The Assassin's Mate

Chapter 25

"Calm down Darsh. It was just a dream." May said but I still wasn't paying attention to them. It was like I was in my own world with all the traumas. 

"Darshana!" Derek yelled as he shook me. I snapped out of it and started crying. I've been showing my weak side lately and I hate it. I am not weak. I don't cry but here I am, crying a river.

"I can't deal anymore. The nightmares are getting worse." I wailed in May's arms.

"When you were over at Raiden's place, you had nightmares right?" Derek asked. His name caused a slight pain in my heart but I nodded at Derek.

"So how did you go back to sleep then? How did you relax?" Derek asked again.

"Raiden usually slept with me and it made me feel at peace." I said as I remembered us together.

"You need Raiden. You need him just like he needs you Darshy. Please give him a chance." May begged.

"I don't need Raiden. I don't care if he needs me because I don't need him. Just get me a sleeping pill." I said icily to them and Derek sighed. May left and quickly came back with the pills and a glass of water. I downed it down and laid back in my bed.

"Goodnight." May said and kissed my head.

"Goodnight Darshy." Derek sighed and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I finally went back to sleep because the drug was starting to take effect on me.

I woke up and was feeling...I don't know how I was feeling. I did my morning routine and headed downstairs for breakfast. I didn't see any of them there but i saw my breakfast on the table and quickly ate it because I was so hungry. I think I skipped my night meal that would explain the terrible hunger. I decided to go over to Derek's office to see if he was there. I opened his office door and saw him and a familiar back that was facing me. The person turned and I saw Brian.

What is he doing here!

I glared at him and Derek excused himself and left Brian and I alone in his office. I sat on Derek's seat and kept glaring at Brian.

"I'm sorry Darsh."

Silence.

"I didn't mean what I said to you back there."

Silence.

"I can explain everything. Why I acted that way." I still kept quiet while glaring at him and he continued.

"Raiden and I have been best friends ever since we were born. We did everything together. Our parents were very close because his parents were the alphas and mine were the betas so there was an obvious mutuality. We were bros you know? We swore to keep ourselves for our mates. Yes, Raiden is still a virgin. Then his parents died during a rogue attack and it took a very big toll on him. He was so devastated and he felt like he had no one to watch his back. He had a sister though and he had to take care of her at a young age.

    He felt alone and unloved because he was so close to his parents and they showered him so much love. Sometimes I blamed him for not protecting his parents because they died in front of him and he couldn't do anything about it then I learned it was very stupid of me to blame him for it. Two years later, my parents died too and Raiden had to take the alpha position at the age of 17. We only had each other to depend on that's why when you came and you were acting so mean to Raiden, I thought you were going to break his heart and leave him like his parents did when they died. I didn't want Raiden to be heart broken the second time that's why I tried to make him have a backup if you ever left him. I didn't know what you also passed through till now. I am really sorry for everything I have done and for judging you." Brian said with a tear falling from his eye. He quickly wiped it away.

Did he just cry and apologize?? I brushed the thought away. I was touched by what he said because I didn't knew Raiden had gone through so much at a young age. Our problems were almost similar. I couldn't give in easily to Brian after all he did to me. I had to put up a tough exterior. 

"Are you done?" I asked without emotion. Brian's face dropped because he was expecting a better reaction from me.

"Please Darsh. Raiden needs you. He is terrible without you. He can't lead the pack without the Luna. Please Darsh, think about it." Brian stood up and left.

I didn't know what to do. I didn't know if I should forgive Raiden and come back to him because I need him too. I admit it, I like him very much and I need him as much as he needs me too.
