299-Guilty Acceptance.

Maura Despair:

’It's okay, you will be fine here," I buried her, or what was left of her, in the shallow grave that I dug

overnight. The blisters on my hands were evidence of my suffering. The tears in my eyes were the first

hint of how broken I was on the inside.

I sat beside her body and kept staring at the grave, thinking about what I could have done differently to

prevent it. There was only one right answer to that.

I wish I hadn't freed her from Ubel's grasp and waited for Beatrice to come up with a plan.

Princess Beatrice!

"You were right. I am supposed to be her follower and let her deal with everything for us. She is

capable of saving us all, mom!" I cried in my hands, sniffling and going crazy. Here I was sitting all by

myself with no one to tell me, 'it is going to be fine.'

That's when I heard someone rushing towards the mountains and calling for me.

'Maura!’

Not just someone, but Zane.

’Maura!’ he called again. Hearing his voice made me hug myself tightly. The sad part is that he was the

one to blame, but I couldn't even blame him. My heart refused to hold him responsible, but it was also

certain that I was upset with him.

He knew how much I loved my mother. He should have been there to care for her.

’Hey!" He stopped right near the grave and frowned. ’What are you doing here? What is — what is in

there?" He sounded worried, which is why he was out of breath. I knew for a fact that a little run

wouldn't take a toll on his breath, but worry would.

’Is that—," he gasped.

"That is," I murmured in tears, shaking when trying to raise my head and look him in the eye. He looked

regretful. The realization of what carelessness had brought upon me was evidenced by the look of

dejection on his face.

'I —was drunk. I saw her wake up, and the first thing my mind concluded was," he paused when

recalling it, ’Why is this poor woman in chains?"

'Maura! I felt like an alpha king who needed to unchain this woman. The instant I did, she just stared at

me in horror and then ran out of the room. Feeling like a good person for saving someone's life, I just

left and went back home without thinking twice about whether what I did would only cause distress. I

swear I didn't know," he said as he kneeled down behind me and wrapped his arms around my body, "I

am so sorry!" he whispered while hugging me.

What do I say to him?

He didn't kill her, but he did unchain her. Maybe she felt the pressure of her dragon coming out, so she

rushed outside, but before she could transition, some hunters got to her and killed her.

Whatever happened, it left me without a mother.

An Orphan!

’She was so happy to be free,' I whispered, shaking at the memory of her being in pain.

’I am now alone. I — thought leaving that house would be just fine. Maybe I will taste the freedom with

my mother and start over without a fear, but now I am all alone!" I broke free from his embrace to

steady my breaths as I kept feeling this pressure on my chest that I couldn't ignore.

'Look at me," he then held my face in his hands and made me stare into his eyes, "you are not alone.

You will never be alone," he promised, while bringing his lips closer and gently kissing mine.

I didn't participate because I was just broken. If he had said the same thing to me a few hours ago

when my mother was alive, I would have been the happiest.

But now I was alone!

Maura! I am saying this today and will remember my promise. I will always stay beside you," he then

shook me awake when he gulped and narrowed his eyes in my face, "I, Alpha King Zane, accept you

as my mate."

His acceptance shook me into gasping. I never expected him to accept me into his life.

'Yes! I accept you, not because I am guilty or anything. But because I have realized how important you

are to me. You mean everything to me. Please, accept my acceptance so that I can mark you."

I was stunned and speechless.

I just stared into his face before I burst into tears, and he hugged me tightly.

’Who did this to her, and why?’ I started bawling my eyes out once I realized I wasn't alone. My mate

was here to share my misery with me.

’I will find it out,’ he reassured me.

'You know,' I sniffled, breaking the hug and looking into his eyes, "she wanted to find her pendant so

bad— so bad—," I recalled how she wished to have her pendant with her so that she could transition

into her weredragon form whenever she wanted.

'Promise me—," I then held his hands and made him look me back in the eye, "promise me you will find

her pendant for me? This will be her keepsake with me,’ I expressed my desire to have her pendant

found.

’I promise you I will find her pendant, okay?" He patted my cheeks.

’Yeah!" I nodded, "I, Maura, accept you!" I said, as I didn’t know how it would work for me. I just felt like

if I didn't rush into accepting him, I would lose him as well, and then I would be left all alone.

'Come on," he smiled, and then buried his face in my neck to mark me.

I felt his teeth pierce through my skin as he sucked a little of my blood before lifting his head again.

'You are mine now,' he reassured.

’And you are mine," I said, almost like begging him to never leave my side.

Well, he promised he would bring me my mother's pendant, so that is what I am looking forward to now.
