Unconditional!

21. Explanation

"I gather from your expression that Scarlet didn't tell you about me being her sire." She says making me look at her in shock and bubbling anger as I remember Scar's words.

-"2 years. It was a test. The person who turned me wanted to make sure they weren't turning a weak person, they wanted a strong...you get it."-

But before I could say anything she continued, "Did I save her from her father and help her exact revenge on him? Yes, but I also know I am anything but a villain in her story. I wasn't the best sire to her...I shouldn't have been her sire at all! I made her do horrible things and most if not all of them were because of Erebus's fake love. I won't...shouldn't blame everything on him because maybe his presence, words, and love changed me more than I would ever like to admit. Maybe I made her do something she didn't want not for Erebus or anyone else, but for me because I wanted it and knew I could make her do anything I wanted. Everything I did, everything I made anyone else do...I have enough regret, guilt, and remorse to last me a lifetime. I know she hasn't forgiven me nor do I just expect her to forgive me anytime soon..." I cut her off before she could continue.

"Maybe that's because you never asked for it..." I say sternly with a glare making her snap her eyes to me, confused.

"What do you mean?" She asked making me shake my head at her ignorance.

"You never asked for her forgiveness, Kamilah. I can see that you regret everything you did but does she? Why do you think she hesitated when Meera asked her that question? Do think she has any reason to trust because from what you told me...she doesn't. You never apologized to her, simply gave a reason for your behavior...Erebus. I am not saying you are wrong but from her perspective? Erebus might be the villain for you and Jacob but from what you are saying Erebus hardly ever associated with Scarlet. For her, you are the only villain. For her, you are the one who needs to apologize, she doesn't need to know that he was the villain in your story because I am sure when you guys decided to take down Erebus she figured that out on her own. You need to apologize if you want forgiveness, maybe it might give the both of you the mental peace and closure you need." I stopped as I closed my eyes to take a deep breath before finding her eyes again...unreadable eyes.

"You are right. I never asked and I should have. I will, I promise you." She replied with determined eyes as I nodded with a small smile.

"I believe you, Kams!" I exclaim with a cheeky smile as I lift my hand for a high five only for her to look at me with a murderous glare causing me to gulp. Don't worry she won't kill you; I am her mate's only best friend!

"Don't call me that." She says far too calmly and slowly for my comfort as I nod with a gulp before lowering my hand. Grumbles, yes! Now that's your...secret nickname.

"Happily changing topic, are you ready to talk to Meera?" I ask with a soft smile making her release a breath as she nods, averting her gaze.

"Maybe. Yes. I won't lie but it did help to talk to you about all this stuff, I just hope Hera understands and forgives me." She mumbles as she closes her eyes before leaning back on the couch.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I know Meera will understand and if you grovel enough, like really beg her...she will forgive you." I answer with a shit-eating grin before speeding to our kitchen ignoring the glare that she threw my way.

She won't kill me.

Can't.

"So, do you wanna eat something, Lilah?" I ask with my grin in place causing her to grunt and scowl as she shakes her head.

"Stop with the nicknames." She says, irritation clear in her voice while she glares in my direction but I simply pout before shaking my head.

"Come on! I like to think we bonded today! I can give you a nickname right?" I ask hoping she says yes. I want to give Grumbles a public nickname too.

"Yes and No. We bonded but not enough for you to give me nicknames and such." She grumbles out making me frown. Grumbles is a tough one!

"Okayyy...no. How about a deal? You let me nickname you and I will tell you about Meera's boyfriends!" I offer with a grin. What good are best friends if you can't use them or their information to blackmail/deal with their partner, am I right?

Yes. The answer is yes.

Her glare deepens as she shakes her head. "No. I already know about them." She says making me look at her in surprise before I smirk in her direction.

"Did a little friendly stalking?" I ask causing her to grumble in annoyance but she doesn't answer. So, the answer is yes.

Okayyy, no problem! I just need to dig a little deeper.

"How about the reason she got together with them and why she broke up?"

A grumble. "No."

"How about the photos of the time she flashed a whole bar while being completely hammered?"

An angry grumble. "No."

"How about her favorite dildo?"

A very angry grumble and a gulp! "No!" I grin at her answer. She is getting angsty. I am close to breaking you, Grumbles.

"How about her favorite positions?"

A Grumble. A Gulp. And, "No."

"How about her dirty fantasies that I learned after a long time of day drinking?" I ask with a smirk. This has to break you, Grumbles. It is my ace.

A grumble, check.

A gulp, check. Opening of mouth and...nothing! Hell yes!

"I...I shouldn't agree..." She whispers and thanks to my new powers I hear her causing me to smirk.

"Don't worry about it! She might be a little angry but I am sure you can use these to earn your forgiveness. But I do suggest doing it after this matter is resolved." I say with a small smirk causing her to grumble before she shakes her head.

"I can't believe I am doing this..." She mumbles making me grin at her distressed yet curious expression before flashing away to get my phone and sending her the message.

"There you go, Lilac!" I exclaim with a shit-eating making her grumble but she doesn't say anything as she unlocks her phone before I very clearly see her eyes sparkle with lust making me mentally snigger. I hope you have fun, Grumbles.

"These 5 things are...are you sure?" She asks with an excited yet nervous expression making me smile.

"Of course! She told me herself before she wrote all 5 in my phone to remember while thinking it was her phone. We were very drunk." I answer.

Except for one of course. But Kamilah doesn't need to know that. I am so freaking excited for the outcome. I mean either they will have so much fun not knowing it was my idea or I will be dead.

I am confident that I won't die.

Before either of us could continue our conversation the bell ringing interrupts us. Who is it? Meera already messaged that she would talk to us at lunch and decided to sleep at my mate's house. Goodness! That feels so amazing to say!

"Jacob?" I say confused once I open the door to find a distressed Jacob in my doorway.

"We need to talk. It's an emergency."

Well, fuck!
