Love's tangled web
Chapter 10
LUCIA LORENZO'S POV
The one thing in life we can always count on is a mate. Even if no one is in love with you, you can be sure that your partner will at some point. What matters is not your ranking or appearance. The relationship is the only thing that matters.
As wolves, we are raised to believe that we can only love one person at a time. When a partner is found, relationships are essentially doomed from the beginning because someone will inevitably suffer harm. However, who was going to inform the upcoming alpha of one of the most powerful packs to date?
Blaine has never been my lover. My partner is the only person I've ever loved romantically. My partner, who was meant to be there for me no matter what, Even if I drove him crazy, was supposed to love me. I was going to be loved and treated like a queen by my mate. Regretfully, the man I have never loved and the man I will always adore happens to be the same person.
Blaine will always be the one for me, no matter what. He was meant to be with me, not because I loved him. The stars had it written in them. His memories will always be tarnished in my soul.
Since I do believe in love, I cannot claim that I do not. I have personally witnessed the love between my parents. With Luna Kharis and Alpha Gilbert, I witnessed it. People are consumed by the phenomenon of love. It seizes hold of our hearts and refuses to let go. You can love someone forever once you fall in love with them. There will always be a place in your heart that holds the memories of the love you once shared, no matter how deeply they hurt you.
Mirabel will always be loved by him.
I had been too exhausted to go back into my wolf after the encounter with Blaine. My feet were completely covered in dirt by the time I got to my residence.
"Oh, goddess of mine! Are you okay?"
With tears in my eyes, I can hardly see anything, but I make out a blur of blonde hair.
"I'm fine."
"You're not, I assure you. Accompany me."
I take her hand and allow her to guide me out of sight. I realize that she might be a renegade who will kill me, but my heart hurts too deeply to give it any thought. My tears begin to lessen as we get closer to our goal.
"Here, sit on the rock."
I did as she said and, at last, raised my gaze to the sky. My breath is taken away by the sight of the lake. Even after spending my entire life here, I'm always in awe of it. Despite the large number of visitors, the water is very clear and typically quite serious.
"We live in a beautiful place, don't you think?"
I'm drawn out of my thoughts by her voice. Examining her face, I can't think of a name that fits her angelic face, even though she looks familiar.
"I'm sorry, do I know you?"
"My name's Rose Adrien."
"Wait, I do know you; you're the girl who moved to France."
"That's me!"
France . Anywhere away from here seems like a worthwhile destination. In addition, I've longed to see the Arc de Triomphe my entire life.
"What's the reason for your tears?"
"Why do you care?"
"Well, I'm a good person, and you're the strongest girl in this pack, so it's kind of weird to see you cry."
What should I say to her? "My mate loves someone else." Despite my hatred for him and the fact that my mate is in love with my sister, my heart still feels broken.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry."
"Yeah."
"You do realize that the relationship always prevails? You'll be able to overcome him before long."
I didn't believe her, which surprised no one. Maybe, just once, I had believed their words. At that moment, the idea of love clouded my judgment.
I had made up my mind right then and there. I would mourn for Blaine de Lombardi one last time on this day.
"Rose, do you have something to cry about?"
"Why?"
"I don't want to cry alone."
She grinned. We then continued releasing our sorrow until it vanished completely.
BLAINE DE LOMBARDI'S POV
She must be sent away!
She must be sent away!!.
She must be sent away!!!.
My thoughts were disorganized. The elder's comments were all that was on my mind.
Distance is the only means of breaking the tie.
I felt uneasy at the idea of taking her away. How could I be sure she was safe if she was far away? If she's not near, how am I going to keep the entire male species away from her?
Gentlemen and ladies, please! Tonight we have a hypocrite in our midst!
Henry, please stop talking.
The elder's comment after telling me to send Lucia away irritated me more.
You are just postponing the inevitable, even if you can send her to the moon.
I won't have to worry about anything if I make sure I never see her again.
Some could argue that I was being a jerk. They would be right. Not only am I doing this for Lucia, but also myself. She deserves a partner who will fully commit his heart to her. Someone who is infatuated with her based on her identity rather than their mate link.
I've been married to the same woman my entire life. A woman who betrayed me and destroyed what little heart I still had. I want to live my life as if Mirabel hadn't entered the picture.
Lucia always brings back memories of my past. She makes me think of hurt and betrayal. When all you have to offer someone is hate, how can you truly love them? When I'm not sure if I even have a heart at all, how do I offer it to her?
Before finding my love, I must first find my soul. I'll release her then, for the benefit of the two of us.
