19 Chapter 19

Freya

I was looking at Dad and waiting to hear something dreadful. I knew if it concerned Xander Cresswell then whatever it was couldn't be good. That man had been against Titus and me being mates since the moment he had found out about us.

"Titus had left for a two-year training in Europe," Dad replied.

I knew it was not going to be pleasant still I felt the world around me came crashing down. Titus had left for two years without even contacting me once? If he didn't want me then at least he could have rejected me. How could he just go away like this? This was something that I didn't expect from Titus.

I stumbled on the couch with my heart aching and eyes watering. My mate had not even found me worthy of rejection. How could he do something like this? I knew it was not going to be easy for me and Titus but I hadn't expected this.

"Freya, are you okay?" Gabriel walked up to me and placed his hand on my shoulder.

I brushed aside his hand with a jerk, I wanted to be alone at the moment and just cry. I wanted to cry for Titus one last time and then move on from him. If Titus didn't want me anymore then I will kill all my hopes of getting together with him.

"I told him about Gabriel, that you have two mates and if his son doesn't want to be with you then it's his loss because you have found someone better than him," Dad spoke.

I looked at Dad aghast, how could he do this? Now Xander Cresswell will never let Titus come back to me, and maybe if there was a hope that he might come back, was killed once and for all.

"Why did you do this Dad?"

"He was degrading you, Freya, he was calling you names and I told him to watch his tongue because you're are going to be the Queen of the Eastern clan," Dad looked at Gabriel with pride.

Why everyone wanted me to be with Gabriel? Why was no one thinking that I was still mated to Titus and it was killing me to even think that he didn't love me?

"Freya, it's for the best," Gabriel's voice was gentle.

I glared at him, how easy it was for him to say something like this. All he wanted was to have me, he didn't give a damn about how I was feeling. No one ever cared what I felt and what I wanted they all had their own opinions and plans about my life.

I got up from the couch and stormed towards my room, locking the door behind me, I fell on my bed. A cry escaped my mouth the moment I buried my face in the pillow.

"Ohh Titus, if you had at least spoken to me once and told me that you didn't want me, I wouldn't have been going through this pain and humiliation," I sobbed.

I don't know how many hours I spent in my bed crying over Titus's behavior. I couldn't forget how happy he had been when we found that we were mates. The way Sabre had been acting all lovey-dovey around me.

Sabre was such a cuddly wolf, and he looked so much in love with me. Then what would have happened that Titus just left for the training without meeting me or saying something to me? Will, I ever see him again?

A knock sounded on my door, I knew it was mom, she must be worried about me. I stayed silent so she might think I was asleep, but who was I kidding? She was my mom and she knew me better than anyone.

"Freya, honey I know you are awake. Please open the door," Mom called from outside my room.

I wiped my tears debating if I should reply to her or not. Mom was not going to go away until we had talked, and I was too craving for her to soothe me.

"Freya, my love please open the door, honey. Let me in, talk to me, there is something I want to tell you," Mom called out again after a few moments.

I slipped down from the bed and opened the door after unlocking it. Mom looked at me with a guilty expression when she saw my puffy eyes and a red nose.

She walked in and closed the door behind her. Then she held my hand and pulled me to the bed. She sat on the edge of the bed and pulled me beside her.

"I thought my baby was strong," she said wiping a tear from my cheek which had trickled down.

"Mom, my mate didn't even find me worthy of rejection," I replied honestly.

"Then why are you crying for him?"

"It hurts mom, it hurts real bad. I feel like someone has placed a boulder on my heart.

I don't understand why he didn't even tell me before leaving," I tried hard suppressing my tears.

"Freya, life isn't easy you have a go through a lot," Mom squeezed my hand in hers.

"Mom, what do you know about the pain of being away from your mate. You have Dad who loves you more than anything," I gave mom a sad smile.

Mom and Dad had been married for twenty-two years now. It was not to notice by just looking at them, how much in life they were with each other. Their life started and ended with each other. They just had eyes for each other when they were in the same room.

I knew this was the case with all the mates they just couldn't live without each other. Then why was it not the case with me and Titus?

"Freya, you don't know something about your Dad and me," Mom said, I couldn't help but notice a sad expression in her eyes.

Why was mom sad? What was it that I didn't know about them?

"What is it, Mom?" I asked with curiosity.
