346-Done With Her
My hands were holding onto this photo frame of Enya’s family. It was her, her father, and her mother. I heard Enya talk to Maynard and Christina, probably remembering some mem ory, but I couldn’t get my eyes off of her mother’s face.
She seemed too familiar.
‘Laz! What is going on?’ I thought maybe I should ask my wolf.
‘I don’t know. I just feel very weird. It is as if a memory in side you is causing this pain. It is so strong that even I am feeling it.’ Laz answered. I understood it wasn’t him, but something in me felt weird.
‘It just feels weird. As if something— or maybe a memory is trying to wake up,’ Laz explained. I kept staring and staring until I realized where I had seen her.
‘Laz!’ my throat felt dry when making a word. ‘I remember her. She is— she is the one who used to send those cursed potions to my dad to feed me. I remember they used to be so painful. She was so reckless and didn’t even care how her po tions were hurting a little child,’ I yammered everything to Laz while he listened to me silently.
That memory of my childhood is the reason I’d been in pain for so long. After she died, the potions stopped, and I could finally function like a normal Alpha. Maybe not a regu lar, normal alpha, because how do I tell if I even got better or just hid the pain inside and pretended to be fine?
‘She was our mate’s mother?’ Laz seemed shocked, too.
‘She was. She was Enya’s mother. I don’t know what to think anymore.’ I looked at Enya and noticed her looking back
at me.
She looked confused, but she had no idea how I was look ing at her now. In fact, even watching her face was like watch ing her mother. I remember she once came over to our man sion and told my father to keep me in a cage in the basement.
Enya and the others woke me up, but I decided to walk out of the house. I just couldn’t stand there and look at her face. It was like a switch had been turned on in me.
‘I don’t feel very good,’ Laz said. ‘I just feel so lonely,’ he added as I rushed out of the house and sat down in the back
yard instead. I didn’t want them to find me for a few minutes.
‘Her mother did this to me. She ruined my whole life, and all this time, I didn’t even know anything. I kept protecting her daughter like a fool when she had not spared a single mo ment to make me suffer. How the hell did the Moon Goddess even pair us? Did she seriously think I was the right person to take care of Enya and protect her? Why the heck would I pro tect her?’ I was filled inside with rage and anger.
