**Chapter 13**
“What did you just say?”
The words hung in the air, heavy and suffocating. Sylvia’s eyes widened in disbelief, a storm of emotions swirling within them. Tears began to cascade down her cheeks, glistening like tiny jewels in the dim light.
“No! That’s impossible! The moment I returned to the Pack, you were there at the airport, waiting for me with those beautiful red roses—the ones I love so much. You took me out for those candlelight dinners, the kind that made the world fade away. And when I hurt my foot, you didn’t even think twice before carrying me into the hospital, strong and steady. That night at the restaurant, when everyone was panicking over the Rogues, you saw Leah there, but you only focused on me. You carried me out without a second thought, leaving her behind, even with that tiny pup in her belly! And now, you tell me the one you love is her? This is utterly ridiculous!”
As her words crashed over me like waves against a rocky shore, something inside me shattered, the sound echoing in the hollow space of my chest.
In that fleeting moment, the truth unfolded before me like a dark tapestry. Every action I had taken, every choice I made, had been a dagger aimed straight at Leah.
I was the one who had pushed away the only person who had ever truly loved me.
I was the one who had taken away our pup.
And even now, a selfish part of me clung to the hope that perhaps, just perhaps, Leah would find her way back to me.
I glanced at Sylvia’s tear-streaked face, and felt nothing—no pity, no warmth—only an overwhelming tide of guilt and regret for Leah.
If I could rewind time, I would never have ignored her. I would never have allowed her to suffer, not even for a moment.
But alas, time was a relentless river, and now it was too late.
Leah was gone, leaving behind nothing but the weight of her disappointment. She would never return to me.
The memory of that chaotic night at the restaurant flooded my mind. Leah had stood there, a pillar of calm amidst the frenzy, her gaze fixed on me as I scooped Sylvia into my arms and fled. There was no panic on her face, no accusations, not even a flicker of anger.
At that moment, I had thought she had finally learned to be the “proper” Luna, the one who didn’t cause scenes.
But now, clarity pierced through my fog of denial.
She wasn’t being “proper.”
She had given up on me entirely.
The disappointment had drained her of the strength to argue, leaving her with nothing but silence and resignation.
“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” My hand gripped my chest, the ache inside me sharp enough to steal my breath away. The overwhelming desire to see her, to hold her close, to plead for her forgiveness surged within me like a tempest.
“Chisel, I don’t want to hear you say you’re sorry! I want you to choose me!” Sylvia’s grip tightened around my hand, her voice thick with hurt and desperation.
I yanked my hand free, my voice cold and unyielding.
“Sylvia, we’re finished. I’ve told you time and again, the one I love is Leah. Do not call me again. Do not come near me.”
Before she could muster a response, I turned on my heel and dashed out of the room, my heart pounding in my chest.
Her voice trailed after me, calling my name, but I refused to look back.
It was because I had cared so deeply for Sylvia’s feelings that I had neglected Leah time and again. I couldn’t afford to make that same mistake again.
I raced home, each step fueled by a desperate urgency.
Memories flooded my mind—how, after our fights, Leah would storm out but always leave behind her clothes or her skincare products. A few days later, she would return with some flimsy excuse to collect her things, providing us both with an easy path back to each other.
My hands trembled as I threw open the bedroom door, praying that this time would be different—that she was merely angry, that her scent still lingered on the clothes in the closet.
But as I opened the doors, a cold wave of despair crashed over me.
The closet was barren.
No clothes. No scarves. No shoes.
Nothing remained.
She hadn’t left a single thing behind.
This time, she was truly gone.
I sank to the floor, her last words echoing in my mind—she had said this was her final chance.
And she hadn’t been joking.
“Take our pup…”
“Leah…” My voice cracked, a fragile whisper. “Leah, can’t you come back to me? Just one more chance? I promise I’ll change. I’ll take good care of you.”
Conclusion
In the suffocating silence of the empty room, the weight of my choices crashed down around me like a shroud. Leah’s absence was a void that echoed with the memories of our shared laughter, the warmth of her presence, and the dreams we had woven together. Each heartbeat was a reminder of the love I had taken for granted, the love that had quietly slipped through my fingers while I chased fleeting moments of affection elsewhere. The realization that my selfishness had cost me the most precious thing in my life settled heavily in my chest, a painful reminder that some mistakes cannot be undone. I was left with nothing but the bitter taste of regret and the haunting silence of a love that had once felt eternal.
As I knelt on the cold floor, I felt the fragments of my heart fracture further, scattering like leaves in a storm. The urgency to reach out, to find Leah and beg for her forgiveness, surged within me, but I knew deep down that the bridge I had burned was beyond repair. I had taken her for granted, and now I was left with the haunting echoes of our past, a reminder of the love I had failed to cherish. With every breath, I understood that this was the consequence of my actions, a silent storm of sorrow that would follow me into the future. Leah was gone, and in her absence, I was forced to confront the truth of my own heart—a heart that had once been filled with love but was now a hollow shell, reverberating with the crimson echoes of what could have been.
