Chapter 153: Chapter 153

Aana Pov's

.

"Aana" Aunt Emma's again mindlink me as I didn't respond to her before.

"Aunt" I whimper feeling overwhelmed. Aunt Emma is Ryan's mom who always treated me like her own daughter as Ryan considered me as her sister. After a long time, she mindlink me. After Ryan rescued me from Alexander, I isolated myself and today when I heard her voice again, it filled me with lots of emotion.

"How are you?" I asked with a big smile on my face.

"I didn't mindlink you for having a friendly conversation but to tell you to stay away from my son" My smile vanished upon hearing him.

"Son... You mean Ryan?" I asked to confirm, not able to believe that she is telling me to stay away from my brother.

"Yes... Ryan, my only son. you already snatched Vince from us. Now don't destroy my son's life" I was dumbstruck to say even a word in response.

"You already spoiled his life... Jenny, his love died because of you. I was okay with it till then because I know he was doing his beta duty but now he is destroying his life for you. He is not ready to move on in his life and whenever I force him to see a girl then he always denies saying that he would move on when his sister means you will move on in your life." She muttered frustratingly.

"I" Before I would have told her that I also want Ryan to move on and ask him the same thing, she interrupted me.

"I can't lose him, Aana. I only have Ryan with me after his father's death."

"His father died? What happened to Uncle Steve?" I asked shockingly.

"Done react as if you don't know... He died when Alexander attacked our pack because of you" She growled. I kept my hand on my lips in shock, not able to accommodate the news she gave me. Uncle died because of me.

"Uncle died that day but... B--But Ryan never told me about this" I stuttered and tears streamed down from my eyes.

"What would he tell you? That he lost his father because of your stupid action against Alpha Alexander, who is the strongest werewolf after the king?" I stiffened upon hearing Alexander's name. His name is enough to shiver my soul. I clutched my dress, trying my best not to think about him.

"If you had ignored his misbehaving that day then my mate, Jenny, Vince and many more people would have been alive today" she growled at me in anger. Alice wanted to growl back at her as she is an Alpha who doesn't take disrespect but she didn't say anything to Aunt because of me.

"Jenny's mom is right, you're jinxed who destroys everyone's life. Please... I beg you to leave my son and me. I don't want my son to suffer more because of you. Please" she started crying while saying those words.

"If you ever consider me as your aunt then never come back into our life and also don't stay in contact with Ryan anymore. I beg you... Please"

"you don't have to say please, Aunt but to order me" I muttered and wiped my tears. "I will never talk to Ryan again. My wretchedness will never affect him." I muttered and closed the mindlink. I was blank, not able to process anything, only Aunt's words were roaming in my mind.

"Pearl... Are you okay?" I heard Aaron's voice from outside.

"I'm fine... Just want to have some time alone." I muttered.

"But what happened suddenly?" He asked. After a few minutes, I heard his footsteps going away from the room when I didn't respond to him. Thankfully he understood and left without asking anything. I truly want some time alone.

"Are you okay?" Alice asked me in concern.

"Don't worry... I'm used to it."

"Why did you listen to that bitch allegations silently instead of telling her that it's not you who goes near his son but who always roams around us?" she growled.

"Alice behaves... she is my Aunt and somewhere whatever she said is right. Ryan stopped leaving his life because of me and any mother wouldn't like to see his son in pain. Ryan does all this as a brother and what I'm doing as a sister? letting him destroy his life in the process of healing me." I muttered and lay down on the ground near the door.

"Aunt Emma is not wrong, Alice... I'm jinxed because of me, Ryan's father died." I sobbed, remembering how his father used to treat me like his own daughter. He loved me more than my father.

"many people lost their lives because of me" I whimper. I opened the mindlink when I felt someone trying to contact me.

"What did Mom tell you?" I heard Ryan's voice.

"Answer me, Aana. Your mom told me that my mom mindlinked you. So you better answer me truly what she said to you"

"Truth"

"Huh?"

"Yeah... She told me the truth which you hide from me... The truth is that her mate or say your father, died because of me" He didn't respond to me for a good minute. Maybe trying to process what to say after hiding everything.

"So she told you everything"

"Yes, she did what you should do" I growled.

"Aana"

"What Aana? When were you going to tell me about this and why did you hide this?"

"I didn't tell you because I knew you would start blaming yourself for his death."

"Then what is wrong with it? I'm indeed the reason behind his death" I snarled.

"Stop blaming yourself for what Alexander did. It's not your fault"

"I ruined your life, Ryan." I sobbed, feeling miserable as a sister.

"It's nothing like that, Aana"

"It is like that... First, your father died because of me and then you lose your mate because of me. You lost your loved one because of me and instead of hating me, you're healing me."

"I did all that for my sister and I will keep doing it. I will protect you till my last breath and I will say the same thing again, Aana that nothing happened because of you"

"You are great as a brother Ryan but what am I doing as a sister? I'm destroying your life."

