Chapter 333: Departure

Levine

The present

"I trusted you and you deceived me. you did this all for your selfish reasons, you never wanted Blue to know about his mother. All you cared about was eliminating her and now you want to do the same to her son,’’ I shout so loud. My heart is pounding, it feels like it is about to explode. I have tried to live a just life but at the end of it all, I trust the wrong people.

I trusted my sister once upon a time and she betrayed me by killing our parents. I always knew that Badger was a selfish motherfucker but in my time of desperation, I trusted him again and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I created the association to do things the right way. Everyone in the coven knew how she was. They all knew the kind of person my sister was and they all wanted her out. This was not some spontaneous move. I have been planning this all for a year and Badger found out about it. he threatened to out me. I didn’t have a choice but to join forces with him. no one was worse than Analise. I always thought she was a monster and maybe a tiny part of me was glad that she was dead. I mean, all the things she has done in all these years.

Maybe that is why I decided to join Badger, I decided to trust him because of Major. Somehow, over the years, he became important to me. At first, he was just a kid in Blue’s class but eventually, I started to feel things for him. I didn’t want the people of this coven. I thought I was doing the right thing but in the end, I trusted someone that might even be worse than Analise.

"This is for the greater good,’’ he pauses and then gives me a wicked smile "one that you will not be a part of anymore,’’ his wicked smile makes me even more terrified of this situation. I take a step away from him because I know that if he wanted to kill me, he could with the snap of his fingers. The forbidden room had become one that Badger was accustomed to. Analise got very lazy after she became the chief. I mean, she had everything she always wanted. She had the perfect family—even though Blue would never think that and then she had the power. No one could challenge her, not like she even cared. She has had a lot of death threats and I have always been there to protect her. Even through it all, I ended up saving her. now she is dead because of my help.

My legs move on their own. he is still smiling; he knows that I can never outrun him. he probably just likes the chase. This is nothing to him and I hope that rex sees this. I hope he feels me right now so that he can know. I already know that I am not going to make it. betraying badger by reaching out to Blue means the end for me. I run out of the room and his footsteps are loud and clear in my head. I know that he is following me. I don’t know where to go. I don’t have any fight left in me. Using Rex was a way to reach out to Blue. that was the plan all along. I wanted him to know all the things that his mother had done. I brought him back to the coven because I wanted him to see who his mother really was. He would have been a better leader than she ever was. I saw the potential in him, I gave him all the love that his mother lacked and now he will see me as the monster that killed his mother and hurt his mate. he would never understand. He will never know that all I did was for him.

I run out of the house and I keep running until I get to the woods. This is the part of the estate that is just a vast land. I keep running even though I know that Badger will always be able to find me. I run because I don’t want to die yet. I don’t want to die until I save him. I don’t want him to fall into the same faith that his mother did. He is a better person and he deserves more. He deserves to know.

I keep running as fast as I can. I know the end of this trail I know the hill. I know it might not be a good idea to run into a dead end.

"You know you can’t run away from me,’’ his voice echoes through the trees. I know the sound is coming from my head. I know that because just as I am connected to rex right now, he is connected to me. I always knew that using dark magic will have repercussions. I was so against it. I let him use me to open the doors and now this is where we are. There is a cycle. One that I put Rex in. I didn’t mean to. I didn’t mean to hurt him but I guess this is all my fault. I stop running and grab onto a tree. My breath is heavy, my heart is racing, my fingers are shaking. I know what is happening and I don’t know what to do.

"I am sorry, I am so sorry,’’ I send a message to him. I know that he can hear me. I know that he can feel me "do not use the book, whatever you do, don’t use the book,’’ I warn them. I know what would happen if they give in to the easy way. Dark magic never ends well. I mean, I am an example.

Analise is another example.

"You must think that I am a fool,’’ I freeze because I know that he is behind me. I knew that running was pointless. He would always find me.

"I hate you, Badger,’’ I stand upright and turn around. I am just a few feet away from the cliff. I know what I need to do. Once I am dead, all ties to Rex will be cut off. he will be free from Badger. I need to do one last thing for them. I need to make up for all the hurt I have caused them. I take slow steps until I am just at the edge. Badger doesn’t even flinch, there is still a smile on his face. he never loved me. all those years, my crush on him. the butterflies I had for this man, all for fucking nothing.

"I am sorry it had to come to this,’’ he says as he walks over to me. the veins on his neck are darker. They have spread. The darkness is eating him up and he doesn’t even know it. I can see his end and he might think it will be victorious but I know that it will be terrible. I know that he will not win.

Blue is stronger than he thinks. He will defeat him. Do the things that I failed at. His heart is pure. There is no anger inside it. he will do this the pure way and succeed. I am so sure of that. I look to the edge of the cliff, I see the rocks, I could never survive this jump but for the first time in my life, I am looking forward to this. I am ready to die. There is nothing else I can do here. I am too weak and as Badger said—too much of a coward.

’’You are the bravest person I have ever met,’’ Major pulls me into his arms and for the first time, I feel loved. The kind of genuine love I have never felt for anyone. His eyes bore into mine and my heart beats for him.

"I love you, Levine, I will always love you. so, you don’t have to worry about anything anymore," he assures me. I believe him one hundred percent. I believe in this love because he doesn’t want anything. he loves me just because and that is all I have ever wanted. I wanted to leave the coven to find my happiness and in such a short amount of time, he has shown me that love shouldn’t come with expectations, it shouldn’t be forced.

A boy so young, so innocent chose me for who I am.

As I take backward steps off the cliff, my last thoughts are of the man that I am leaving behind. The innocence that he once had will be gone the moment he finds out I am dead.

"I am sorry major,’’ I breathe out those words as I let go of all the pain, all the sacrifices I have had to make. I let go of it all and for the first time, I feel free.

I am finally able to leave the coven.
