mating mark with your mate?”“Why are you saying this?” My chest felt too tight. I blinked and turned to Malikai, refusing to let my tears fall.“I'll do it. I don't care if it hurts, I'll get rid of the mark.”“I'm sorry but it's more complicated than that. You're the omega, for the mark to be properly removed, your alpha has to agree. It's quite
