Chapter 122: Chapter 122

Daxton's POV

I did everything to protect her, to not lose her but it seemed like my efforts were all done wrong.

I wanted to tell her everything little by little. I don't want to shock her. I don't want to give her all the information at once. She is fragile and I don't want to hurt her so I ended up not telling her everything. I was planning to do so once the thing with the vampires was done. I was planning to do so when the traitor was captured.

I knew how shocked she was when she realized that Astrid University is a school of werewolves. I had my man watching over her at that time. How could she be more shocked when she find out about everything I had done?

It was not a lie when I told her that we have not met before. We have not, she has not seen me even once. I frequently visited her but she had never seen even a shadow of mine during those times.

I have thought of several scenarios of how she would find out about everything. I had prepared for the worst. I had prepared myself in case she knew ahead of time without me telling her first. I had thought of my response in case that thing happened.

I was prepared for it... not until I realised that the scenarios in my head are completely different from reality. When I saw the anger in her eyes as she scanned the things I kept, my mind went blank. I couldn't think of how to respond.

I know that she would be mad. I have considered the probability of her getting mad. However, when reality hits, I can't do anything.

"I'm going home," those were her first words when she found out.

I was scared. Those words scared me big time. She sounded like she was not going to face me after that. She was leaving me, that's what she meant. I clearly understood her in an instant. I waited patiently for us to be together...and she was going to leave me.

I panicked because of those words.

No, please don't leave me. That's what I wanted to say. However, I couldn't do so...I was afraid that she would think that I was manipulating her which is probably what's on her mind now.

"Let us talk about this first. I can't let you go like this," my voice broke. I have never imagined myself begging to anyone. I was full of pride. However, I can't lose her...I am madly in love with her. I'd do anything.

She pushed me away. She looks angrier which makes my thoughts even messy. I couldn't think of things that I should do to make her calm. I couldn't think of the right words to make her stay.

Oh god, I want her to fucking stay. Please let me make her stay. I couldn't afford to lose her. I'll lose myself if I do...because she has been my life ever since I was thirteen. I am fucking crazy for her...and now, she hates me for it.

I went to hug her. I couldn't find the right words so maybe...just maybe she would feel what my heart really wanted to say when we are close. Maybe then, she would understand even a bit.

Fuck it. You know what it fucking hurts? You hugging the woman you cherished the most, yet you could feel that she was drifting away. She was. She was going to leave me. I could feel it. She is drifting away.

No, I can't let her leave.

"No, no..." I hugged her even more, I can't let her leave me. "Let's talk please," I mumbled. I have never sounded that desperate in my entire life.

She pushed me once again. However, this time, I tightened my arms around her. I couldn't let her go. Oh Maive, please don't leave me. I was clinging to her as if my life depended on her because it was. I'd lose everything if I lose her.

"You disgust me."

That was the most painful phrase I have heard. It pierced through my heart. My dreams had all crashed. It killed me.

What kills me more is that she meant it. There are words that you just say when you're angry. However, for her, she really meant it.

Maive, could you take back those words? Maybe, I played my cards really wrong. I had loved you in a way you hated. But please don't say those words... it is killing me.

"Don't fucking come near me again." It was painful, yet it was nothing compared to the statement she had earlier.

I kneeled on my knees, begging her not to. It was the first time I did it, says how desperate I am for her.

However, she turned her back against me. She left me.

I don't know how long I was kneeling alone. All I know is that when I stood back up, I went to order one of our men to take her home. That was, by far, the bravest and painful decision I had.

I thought love was all about being affectionate. I was wrong. Love was learning to let go... and at the age of Twenty, I learned that in a hard way.

I clenched my hands and went into my room as I locked myself inside. I don't want to come out... nor even live in this dark world.

For the first time in so many years, I once again cried my heart out.

Dammit!

"Maiveline... love." I said to myself as if I was hallucinating and seeing her smiling in front of me.

I could even hear people knocking and banging my door, I could hear them yelling my name but I lost it, I lost myself. I feel so dead yet I'm still breathing.

I love her... so much but I have to respect her decision.

I didn't know that my decision of letting her go was the biggest mistake I made when my heart ached all of a sudden, as if a knife stabbed my heart deeply.

"Agh!" I held my heart in pain, and I couldn't candle it anymore as I kneeled on the ground trying to catch some air.

Damn, what is this?

There, realisation hits me when my wolf yelled Maiveline's name. I gathered my strength and stood up on my feet.

"Maive!" I shouted when I felt a very strong aura that I haven't felt before. It was so strong that no creature couldn't have felt it.

I immediately opened the window of my room, and there I saw it.

Everyone in the Kingdom was rattled when they also saw the light coming from the middle of the forest, far from the castle but the light was too visible as it held so much power, it even reached the sky.

There is only one thing I know, that familiar power I once encountered.... When the witches were killed by Maiveline... "Oh no, Maive..."
