Chapter 181: Punishment...

Chapter 181: Punishment...

His face turned cold when she said that, and he gently removed her hand from his.

"She.."

He took some few steps backwards, and faced the wall, his heart racing.

"I want to believe that is a joke."

"Joke? Really? I would joke with your mother’s death?"

He held his chest, a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"Wh.. how did it happen?" He bit his lips, ’Where is the body?" He managed to say.

"In her room," she palmed her face, and began to sob again.

He closed his eyes, and clenched his fists, how could she just have died like that?

"Please leave," came the cold reply.

She raised her face, "What?"

"Just go. Please."

"Why? Do you not feel grief?"

He clenched his fists till his knuckles turned white, "Please Nyx. I.."

She walked towards him, and faced him,, "Why? For what reason? You just want me to leave?"

"You would not understand," he said, his face blank.

She arched her brows, "What is there not to understand? That you can not grief your mother’s death?"

His chest grew heavy, and he felt his throat constrict. Rather than replying to her, he walked past her, and to his bed.

He palmed his face, and not a word came from him.

Nyx clenched her fists, and walked towards him, "Why are you sitting there as if you do not care that someone just died, and that someone is your mother!"

She removed his hands from his face, and flinched a little. His eyes were red, and he was definitely not in the mood for all of these.

"Please.. go."

She bit her lips, "Oh, I get it now," she turned on her heels, and walked out of the room.

His hands shook with rage, sadness, and guilt, "It is all my fault," he palmed his face again, "All my fault."

The tears were begging to be set free, but he didn’t allow them run down his cheeks, just once.

He stood up, and paced back and forth, his heart wrenching in agony.

He paused in front of the mirror, and said nothing, his eyes were filling with tears, and he shook his head, "Damn it."

He walked out of the room, and headed to his mother’s room. Getting there, he almost exploded with grief. The body laid on the bed, covered with a white piece of cloth, lifeless.

He didn’t enter the room, he just looked as the body from the door, his hands trembling behind him.

"You did not have to end your phase so soon, why did you do it?" He asked, his voice was more annoyed than sad.

"You could not just wait a little longer?" He clenched his right fist, his knuckles whitening, "Just a little more?" He pursed his lips.

"Why did you leave me so soon? I mean, there was still lots of things we could have done before you left. Even if you did not want to stay for me, you should have stayed for your grandchildren!" His face went red with rage.

Oberon was someone who was not too good with emotions, so he only let them in outbursts, or if he was too hurt, he would end up hurting himself, and let it out as coldness on others.

He gritted his teeth, "What am I supposed to do without you around? You even ended your phase without me?"

A tear slid down his eye, and he used his thumb to wipe it off.

"I know I am not as good as you are, at least I always wanted to make you happy," he raised his head to look at the ceiling, and took a step forward.

"All because I wanted to please you, the elders and those so called traditions, I had to marry Nyx, and hurt her. The least thing you could do for me was to at least be with me till I am able to win her back," he wiped his face.

He bent his head, "Why? What is this?" He took another step forward.

Silence followed. After a few minutes, maids came into the room. They came to embalm her body, with oils.

He watched them embalm his mother’s body, his heart wrenching each time, they oiled a part of the body.

He bent his head to hide his cold eyes, he didn’t want to scare the maids to think they had done something wrong. He turned on his heels, and walked to his garden. In times like this, he wished Mark was around.

Mark had told him he no longer wanted to be his beta anymore. He wanted to live a life with Selene as an ordinary member of the pack. At the moment, he had no one to assist him, no one to offer him advice.

He sat down, his heart heavy. He wanted to cry, but for some reason he didn’t. He closed his eyes, basking in his pain, he deserved it anyways. He accepted any form of pain as his punishment for all what he had done to Nyx, even his mother’s death, so he had to bear his punishment even with a heavy heart.

He gazed at the clouds, "So you just decided to take her away. That was not cool," he shook his head I’m disapproval.

"You should have refused. I do not care how you would have done it. You have a lot of power, you should have refused it. Now I have to live without her for the rest of my years here."

"You know she had to go," another voice replied.

He arched his brow, and whipped his head to the side, "Who are you?"

"Someone special," the old wolf chuckled.

He creased his brows, "How did you even get here?" He asked calmly, "Who are you?"

"That does not matter. I came to be with you for a while."

He looked away, "You look strangely familiar," he sighed.

"I should be, we were once very close."

"Oh? Do I know you?"

The old wolf laughed, "Sooner or later, you would realize."

"Just tell me."

"What if I said I was your father?"
