Chapter 140: Chapter 140
“What happened? What’s the update?” Ethlyn asked, trying to hide her excitement, but she failed miserably. To be honest, the moment Calvin had apologized to her, she wanted to forgive him then and there and wanted to reveal that she was faking her memory loss, but Caroline had assured her that if she would have some patience, then she would get both Cinder and what she desired.
“Ah!! Someone is so excited.” Reva teased, walking inside her room.
“Reva….”
“Hold on!! Act like you don’t remember anything, or you might get caught because the whole pack is not included in this plan.” Reva warned. “And only Moon Goddess knows about Alpha’s mood; it flips any moment into one eighty degrees.” She added with a tense look.
“What happened? Did he do anything?” Ethlyn asked.
“No. Nothing. At least not now.” Reva replied, shaking her head. “May I ask you something?”
“Yeah! Sure.”
“If you will have to choose between Alpha Calvin and Nathan, then whom will you choose? Ignore the part that Alpha Calvin is your daughter’s father.”
“Comparing Alpha Calvin with Nathan is so wrong. Nathan and I had spent our childhood together and had watched each other growing older still…. Still, I can’t forget what he did to me on my pup’s gender revelation day. On the other side, Alpha Calvin barely knows me… still he can’t do the same to me. That day, when I beat the shit out of that witch, he could have raised his hand at me in anger. After all, by then, he was assuming she was his fated mate.”
“I’m not praising Alpha Calvin for this, but that man has insulted me multiple times either because of anger or misunderstanding, but never did he allow anyone else to insult me.” Ethlyn pointed out.
“But he shouldn’t insult you at all,” Reva said, to which Ethlyn didn’t say anything. “Anyways, I won’t speak in that matter. Can you point out something better? Because from the point where I’m watching everything, they both hurt you. The difference is one hurt you a little more, and one hurt you a little less.”
“Ah! In that way…. Alpha Calvin didn’t hide anything from me. He hurt me by telling me the truth but Nathan… Nathan spent a night with someone else and didn’t care to tell me about it, even when we were together. Most importantly, Reva, Alpha Calvin apologized to me when he realized that he hurted me. On the other side, Nathan knew he did wrong but never…. Never did he agree that he wasn’t a saint either.”
“Saying “I'm sorry” actually shows strength, not weakness. A person who can apologize—and truly mean it—is self-aware.” Ethlyn said. “We can't grow unless we fail.”
“And now that I know the truth. I don’t think SORRY will work in Nathan’s case. Because Sorry works only when a mistake is made, but not when trust is broken.”
“Hmm. That’s the point.” Reva said and forwarded a book toward her. “Here. Just like you had asked, a book to kill your time here in the hospital.”
Ethlyn grabbed the book and saw its thickness before opening it. “Are you sure that you want to resume your studies?” Reva asked.
“Yes!!” Ethlyn nodded her head. “I don’t want to be a warrior, so it will be better that I will do something that I like instead of staying useless.” She mumbled with a frown and also because she wanted to make her father proud.
“All the best then!!”
“Yeah! Thanks.”
