Chapter 20 Bastien And Arabella Buy Rings
Selene’s POV
Drake sits across from me, appearing surprised but sympathetic as he processes my revelation. “Bastien doesn’t know?” He asks.
“No.” I confirm simply, “And he’s not going to find out.” I rub the back of my neck, “Our situation has always been complicated, but Bastien is a good man. If he found out the truth he would never go through with the rejection, and I won’t have him stay with me out of pity or obligation.”
“For what it’s worth,” Drake offers kindly, “I think he’s a fool for wanting to reject you at all.”
“Then you’re one of the few.” I reply honestly.
He frowns, “Is the baby the reason you’re leaving?”
“It’s the reason I realized I had to go,” I confess, “But in all honesty I don’t think I could have stayed either way. I don’t want to watch Bastien marry someone else.” Hot tears burn my eyes, “And I’m sick of being the pack side show. I need a fresh start, someplace where nobody knows me. Where my baby and I can be safe.”
Drake squeezes my hand. “I understand.” I swipe at an escaped tear and he offers me his napkin. I take it with appreciation, dabbing my eyes. “If you want to come to Asphodel, I will help you in any way I can. We’ll find you a place to live, a job, we’ll introduce you to the pack as a distant cousin and never mention the Novas at all.”
I blink in surprise, a kernel of hope blooming in my chest. “What about your father?”
“My father is getting older, most pack business has been under my control for a few years now.” Drake explains. “If I tell him it is important we help you, on your terms, he will respect my decision.”
“I don’t understand why you would do this for me.” I state warily.
“Has the world truly been so cruel to you that kindness is cause for such suspicion?” From anyone else the words might have sounded self-righteous or judgemental, but from Drake they merely sounded aggrieved.
“Yes.” I confirm icily, “It has.”
He frowns deeply, taking my hand again. “I’m sorry, Selene.” He professes, “It won’t have to be that way for much longer.”
