Chapter 282: Past Continued
VALENCIA’S POV
Past continued~~~~~
I watched the man who looked the strongest yet the loneliest. His shoulders were hunched, and the little vibrant energy I felt radiating from him when he fought for me vanished.
"It’s okay if you don’t want to share it with me," I smiled comfortingly at him.
However, he shook his head at me.
"I want to. It’s good to tell you because I know we won’t meet again and maybe I will feel a little lighter. I have been carrying the burden of this truth for quite some time," he said, wiping his hands before he nodded at me, an indication to follow him.
I stood from the place even when I didn’t want to walk. I understood we needed to keep moving to survive the night. We couldn’t afford to let our scent linger anywhere, and though I didn’t have a scent, the rogues would smell the primary scent of blood that we both were oozing.
"So I rebuked the idea. I started opposing the idea strongly, even going as far as fighting in the household," The man sighed.
I understood where this was going. If he opposed the idea, people would think he was after the position, and that was why he did not allow his parents to pave the way for his brother.
"I know I sounded unreasonable, and my little brother had grown up enough to care for things like the rest of the boys, but I was designed and asked to take care of him all my life. How could I let him get into danger willingly when I knew it might cost his life?" He asked.
He told me how everyone started to get annoyed by him, and at that time, he grew a little close to his brother’s mate, not because he liked her or something, but because she used to come to him to comfort him and make him agree to let his brother take the position.
