I'm not cut out to be your wife. You need to let me go home, please?”
“Megan, I understand. Really I do, but you need to put yourself into my situation. If you were me and I was you, knew you were in danger. Would you let me leave? Please try to understand. I only have your best interests at heart. I would die if you were harmed. I was so scared when I realized you were missing and had been kidnapped for the Malibu Pack's Alpha.
Please, just stay until I know you are no longer in danger. If you wish to leave when it is safe, then you may.”
“Do you really mean that, Nik?” Megan asked uncertainly.
“Yes, Meg. If you wish to leave when it is safe to do so, I will have Stefan personally drive you back home,” Nik stated with resignation.
“Thank you,” Meg stated.
Nik watched his heart and soul leave the room. He felt as if his heart was being ripped out of his chest. It seemed there was nothing he could do or say, to change his mate's mind. She was going to leave him.
He would not live for long without his mate. He walked over to his desk and began to get his papers in order.
Stefan returned to the study as Nik finished writing his will. He stood looking at his brother, seeing the expression on Nik's face scared him. He didn't want to lose his brother, but knew if Nik didn't fight for his mate, he would lose his life.
“Why?” Stefan asked.
Nik didn't pretend to misunderstand his brother's question when he answered. “She says she has had enough of being in danger. If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't be in any danger. If I hadn't claimed her as my mate, she would probably have stayed safe. She asked to leave and I told her she could, once it was safe.”
“I know all this, Megan told me already. What I want to know is why you aren't fighting to keep her.
She is your mate. You know you won't survive for long if she leaves. Is that what you want Nik? Do you want to die? You know I'm next in line to be Alpha, and I know I don't have what it takes to lead the Trinity Pack, nor do I want to. Why are you giving up so easily? I've never known you to give in without a fight. Why now?” Stefan asked.
“She doesn't love me, Stefan. Yes, we have a chemistry together and in the eyes of our laws we are married. But she wants nothing to do with me.”
“Have you told her you love her?”
“Of course I have. Do you know what her response was?” Nik asked with a bitter laugh. “She said, if you love me, let me go. So that is what I will do. I will let her go.”
“You know what I see? I see two people in love, both as stubborn as the other. One determined to play the martyr and not beg; the other so scared of returning that love, then having her partner leave, just like the rest of her family. It doesn't matter that them leaving, dying, was out their control. What she sees in loving someone, is endless pain and emptiness,” Stefan stated. He saw comprehension dawn on his brother's face. His frown slowly turned to a grin, then outright laughter.
“When did you become so wise, little brother? No don't answer that. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart,” Nik stated as he rushed from the room.
“About time you woke up!” Stefan stated, using his mental link to his brother.
“What would I do without you, Stefan? Go and inform Harry to begin preparations for a wedding. I want the ceremony to be held in the center of the maze. He can hire caterers for the reception which will be held here,” Nik commanded, as he went in search of his mate.
Nik found Megan in the conservatory, sitting on a bench breathing in the scent of the flowers. He sat down beside her and took the hand closest to him, in one of his own.
“I have a few things to tell you, Megan. I want you to listen and not interrupt. If you have any questions when I'm done, feel free to ask,” Nik stated.
Meg inclined her head and waited for Nik to speak.