"My mom told you all this, right?" He asked. "I knew it that's why I was stopping her from contacting you" he snarled when I didn't reply to his question.

"She is not wrong, Ryan. Whatever she said is right"

"Aana please calm down" he muttered, guessing where the conversation was going. I sat straight and wiped my tears.

"I promise her to stay away from her son and I will fulfil it" I closed the mindlink and took a deep breath before taking the biggest decision of my life.

"I Aana Scott reject Red pack as an Alpha and break all the link with the pack"

"Aah," I yelped in pain when I felt all the links break from the pack and a tear rolled from my eyes. I wiped my tears and looked towards the sky.

"When will you stop all this suffering? When? I'm tired, moon goddess… I'm tired." Alice whimpered when I said those words. At this moment, if anyone can understand my pain then it's her. She tried to calm me but the pain was too much for me. Aunt's words were roaming in my mind.

"Jenny's mom is right, you're jinxed who destroys everyone's life. Please... I beg you to leave my son and me. I don't want my son to suffer more because of you. Please"

"What would he tell you? That he lost his father because of your stupid action against Alpha Alexander, who is the strongest werewolf after the king?"

.

Alexander was right when he said that I would curse the moment when I slapped him till my last breath. I'm indeed cursing for going against him without thinking about my people and their reaction to my actions. I stood up from the ground and took out the packet of sleeping pills from the medicine box.

"Are you sure you want to take them?" Alice asked in a low tone.

"If I didn't take this then I'm sure I would end up having a panic attack," I replied and lay down on the bed after taking the pill with water. I was staring at the ceiling until my eyelids become heavy and darkness consumed me.

.

I moved on the bed and covered my ear with a pillow when I heard a loud voice near me.

"Who the fuck is singing in a hoarse voice song" I growled and sat straight, only to find Aaron seating beside me gawking at me.

"Don't tell me that terrible voice was yours?" I frowned.

"Terrible... Hoarse… Wow."

"By your expression, I can guess it was you only who "What would he tell you? That he lost his father because of your stupid action against Alpha Alexander, who is the strongest werewolf after the king?" singing" I started laughing when he rolled his eyes.

"Stop laughing... You're insulting a melodious voice" he sneered.

"Melodious voice" I hold my stomach laughing hard. I stopped laughing when he turned his head in another direction. I held his hand and made him look at my side, by keeping the other hand on his right cheek.

"I'm sorry.. if you feel bad" I mumbled and kissed his cheeks. He nodded his head and kissed my forehead.

"Why were you singing?"

"You hadn't eaten anything since morning, that's why I thought to wake you up," he muttered. I nodded my head and turned my head towards the clock. My eyes widen when I realise it's one am the next day. I again slept for more than twelve hours.

"you must have taken the sleeping pill" He muttered under his breath. I look at him, not able to understand what I should tell him and from where to start. There are so many things that I have to tell him but I have no courage to recall any incident without getting panicked.

"It's okay" He muttered and kept his hand on my left cheek. I closed my eyes, feeling his touch when he moved his left thumb over my cheek. It was soothing my inner soul.

"You're looking pale," he said after a while. I opened my eyes and looked at him, only to find his eyes staring at me with love.

"I'm fine... Don't worry" I muttered and kissed the palm of his hand.

"Okay if you're saying that you're fine then I won't argue" I scrunched my eyebrow, not getting what he meant.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing"

"No, say it clearly, Aaron. what did you mean by 'if I'm saying then you won't argue'." I asked.

"I think your hearing acuity has decreased a bit"

"And why do you think that?" I asked, not getting what he is trying to say.

"because you find my melodious voice dissonant" I raised my eyebrow upon hearing him.

"Melodious voice" I repeated his words and tightened my lips, trying my best to control my laughter.

"Today only I found my new talent... I think I should apply for a singing contest" It was the last stop for me to control myself. I burst into laughter.

"What happened? Why are you laughing?" He asked.

"I imagine you singing songs on stage and everyone running here and there to save their life," I cracked up.

"My voice is not that bad."

"Yeah," I tightened my lips, again trying not to laugh.

"You don't have knowledge of music. I sang a melodious song and you like rock music that's why you felt it was bed"

"It was anything but melodious" I again laughed. Tears rolled from my eyes from laughing so hard and in the next minute, I immediately regretted laughing at him. He must have felt bad.

I turned my head towards him, only to find him staring at me with love and a smile on his lips. By seeing his smile, it didn't take me long to understand that he was doing a drama of singing and said his voice is melodious only to make me laugh.

"Moon goddess... What did I do to have a mate like him in this life?" I thought and hugged him tightly, hiding my face in his chest. No matter how terrible my life is, he is the melodious part of it which always soothes, loves and brings a smile to my face. all my pain feels nothing in front of the happiness he gives me.

"I'm blessed to have you, mate"
