{"Leroy"}
Since Maya went back to school, I have been filled with guilt. I know I went too far pleasing my father which I have always done since the 24 years of my life, proving myself to him. When Maya joined our pack, I had this peace around her though my father insisted on killing her but my grandmother refused which I don't know why. It's a rule in my park to kill any rogue on sight but my grandmother wanted her alive. Maya is very beautiful beyond words with her pale skin and blond long hair, her honey brown eyes and the sweetest scent ever. My mother made sure to treat her in an inhuman way, convincing me and my sisters to do the same since she was now a slave.
I liked her and wanted her but she kept rejecting me but when I saw her being close to my cousin brother Eli every day, I became so jealous that I started treating her badly too. I almost tried to force myself on her but I couldn't get myself to and sometimes for some reason, I was grateful for the fights she put up.
Things got worse after she told Eli about my advances and he came to confront me, I was next in line to be Alpha but because of Maya, Eli spoke to me with disrespect and that was the day I made up my mind to be merciless to her until the day I found out she was my mate before my coronation. I was torn between different feelings, Confused, angry at myself for treating her badly before and having Rose be my luna.
I was also happy because she was finally mine and didn't want to take chances making things right. That night, I went to my father to tell him the news and dismiss Rose since I found my mate but my dad wouldn't hear it. My father is a ruthless and selfish man and would do anything to achieve his aim.
He and my mum hated Maya soo much of which I don't know why. He threatened to hand his position to Eli if I accepted Maya as my mate. Eli is another Alpha in my family, he lost both his parents when he was young and my father took him in. He's hardly around because we both don't agree since we are both Alphas, so he takes care of one of my dad's companies far away. I couldn't let him have my inheritance, and became very angry that night with my dad and everything around me. And when I found out Maya had one of the golden orbs, I lost it.
I fucked her over and over again but yet it didn't satisfy my anger but instead, I felt worst, inhumanly treating my mate that way. When I took her to her room that night, I was about to clean her up when my mum badged in threatening me to leave her or she will make sure she puts her through much more pain, I reluctantly left the room feeling unworthy to be mated to someone. No one treats their mates that way. I Guess my father told my mum she was my mate because the hatred I saw in her eyes that night was scary.
I took pills to Maya the next morning for her pains and lied to her it was for percussion against pregnancy. I know she hates me so much but everything I did to her after that was to protect her so my father doesn't find out I still had intentions towards her. I avoided her all through my coronation and when my parents found out about the orb that day as Rose found it in my bedroom, they took her to the basement, banning me from going to see her.
For days I couldn't sleep and when I couldn't take it anymore, I called her school chancellor to come and pick her. I know if I didn't do that my father would kill her. I made the chancellor promise not to tell my parents. I stole the orb from my mum and gave it back to Maya. She was better off without me and even though I might have lost her, I wanted her to be alive. I put a note and some money in her bag telling her not to come back again. I didn't explain why but she didn't have to know.
Now I miss her so much. My wolf was so angry at me that he blocked me since that night.
My grandma came back last night and asked to see me this morning so I am in her quarters now, waiting for her.
"Leroy," she called.
"Good morning grandma" I greeted as she sat close to me.
"Good morning child" she acknowledged and smiled as I reciprocated.
"You wanted to see me,"
"Yes I did, I heard what happened to your mate" she muttered back with a sad expression.
"Am so ashamed of myself that I listened to dad grandma, even after finding out she was my mate. I should have protected her no matter what it was going to cost me, now I regret all I have done to her." I let out breaking down in tears. She pats my shoulder, consoling me and wipes the tears from my cheeks.
"It's okay son, you made a big mistake but I am happy you did the right thing at the end," she said smiling.
"What are you talking about?"
"I know you called her school," she whispered as I became surprised and scared. Yes, scared, I hope my dad didn't find out.
"How grandma? Does dad know too?"
"No son, he doesn't and doesn't have to." Oh, thank God.
"Grandma?"
"Yes son"
"Do you know why my parents hate her so much?"
"Ohh dear, it's a long story"
"What?" I screamed in shock, long story? Did my parents know Maya before she came to the park?
"Listen son, that's a story for another day," she said dismissively, causing me to grow in anger and confusion. What happened? Was I fooled all along? Now, this isn't getting where I want it to.
"Well grandma, since it has something to do with my mate, I demand to know the truth" I growled, losing my cool although she didn't seem affected by my outburst.
