“You were introduced to our world in the worst way possible.It was his way of making amendments.Besides, his Beta went out of his way to make sure you were taken care of.The house you live in?It was his.He gave it to you.”
“And all that talk about taking me out of the home?Was that the Beta speaking as well?”
“Baby girl...”
“The truth, Tanya.I’m fed up with lies.”
“It wasn’t, okay?We didn’t know what had happened before we arrived.We used to spend our summers here with Nanna, only this year the twins came early, you had already moved into the house next to Nanna’s, and she had already learned about you.We were told to keep our distance, but then the twins smelled you and we did the next best thing, which was to try to bring you out of your shell.”
“Unlock the car, I’m tired,” whispered Freya, closing her eyes.
“Stop running!”shouted Tanya, punching the steering wheel in frustration.“You’re better than this shell!The twins bend over backward to help you heal; you have us now!You’re not alone!”
“What do you know about loneliness?”
“Nothing,” said Tanya bitterly.“I’ve always had my family.And I know that it’s little to no consolation to you, but I also didn’t find my mate.And you know what?For a wolf, it can be lonely not to have your mate with you.But it’s okay, because we have each other.And I really wanted to have you as well.”
Freya lowered her head, hiding behind the thick curtain of hair.She was so, so tired...
“Please unlock the car.”
“Can the twins visit you?”
“I’m not ready.”
“I know.But give yourself some time.You know they’ll always be around you; you’re their better half.”
****
Tanya finally unlockedthe car and Freya left, without saying goodbye.With a sigh, she saw her enter her little house and close the door behind her.The sound of the deadbolts was clearly audible for her heightened sense of hearing.
Pain, betrayal, stubbornness, broken heart ...she could feel these vibrations emanating violently from the young woman, and she couldn't say she blamed her.Shit!
Chapter Thirty-One
The Alpha had forbiddenthem to visit Freya, to enter her house without permission, but wasn’t able to forbid to go to their nanna’s house to try to get a glimpse of her.
