Blood Bound - Chapter 83

>>Maya

I came out of the bathroom from a puking session and saw Quincy standing there with a worried expression. When I looked at him and his wavering eyes, I realized something.

“You already knew didn’t you?” He nodded, “Did you know all along?”

‘I knew that this would happen to the person involved, It was either Yohan or his mate but it completely slipped my mind for a while. It only hit me later when Yohan was hospitalized and you were ready to give him your all.”

““Say, did you take us in because you knew I was Yohan’s mate?”

He shook his head, “There was no way I could have known, only a werewolf knows who their mate is. It was a pure coincidence.”

“Feels more like destiny now.” I sighed. I was a bit exhausted.

“…” He didn’t reply, I guess he was feeling bad. It wasn’t his fault though. I don’t know who to blame for this really.

“Did you tell Nena?” He shook his head, “Don’t then. I’d like to spend some quality time with her.”

“Okay…”

I was walking away when I stopped and looked back at him, Quincy?”

“Hmm?”

“Is there a way to remove the symptoms?” They were getting worse pretty fast and I could tell I was short on time.

“…” He stared back at me as he pondered upon my words, “Yohan doesn’t know does he?”

I shook my head, “I don’t want to spoil the time I have with him.”

He sighed and thought about it, “Sorry Maya. The symptoms cannot be removed.”

“No way at all?” He shook his head softly, “I see…” I began to walk away, “I’d like to take Nena out.”

“Sure. If you need anything. Let me know.”

It was the fifth day since I came to live with Quincy on which Yohan suddenly came back. I wasn’t expecting him to come back that fast but I couldn’t ask him anything since he looked too distressed.

The moment I opened the door and saw him standing there with a grim expression, all I could do was offer him a hug.

It was late at night so I brought him to my room and heard him out.

He didn’t tell me any details about what had happened and I felt like he was skipping something on purpose but I didn’t pressure him. I didn’t want any sort of arguments or bumps in our remaining time.

He just told me the results and that now he was the official Alpha of his pack. He just told me that Adam wasn’t at fault for his curse and although there were many things he did wrong he wasn’t a bad person deep down.

“Did you get the answers you were looking for?” I asked.

“Yea and I found out a lot more too.” A saw a glint of sadness in his eyes but then he closed them as he remenenced something. It felt like it was best not to talk about the topic because even though Adam was a villain to me, he was a loving father to Yohan. “I want you to keep the feelings you have.” He said, “That’s why I won’t tell you the details.”

He spoke as he lay with his head on my lap while I sat on my bed,

“You sure you want me to hate your parents forever?”

“Nothing can change the fact that they had your parents killed.”

I smiled, then sighed. Just weird fates we have.

“Did Ruda come back with you?” I asked.

He nodded,“He was very disturbed and needed some time away. So he went back to his dorm but I know he’s going to skip some classes.”

“Or maybe he’ll take them because it might help keep him busy.”

“Maybe.”

I ran my hand through his hair in an attempt to relax his mind.

I looked at him.

I wonder if he regrets his decision? Or maybe he wishes he was never born to a family like that one. There are many things he could be thinking about now but he chose not to tell me and I chose to respect that.

I know losing family is hard. He must be very disturbed and stressed. I bit my lower lip and mentally apologized to him for the further pain I’m going to cause him.

“You didn’t visit your mom?”

“I couldn’t.” He replied softly, “I learned so many things that it got me confused.” He sighed, “But I feel like I still should go but I’m just thinking if I should tell what I learned to my mom.”

“Will that make any difference?”

“The only thing it can change is her feelings, make her hate dad a little less maybe? The past cannot be changed and there is no longer any chance for her to meet dad since he’s gone forever.” He paused, “But then I thought that wouldn’t it be cruel? If she learns that part of the truth with no way of redemption? That all that happened was just fate being cruel? That would just increase her pain. The damages can not be undone after all.” He held my hand, “So I think I won’t tell her. I guess it’s better to just hide it. Dad wanted it that way too after all. I’ll respect his wishes.”

“I see.” I caressed his cheeks, “Want to go back home then?” He smiled at me and nodded.

“We’ll leave in the morning, it’s late now.”

I nodded, “Sure,”
