Chapter 39: Chapter 39

Eric was wrong when he says that I could love freely and move on from the past. A part of me was still stuck there not moping in losing or never having a Mate but for the fact that life wasn't fair for all. Yet we cannot blame life itself as it is also our fault for being selfish.

I stood there as his pack warriors lower the casket down,  Alphas and betas from other packs stood by it. They have come to pay tribute to the warriors and the Alpha of Daluna for their bravery.

Aaron was nowhere in sight even Claire, the fake bitch was busy pretending to be miserable in her room. She wanted to earn everyone's pity and sympathy while deep down inside she wanted Aaron to be there for her, to take another chance.

It must have been so good to have two people fighting over her, it must have been good to her for having a backup happy life-ending.

I watch as one of the elders conclude the sermon than one by one Alphas, Betas, and the attendees left. Lucian came up to me, he and I have finally settled some undisputed business. He was ashamed of things he said and for leaving me behind to die.

"Hey, how are you doing?" Aberdeen hugs me tightly "better" "and Eliz?" I pull away "she's mourning but no worries I'll make sure to cheer her up."

Aberdeen smile lightly "I'm happy for you, always the strongest one," she looks around me

"So how are things with Aaron?"

I knew someone would ask me this question, I was kind of okay with it. I mean Aberdeen is my best friend and I practically told her about me and Aaron when Eric dies plus I know she's only looking out for me.

"I don't know, he told me last week after Eric's death that he needed space so I gave him his space," Aberdeen pulls me in a hug again before pulling away and rushing past me.

I was confused for a moment then I snap my head to where she was heading.

"Oh no," I run after her hoping for Leto to be in sight. I was too late as she was in front of her, pulling her back by the fabric of her black dress aggressively.

"Aberdeen!" I shouted which cause everyone to look at them then at me. I got there and tries to pull her away but she shrugged off my hold.

"Are you happy now" she screams at Claire who is now in Aaron's arms

"Aber," my plead went into silence.

"What now Claire, her mate Eric is dead... What now?" she shouted at her earning a growl from the pack.

"Oh shut all your hoes it's not like she's your true luna. This is all her fault, if you wouldn't run away from him" she pointed to Aaron "she would still have a chance with Eric you sly bitch."

I tried to hold her back but she wouldn't "you won't even let my friend be happy for once, first off you stole her mate. So what you're taking him back, what a nice backup plan" Aberdeen look at Aaron with disappointment who stood by Serena and Claire.

"You know I think Eric was way better than you, he may do wrong, in the end, he did something right" Aaron growl at her.

Aberdeen laughs haughtily "what Aaron did I said something wrong." I refuse to let myself cry in front of all these people

"Aber please stop" I didn't want to ruin this day for everyone who is already mourning. She just ignores me again this time her fingers pointing in the air at him.

"He hurt her, you hurt her and everyone else"

I was growing tired of begging her to stop. So I ended up shouting to no one else

"yes everyone hurts me, except you, Josh and Leto," now I could feel my eyes burning red with tears ready to cry. "Yes I'm hurt by everyone maybe not physically but emotionally you all did" I admitted turning to everyone around us, I didn't care if they did or not.

"Everything hurts yet it doesn't change the fact that I was late and that I couldn't control my fate or their feelings," I tried to hold back the tears still refusing to cry. I have already closed off my mind from Eliz I didn't want her to hurt any further she's already been through a lot.

Losing her soul mate Eric's wolf was hard for her since they both love one another.

"Aaron you ask me to give you space" I could see guilt in his eyes "I guess I'm not giving you one anymore," he looks at me as if he wanted to say something but I cut him off before he does.

"We're done and you're free to be with her again.." I try to hold my voice together "it's not like I expected you to have feelings for me truthfully. Here I am making things right again...things that were in disorder because of some people's selfishness."

I finally took a deep breath my eyes never leaving his

"It's over Aaron, it's done... Now let's all forget the latecomer ever exists" with that I took the only path that I vow not to take.

I ran away from everyone leaving them behind, I ran away from everything, and this time my tears sprung free from my eyes never to be stopped with anyone to see it.
