Captured

Chapter Forty One

"Why did he do that? What did he want?"

Sex. That seems to be the common theme with men. Miles fancied me in his creepy and delusional ways and wanted to use our situation in hopes of having sex with me.

Unsure of how Cami might take this piece of information as she had recently been assaulted and I didn't want to her to get anxious or triggered I hesitated for a minute or so before responding. "I think he wanted to blackmail me so that I would have sex with him."

"Eww! Why are men so...so..." Cami trailed off but I knew what she was trying to say.

"I know but it doesn't matter anyway, he won't be an issue for us."

"Why?"

Because he's dead and rotting 6ft under in the same location we buried the rapist.

"He's er, dead."

"He's dead? How?" Cami questioned sounding both shocked and confused.

I would have to Cami the truth, hopefully she would feel more calm and at ease when she hears that the threat to both of us is minimal at the moment.

"The Alpha killed him." I quickly said those words and waited for Cami's response that didn't disappoint.

She gasped, squealed, spluttered and mumbled out a few inaudible words for a couple of minutes while I waited for her to process the information.

"Why?" Cami finally managed to splutter out. "Why did he kill him?"

For the third time I pondered whether or not I should tell her the full truth. It may calm her down.

"Okay so like before don't freak out." I began to say slowly. "It might not sound like it but it's good news. Don't say anything until I'm finished."

"Okay?" Cami confirmation came out more as a question. Taking in a deep breath, I began to explain what happened with Miles. While I was discussing how he died a twinge of guilt filled me and I shook my head as if I was trying to physically shake away the guilt that was forming.

What happened to Miles wasn't our fault, he got himself involved and should have backed away once he realised Alpha Alessandro was involved.

Throughout my explanation, Cami gasped and made choking noises but did as I asked and didn't interrupt. Once I was done, I took in another breath. "So you can't say anything to anyone. The Alpha and his cousin think it was me and they're being very lenient about everything, we're very lucky. We can't mess up what we have."

There was no response and I removed my phone from my ear to see if the line was still connected. "Cami?"

"S-so they know the truth but think it was you?" Cami's small voice was filled with disbelief.

"Yes, that's why you can't say anything. If you say it was you then they'll know I lied and they'll think we lied about everything. They won't believe a word we say."

"Why did you say it was you?" I grimaced slightly as I thought about how to answer the question, I didn't want to say or do anything that would diminish the pain and hurt she's went through and is still going through. Cami is supposed to be the one who's receiving therapy and help not me.

"I...I didn't. The Alpha just assumed and I didn't correct him." My words came out in a whisper and I waited with bated breath to hear her reaction.

"Oh."

"Are you annoyed that I did that?" I probably should have told the Alpha the truth however after his surprising reaction I didn't know how to.

"No." Her answer came out quickly. "I know everything you do is for me, it's to help me."

Closing my eyes, I leaned against the bedframe. "I would do anything for you Cami, I need you to know that. I might say or do things that might not make sense to you but please trust me."

"I trust you."

"Good. Now the whole saying the truth, can you drop it please? I know you think it's going to help me but it's not it's going to do the complete opposite."

Cami reluctantly agreed and I found myself relaxing again, there were issues constantly popping up and I was dealing with them, I was doing well. I do feel as though I was going to die from the rollercoaster emotions I was having and the stress of it but it was better than dying at the hands of the Alpha.

I would soon learn that being at ease and having a stress free life was not intended for me and the next few days would shatter the illusion of peace I had allowed myself to believe was real.
