Mates 33

Chapter 33 11 Chapter 33 FREDA WHITLOCK I opened my eyes and I was in my room. A small sigh escaped my lips as I tried to raise myself to my feet. I was still a little dizzy but I seemed to be more stable on my feet now. I immediately looked around the room as soon as I remembered what had caused me to go unconscious. I forced myself to sit straight in the bed and a pain shot through my hand. It was minuscule compared to the pain I had felt when I fell on the shard of glass. I looked at my hand and saw that it had been wrapped. That meant it had been treated. My nose instantly picked up on Kaiden’s scent. I looked around the room and my eyes caught on him. He was already looking at me and that caused my heart to thud hard in my chest. “Why are you still here?” I voiced the first thought that came to my head. He looked at me and tilted his head to the side before letting out a sigh. “Freda, we need to talk,” he said and I shook my head. I had heard that a thousand times but nothing meaningful had ever come out of the conversation. “For the umpteenth time, I don’t want to talk to you. We have absolutely nothing to talk about. Why don’t you ever understand 0943 1 that?” I said through gritted teeth. He shook his head and walked towards the door and then locked it. My heart dropped to the base of my stomach. What was he doing? What had he just done? “We are going to have an actual conversation on our future and the future of our son,” he said and his words caused a flutter in my belly, in both a good and a bad way.

I wanted to throw up. My wolf was swooning at the way he used ‘our’. I was utterly sick to my stomach. I did not want him mentioning that words, especially when it related to Francisco, because I all truth and honesty, there was no me and him. It was just Francisco and I. Just us. “There is no ‘our’, Kaiden. Please, just leave me alone. Why won’t you let me have some peace of mind?” I asked the question because I actually wanted to know. He had made it a point of duty to make my poor life miserable. “Francisco is our son. He deserves to have a father. What are you going to tell him when he starts asking? How do you think he is going to feel about being lied to this whole time about not having a father?” He asked, completely ignoring the question ! had asked him. He successfully diverted my attention from him and the anguish he was causing me to s new fear that he had unlocked. The thought had come to my mind, but I had refused to 22 20 09.43 entertain it for too long because it made me too sad. 788 Vouchers he ever asked, I was going to tell him he had no father. And I’m sure that he was never going to because I love him enough for two people, more than you ever would,” I spat at him and he seemed to flinch at the harshness of my words. We were already past the point of arguing about who was the father of my son because we both knew. “Look Freda, I know you hate me. I understand it, and I will keep doing all I can to stop you from hating me. But, I need you to know that you have immensely hurt me by keeping my son away from me this whole time,” he said with pain in his was wondering what he had done to deserve it. eyes, like he “I wonder how I was supposed to come back and tell you that I was pregnant with your child when even when I was lying in bed sick, you left me for my sister, the one you loved more,” I said and pain seeped into my voice unpermitted.

I looked away from him as tears filled my eyes. “You don’t understand, Freda. I had to go that night,” he whispered, like he understood my pain. He didn’t, because her was trying to justify what he had done.. “You had to go, just like all the other times,” I said quietly, shaking my head and looking at him with disbelief. He opened his mouth to speak but I beat him to it. “Look, you have a daughter. That’s perfect for you. You even have another child on the way. That’s lovely. Francisco is all I have. Please leave us alone,” I pleaded with him with my whole heart. If he wanted me to get on his knees, to grovel at his feet so he would leave my son and I alone, I was going to. Just this once. 11 He seemed to be in thought, to be considering it and I anticipated that for the first time, he would do something that made me happy. He bit his lip and then shook his head almost sadly. “I’m sorry, Freda, but I can’t do that to him, to myself. I want to make up for he six years that I was not with him. I want to catch up with him. I want to be there for him. If you’re not going to let me willingly, I will have to force myself in.” He said with a tone of finality and my heart dropped and shattered in my chest. Tears filled my eyes as he got to his feet and headed towards the door. He had taken every single thing from me. He was going to take my son too. And there was nothing I could do in the end, because he was the Alpha and I was nobody to him. I glared at him with pain and tears in my eyes as he left the room. I was weak to fight against him. But I didn’t have to fight, could run. My heart tore apart with pain, because I was having to consider running away again despite having promised Lyra that I was not going to. I hated myself. The heavens knew I did. But if was not my fault. It really wasn’t.
