The Rebellious Alpha novel Chapter 79

"Why do you love it so much?" She asked by my side.

"It helps dampen the voices in my head." I responded, my gaze still on it.

"Voices that try to judge me, to make me angry, act reckless and stupid."

"Well you don't need it now." She retrieved the pack of cigarettes off my hand. Staring at it for minutes while I wondered what she was entertaining in mind.

"I'm here for you now." She finally said with a bright smile.

I frowned.

"Does this mean you've accepted me?"

She looked down to my right hand before holding it in her left. Gripping me firm and gentle.

"Yes."

My eyes exclaimed as a smile crept on my face and in a flash, our lips bonded. It was my first, one I would never forget. The bright sun, the trees that danced afar off, the river that toured below us, the subtle wind and above all, the exciting sparks and tastiness of her lips.

******

Tears dropped freely from my eyes as I let the cigarette and alcohol go. Why did the moon goddess have to give me this wild destiny?

Why did the Lycan had to be her Father? Why?!

Those were the questions that kept on raging in my head as I stood there. Like a statue, till the evening dawned, till the rain started to pour.

Nevertheless, I remained adamant in my stance. Hoping that all these was just a horrible nightmare. But it wasn't, I have been pinching myself for days now.

Suddenly the rain stopped drenching my clothes, Not that it had stopped but there was an umbrella over me. And my Mother had joined me by my side.

"Now I don't too."

We spent the next few minutes in silence again.

"For twenty years, all I ever wanted is to kill the Lycan but life had other plans for me. The Lycan's head is still in place and his daughter is my mate. How could I possibly have revenge now? Even if I decide to kill him, what would I gain? My pain wouldn't vanish nor will my father return from the dead."

"Nothing Kevin." She answered. "You'll gain nothing but more anguish and guilt. And it will slowly eat you up, till you fade away."

"So what should I do?" I asked as I held her gaze with my teary eyes. She smiled and in a way it comforted me to a point.

"Forgiveness. No one is above mistakes. Forgive the Lycan, forgive yourself and all those demons haunting you will fade away. That young, vibrant and innocent Kevin that I once knew will return. Forget everything and move on. Get your mate back, be the Alpha you are and the Wolf of Justice you're destined to be." I didn't even know when my body had acted, all I knew was, I embraced my mother. Her warmth was all I needed at this point.

She was right, I needed to move on and stop reveling in the past that brought nothing but pain. It was the only way to be the best version of myself. To be that young Kevin who was so full of life.
