Chapter 129: First encounter
"Scarlet, I promise to find us a way tomorrow. Just bear with me for a while," he kept on pleading, moving closer to her, in an attempt to calm her down.
"I am unable to think properly, what if something went wrong? You know how hard it was for us to get here. With Aurora unconscious, how much can Damien do?" Throwing her hands up in the air, she began panicking, imagining different scenarios in her head.
Grabbing her shoulder, he made her stare into his eyes, making sure to grab her attention, "Do you trust me?" He asked.
"I...I lost the most precious person to me because of you, I am not sure I can trust you when it concerns a life," she replied, hurting Enoch in the process.
His heart broke from hearing her say so because she was right. He was the cause of her pain, and it was selfish to ask her to trust him.
"Then would you trust Aurora? Trust that your friend is alive somewhere, waiting for you?" Changing the perspective, he asked.
"I do," she immediately answered and Enoch sighed in relief. Letting go of her shoulder, he walked toward the door and said, "Stay here, I will be back." And left the room, leaving her mouth that was about to question him, hanging in the air.
Shutting it, she ran her hands through her hair tiredly and walked up to the window, staring out at the full moon. Remembering how devastated she was when she lost the most precious person to her, she couldn’t help wondering if things would have been different if Enoch paid more attention to her.
"I tried for us, Enoch, I did." She absent-mindedly said, unaware of the return of someone in the room.
Suddenly, she felt strong hands wrapped around her waist, a familiar scent filling her nose. Surprised, she froze not knowing how to react to the sudden back hug.
"I know you did Scarlet, which is why I am unable to forget about you. Five years away from you was torture, my wolf would run mad every full moon because it needed its mate. I could only think about you to ease the pain," he confessed, rubbing his head against her neck like a baby in need of his mother.
