They Called Me Heartless So Reborn I Watched Them Self Destruct novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180: 180- An Alpha

Arabella:

“No. You’re not going to that pack!” Maya declared, leaving no room for argument. I’d barely finished telling her about my plans when she started arguing.

I knew she was already pissed at me for ignoring her calls yesterday. I’d apologized twice since entering her room, but apparently, that wasn’t enough.

Thank the Goddess, I hadn’t told her about my meeting with the Queen. If she found out I’d willingly agreed to another magical oath, she’d probably kill me herself.

“Maya, I’m only going there for a visit. It’s not like I’m planning to move back.”

“Why would you even want to visit those people?” she demanded, throwing her hands up. “Have you forgotten what they did to you? And now you suddenly want to see them?”

“Of course I haven’t forgotten. I just have a few things to discuss with them. It’s something… personal.”

Maya gave me an offended look. “Oh, so now we’re keeping secrets from each other?”

I reached for her hand and gently pulled her down beside me. “Maya, please. I’ll be fine. You don’t have to worry so much. I’ll try to take Bradley with me.”

“Bradley?” She immediately pulled her hand away. “That bastard who yelled at you? Absolutely not! And why do you even need to go there? Why can’t you call them here instead of going back to that horrible place?”

“I can’t call them here, Maya. And Bradley knows how to protect someone.”

“I don’t care! I’m not trusting him with you.”

I tried reasoning with her, but she wouldn’t listen. She went on about all the terrible things that could happen if I returned to Blackthorn.

Goddess. How was I supposed to explain this to her? I watched her mouth moving as she continued listing all the reasons why my plan was terrible. Every time I tried to interrupt, she came up with another one.

Finally, I let out a long breath before getting to my feet, and placed both hands on her shoulders. “Listen, Maya. I’ve made up my mind. I’m going, and that’s final.” She stopped talking and gave me an odd look.

“What?” I asked.

“Your eyes…” she whispered. “They just turned silver! Just like that day when you got your period.” I quickly released her shoulders.

“Yeah, I … I’m getting my wolf back. Sometimes… it talks to me…” Maya blinked before letting out a short laugh as though she couldn’t believe what she’d just heard.

“Wow. Just wow, Arabella! And you didn’t even think to tell me?”

“Maya, I was going to tell you. I just…” Now it was getting messier.

“That’s wonderful. Really wonderful.” She turned around and marched toward her closet. I watched in confusion as she pulled out a small suitcase and dropped it onto her bed.

“What are you doing?” I asked her when she began stuffing clothes into it.

“Packing. What does it look like?” She snapped, not even bothering to look at me.

“But why?”

“Because apparently, you don’t need to tell me anything anymore!” She yanked open a drawer and grabbed a few shirts. “You make plans without me, ignore my calls, and now I find out your wolf is coming back! What’s next, Arabella?”

“Maya, it’s not like that. Would you please listen to me?” But she was already pulling more clothes from the closet.

I followed her and took the clothes out of her hands. “Will you stop for one minute? I’m trying to explain something!”

“Then explain!” she snapped. “Because I’m tired of feeling like a stranger in your life, Ara!”

This whole argument had started giving me a headache. Before I could answer her, Astraea suddenly spoke inside my head. “She is overreacting, Arabella. Let her go.”

“I said let her go. We have more important things to do.” I stood there, still holding Maya’s clothes.

“Astraea. She is my friend, and I can’t abandon her.”

Miss Arabella? Such a crybaby he is.
