Chapter 128
still Bethany's POV
“That was wrong. You don't have to fight your man because of me, Beth.” Ciara muttered softly when I went back to her. “Were you eavesdropping on our conversation? That's rude you know. And just to be clear, this isn't about you, it was never about you. It's between Dominic and I, this is what I should have done a long time ago, I guess it's better late than never, right?" I responded with a smile that was meant to assure her that everything will be alright, but I don't think she was convinced at all because that smile looks more like a nervous breakdown and I felt the tears slide down my cheeks as I helped Fiona to wipe off the blood from her hands and her face. I can feel his eyes boring holes in my back, but I didn't turn back. I haven't turned around since I left him standing there and I certainly won't. This is a decision that I should have made along time ago, I have to stop letting him walk all over me. If I keep forgiving him, he may end up making one of these risky decisions and this time he may not be so lucky, someone may actually die because of him and I won't be here to witness such, I certainly won't let my friends or family to be his next victim. I'm taking them out of here, then I'm coming back to get my family away as well. He can get himself killed if he wants to, I don't care about that.
“He did the right thing you know, I don't want to be in that hospital anymore. One more day in that hospital would have driven me completely insane. I know he put my life in danger, I should be even more pissed off at him as well, but I can't get angry or I'l lose control again and end up tearing someone into shreds again.” She let out in a sarcastic tone, making me chuckle softly at her sense of humor, it's a good thing that she still has a sense of humor, most people in her situation woul have lost it by now.
“Wait a minute, is that why you attacked that guy, were you angry at him?" I asked her curiously.
“Yeah, I was angry, I am angry. I mean, I've always been pissed off a Fabius, whenever I think about him, I feel this blood rage within me. I just lost control today and spoiled my anger on an innocent guy, which reminds me, how is he, will he be okay, did I kill him?" she asked me in a panic. This is cool, this is so good. It means that she would not snap at anyone or try to tear anyone apart. I guess I was right, after all, taking her out of this place will really aid her recovery. As long as she stays away from anything or anyone that could remind her of that bastard Fabius.
“Do you think you can control your anger if we changed our location, can you try to control your shifts?"
“Enough about me, Bethany. Like you said, this is not about me, it is about you and Dominic. You can't leave him because he got me out of the hospital against the doctor's advice, he was only doing the right thing. There is a war going on Beth, and although I don't know much about this war, but I've seen what the other people can do, I've witnessed what they are capabl, of, so if making a few rash decisions is all it would take to make him win against those bastards, then I support him completely. By the way, I thought it was said that you couldn't leave your mate no matter what, how are you going to cope without him?"
“Yeah, the mate bond is too strong and it hurts to leave but I have to go before he hurt me or anyone else. You say he is doing the right thing because he is trying to save us all, but you are so wrong, girl. It is only turning him into a heartless monster and with the way he is acting, he is no different than known Ashford. Now shut up and stand up, we need to start packing up, we leave in the morning." I too her firmly.
“Wait, where are we going to?” Fiona asked
“Really Fifi, 50 you haven't been paying attention to our conversation all this while. Classic Fiona. Well, if you must know, Bethany just broke up with Dominic and we are heading to the city tomorrow to stay with Gracie. That is about it, or did I miss anything else?” Ciara asked as she turned to me with a smug smile. I ignored her as I helped her off the floor and led her to the car that Dominic had left for us. He wasn't standing there anymore when I turned around. I guess he must have gotten tired of glaring at me and he decided to return to the castle. At least he was considerate enough to leave a car behin for us.
When we got back to the castle, I noticed that the guards have all changed their uniforms, they were wearing sol me else tha looks nothing like their former uniform. Carl came up to me and told me that Dominic had prepared a room for Ciara, he arranged a room for her far away from the castle. I guess he is trying to get on my good books or something, I really don't care. If he wants to get on my good books, he shouldn't have hidden anything from me, he should never have lied to me. “I'll stay with her and keep her company. I need you to pack your things and hers as well, we are leaving here by 8:00 am, I don't want to be delayed anything or anyone.”
“Are you really going to leave him for good?” She asked back.
“I don't know yet, Fiona, in not sure it is for good. But right now, I have to leave here before I get even angrier. I don't want tc see him right now."
She nodded and left the room, leaving me with Ciara. We stayed in her room watching a movie. She still tried to talk me out of my decision, but I refused to listen to her. I won't let anyone stop me from on with ths, if I don't do this, Dominic would never take me seriously. Although, I think he was right to bring her out of the hospital. Yeah, I know it's hard to admit that, but that is the honest truth. I observed her as we spent some time together and I could see that she is beginning to return t her former self. She giggled and joked as we watched the movie together, she looked so relaxed and I couldn't help smiling along with her as the movie plated on.
I'll never tell Dominic that he was right all along, I would never hear the end of it if I do so. Then again, I won't let this stop me from leaving this castle tomorrow morning. I don't care whether he is right or wrong, I'm leaving here and that is final. A few hours later, Fiona walked into the room smiling like an i***t, I guess she just shared a wonderful moment with Dwayne and that is why she is so excited. She had finished packing their things together, she said the omega’s helped her pack it up and that is why she was able to finish up faster than I had expected. I had to leave them in the room so I could pack up my things from our room in the castle, I had to do it now because I don't want to have any encounter with Dominic before we leave, I don't even want to see him.
I confirmed with Carl and he told me that Dominic was at the gym taking out his anger on a poor innocent dummy. I thought he would scold me or say something about my decision to leave, but he seems to have enough problems of his own. He just answered my questions and left my presence without saying a word. I quickly ran up the stairs to pack up before Dominic comes back into the room, I really don't have the strength to face him now, I'm barely holding up as it is. I haven't spoken to my mom or Harriet, I haven't told them that I'm leaving, but I can sort that out later, the most important thing is to get my things out of that room before he comes in. I got there in record time and I gathered my things into my boxes, forcing them in without arranging them. I kept stuffing all my things into the boxes, rushing to get out before Dominic shows up. I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings because I was struggling to lock the first bag. I did not hear the door open and I did no hear him walk into the room, I got startled by the sound of his voice,
“Please Beth, I'm sorry. Please don't go."
