Full Moon Curse (by Dream) novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277

I follow Aspen out of the office, wanting to plan out the details, but all that comes out is, “I’m not your cousin.”

She smirks then shrugs, “We grew up like cousins.” She tells me, and I shake my head. “Aspen.” I growl. Griffy.” She growls back in a low voice, mocking me. I roll my eyes. “We need to talk about us.” I tell her, still keeping up with her quick steps.

She throws her head back on a laugh, then looks at me. “You’re serious?” She actually looks surprised, and I nod. “Of course I’m serious. This is driving me crazy.” I tell her and she stops and turns to glare at me. “Have you even tried to make things right?” She asks, me and I don’t answer.

I don’t even know where to begin. Who to start with. She shakes her head, “Exactly. Griff, I care about you, and I always will, but like I told you; I’m not discussing this, until all of that is resolved. Weather or not you decided you didn’t need anyone the last two years, I’ll always need them. We’re family, I’ve never known anything different. We grew up in a loving caring family, and I won’t throw that away just because I chose to be with you. Fix your burnt bridges, then we can discuss if us is even an option.” She growls turning and leaving me stunned in the hallway.

“Where’s Luna Amy?”

“What happened?”

“Did you leave us?”

“Is Griffon still the Alpha?”

TEXI

The questions just keep coming as my dad stands in front of the entire pack. He handles it with one expects less… Not from him.

I swallow my pride, “I don’t want to make excuses, but when my parents left, all I could think about was the safety of this pack. I was zeroing in on it and nothing could change my mind. I know I made some mistakes with some of the ways I went about the changes I made, and for that I am truly sorry. I was wrong and I think even when I was making the mistakes I knew that, but it didn’t matter, because I never wanted what happened to my parents to ever happen again. I know you all see me as a villain, and I honestly understand. But I need you to know, I did it for you. I only wanted all of you to survive, I wanted the witch to never be able to get back in here and destroy anyone else’s lives like she had mine. I want this pack to thrive, and I will do anything I can to make sure that happens. But for those I hurt, or scared, I’m truly sorry.” I tell the crowd, and all I’m meant with is silence.

Until Aspen speaks up, “Is this just because your parents are back or do you actually feel sorry? Do you actually want our forgiveness, or do you just want to make things right with your parents?” She shouts from where she’s standing.

I take a deep breath; she wouldn’t be her if she didn’t do something like this. I honestly should have expected it.

“My parents coming back has opened my eyes, I’m not going to lie, but they aren’t the reason I want your forgiveness. I never realized how much I needed the pack until I pushed everyone away. My best friends… My pack… My family. I’ve never felt so alone, and I told myself it was for the best, because I didn’t need anyone as long as everyone was safe, but it wasn’t true. I need my pack as much as I needed my parents and I think if I would have seen that sooner things would have been different, but I let grieve and pain overshadow everything in my life. I wasn’t ready to become Alpha and the events that led up to me becoming one, just destroyed me. I’m sorry I took it out on you. Because weather or not you forgive me, you’ll always be my pack, weather I’m the Alpha or not.”

Silence.
