Chapter 225: Kalena’s past 1
(Black wolf tribe)
"I failed" a delicate voice of a female rang inside the room. One could easily detect anger and frustration hidden behind those simple words, "How could this happen....? I have never failed in anything until now.....not even once"
Kalena’s hands curled into fists as her nails dug into her palm and when she released them, traces of blood could be seen.
"Elena!" Heath frowned and hurried towards his mate. He took her hands into his before licking them in hopes of healing them. The very first sight he caught as he entered his mate’s room was Elena’s bloodied hands. His heart ached upon seeing the deep nail marks adorning his mate’s delicate hands, "What made you so angry? Huh? Tell me, Elle" he urged while gazing at her with tearful eyes. He wanted to know what was going on in her mind. What could have possibly happened for her to hurt herself like this?
But the reply he received for his heartfelt concern was his hands getting thrown aside. His mate forcefully shook off his hands that were holding hers as though she was disgusted to touch him. Heath blankly looked at his empty hands that were unlucky enough to get abandoned by his mate and heard her yell, "How many times have I told you to not touch me!?"
"But you are my mate" despairing words left his mouth before he could think. He raised his head and stared at her eyes before adding, "I’m touching my mate....what is wrong with that?"
Kalena smirked, "So you can touch me without my permission? Just because I’m your mate?" the only one she allowed to accompany her after occupying this body was this eagle beastman. And the reason for that was because he was strong, loyal to the body that she was inhabiting, and the less noisy one amongst all of Elena’s mates. She also had to make herself less suspicious to avoid getting caught by Elena’s family and tribe. And she did that by following Elena’s daily life or so she tried as much as she could. Heath was one of the girl’s mates and was the one that seemed less talkative. This much was enough for Kalena to keep him by her side. After all, she hated men who talked too much. They reminded her of Adrian.
This again! Kalena closed her eyes and frowned in displeasure and disappointment. The displeasure due to the man that plagued all of her thoughts, the same man that brought her happiness only to plunge her into sadness in the end, the man who promised he would always stay by her side but abandoned her for another woman. Then came the disappointment. She was disappointed in herself for even thinking about that traitor, liar, and most importantly a murderer. Yes, he was a murderer. The murderer who destroyed and killed her inner self that loved only him which in turn made her an empty shell of the woman that she was now in the present.
"Get out!" Kalena shouted with her eyes still closed and Heath’s face fell due to despair. He tried to talk but no words left his mouth, so all he could do was leave heeding her words. He hoped at least this would make his mate happy. If his presence brought so much distress to his beloved then he didn’t wish to stay there anymore.
