Heart of Yours

Chapter 37

Samika's POV

I sit at the pond and stare at the moon. I've sent my mother off just in the evening and watched her body go up in flames like the bright orange sky. Her soul might have reached heaven already.

I catch a whiff of his scent and I know he is here. But I don't turn around to look at him. Somehow I can't. Especially not after knowing the fact that he was the one who stabbed my mother.

"I know you hate me but it wasn't intentional, love" he says and I close my eyes for a moment.

Love.

Whenever he called me that, my heart used to skip a beat. But now, I don't know if it still has the same effect on me.

"You know that I wouldn't do it," he says again and I finally turn to look at him.

"This happened in just a day of me leaving this pack for The Madfurs, Devon. Now let's talk about the timing," I say.

I want to believe that Devon wouldn't do that. But our families were somehow rivals even before I was born. His father killed my biological father. That's what he told me.

"I got a scent. Intoxicating. And I couldn't -"

"Was a girl on heat?" I ask him, totally cutting him off.

Scent. Intoxicating. Those are the two words in the werewolf world that describes a she wolf in heat.

"What the f**k! No!" Devon says again and I nod, looking at him again and raising my eyebrow waiting for him to explain.

I don't know why I am still waiting for him to explain though.

"And then it showed me illusions. I saw my father. I thought it was him I was stabbing. Not your mother. But when I came back to my senses, I saw it was your mother. Trust me when I say I didn't mean that, Sam" he says again.

I look at him in the eye wondering if he is telling me the truth. Because his father passed away and it's been a while since that. I killed him. So how am I supposed to believe that he was imagining he was the one killing his father?

Just when I am about to say another word, I catch that one scent I don't want to face right now. Especially not with everything that's happening.

Nyle.

A/N

Sorry for the short updates, you all. Forgive me for this but I promise they'll get longer and better. I am in the middle of a huge change in my life right now. I am moving out of the place I have lived alone until now. All by myself. And it's harder than expected.

If you've been in my place already, do give me tips on how to stop crying. Because that's all I've been doing for a while. The moving out permanently is scheduled in a week and I am a wreck.

Also, write down your opinions and what you think will happen next with Samika and Devon. Thanks. And love ya .
