His Repudiated Luna

Bombing news

*Adam*

We finally arrived at my office after what seemed like hours of walking with my gaze only fixed at Valerie. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her the whole time, even though it isn’t right and I still couldn’t ignore the feeling of guilt that settled in my guts with the way I treated her during the last days we were together eight years ago.

But then, I had no choice. I didn’t mean to be so heartless towards her and I was too heartbroken when she had refused to stayed back in the pack house under the guise of being my mistress.

That particular day was a day that haunted me ever since then and even till date. If only she knew how much I wanted to protect her. If only I wasn’t left with difficult choices. If only I wasn’t a coward! Then maybe we could still be friends…or even lovers.

“That’s impossible now” a voice reminded and I agreed wryly as my gaze settled on the couple’s entwined hands. They seemed really close and it makes my blood boil but what choice do I have? I’m not even in a position to question her or give her advices as we were just strangers and a one-time acquaintance.

I walked behind my desk and sat comfortably, wheeling my chair to face them, only to see that Kenneth was seated on the comfy chair I designed for the comfort of my legs, right beside me.

“Firstly, I never told you to sit and you still had the guts to seat here and drag seats with my feet?” I asked mockingly and he scoffed.

“Only common sense makes you know the right time to seat and the right time to stay on your feet whenever you visit someone” he replied almost immediately, sarcasm evident in his tone.

“Bloody fool!” I cursed under my breath and immediately offered Valerie a seat. I can’t believe she was actually waiting for me to tell her to take her seat before she did. ‘I brought all this upon myself, so I shouldn’t feel hurt’ I kept on telling myself but deep down I knew how hurt I was.

She took her seat hesitantly and I proceeded by asking her the reason for her visit to the pack.

She pursed her lips, facing Kenneth quickly and he gestures for her to stay calm…right before my own eyes. He stood to leave and I also turned to send a signal to Analisse, but she was nowhere to be found.

I watched her clasp her hands together and I couldn’t help but feel hurt that she couldn’t even talk to me comfortably. It looks as if she’s being forced to talk to me and I didn’t like it.

“Okay… firstly, do you recall our s*x on the night of your coronation?” Valerie suddenly asked and my mouth immediately tasted like ash. Just where the hell is this conversation going? The tension in the room suddenly changed but seeing the worried look on her face, I couldn’t pull off getting straight to the point.

“Yes I do remember”

“She asks as if it’s possible for me to forget such things. How could I forget such a wonderful night?” I wanted to scream but I kept my cool, eager to know what she has come to say.

But when she finally drops the bomb, I couldn’t explain the feeling that rose to my throat.

“I got pregnant due to our unprotected s*x that very day and I bore a set of twins. Jaden and Jordan” she continued and I couldn’t believe my ears.

“You did what?” I found myself asking in disbelief.

“I…I got pregnant and I’ve done a good job taking care of them without you, since I figured you’d reject them anyway” she repeated but the fact that she couldn’t trust me and come back with the proof of her pregnancy which could obviously turn things around at that moment cut me deep through my heart like a piercing dagger.

“Are you serious here?” I asked again as disbelief clouded my mind. My one night with her couldn’t have conceived her, right?”

“I can’t come all the way to Moon Stone Pack only to tell you bunch of lies” she said with a frown. I scanned through her face, seeing the hidden emotion that lies beneath those long lashes and thick brows.

“Then why the hell are you just telling me this? You shouldn’t have kept something so huge from me, Val. You shouldn’t!” I yelled hitting the table hard as I walked away from my desk.

“I’m telling you this now because, you’re the only hope I have left in finding those kids. They got kidnapped yesterday and they weren’t kidnapped by mere humans. I thought you could help me look for them” she mumbled shakily and I felt my anger rush to the surface.

My anger right now was one to kill. The only thing keeping me from doing something utterly stupid was good riddance.

My eyes twitched with fury I couldn’t possibly control.

“I get that things got too awkward between us. I get that I had chosen your friend over you but you still had no rights to keep that news from me” I added in a loud tone and when she glanced up to meet my eyes, I could see the tears that welled up in her beautiful shades.

“You banished me, Adam. You not only chose my friend over me. You took advantage of me and banished me! You practically ruined me, Adam and yes I have all rights to keep the news from you, because from that moment on, I didn’t consider you the father of my children”

“You chased me out of the comfort of my home without caring about what could become of me. You didn’t look back, all you did was sit back here and enjoy your life with Analisse. You have no right to hurt me more than you already did, Adam” she cried and I could swear with my life that I have never been so hurt in my entire life.

Her tears and the bitter facts she believed to be true hurt me beyond imagination. I was speechless and restless at the same time.

It hurts so much to think that the only memory I left for her was the irreparable hurt I had inflicted on her heart eight years ago.

I wish I could just soothe her pain and be left alone to deal with mine, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I wasn’t in the position to do anything to her.

Her cries made me wish I perish into the ground immediately. I wanted to fall to my knees, apologize and ask her to forgive me but I couldn’t.

Hurt, anger and guilt made a good mixture to my emotions and I knew I could erupt anytime soon.

Two more minutes in the room would spell trouble. I took a quick glance at her before heading out immediately.
