23 Wait

Zoe's pov 

"Vincent?" I say 

"Yes, darling?" 

"I have something to say to you" I finally say. No time to back out.

"Baby, can't you wait till morning?" Vincent asked. 

"I know it's late but it is really important," I start off

Before you guys jump to conclusions this was three weeks after.

that very night and two nights ago I chickened out, as usual.

Maybe I won't chicken out this night.

"It's about Matt and something else that you need to know." I continue. 

With that statement, I have gotten his full attention.

I turn to his direction and I see that he is wide awake.

He's so handsome. 

"What about him? And someone else?" Vincent asks 

"Vincent calm down. It's something about my past that you need to know. Please just sit up and listen to me. 

"Okay, Zoe you have my full attention. Firstly what is it about Matt?" He asks 

"The thing is," I pause not knowing whether to continue or not. 

"Well," he says hinting for me to continue 

"Thethingisiamthereasonwhymattishereitisa llmyfaultwehaveapasttogetherandhealmostmarkedme" I say quickly with no pause and start panting. Phew, I told him the truth well kind of. 

"Wait what? Zoe, I need you to calm down and repeat what you said and say it slowly this time okay?" he says 

"Okay I...am....the," I say very slowly.

Ugh, woman up Zoe! 

"A little bit faster baby," he says 

"I am the reason why Matt is here it is all my fault that your pack is in danger and you all are so stressed the thing is we have a past together and we didn't have sex just to put that out there okay and there was a time we almost had sex and he almost marked me. Okay no, he almost raped me but someone saved me. Because for some reason I led him, I didn't. He tried to do a lot with me but I got out of it. " I say panting, I am out of breath. That was a lot for me to say I hope he understands me. 

Vincent looked at me with a blank expression as if he was calculating what to say. 

"I don't think that is all, explain what you mean about that." Vincent finally says after like five minutes. 

"Okay I met Matt five years ago before my freshman year we were friends and I never had feelings for him but I guess he had feelings for me and he thought I loved him and that we were all going to be mates but I didn't find out about it till February in my 18th birthday we weren't mate and I was so happy because he is just a friend to me and he wanted me to be more he told me that he was okay with it and then we went to a party I trusted him with my drink I was almost drunk and he tried to make me his but then before he could do anything Nate got there in time and he confessed that he loves me and told me everything when I told him that I didn't return the feeling he got angry and he left and later like three weeks later he jumped me at the mall and he was w--was about to mark me but then one of my friends helped me he told me that he will get back at me and then he will get me back at the time I least expect it and that he will make me his and that no matter what and he will make me his. He became a part of my squad. At 16 he tried to rape me but then Zoesephi saved me." I start off

"And that's why he came here. I am so sorry it is all my fault and I am acting like a big baby ," I say while crying on my knees.

He hugs me closer to him. I can't stop crying.

"I know it's a lot to take in so I'll say it again. He was my friend. A part of my childhood and my life. We were in a squad. My locker mate in high school. He had a girlfriend that was my best friend before Stephanie. We went to a party at 16 living our lives as reckless teenagers. He was drunk and he tried to rape me. My best friend, Zoesephi, saved me. But in the process of saving me, she lost her life. Zoesephi and I look alike so he still doesn't believe that she's dead. He thinks I am here so he's still trying to get me. She was his mate." I say finally break down.

"Baby girl it's alright, shh, nothing will happen, baby girl, he won't touch you. I won't let that happen. Baby girl if you don't mind me asking who is Zoesephi?" He asks

I wipe my tears gulp and I say "My dead twin" I say to him and tell him all about my angel.

"She was meant to be alive today, not me. I forced her to go to that party. It was all my fault. The real reason why my father was so happy about leaving me here." I say and he kisses my forehead.

" Darling you deserve to be here, everything happens for a reason and it's not your fault. Calm down, my love. It's going to be okay. Well, I for one would have kidnapped you if your dad didn't leave you willingly so a good thing came out of it." He says and I snort.

" Yeah," I say smiling through the tears.

"Baby girl it is not my fault it is okay and I also have something to tell you but baby girl let's talk about it in the morning go to sleep," Vincent says.

He hugs me and I hug him back. It feels so good to finally tell someone and let it all out.

We fall into a deep sleep.
