Chapter 22

Vincent really didn't think of her as he left but that doesn't mean that he didn't think of her when he continued his hunt. His mind was not interested hunt and he knew that he would keep making mistakes but he already made up his mind not to return home until that evening and he knew that he was being cold to his mate but he needed to be. If he let's her get her way, she might think that it was okay to boss him around and he refuse to let another woman dictate his movements, even if the woman was his mate.

****

Gwen woke up the next morning , extremely late and knew by the link with her mate that he was no where near the vicinity. Tears fall from her eyes as she realized that even after pleading with him, he still left her as if what her feelings didn't matter.

She angrily wipe her tears. Of course her feelings didn't really matter to the primordial, it only matters when she does something he wants, like having sex and cuddling and talking about her life.

Gwen paused as she realized the truth in the statement, all their times spent together. It was mainly her talking about herself, her life before being a vampire. The fun she had with friends, the sorrow she felt when she watched them from a distance as they got over her and continued to live their lives.

All Vince did was listen and not talk, she had been so carried away, she was the one who acted like she needed him to take control in her life and he probably did. Like she was a toddler that needed guidance and so he treated her as such and now she is demanding for something she is suppose to have natural right to as his mate, the right to decide about a situation when she is not comfortable with it then it. Only that her mate is finding it difficult to give her that.

That was why he said her concerns where silly. She knew that if she had just agreed for him to continue doing whatever it is he is doing, he would have patted her on the head, like a toddler. She had been so stupid that she had no idea.

She didn't realize that tears were falling from her eyes until she batted it away, she knew that he left but she couldn't help herself, she went into their bedroom to see the room in pristine condition. Normally, the maid would do it at their leisure but they must have heard her quarreling with Vincent and so have tried their very best to stay out of sight in case she lash out. The mansion had been silent yesterday while she was sick. Even Jessica had stayed out of sight once Vince came back.

She moved to the wardrobe as she opened it and started to bring out her clothes, she had enough and although she didn't want to leave, she knew that this was the only way that Vincent will pay her any attention.

She sniffed as she brought out her luggage and started packing her clothes inside.

" no, honey. What happened. " Jessica said as she came into the room and saw Gwen packing her clothes. She knew at once that her brother had screwed up big time and Gwen had, had enough.

" nothing much. I just learnt my place of importance in your brother life. " Gwen said bitterly even though she tried to keep the bitter tone from her tone and clearly it didn't work.

Jessica nibbles on her lips as she looked at Gwen who appears crushed, she needed to do something to prevent Gwen from leaving.

" stop thinking about it. " Gwen said with a sigh as she speared Jessica a look before she continues with arranging her clothes. Keeping everything at a human speed because she wanted to get enough of Vince scent in her before she left and she knew that it would be the only thing that will keep her sane.

" thinking about what. " Jessica asked Gwen as she felt guilt. Gwen was her friend and although she is usually loyal to friends but family trumps friends and Vince was not only part of her formed family but also among her real family.

" about keeping me here so that Vincent will return and try to conVince me to stay. " Gwen said as Jessica sighed. " I need to leave. "

" why, why do you have to go. You shouldn't have to leave. You should knock some sense into Vince. "

" this is the only way that I can do that Jess. " Gwen said tiredly as she zipped her bag.

" there must be a way without hurting you and Vince because this separation will certainly hurt you two and even if it doesn't, it will hurt your relationship. " Jessica said

" the relationship needs to go. It was toxic for me anyway. Will you teleport me. " Gwen asked Jessica.

" why will I do that. " Jessica asked.

"I will write a letter to your brother. " Gwen said as Jessica slowly nod her head.

" I don't think you you leaving is a good idea. " Jessica said again.

" I know, you said so a couple of times already but I can't do this anymore. Your brother does not take in my consideration. I told him of my worries and he call it silly, he dispose of my ideas and decided that he has the last say in our relationship every single time. It is like I am his property and he gets to make all the decisions concerning me and not only that I know that if I let him get away with his issue. I am forever giving up my right to complain as he will be making all the decisions and I would even be lucky if he tells me about it and I don't want to be in that kind of relationship for eternity. " Gwen said trying to explain to her friend. ConVince her that she was doing the right thing. She was also trying to conVince herself that she was doing the right thing for her relationship with her mate.

" okay. If you say so. " Jessica said reluctantly.

Later that evening when Vince appeared in his castle, he saw his sister waiting for him as if something serious has happened .

" hello. " Vince greeted her but she just glared at him.

" Gwen was the best thing that ever happened and you know this, why are you being an ass about it. "

" I don't get what you mean. " Vince said.

" well jackass, she left the mansion in tears today , you screwed up and I suggest you find her and grovel at her feet for forgiveness and promise to change. " Jessica said but Vince shook his head.

" she will be back. This is just a power struggle. "

" are you hearing yourself, a power struggle. You are supposed to share Vince. " Jessica asked dumbfounded.

Vince breathes in tired as he shook his head at his sister. " I need to rest sister. Not now. " he said before he teleported to his room and saw her place clean and bare as if she had never been there. Suddenly he knew that might be more serious than the way he is taking it.
