Chapter 15 Favorable Choices

The big white spol of light coming from the flashlight lit the way. Here we were, walking back out into

the woods, into a secluded area that was reserved for the Head Gamma. It was where my father and I

resided before he passed away and I was taken to the mansion to live the rest of mi y days, serving the

pack. I was forbiddent o return to our house, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to, the place was too special

for me.

I hadn’t seen it for two years, and with every step we took, we were getting closer to it. I prepared

myself for this day but knowing I’d have to face the past as soon as I step foot inside the house made

an uneasy feeling rise in my stomach. In a way, I was glad I didn’t have to do it alone; my best friend

was with me

Unsure of what we were after that day, I almost cried when he called me his best friend. I held back the

tears because he was the crybaby, not me. Though there wasn’t a single trace of the crybaby I knew in

him. I guess we all changed over

Friends – Flynn, Carson, and L. Even when Flynn anuliwete dating the three fus still hang out, almost

Carson walked beside me, with Alphu. Llam 1 pood five meters behind is for some privacy. I didn’t trust

him. He could easily eve drop an cuir Conversation. He agreed to let my best friend speak to meo n the

condition that we were within sight, and to my surprise, Carson didn’t. protest. He admitted it was

Carson who told him about that nasty torture shack, growling as he did.

None of us wanted to have to walk past the mating werewolves so Alpha Liam had this crazy idea on

how to sneak out of the mansion. We were on the fourth floor, where the guest rooms for his pack

were, and he wanted us to jump out of the window. Again, Carson was on board with the idea. We

would immediately be at the back of the mansion where no one would See us, and we didn’t have to

witness the Sume scenes.

Never had I thought about jumping out of

hadi thought about jumping out of a building before but at that paint, 1d Father jump. I thought I’d jump

and get caught by one of them, but Alpha Liam was shaky. Channeling his wolf’s mercy, he carried me

in his arms again, then jump.

It was scary VCE exhilarating, and it was impressive to see him do such a feat. Of Course, I wouldn’t

tell him I merely rolla my eyes at his handsome smirking face, saying Carson did the same thing

Hffortlessly.

I was yet to accept that a wall-less Werewolf’ such as he was actually given a mate. I guess the

Goddess was listening

The plan was to escape with iny mate, La use him so I could finally leave the pack. I I he was loving

and caring, I’d stay with him. Once I wasn’t with the pack anymore, I’d decided that I’d live any life t o

the fullest. If my fated mate would accept a failure like me, then I would faithfully stay beside him.

That was the plan! I didn’t know what I should do now. The promise was about to be fulfilled and I

would finally leave, but i [I went with Alpha Liam, would it be the

“I’m going to miss you around here, Carson said, and it made me want to happily squeal.

“I’m going to miss you, lo!” Ichirped. A little too loud, and Alpha Liam growled.

I’m sorry it had to be this way,” he said. “But I think you leaving would be best for Everyone here.

Ouch. The pack really wanted me gone.

#They’d get what they always wanted, and you could finally be happy,” he continued. And sale.”

I’m leaving after this. The pack won’t cen notice I was gone,” I replied nonchalantly. They treated me as

an outsider anyway so there was no point in staying, but it still hurt to think that at one point in my life, I

would’ve done anything for them. “I’ll be happy… and safe. I’m thinking of living with the humans. They

don’t seem to be so bad.”

rumors and fantasy. So, even if I was cooped up in the kitchen or the laundry roon on most days, I was

still updated on matters regarding the pack.

“What about your mate? I doubt he’d let you do that

“I don’t know. I guess I need more time t o think about it,” I said, wanting to cul the conversation short

but he wouldn’t let it

“He was worried you won’t so with him, You should’ve seen his face when he realized you were gone.”

He flashed me a knowing grin, and it made my heart skip a beat, from the curse or the bond, I

couldn’t tell.

“I guess he would be,” I simply said.

“Please go with him,” he said, stopping i in his tracks and facing me. “I can’t… I

I raised my hand to the base of my neck, t o clutch at the vial, but my hand wrapped around nothing.

An old habit, whenever I Talked about him, I could never rid of it and now it meant more to me than it

did before. I had to get it back

I resumed to walk, and he followed suit.

“Please think about it, Bella,” he pleaded.

“Why are you taking his side?

A my best friend, he should be siding with me. But he kept sticking out for Alpha Llam instead. Why

“House I’m a selfish prick,” he said. “I won’t be able to forgive myself if I let you go without knowing if

I held his hand and closed the space between our sides, ignoring the intense aura from behind that

knees but I wanted to do this.

He was like a brother to me. It was difficult for him to admit what he just did, I knew, and this was our

way of comforting each other – I hadn’t forgotten.

“Stop that.” His shoulders dropped and his voice was pained. Unlike before, it sounded more like a plea

than an order. Is he actually sulking?
