Chapter 43

Miguel's POV

I felt hands shaking me, opening my eyes, I was met with three identical pairs of blue eyes.

"What's the matter Miguel?"

Damien asked with a concerned look on his face.

"who's Mond?"

His questions made me recall the dream I had earlier, I sobbed into his clothes, clutching the material tightly.

I can't believe he's gone, he died just because of me, if he hadn't met me he would still have been alive this instant.

He died to save me from a life he knows is worst than death, a life I was thankfully saved from. 

"He's dead, he's dead, he's dead,"  I kept repeating those words as I sobbed into his chest.

I felt his hands roaming soothingly on my back."it's alright Miguel, it's alright. You're save, he won't get to  you again, we made sure of that." he consoles.

He must have thought I was talking about the Alpha who kidnapped me, to hell with the tears I will shed for that monster.

He's not worthy of a tear from me,not even a single drop of stray tears.

"It's okay,"I  heard Daniel and Donald say the same time Damien said it, it was as if they planned to say it together.

"I can't believe he's dead."  he's a fighter, he can't give up that easily. I tried to console myself with the notion he night be out there looking for me, but I know it isn't possible.

I saw him die in my presence, it's not possible for him to be alive except by magical intervention.

"Yeah he's dead, that's what suit him. He should have seen it coming the moment he thought to touch you," Donald seethed in anger. 

I raised my head at his words "he didn't deserve to die like a fowl, he deserves so much more." I can't believe they think that of Mond.

Mond who without his help I wouldn't be alive, he saved me during my attack.

Without him there, it would have been a story for another day.

"Why did you say that?" Even without looking at their faces, I can sense their confusions on that notion.

"Why do you believe he didn't deserve to die?"

" Mond deserves so much better than to die without feeling the joy of a lover's kiss. He died before he could see his brother for the final time. He died saving me, he died so I can live. Tell me why I shouldn't think he didn't deserve to die?"

I sobbed the more, thinking about his unfulfilled dreams leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

I stole everything from him, without me he would have been in his home thinking of the day he will reunite with his brother.

"Who's Mond?" Daniel asked, 

I glared at him "he's no more, stop making use of is before you start giving me ideas on a thing that isn't there. I don't want you to give me hope in a hopeless situation,it wouldn't profit me anything, if my hopes gets dashed when reality comes knocking on my door."

It's not their fault he's dead, but I can't help taking out my frustrations in them since they're the ones unlucky enough to be with me on my waking hour.

"Okay, who was Mond?" this time it was Donald that asked the question.

Looking at the triplets one might think they haven't gotten any sleep based on the bags under their eyes because they were worried about me, but I know better than to believe on those fallacies.

"He was the person that saved me when I escaped from my kidnappers, without him I wouldn't be here now. I would have died long before you three could have rescued me."

I wasn't trying to make his deeds heroic or whatever you think am trying to do.

"How so?" Damien was the one that asked this time around "how did you meet him?" 

"I met him when I escaped from my kidnappers."

I narrated the tale of how I escaped the first time, how Bulky and his men chased after me, and how I met Mond.

"You took food from a total stranger?" Donald asked "don't you think something's fishy there? how did he manage to have food in the middle of nowhere almost the same time you escaped from your pursuers?" he shook his head "something's really fishy." 

I wish i had the mentality and brain Donald possess.

if I had a wise mind like he does, I wouldn't have failed the first time I was tempted.

I nodded "you're not all that far from the truth."

continuing from where I stopped, I narrated to them how I was captured by bulky and his men.

"I said it, that Mond guy's tale was so shallow even a kidd can see how sneaky his tales were," Damien said.

" Will you allow me to finish the tale or not?"

I swear this three guys gets on my nerves.

They nodded in agreement.

I cleared my throat as I started from where I stopped to my last capture before I was rescued.

The triplets had a murderous look on their faces after I was through with my tale.

"if it's possible I would have killed Alpha Dess three more times before his final death," Damien paced to floor in anger.

Daniel and Donald weren't far from doing exactly what Damien was doing, 

" am sorry we have to leave, we're not in the right frame of mind. " Donald gave me a sad look.

I clutched his shirt tighter not showing any signs of releasing it any moment in the near future.

I shook my head frantically

"I can't sleep in here alone."

I looked around the spacious bedroom, it has everything a bedroom should have especially the basic necessities, but what it lacks is warmth.

I didn't need a prophet to tell me this room haven't been lived in.

"please you three should stay with me for one night."I gave him my best puppy dog eyes.

Staying alone will make me recall my past ordeal, and that's not something I want.
