Chapter 11: His Painful Conclusion

Calgary and I took the trail leading to Zenios. We were pretty much silent the whole trip, but when we were nearing the cemetery and we had a vision of the man who used to beat me up almost every single day, Calgary noticed that I began to feel uncomfortable.

"Are you sure you wanna talk to him? I heard he wasn't nice to you," he asked.

I swallowed the pool of saliva in my mouth when I sensed the underlying concern in his tone. That was new, and I shouldn't have been affected by it, but Auror felt happy that Calgary wasn't that rude to me anymore.

"Yeah. I'm familiar with his ruthless side. It's not like I'd hide behind you if he'd throw me a deadly gaze." I inhaled a deep breath down into my stomach. "Let's just go."

Calgary led the way until we reached Alpha Lawrence. He was sitting in front of my Mom's tomb, staring at the withered flowers lying on her grave while he was holding a half-way done bottle of whiskey. He didn't even bother looking at us, as if he already knew why we were coming to see him.

I cleared my throat. "H--Have you eaten?" I asked.

Alpha Lawrence jug the bottle of liquor in his hand then wiped the stain of whiskey on his lips. "I'm not a baby who still needs to be reminded to eat on time."

His cold behavior made me grit my teeth, but I tried my best to calm my nerves down. "No one is here with you. Nobody prepares your meal--"

"Why do you even care?" His cold rims narrowed at me. "Aren't you happy yet? You're out of here. I can't beat your ass anymore."

My fists clenched on my sides. "I came here only because I know Mom would never want you to starve to death. It's not like I still give a damn about you? You're right. I'm happy that you're no longer my Alpha, but my conscience would never let me sleep at night knowing that the man my mother loved so much is here right now, right in front of her grave, taking in nothing but burning liquor."

God, I didn't plan to cry. I swear, I didn't want to be so emotional, but my tear ducts malfunctioned at the worst possible time.

Calgary inhaled deeply. "I can send some of my Deltas to guard the cemetery while you're with us. You don't have to stay in Claivan for good. You can just come by to eat, shower, and sleep." He offered his hand to Alpha Lawrence. "Come on, mate. We used to be friends."

I stared at Calgary, totally surprised. I didn't know that? What I knew was Alpha Lawrence is ten years older than Calgary and Alpha Quira. I didn't know they used to be friends.

Alpha Lawrence flashed a bitter smirk. "Yeah. Before you chose to betray me, remember?"

I saw how Calgary's jaw clenched. "For the last time, I never lied to you just because I wasn't a real friend."

"You still fucking did!" Alpha Lawrence stood up. "If only you told me where she went, this stupid girl wouldn't have even been born in the first place!"

His words cut deeply through my heart. I knew how much he was blaming me why he didn't end up with my mother, but it wasn't my choice to be born. It wasn't my choice to be his true mate's daughter.

"And if I told you the truth, what would've happened, hmm? Guess what? Nimpha would have had to watch you get killed right before her eyes for breaking the rules of Nirvana. You think she could handle that?" Calgary held Alpha Lawrence by his shirt. "I fucking did you a favor so stop blaming me and everybody else."

He pushed Alpha Lawrence before he grabbed me by my arm and dragged me back to the trail. I looked back and saw Alpha Lawrence cry his heart out while he was hugging my mother's tombstone. It was too painful to watch that as soon as tears began to cloud my eyes, I turned my gaze away from him before I doubled my steps.

Calgary didn't speak and so was I until we reached his house. We both sat on the couch and stared blankly on the wall for a few moments. He then cleared his throat and finally spoke.

"He's a hopeless case. He'll never move on from your mother's death."

I swallowed the lump forming in my throat as pain struck my heart. "As long as I'm breathing, he never will."

"It's not your fault. Even if you will die right in front of Lawrence, his heart will never stop bleeding for his mate." He rested his back on the couch as he let out a sharp sigh. "I can't blame him. They were inseparable back in the days, and your mother was the strongest she-wolf during her time, that's why the news about her losing the fight was a huge shock to almost everyone."

I looked at him. "Do you think Alpha's Luna cheated?"

"Don't think so." His jaw moved as he stared into my eyes. "I have a wild guess, but if I'm right, then that means Lawrence had lost so much more."

My brows furrowed. "Why? What do you think happened on the night of the selection during Mom's time?"

His Adam's apple moved up and down before he breathed out one hell of a heavy breath, as if his own conclusion suffocated his chest. He then rubbed his palm on his face then met my eyes once more, and when I heard his answer, my heart almost stopped from beating.

"There's a possibility that your mother didn't have enough strength to win the fight for the Luna position... because she was already pregnant with you, Nadine. That means there's a chance that you are actually Lawrence's child."

I stared at him for seconds, unable to process his conclusion. When it finally began to sink in to me, I let out an awkward laugh as I stood up.

"Now, you're being ridiculous. How could that heartless man be my real father? My mother kept on reminding me before that I was a product of love."

His expression softened. "If Nimpha told you that, then that means I could be right."

My fists clenched as I started to get irritated with him. "Okay? How so?"

Calgary sighed. "Because Nimpha only loved one man, and that's Lawrence..."

