The King's Return

28| I WANT HER TO BE HAPPY

MIRA'S POV

"I really want to talk to you amor but you have to understand that I'm busy and as soon as I'm free, I will come find you and we can talk about anything that you want us to talk about.

"I promise, okay?"

"It doesn't look like you want to talk to me. Do you know how long I've been looking for you so that I can talk to you?

"It's been more than a week since we talked to each other, you don't come to breakfast anymore and you don't even sleep in our bedroom.

"I don't like what is going on between us and I hate that there's nothing I can do about it. I have to look for you everywhere in order to get a chance to see you and now that I've found you, you don't have time for me.

"I don't even know what's wrong. It also seems like you're angry with me and yet I don't even know the reason.

"I was hoping that you would come and tell me if there's anything that I did to upset you but you're avoiding me instead.

"This lack of communication is creating a rift between us and I'm afraid I might lose you if I don't address it." I can't lose Logan and I will do everything that I can to make sure nothing happens between us.

"You're the only person that I have right now and if I lose you, I'm afraid I won't be able to carry on. I have never loved someone so much in my life and I don't know what will become of me if I lose you and the love that we share."

I remember how I used to think Maya was pathetic to love Julían to the extent that she sometimes looked like she wasn't going to be able to live when he's no longer in her life anymore but it seems I'm just as the same if not more.

I know I can do anything to keep Logan with me and even if I look like a fool while doing so, I don't care, he's my life and more.

"I don't wanna lose you too Amira and I can assure you, you will never lose me. I don't want you to ever feel like you're somehow losing me.

"I know I've been distant lately but that's only because I was busy and I was trying to understand something.

"I haven't solved the problem yet but I can tell you that as soon as I'm done, everything will be fine. I have been trying to help Dmitri with his pack and it seems everything is going well.

"Just give me a couple of days and I will solve everything. There will be no lack of communication after that, I promise." That's what I wanted to hear.

Even though I didn't get as much time as I wanted with him, at least I saw him and spoke with him and that is enough for me, for now at least.

"If you say so. I was just confused about the whole thing and I was asking myself if that's how our relationship is gonna be for the rest of our lives.

"I also didn't like that Alex is always looking for you at the dining table and I didn't even know what to say to him, you know how he is."

Alex is very smart and I was afraid if I lie to him every day that he will get to know everything. He is still a child even though he doesn't want to admit it and he doesn't have to worry about me and his brother.

He deserves to enjoy his life as a kid, just like any normal kid. I know he isn't your typical normal kid but he is still a kid nonetheless and he has to live as one.

"I will join you for dinner tonight and I will try to be there as early as possible. I have to go back to the office, I have a meeting in ten minutes and I have to personally attend it." I just nodded my head in understanding.

"By the way, have you seen Sebastían lately?" He tried to act so casually but I could see that he really needed an answer. I wonder what that fool did this time.

"No, I haven't seen him lately. I last saw him when his brother arrived but I think since Julían left, he's gonna be everywhere.

"Julían wanted him to go back home but Maya and I told him that he's your prisoner so he left him.

"What happened? Has he done something?"

"No, not at all. I have to go, see you later." He left.

I wonder what is going on. Logan may try to hide his emotions from me but I can see that something happened. Sebastían probably did something to upset him.

If he really did something wrong, I pray that Logan doesn't forgive him this time. I hate that I was the one who defended him when Logan wanted to kill him that day.

I thought I was doing the right thing but now I'm regretting my decision. Sebastían doesn't deserve mercy and that is because I know he would never change and if given a chance, he would try to manipulate me into being with him instead of Logan.

I had watched many movies where a guy falls for his best friend and try to guilt-trip her into falling in love with him.

It has happened so many times and it is disgusting. No one is entitled to someone and they always make it seem like the girl only belongs to them and no one else.

I used to think that Sebastían wasn't like that but now I know the truth and I wonder what he has been planning all this while.

being indoors every day is not something he is used to so I know he would use that time to his advantage, and plot his evil plans.

I have to see him and find out what he is planning.

