Mistake With The Alpha Chapter 73

Samantha's

POV

I was so shocked that the drama Queen is crying. What is she even saying?

"What are you saying?" I asked.

I was trying so hard not to push her away from me. She just told a dangerous lie to me.

"I know you meant no harm. You just love him to do what you did since you didn't expect him to have a mate. I shouldn't have taken it out on you. Please forgive me". "But....."

She didn't allow me to talk.

"Just forgive me" she interrupted, putting my hands that she held on her wet cheek.

"Sam, you have to know that Allison is a very considerate person. What you did should have given birth to your death but she pleaded that you should be left alone. She even wants to ask for your forgiveness so see this as a privilege" Gerard, Jaylen's father said.

His tone was quite harsh and the way he was looking at me was very dangerous. Well I got to learn that when I was in coma, Jaylen also fainted and this made everyone think I bewitched him. So it was all Allison's words. I know there's no way I want to defend myself so that I would be clean. I looked at Jaylen to see if he also bought that lie but his expression didn't in any way give out what he was thinking. He wasn't even looking at me.

"I'm sorry, forgive me," I said softly.

"No no no! You shouldn't be apologising. I'm the one who was over jealous here" Allison rushed out.

I shook my head.

"Don't worry Luna, I've decided to leave for good".

This was when I felt Jaylen's face on me. I looked at him and then our eyes met. I don't understand the expression on his face but then I've made up my mind.

"I don't want to cause you any more trouble. Once I'm discharged, I'll take my leave".

As I said this I was looking into Jaylen's eyes. I was making sure to show him the pain in my heart which was caused by his love. Looking at Allison, I could see the joy in her eyes. "That's a good idea girl," Gerard said bluntly.

This isn't what I heard about Jaylen's father. I know how much of an idol he is to my father. Well I wouldn't blame him, all these involve his only son and with what he has heard, he won't definitely be friendly with such a person.

I then bowed. Allison left me and went to hold Jaylen. He looked at her briefly before he walked out. He didn't even bother to say a word to me and that alone pierced my heart with a sword. I cried so hard when they all left. This is just too much for my poor heart. I sure know that I have done no wrong to deserve this.

The physician discharged me that day. He said he needed to be sure that I'm totally fine. I left the following day. Susan and Vivian came to accompany me to my room. Immediately I got back to my room, I didn't even wait before I started packing. "Are you sure you want to leave?" Susan asked me.

I nodded.

"Did Sally agree to this?" She asked.

"I'll go tell her immediately I'm done packing" I replied dryly.

I didn't have the strength to say much. This is not easy for me but I have to do it. Jaylen is the only one that I've loved with the whole of my heart. I didn't say I would be selfish but his mate wouldn't let me be. She kept causing me trouble. Susan and Vivian helped me pack and when I was done, I took a paper and wrote my resignation letter. I didn't even want the pay off they were going to give me. I just wanted to be free. In fact while I await the doctor, I've planned to leave the pack. "Sally" I called when I was at her office door.

"Come in," she said.

I entered, bowed and then dropped my letter.

"What's this?" She asked, looking up at me.

"I resign," I replied with a shaky voice.

Sally sighed, then she stood up.

"Come child" she said.

Her gentleness couldn't help but to bring more tears to my eyes. I had planned to be strong but I was failing badly. She then led me to the sofa and hugged me. She didn't stop me from crying so I cried on. It was after a while that she talked. "You can't leave," she said.

"Yes I can," I replied.

"Sam, you'll die if you leave," she said.

I didn't really understand her about me dying but then I was determined to leave.

"It's better than this pain I'm going through. I didn't say Jaylen shouldn't be with his mate. How then do I deserve to suffer this much" I sniffed.

"I do understand you but Sam listens to me..." She paused looking into my eyes.

In it I didn't see pity like others. What I see is love. I want to know her reason for not letting me go. I know Sally has treated me better like her own daughter but then I didn't want to be here anymore.

"If you leave, I won't be able to protect you anymore. You'll die and Jaylen will be ruined" she said.

Forgetting about the other statement but the last one rang in my ears like a bell.

"Why did you say that?" I asked quickly.

All my tears were dried now. I don't want anything to happen to Jaylen.

"You have to listen to me carefully".

I nodded quickly.

"You still love Jaylen?"

"Yes and that hurts so much" I replied touching my chest.

"You know Jaylen is a very complicated hybrid...." I nodded. "So is his mating. Jaylen loving you isn't a coincidence. You are here to help him. If you leave him now, his life will be ruined" she said with a very captivating voice.

I know Sally, she says things as it is she wouldn't exaggerate it. Seeing her looking like there's really trouble if I leave, means there's really trouble but what I'm confused at is what I am to Jaylen.

"But I'm not his mate," I asked.

Although I feel this pull anytime it comes to Jaylen but I'm sure I'm not his mate. My mother told me that to replace a mate, you will have to first smell the mate, then your wolf will confirm the mating bond but then I didn't feel any of this. I just fell in love with Jaylen

on my own.

"You might not be but then haven't you noticed that Jaylen had been so peaceful since you two know each other? There is a purpose for everything" she answered.

"But staying is at the detriment of my peace and happiness. I love Jaylen but...."

"It is that love you should think about. If you leave, Jaylen will become a monster. He will be worse than before. He'll destroy everything and everyone that comes his way. You wouldn't want that right?"

That sounds so scary so I quickly shook my head.

"Then you have to help him. I'll try all my best possible to protect you. Ethan and Drey are also there to protect you" she said.

Now I know why Ethan and Drey are taking turns in my hospital ward. So this is the reason.

"You think Drey can be trusted?" I asked.

Knowing how Drey behaves, I do not think he can be trusted. He's a very silly one and not even part of our pack.

"Yes," Sally replied.

"Let me think about this Sally. I know you expect me to accept immediately but this is about me continuing suffering so I have to make sure I'm ready for this" I replied.

"I know dear. Take your time," she said softly.

I looked at her and then nodded before I stood up to leave. Till I got to my room, my mind was so clouded. I wondered if Jaylen was worth all these sacrifices.

"Why do I always have to be the one to be facing all these" I said to myself.

"Did you know when Jay told us that we are his opposite. Is this what it's all about?" Crystal asked.

She even remembered. "Yes I did but you know that we are the one at the receiving end here".

"I wish things were different," she said.
