Continuation from His Dark Obsession by Moonlight Muse to
His Fated Obsession (Book 2) Chapter 71. There’s Still Hope
CHASYN.
Night has fallen and I’m sitting on the balcony in one of the guest rooms. I have been residing here ever since everything that happened recently, unable to go to the quarters where I had spent time with Maryka.
When I found her and realised she was my mate, I had been tempted to reject her, because of her link to the Night Shade pack as well, although I had no qualm with it, after all, mother was from there, but in truth, I did not want to give up on another… someone I had fallen d*eeply in love with.
But it was never an option I was allowed to even consider. Fated mates were rare and to find mine and consider rejecting them would have been frowned upon and so I had taken her as my own, made her my Luna, marked her, and married her.
But I know she didn’t like my Omegas, and I couldn’t blame her. Any man or woman would feel jealousy if their mates were with other people. Although by then, there had only been one I was addicted to but I had stopped being intimate with her too to keep my mate happy.
I fell in love with Maryka too, and was able to distance myself from Lucia despite loving her. She was always genuine, loving and nurturing and we had similar mentalities regarding most things in life.
Whereas Maryka cared for reputation and status, enjoying talking about the next ball or the power the pack was attaining. Lucia and I would discuss herbs and remedies that were being tested and trialled or even simply laugh over the most mundane of things.
With Maryka there was a bond and pull that I could not defy. Her t*ouch subdued my mind, and she consumed me…
Yet it was Lucia who I would escape to when I wanted to feel at peace.
Lucia… I glance across the balcony. This room gave me the perfect view of the hospital, and the room she’s in. I know it’s why I chose it, even if I pretend it wasn’t.
She doesn’t want to see me, and I cannot blame her… I remember that night, although I never brought it up again, I felt I had used her and also betrayed Maryka… but I had needed comfort that night and like always I had found that in her.
Only I ended up impregnating her… and Maryka had almost k*illed our pup… I want to see her, want to talk to her…
The chances of omegas dying in childbirth are high and I want to take the right measures to prevent that.
I know she doesn’t want to see me, and Evangeline has made it clear that until she wants to see me, I am not to go to her, but tonight I need to see her.
The pain of my broken bond remains but it’ll heal, my Lycan’s pain will heal… but the guilt I feel toward Lucia that is eating up inside of me will not heal unless I go to her and ask for forgiveness.
Ten minutes later, I am waiting outside her room as the nurse goes in to ask if she will see me.
“Alpha Chasyn is outside and wishes to see you.”
Silence… but I can hear her heart thumping, her sweet fresh scent bringing its familiar warmth to me.
“He said it’s entirely your choice, and he will leave if you wish.” The nurse adds.
I did say that, but I wish you’ll give me a chance… She’s silent and I’m about to turn away when she speaks.
“O-ok, allow him in.”
I breathe a quiet sigh of relief as the nurse steps out and tells me to step inside.
“Thank you.” I say to her, closing the door behind me.
The room is bathed in the warm yellow light from the dim lamp beside the bed and she’s leaning against the wall near the open window, a hand on her stomach that curves with the bump of our pup’s current home. She’s gazing out of the gap in the curtains. “Lucia…”
She turns to me slowly, and I see her eyes are glistening with unshed tears.
“Alpha Chasyn.” She replies, as polite as the beautiful omega she was when I first laid eyes on her and knew I wanted her.
I walk over to her, unable to stop myself, although I had promised I would keep my distance. She turns her head away, but I cup her face, gently turning her to face me.
“I’m sorry for the tears I have caused you and the pain… when I came that night-” she pulls away and shakes her head as she turns away.
“You don’t need to explain. I am your omega.”
“You are more than that, and you know it… I was trying to do the right thing by you and to stay faithful to Maryka… but I do not regret what happened. That night was beautiful.” I say quietly. “But I am sorry for hurting you. Please forgive me. Give me one chance to prove myself.”
Her heart is racing as she brushes away her tears.
“Don’t… please don’t say that. There’s nothing to forgive. I am, after all, not your Luna, nor do I deserve your respect or apologies. You are my Alpha.” She says, lowering her head to me.
I reach over and place two f*ingers under her chin, forcing her to lift her head. “I am your
Alpha, and you belong to me, but I came here tonight with the intention of apologising and to ask you to become my Luna. If I mark you, it will strengthen you and prepare you for the birth of our pup.” I say quietly.
She looks up at me in surprise.
“But you’re mated to-”
“A traitor who will be given the death sentence on the next full moon. I have rejected her Lucia. She is no one to me.” I say quietly. “Will you be willing to be a part of my life?”
Her eyes soften as understanding dawns and her heart begins to race as she turns away, gripping the windowsill. The curtains blow in the wind from the open window as her chest heaves.
I can hear the beating heart of our pup, and I step up behind her, wrapping my arms around her from behind, and place my hand on her stomach. She whimpers, her body reacting to my t*ouch as she always does.
“Be my family Lucia… please…” I whisper into her ear before I gently kiss her neck.
Her heart is thumping, and it feels like an eternity as I await her answer, as I caress her stomach, feeling our pup kick strongly.
Then she slowly places her hand on top of mine, and I kiss her neck again, but it’s the single word she says that makes my heart leap with joy that I will never be able to put into words.
“Okay.”
My world has been torn apart, but it has been put together again.
Thank you, I assure you, I will make sure you are given everything you deserve…
She turns her head, and our eyes meet before she turns in my arms, and I cup her face, leaning down, closing what gap is left between us and I kiss her like it’s the very first time…