LOGAN'S POV

I was happy to see Amira, the fact that she looked for me even after I've been successfully avoiding her for the past week made me so hopeful.

After what happened last week with Sebastían, I didn't know what to think. The truth was there, they had planned a date together but I wanted everything to be a lie.

I wanted to hear her saying that none of that happened and even if she was lying to me, I would've believed her because that's how much I love and trust her. Or at least, trusted her.

The moment she denied ever seeing Sebastían made everything she said before turn into complete lies.

I couldn't stand there and look at her after that, I wanted to be far away from her. I've learned a lot of self-control these days and I don't want to put that to waste.

I love Amira, I love that woman so much that I can do anything for her. She doesn't have to lie to me to be with Sebastían.

I know they've been through so much together and it is only natural that they would share a special bond after that, I don't have a problem with that.

Amira is my mate but I know I can not force her to be with me, she has a right to choose who she wants to be with.

She loves Sebastían, Sebastían loves her, there is nothing I can do to change that. I have always believed that when you really love a person, the best thing you could do for them is to let them go and allow them to be with the one they want to be with even if it kills you to see them go.

"I was wondering what Jake meant when he said you're killing yourself, you look like your whole world just came crashing down in front of you. What happened?" When did Jake call Connor?

"You know I will not leave this place until you tell me what the problem is. Who has the guts to upset you?"

I know I can't avoid him now that he is here.

"How was your journey? You didn't have to come here, no matter what Jake said. I'm fine."

"You're not fine and you know better than to try and keep things from me. I wouldn't come here if I thought you were okay and I know Jake wouldn't call me if he thought you were going to be fine.

"Now tell me, what's the matter? Did something happen?" He wasn't gonna give up and I know even if lie to him, he won't buy it.

"It's my mate. Everything was going well between us and we almost mated after she told me she was ready for everything.

"After Alex's birthday party, I had to attend something urgent which meant I had to leave her all alone for the whole night.

"I felt guilty and I wanted to talk to her and apologise but it didn't seem like a good idea to talk to her in front of Alex and everyone there while we were having breakfast so I decided to give her space and she seemed like she was upset about something.

"As soon as I was done with my meeting with the Russian Alpha, I wanted to talk to her but she was nowhere to be seen and I later found out she was having a spa day with Sebastían.

"I don't mind that, it is just that she told me she didn't want to be anywhere around him. Everything got so confusing and I didn't want to see her because I didn't want to snap.

"I wanted to believe that she wouldn't cheat on me and that too with that fool, I would've believed anything she said at that time if she came to me and told me nothing of such happened even though I had proof.

"Sebastían is nowhere to be seen and he is still my prisoner, no one has seen him these past few days but he somehow sent flowers and a note to Amira, thanking her for the wonderful date and asking her to come to the mall to see him because he is going back to Spain and he would love to see her before leaving.

"The fool actually went to the extent of asking her if she wanted to go back with him. I knew he loved Amira but I never thought it would go this far." I don't even know what I did to deserve something like this.

"What did your mate say about all this? Did she say if she wanted to go with him?"

"I will never know since I burnt the note and threw away the flowers. I did ask her if she has seen him lately though and she looked me in the eyes and lied to me.

"I know she loves him but I deserved the truth, she denied me of that. If she wants to go back to Spain with him then I will help her, I will make sure that she does."

"Is something wrong with you? Logan, this is not the time to be a gentleman. Don't tell me you're going to help another guy take Amira away from you. What is wrong with you?"

"I want her to be happy okay? If being with Sebastían is what makes her happy, then I will gladly help her."

"Amira is your mate for f**k's sake and I will not sit here and listen to your nonsense, there is no way that fool is going to take what belongs to you and get away with it.

"I will make him regret ever setting his feet in this place. Who does he think he is?"

"There's no need for all that, Connor. Amira wanted Sebastían from day one, I know that and there is no use fighting it.

"You don't have to fight my battles, you know what happened the last time you did something like that."

I know that wasn't necessary but I need to remind him that things could take a wrong turn if he decides to fight my battles.

If I feel like I need to fight, I will gladly do it and I don't need my friends doing the fighting for me.
