Miguel's pov
The ride to my pack was done in silence.
Aiden who tried to get me to change my mind about going home was reluctant to look at me.
I guess I've broken his heart enough times to want peace between us.
"I can find a cure for your babies. We Ilumea are good in medicine," he says when we're almost near my mates' pack.
"I know Aiden, but my baby needs to go home."
Bulky said the only thing that will help them is blood from their fathers.
I can't afford for anything to happen to my babies juts because am having a problem with their father.
My babies comes first.
"I can't go further," Mond stopped the car at the boundary between the pack and the rest of the world.
"Why?" I looked at him in question.
"Solomon was forbidden to step his feet in this pack, and I as his mate shares the same law. Am afraid I can't go any further than this."
" Will anything happen to you if you step foot into the pack?"
" You wouldn't want to know," he got down from the car, and helped me take my babies' stroller out.
He have his face downcast as he looked down at my babies.
Even without the sniffing sounds I was hearing, I know he's crying. Mond have always being the emotional one.
"I will really miss you Miguel," he hugged me.
"I will miss you more Mond. Nabel will also miss her favourite uncle," I allowed myself to be hugged by him knowing this might be the last time I get to see him unless the goddess have another plan for us.
" Come on you two cry babies," Solomon hugged us both. " You're making me emtionnal, but I swear not to cry," he sniffed. "I won't cry," his eyes welled in tears as he touched Lijah's cheeks.
" Your favourite student will miss you," I smiled just as the tears kept on flowing.
The thoughts of leaving the people I've gotten close to just doesn't sit well with me.
I might have only being with them for almost a year, but I've gotten used to them. I've gotten more closer to them than I've ever done to another.
"He better do." He placed a necklace beside Lijah "that's my token to him. I hope he remembers me with this," he kissed Lijah's head before he walked into the car.
My heart broke knowing I won't see their smiling faces again.
"Bye Nabel," Mond removed the ring on his finger, "this was something my mother left before her death. I guess I will give it to her." He pecked her cheeks.
" She won't forget you Mond. I will make sure of that."
" You better do so. I won't want my baby forgetting me. " He hugged me again.
" If they don't treat you right Miguel, our door will always be open for you to come in whenever you want."
With one last pat on the back, he walked into the car.
I guess this might be the last time I get to see my best friends.
It really does hurt to say goodbye.
"Miguel," Aiden who have been standing by the side walked towards me.
"Why can't I be the one you run to when things get out oF hand?
Why are you still hellbent on being with those who don't deserve you?"
Ever since I've known Aiden, I've never seen him look as heartbroken as he did now.
" You're more than I deserve Aiden," I touched his cheeks." You really deserves someone who's not like me. Someone who doesn't have too much baggage like I do. You deserve more than me."
Aiden deserves more than I can ever give him. He deserves to be the only one in a person's heart.
"I don't mind about your baggage. I will take whatever you give me Miguel. I won't demand for things from you," he held on to my hand.
The look on his face totally broke me. My will crumbled as I looked into the face of male who loves me.
"Please Aiden, don't make this too difficult for us."
Looking at him made me guilty.
"I love you Miguel. Why can't you love me back? am I not worthy of your love? am I not worth the sacrifice?" Tears kept sliding down his face.
" You're Worth more than my love Aiden, and someday you will know about it.
You're still too young to give up hope about love. Love will find you someday, and when it does cherish it."
I hugged him.
This is all I have to give him.
" Just stay with me Miguel. I don't need any love that's not you," he tightly held me to himself. Reluctant to let me go.
" You will one day resent me Aiden."
One day when he discovers his love for me wasn't what he wanted, he might regret meeting me.
" I won't do that Miguel. I love you more than I can hate you," he still was reluctant to believe any word I say.
"Am sorry Aiden, " I broke up from the embrace. "You will one day find your true love, and when you do. You will find True happiness.
I can't be with you because my heart doesn't beat for you. It Beats for the Fathers' of my babies."
i know the words am saying will truly hurt him, but that's the only way I can get him off my case.
" I know!" he angrily kicked a stone close by. " You will always love them even if they treat you like trash. That's what you want, mates that treat you like trash!"
He entered the car, and banged the door behind him. It was only a miracle the door didn't fall out.
I know I hurt you Aiden, am really sorry.
I stood and watched as their car disappeared from sight.
My heart breaking because I know I won't get to see them again. Most importantly, my heart hurts for Aiden.
