Chapter 134: Chapter 134

What is going on? Why am I in Greg's arms and he seems so... Affectionate?

Didn't he hear everything I said? He should hate me and demand that I get down at his feet to beg for his forgiveness but instead, he's got me so desperately that I feel like he doesn't care whether I am and who I am the daughter.

I swallowed before shifting slightly to assess his expression more seriously.

I look up at him and he has a soft and tender face, why?

" Greg?"

" Babe…"

I bite my lip deciding to burst the abscess, I want to know what he thinks of me and why he reacts contrary to what he should.

" Hm... Now you know about me and my membership in the Shield of Rain... Aren't you angry?"

Greg was silent for a moment before I felt fingers gripping my back tightly.

" You don't belong to this pack but to the Soul Moon of which you are the Luna. And to answer your question, I've known for a long time that you had an affinity with this pack even though it wasn't until today that I found out that your mother was the daughter of this man... The woman..."

" The woman who caused so much misfortune to your mother."

I lower my head as I feel Greg jump up and grab my shoulders.

" It is not her fault. She was another unfortunate victim of my father's and your grandfather's choices. She chose to love your father and that caused her death. She is in no way responsible for my mother's death. The only people responsible are…"

" My grandfather and your father."

Greg nodded as I thought back to his words

" So you know about me since... But why didn't you say anything? Members of the Shield of Rain are being hunted, I am…"

" As I told you, you are not one of them. Until a few months ago, you didn't even know about your nature yet why should you suffer a verdict over 19 years old? It's absurd."

I swallowed before nodding my head. Greg has known since but he still loves me, protects me, and cherishes me, what he said in the car last time wasn't just words, he meant it.

I smiled, that emotion of feeling so loved, I don't know how I could have lived in torment for so long when I should have just trusted him and enjoyed his tenderness more fully.

I felt a weight lift from my chest as tears of joy cascaded down my face. All this frustration, this tension, this fear, and this anguish, all these negative feelings that I have dragged around for all this time. I feel free from them and it gives me a certain lightness that pushes me to let go of myself crying like a child.

Greg came to take me in his arms again letting me release all these feelings, finally yes finally I can give myself fully in my love relationship with Greg without being afraid that he will discover the horrible person that I am. I can finally live a life where I no longer lie to him and where I can share information that will help him without fear that he will reject me or kill me.

How good it feels to no longer have to look down when I talk to him lest he realizes my lies. I am finally free from my lies.

I don't know for how long I cried like this, but after a while, my face red and my eyes swollen, I finally calmed down, but continued to hiccup and sniffle because I had cried a lot.

" Do you feel better now?"

Greg asked and handed me a handkerchief as I ungracefully blew my nose but I didn't care about appearances. I cried so much my nostrils were clogged.

Greg waited for me to finish before gently grabbing my shoulder.

" Oh, Greg… I feel so stupid for hiding the truth from you all this time. I was so afraid that you would reject me, that you despise me and hate me that I kept this anguish in me. Now I feel so light... Thank you."

I smiled as Greg stroked my cheek.

" I promised you, I will always take care of you and no matter who I have to fight you will always be my priority. No matter what other people say about you, you will always be right in my eyes."

I chuckled before getting serious again.

" Now... You know. Will you tell your family? To the pack?"

"They don't need to know…"

"But Greg, it's very important... Imagine if my grandfather uses this information to harm you. You have to at least tell Elsa and the others. I feel bad for continuing to hide it from them."

" Baby... You know I trust my family but let's keep it to ourselves anyway for now. I don't want to put you in a delicate situation and also we have to find out who are the vermin who are driving for your grandfather."

"I don't like that you assimilate him to me like that. I prefer that you continue to refer to him as the Alpha of Shield of Rain."

Greg nodded before turning serious again, scaring me slightly.

" A problem Greg?"

I saw him clench his jaw hard as he took my hand interlacing our fingers.

I sense he has another hot topic so I waited.

" baby... Are you hiding anything else from me?"

My heart skipped a beat as I told myself that if he knows about my mom then he must know about my dad. He must have investigated me.

"Did you research me?"

He recoiled in guilt as I smiled. I don't blame him because it allowed me to free myself from my anxiety.

I huffed before standing up and placing myself in front of him.

"I... I hope... You won't find me repulsive."

I bit my lip as I decided to let my alfe side out.
