His Weak Alpha [MxW]

Worries...

Chapter 20 - Present - Giselle

"Are you feeling better now?" Given Elle a glass of water, Noah asked, sitting down next to her on the couch while his Mate was in an armchair nearby, holding Elle's free hand in an attempt to calm her down faster...

"Yes. Thank you, Noah. I'm sorry to worry you two." Bringing the glass uselessly to her mouth, Giselle eventually stopped the action to apologize to her other Alpha friend... They had been so kind to allow her to stay there for a few days, only for her to cause all that drama.

"You shouldn't say that, Elle. I'm the one who should be apologizing as I shouldn't have pushed you for answers like this." Taking back the cup, he said. "It's just that I know you would just leave Mirror Night if something is wrong or to help a friend as you did for Maria and me."

And soon, like this, the man showed how his words truly meant it as neither he nor Ria thought that she was a disturbance for them while using his Mate's name instead of her nickname as usual in someone's presence.

... Only a few people knew the Vampire woman's real name, most of them being only those to who she was truly closer, such as the two Alphas next to her...

"I'm sorry, Giselle. I didn't think before speaking such things earlier as the only thought that crossed my mind was why Noah didn't notice that unique scent you have now as it was so obvious to me."

The tone of Ria's voice while apologizing was quite different from her normal one, and the presence of the maternal scent she now possessed due to her pregnancy seemed to make it more soothing for the female Alpha.

"I know I should have told you two the truth, but I thought I shouldn't disturb Noah with this today... Or for the next few days until I found the right words to say it to you and Alpha Jordan."

"Jordan? What does Jo have to do with this?" Getting confused by the other woman's explanation, Ria wasted no time asking her further once again... While Noah wanted to know about what had happened between the she-wolf and Aaron and if the Human man was aware that she had left the town.

... But clearly, his questions would only get answers later as Maria had Elle's full attention on her at that very moment...

"I know this is a silly idea. But when I talked to Selie earlier, she said something about finding a Witch to make everything disappear, and then I remembered about Alpha Jordan and the one we met-"

"You thought Winny could help you with that." As Maria finished Giselle's words for her, it didn't take long for Ria and Noah to understand what was going on in the she-wolf's mind. And so, it was understandable the following words the other Werewolf said to her...

"Elle... You can't do this. It would be crazy to try to remove your mating as if it was just a tooth bothering you that you want to remove."

"I couldn't be mated with Aaron, and even our mating was a mistake caused by our bond and the Moon's Pull." Yet, not giving the other two time to comment on this again, the young Alpha soon completed with tears appearing in her eyes. "So, why shouldn't I ask her that? It's better if it stays just as a memory for me instead of ruining everything along with our family."

... Maria didn't know much about the she-wolf's situation as she never told her a lot about it, and Noah wasn't someone who liked to talk about other people's secrets.

However, it didn't mean that the Vampire couldn't figure out what must be going through her mind as she remembered that she had seen that same gaze before...

They reminded Ria of her own Soulmate and all the moments she denied the Werewolf from being with her in the past.

"Are you sure about this? I may not still understand completely well everything about Werewolves as others might imagine, but I know there is nothing more precious to you and your kind than your Mates, and you want to give that up?"

Perhaps if her friend were there, Jordan would say that Ria seemed to have become another woman because of her pregnancy. Yet, her sincerity was real in a mix of emotions that made her see Elle almost as a female version of Noah.

Noah and Ria were so kind to have me in their home, and here I was, creating problems for others... Again.

Again I was a problem that had to be solved, something that would only create chaos if others saw it to the point that I didn't know why I existed anymore.

Confirming to myself again the idea of how it was the better choice I should do for everyone...

… Despite all of my friends’ words…

“I just want a peaceful life… And as much as I want my Mate, I know I will never have it if I try to make him mine as Noah did with you. I’m not brave. I’m not confident. I’m not even know how I’m an Alpha! So how would I be able to have both without long explanations and creepy stares that challenge me to say I'm not lying about this?"

My insecurities seemed to scream inside my mind as I answered Ria's question, but there wasn't much I could do besides agree with them.

"He would never have looked at me if the attraction caused by the Moon hadn't forced him to do so, and without this, I can't even hold his hand without guilt or the fear that someone will catch us at any moment, so I can just let it go away before anyone else finds out about this."

I could feel the tears streaming down my face, yet I didn't care about that while my emotions kept overflowing, upsetting people who had nothing to do with it as I couldn't hold them back anymore.

"I truly wanted to have my Mate; find my other half who completed me so well like our Alphas complete each other. It was everything I could ever want as a child. But this is a dream that doesn't belong to me... I can't handle this burden along with everything else, just to see all the stare on me again when he rejects me."

There was no way I could escape the competition for the Alpha position now, and the least I could do later was to give up on the spot, despite all the gossip I would hear because of that. I could only do my better don't allow it to affect the Alpha couple who believed in me.

So, I definitely wouldn't give them any more topics to talk about me when, unlike Noah, Mirror Night was my home, and I would never leave, no matter how much it might bother me sometimes.

... There was where I was born, grew up, and saw the people I love find their happiness... And where I could only hope to see Eddy find his one day in the future, too, in the place of the pups, I would never have...

Thus, I just wanted the consequences of my foolish actions to go away so I could have my relatively peaceful life back again.

… And it was also what I repeated to Noah and Ria several times that evening.
