Chapter 0042 Alora POV

+25

an... Than...what are you doing? Stop...." My hands are moving too slowly to catch my childhood memories, the things I kept from my parent's house....precious memories from my childhood years I spent loving Than. He s just ripping through box after box, the contents that I can't keep up with being tossed to the floor. My wolf is coming forward, she's trying to warn me but she's still not fully recovered. Why was he in such a blind rage?

Then a thud hits the ground.

My heart skips a beat, panic rises into my chest and restricts my breathing as my old black diary drops to the ground.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

He stops, his eyes focusing on the little black diary laying by his feet.

Who would have kept this?

Why box it up, it would only serve to cause Than pain.

I kept it

it the year everything started to go wrong.

With no parents, no close friends outside of Than's circle that I could talk to, to get advice from. I needed to share my thoughts and fears somewhere.

It's a race between the two of us, me reaching down to get it to try and destroy it somehow and Than bending down to find what was inside.

please no.

"Than please...don't do this..."

He's quicker, the alpha male, built for speed and stamina.

I'm pulling at his arms, trying to reach for the diary in his hand, desperate for him to give it to me.

"Alora...stop." His voice sounding bored of my attempts to recover the diary.

He knows, as do I, that all my attempts at reaching and jumping are in vain. His hand has placed the diary so high up it is completely out of my reach.

He opens it, flicking through the pages until he finds the one thing I wish I had now burnt all those years

ago

But I couldn't seem to bring myself to do it.

It was small, printed instantly on one of those cameras that produce the photo as soon as it is taken. The camera was a birthday present from Than, ironic I used his gift to capture a happy memory that would bring him so much pain. As soon as he sees it, his hazel eyes flash to that of his wolf's and a growl rumbles from his chest. 1/3 Chapter 0042

I'm preparing for him to shout at me, for his jealousy to take over...but it doesn't. He simply places the diary on the dresser side, not reading one page of it, and places the instant snap photograph in his back trouser pocket.

"You said you destroyed all traces of him..." His voice is controlled but there is a bitterness to it that makes me feel I am 16 all over again.

"I did...or I thought I did."

"Cut the crap!" A loud bang resonates the guest room, my body flinches, as his fist slams onto the dresser. The diary being knocked to the floor.

"Give me the photo and I'll destroy it." I place my hand out, my palm faced upwards ready to receive it.

"No need...it wil

.it will serve me a great purpose."

"Purpose? What purpose..."

"You lied to me."

No......

You

I just...you don't understand Than. I meant to destroy it but I never got around to it."

mean you hoped the wolfsbane would make it go away. That you wouldn't need to destroy it because you didn't plan to survive."

Any reply I had I waiting has disappeared at his comment. No words are readily available for me, it's as if I am speechless.

His eyes are cold, this is the first time since I have woken up that he is voicing any sense of anger or hurt for what I did. He's been nothing but kind and understanding in my recovery...patient with me. Even the mate bond is well guarded on his side, not as carefree as it used to be. I know now he has been carefully selecting what emotions he has been releasing out to me.

"It was just one thing...one tiny thing to keep. Is that so wrong...I gave him up.."

"For me?" He cuts me off, his voice shaking with anger.

"You gave him up for me? You are MINE. You've always been mine."

"I know. I am, I am yours. Than please..." I reach for him, my desperation making my own voice crack. My hands snake around his torso, clinging onto him.

He was all I ever wanted, but the moon goddess also sent me another.

Than was days away from turning 18, our mate bond not confirmed. We had such a close bond growing up, how could we not be fated mates.

But another claimed I was his, claimed I belonged to him.

Someone who has never lied to me.
