Aiden lowered his head when he heard that and the current sight of him hurt Lilac so much. She couldn’t believe this was the man she had been waiting for all this time, her mate, her soulmate… someone that she was supposed to spend the rest of her life with.

“The battle has been so intense. You will not be able to understand it since you were not there.” Aiden’s jaw hardened when he told Lilac what he had to endure during the war. “I was lonely and you were not there.”

“So, the first thing that crossed your mind was to find another woman to fuck?!” Lilac raised her voice, she was so hurt by his lame excuses. He essentially told her that he got that woman pregnant just because he couldn’t stand being alone and keep his member inside his pants.

“Lilac!” Aiden raised his voice too, but he didn’t have any valid point to retort her statement. “You don’t understand how I feel! You were not the one who fought those lycans! You don’t know how it feels to be a step closer to your own death!”

A tear escaped Lilac’s eyes when she heard that. He didn’t even apologize for what he had done. He was trying to justify his actions and wanted Lilac to see it from his point of view, so she could understand him.

But, what about her?!

“I have been waiting for you, trying to learn how to be a perfect luna for you when you return. I wanted to make you proud of me.” Lilac wiped her tears from her cheeks roughly. “I was lonely too. I wanted you by my side. Every day and night, I prayed for your safe return, so we can be together again. Not even once did it cross my mind I can find another man to fill the emptiness of your absence.”

Aiden gritted his teeth. The sight of Lilac right now as she cried bitterly filled him with so much pain. The mate bond still worked between them. He could feel the pain that Lilac had to bear, he could feel it in his blood; how he had hurt his other half so much. Her voice trembled with every syllable, because she was having a hard time holding back her emotions.

“It’s different, Lilac.” Aiden shook his head. “You don’t understand. Our situations are different.”

Still. He still didn’t apologize to her.

Lilac gritted her teeth, as she stared at Aiden in disbelief. “You didn’t even apologize for what you have done, Aiden, and here I am, thinking, at the very least, you feel a little bit sorry for me.”

Aiden looked surprised, he didn’t think about that. He was so busy defending himself and feeling high-strung, since he knew he was in the wrong and it was his basic instinct to make Lilac understand him instead.

“Lilac, I…” he stuttered slightly. “I am sorry.”

The word sounded so cheap to Lilac when he finally said that. “You don’t feel sorry, Aiden, you don’t regret it. Your words sound empty.”

“Lilac.” Aiden took a step closer and grabbed her hands tightly. “Lilac, we can find a way out of this… we can still be together.”

Lilac narrowed her eyes. She had this gut feeling that told her, she wouldn’t like whatever came from Aiden’s mouth right now.