  • Taming The Broken Alpha   Chapter 24

    Chapter 24: More Than EnoughMy body was sore all over because of the training but Calgary's presence helped me heal faster. When Hyrum's men came during dinner to inform us that help had finally arrived and the perimeters were safe, somehow, he felt a sense of relief even for a short while."Would you like some more soup?" I asked Calla while we sit on the table with Ahma, Lynel, Alpha Lawrence, and Calgary.Calla nodded happily. "Thank you, Mommy," she said before giving me a sweet smile.Calgary caressed his daughter's hair before he leaned to me. "We'll just talk about something in my office. Finish your food."I jerked my head in response. When he left with Lynel, Ahma, and Alpha Lawrence, I stood up carrying Calla's bowl to get her more soup, but Lindsey immediately followed me to the table where the caserole was.She crossed her arms and shot up a brow at me. "Getting so comfy playing the fake mommy and wife role, huh?"I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "Not now. I'm too tire

    Chapter 23: A Taste of EuphoriaSomehow, the talk I had with Alpha Lawrence a few days ago, helped us communicate a little better. He no longer avoids me that much, and I could speak to him directly now without feeling aneasy.I took a series of deep breaths to center myself just like what Alpha Lawrence instructed me to do. He was circling around me, holding a silver knife and ready to attack me any moment now."Tracking is more than just following a scent nor listening to your surrounding. It's connecting to everything around you, being one with the ground, the wind, and every living thing that you can reach, but your gift has no use if you're too slow to dodge an attack," said Alpha Lawrence, an in a blink of an eye, we has already behind me, the knife was only half an inch away from my throat.Goodness, he was really fast. No wonder he was known for his combat skills. Now I wanted to think his Luna poisoned him on the night of the selection, because I know for sure that with his s

  • Taming The Broken Alpha   Chapter 22

    Chapter 22: A Painful TalkI didn't know if I was anxious because I would be training with Alpha Lawrence today or I was just worried because Calgary joined his Deltas last night to guard our territories. No matter how many times I rolled over my bed, I couldn't really bring myself to sleep. Maybe I was both anxious and worried, but despite the lack of sleep, I still got up before sunrise to prepare for my first day of training.When I went down to get myself some coffee to wake me up, Alpha Lawrence was already in the kitchen, making himself some brewed coffee. As if he realized that I was planning to get myself some, he cleared his throat and saved a cup for me.I pursed my lips as I walked the length towards the cupboard. My heart was going crazy with the silence enveloping us, and when I finally had the courage to glance his way, I spoke."G--Good morning, Alpha."He paused from taking a sip but he didn't look at me. "Just because we're in Claivan doesn't mean I'll be nice during

    Chapter 21: Her Special Ability"Prudence just lost the last of their best trackers. All we have right now is Hyrum," said Calgary as we gathered at the pack house with Alpha Quira, her Beta, Ariz, Lynel, Alpha Lawrence and Ahma.My fingers clasped. The atmosphere around was too thick, probably because we all know that our District is in so much trouble.Mayhem had no trackers for two decades now while Claivan was never given any. Trackers are special types of wolves who can sense anything even when it was miles away. They were born with the strongest senses. Some show their abilities early like Mom, some were late bloomers.Zenios' tracker was my mother that's why even when she was only a Beta she-wolf back then, she would always work hand in hand with Alpha Lawrence because she was very significant to our pack.I saw Alpha Lawrence straightened his back. "If Nadine was able to sense Luhence while everybody else didn't, maybe that's because she inherited Nimpha's abilities."All eyes

    Chapter 20: A Storm is ComingDried leaves whipped into the foggy air as Calgary and I ran faster through the woods. His wolf kept on challenging Auror, but with us finally gaining back our strength, she showed him we were their equal. Auror jumped over a fallen tree and rolled over the thick bed of dried vegetation before she gained her momentum again, but Calgary's wolf was fast enough to stop Auror from jumping over the cliff.Auror let out a whimper of affection as Calgary's wolf licked her face. She rubbed her head on his neck, gaining more power from the bond we share with our mate. We had been running for hours, but our hunger for freedom felt insatiable. Auror and I had never been permitted to roam around Nirvana this way, but with Calgary accompanying us, we knew we would be safe.Calgary's wolf howled, telling us to finally go back. I felt Auror's desire to ask for a little more time, but when thunders began roaring in the sky, she changed her mind and followed Calgary's wol

    Chapter 19: Meeting His WolfAfter Lynel took Calla to Ahma's house, Calgary and I went out for a walk in the woods. I realized he would explain why his daughter called me 'Mommy', maybe he was thinking that I didn't like it at all.As soon as we got deeper into the woods, I cleared my throat and looked at him. "It's the first time I heard Calla speak."There was a glint of loneliness in his eyes when he met my gaze. "She stopped talking since her mother left us. She was barely four... and that was the worst night of my life not because I just lost my Luna, but because Calla's painful plea for her mother not to go was the last thing we heard from my daughter."I swallowed when my chest felt a different kind of pain, as if Calgary was letting me feel how he felt the night his Luna left to be with someone else. Maybe if I was in his shoes, I wouldn't be able to handle the pain, and I know, even if Calgary wasn't telling me, what his Luna did left a scar in his heart. A fear that no matt
