CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: WHAT IS LOVE?

 SYLVIA POV

"He's not even trying to deny it, that's what makes me more livid with pain and frustration, it's annoying and yet frustrating!!, why do I have to stay silent like nothing is happening?"

The only person giving me response or listening to my complain and cry of anguish is Trevour's father, the old man is trying all his possible best to make sure we are together but Trevour isn't bothering to try anymore.

"You need to calm down and breathe Sylvia, at least that's why you called for this meeting, Adio jabbing insults at me,"

When Trevour finally spoke, he was on the defensive again, just like he's been doing for days, attacking and trying to make me vulnerable. 

"In no way did I insult you, if for one thing you are the one insulting me, by acting like I'm crazy or spitting nonsense, ignoring me and paying no attention to my pain!,"

Happy that he's finally saying something in relationship to the topic at hand, I jabbed back at him at once.

"She's saying the plain truth and you know I will sprain out the truth, you choose your part son, you choose Sylvia, why are you trying to bring her pain now?," 

When his father supported me, I almost rushed into his arms to sob out loud but that wouldn't help me in any way, I need to be firm and strict with what I want and what's making me sad.

"You both are screaming on my head and it's annoying, you called for this meeting and I came right away, what else do you want."

"She found out about my plans to keep my mate away from here just so I can apologize to her and express my undying love, you told her after contacting Alpha Hinton so why are you asking more questions?,"

When my mate spat out those words to his father, indirectly speaking to me as well, I went rigid with pain and shock.

"Of course I found out about your dirty and cunny plan, how you wanted to dupe me and be with Tessa, but you know what's more frightening?, the fact that you aren't even sorry or bothered that I know about it,". 

He laughed softly begkre looking away from me, like I hadn't said anything important, the dismissing look told me everything I needed to know.

How much Aloha Trevour had to lie to keep me by his side, my brain buzzing back to the conversation between he and his father, how he mentioned wanting to marry a woman with a wealthy background all because his father did.

"You don't need to cry my daughter, Tessa is there and she's not coming back soon, my son can keep working himself out but that relationship is over,"

His father once again tried to comfort me but I don't want his father love and comfort, I will jump on Trevour if he makes the tiniest effort to keep me sane.

I don't mind if he lies and tell me it's not true even after I know and have confirmed that he didn't plan to sell Tessa on the first place.

"Look Sylvia, we have been in a relationship for as long as I can remember, even before I met Tessa and we both know how to appreciate and stay together."

"It's true that I don't love you but you wouldn't know it if I didn't say it to you and begkre you open your mouth wide in shock like you are doing now, you might be happy to hear that I regret and blame myself for keeping my feelings away from Tessa."

"Lying these past months and pretending that I don't want her all for the sake of the family legacy or whatever!"

He paused and took his hands to the back of his neck, looking at my face intensely, waiting to hear from me.

His father shaking his head sadly at Trevour but he isn't even looking or acknowledging the fact that he just told me to my face that I have been stupid all along for believing that he truly loves me and choose me over Tessa because he want to.

"Are we through with this topic? Because I will love to have my leave and quiet time, my wolf has been irritated for sometime now and it's really best if I'm left alone.

The silence in the room was broken again by him, my head too hurt to gather words to say, I could feel the betrayal, the pain and Shane altogether but I just couldn't put them in words, I was they distraught.

"Son, this isn't the right way to handle this situation and you are doing it all wrong, Lycan king Shane is almost married to Tessa, you wouldn't be getting her back and right now she's angry with you, she won't come back to you,"

My head turned at once from Trevour's father back to Trevour face, as much as what the old man said annoyed and made me so upset, I also wanted to hear what he has to say.

To know that I'm just a replacement, I'd a means to forget something temporarily made me so sad. All the while I was happy thinking I'm the chosen one!.

"You can't say for sure father, you really can't say. We share the mate bind and I'm sure she will understand if I explain what really happened and,"

When Trevour started talking and his explanation swung to Tessa favor in full force, I was moved to scream. The anger raging a storm in my head couldn't be managed again like I had been doing since we gathered in his garden for the meeting. 

"So are you really accepting all these allegations? The fact that you have loved Tessa all these years and planned me all for my family connection and now that you are tired of me, you want nothing more to do with me?,"

"It's better you let me know I'm full details so I can get out of here and your life. This is just too much. The disrespect and heartbreak I thought you love me?"

The last question was a plea, I made my voice so vulnerable and sad, just maybe he can learn to love me and forget Tessa. 

But when the father of my child smiled arrogantly and sat back in his chair, I feared that he isn't going to say what I'm wishing to here. What if he stand by the truth and say it to my face that he choose Tessa again this time like he did the second Time.

"Well father, you called for this meeting so you should take anything that comes from it, she asked me a very important question that I have been meaning to answer and I guess it's time I do that now,"

Alpha Trevour eyes were pinned on mine the whole time he spoke to his father, almost like a dreadful warning. 

"You are greedy and indecisive son, that's what you are!," the loud voice of his father broke our connected eye, I watched as the old man stalked away angrily and the man I love move toward me with a smirk on his face to tell me my fate.

Just maybe I will be the next person to March out angrily like his father did.
