I and the rest of my men went on their horses ahead.
It was currently dark and I was clouded by the fact I had forced my sister to her own death.
I was torn between being a brother and being an Alpha.
Torn between serving justice and loving his bloodline.
But I knew what was right.
What i had to do.
Still couldn’t shake away the fact that Anna had been so terrible to so many people.
I wanted to know why she had done all the things she had done.
But I knew I would never get a solid answer.
Even if she did give me one, I would never be satisfied.
Because how the hell could she be capable of such things?
It baffled me!
Mother was NEVER like this.
So how was my very own sister molded to be this way?
To hate and despise.
As the cold night breeze went past my body, I wondered if my parents would be proud of me for the decision I made.
I was angry and hurt that Anna had taken away my own child.
I felt betrayed!
She had betrayed her own blood.
For the first time in my life since I had watched my mother die, I felt the tears at the corner of my eyes.
I was an Alpha.
I wasn’t supposed to show such emotion.
So I quickly swallowed and bat my eyelashes over and over just to make the tears disappear.
I turned and looked at Erik wondering how he felt.
He was Anna’s destined mate.
How did he feel that she had now been sent on a death table.
Because she wasn’t going to be killed.
She was going to be kept immortal for a thousand years of torture until she was finally killed.
That meant for the rest of Erik’s life, he would still be mated to her.
Never be able to find another mate until she died.
And Erik was going to die before her.
I started to think of the times Erik had been avoiding Anna.
And the memory of how she had announced that they were mates.
Later discovering that Fiona and Erik was in love.
When the entire time I had thought that Erik was in love with Jasmine.
I shivered at the thought of Erik and Jasmine together.
And I was filled with shame.
To think that I had imagined wrong.
In fact most of my assumptions were always wrong.
I wanted to bury my head in shame.
Erik looked at me and our eyes made contact.
I quickly turned away.
He sighed at me and then drew his horse closer to mine.
He gently nudged my shoulders. "Hey. How are you holding up?"
I gave a light nod. "Fine."
