Book 2: Chapter 45
Harriette's POV
Tomorrow morning. I will be leaving Alpha Rowan's Pack forever. A part of me was torn between staying or leaving but since the Alpha of the Pack wanted us to leave, I had no choice.
Still, I couldn't go back home. It's been a day since the fight happened and I didn't get to see Alpha Rowan again after I saw him through the window. The sadness in his eyes wore me out as though I was the sad one.
As for Alpha Darius, he was quick to recover since he didn't susiam any serious injuries.
Also, I hadn't gotten the opportunity to talk to that girl but I would love to warn Commander Mika or better still, Alpha Rowan about her but I couldn't bring myself to do that because would have no explanation as to how I knew who she was.
It would be better if they watched out for her. She was dangerous just as I was
After I left Rowan's apartment disappointed in myself for failing to make him laugh, I went for a swim in the pack's river. I stayed there for a few minutes thinking about what I'd come to be.
Long gone was my desire to fulfill the mission. Although I would've loved to go back home to Mother and my betrothed man, but at the same time, I knew I'd failed. It would be better if moved on to the next chapter of my life.
Maybe, just maybe, I would be able to embrace who I was supposed to be. Maybe if I leave with Alpha Darius and Luna Angela, I will finally get to have an answer to the questions lodged in my heart.
I've been questioning who I am these days unlike before and so has Ella. We wanted to know our roots, who we were, and where we came from. If we go back home to Mother, we would never find that out.
"Are you okay, Harriette?" Ella touched my shoulder. I was trying to pack some of the dresses Thorne bought for me at the mall the other day into a bag.
I'm fine, thanks, Ella, I told her.
"Are you worried about something?"
I shook my head. She glared at me.
"Fine! I'm a bit reluctant about leaving," I told her truthfully.
"Me too," she confessed. "But I believe if we love it here, we'll also love it at the new pack."
"I know,"
"How about this? Why don't you try talking to Alpha Rowan tonight?" She suddenly said.
"Why would I do that?"
She smiled. I'm a bit reluctant about leaving because of the friends I've made here and how I get to live the way I want, not -the way Mother wants but you're very reluctant to leave because of Rowan, am I wrong?"
I gave her a cold stare. "Of course, you're very wrong."
She laughed. "Try to talk to him, it might change some things but please, no matter what, I'm leaving with those people tomorrow. I want to explore other packs too,"
She answered excitedly
I shook my head at her curiosity. Ella was changing into a smart differences when we first came here, I realized now that she did

I shook my head at her curiosity. Ella was changing into a smart woman right in front of my eyes. Although we had our differences when we first came here, I realized now that she didnt do anything without a reason.
Reluctantly, I took Ella's advice.
I went in search of Alpha Darius even though it was late at night By the time I found him, it was almost ten in the evening.
He was in the dining hall talking to Gideon. Once Gideon noticed me, he waved and I waved back. Alpha Rowan turned around, saw me, and looked away.
"Hi Harriette," Gideon came to me once he was done talking to Alpha Rowan.
“Hi”
I looked around him to see that Rowan was leaving.
"How have you been?" He asked.
I need to go, sorry,
I apologized because I saw the way his demeanor changed.
I went after Rowan. He was walking really fast and I was struggling to catch up with him. By the time I met up with him, he had walked into the Alpha's residence. His men didn't stop me as I followed him, which was suspicious, but I gave it no second thought.
He walked into his apartment and I stopped at the door. I couldn't go past the door. It was as though a line was there stopping me from going after
him.
I bit down on my bottom lip. I raised my hand to knock on the door but I stopped myself.
I placed my back against the wall and kept staring at the painting on the opposite wall. It was of a girl and her mother, standing in the middle of the road, and on the other side of the road was her father.
How did I know this?
Because an image came to my head and it was of Luna Angela and Alpha Darius. The girl in the painting was me. I looked down at my feet and kept pushing hard at the memory so it would make sense to me.
Then, it finally did.
When I looked up again, I was staring at Alpha Rowan.
"You cry a lot these days, Harriette,”
He said.
I nodded. "Sorry," I quickly apologized.
He lifted his finger and touched my face. He did what he wasn't able to do that day in the arena.
"Why are you crying this time? Cry baby,"
I pointed to the painting. “I think remember but I don't know it's right or wrong."
He knew what I was talking about quite alright. "You were six back then. It's okay if your memory of that moment is distorted,"
He answered.NôvelDrama.Org content.
He was right. “I still doubt if I'm their child,” I told him.
"It's okay to have your doubts. It's okay to not accept your truth because it's tough doing that. It's easier living in a lie than living in the truth, no one would blame you if you have doubts. Just follow your heart,"
He advised me.
"Thank you."
He nodded, still staring at me. I finally summoned the courage to stare back at him too. We kept looking at each other for a while. It was as though the world around ine was floating
"I think you should go talk to them and see if what you remember is right or wrong."
He dismissed me.
"Can I come in!" I suddenly asked.
He turned to me. "I don't think you should come in, Harriette. It's too dangerous,"
Did he know? Did he find out that I was in his pack for his life?
"You know, don't you?"
He didn't say anything. His silence gave me both an answer and a scare. Was that why he wanted me to leave his pack?
"I'm not going to hurt you," I promised. "I didn't come here tonight to hurt you,"
He smirked. "When I said it
