Goodbye Dear Exes, I have moved on

“Why should I apologize to her?” Faye asked with a pair of fiery red eyes.

“Because you have made vile accusations against her?” Mike said coldly.

“Oh, do you mean the seduction part? But, if it's just an accusation then why is she afraid of her image being damaged unless there is some truth behind it?” Faye said in a bold voice, enhancing their anger. Darek couldn't hold back and yelled at her, “ I said APOLOGIZE TO EMILY.”

Faye smiled sarcastically at this before saying, “Look, Alpha Darek. You might be the Alpha of your pack but you aren't my Alpha. I’m not obligated to follow your commands. Is that clear?”

Darek pursed his lips before turning to me. He then said, “Janette, tell your friend to apologize.”

I looked confidently into his eyes and said in an indifferent voice, “She is free to have her own opinion. I can't force her to be sorry about that.”

“Besides, she is going to help her father in leading the pack in my absence. So, you can't force the leader of Silver Wing Pack. Be wary of your words, Darek. It can disturb the alliance between our packs.”

Darek and Mike looked at me in amusement. It was hard for them to digest the tone of my voice.Just then my Mom called me and I took a few steps away to receive her call.

My Mom was concerned about me as she knew I was living alone. She asked if I packed everything needed. I comforted her while saying, “Don't worry, Mom. I have packed everything. There is no coming back.”

After hanging up, I turned back only to find Darek and Mike staring at me with stunned eyes. With the voice filled with shock, Darek asked, “ Why did you just say there is no coming back? When are you planning to come?”

“Do you really care or it's just an act of concern?” I asked in a sarcastic voice before saying coldly, “Anyways, I have an announcement for you two. Today, I free you from all the promises you made me or my father that you guys will look after me. From now on, I free you from all of your responsibilities towards me. I let you free from our friendship.”

“Janette,” Mike stammered, “Why are you sounding so distant towards us? Is it because we have been ignoring you for past few days?”

So, they knew what they had been doing with me for past six month, still remained unbothered about it.

I chose to stay silent. Darek was the first to start explaining, “Janette, you know Emily was feeling homesick. She was missing her mother and needed more care. We were helping her just to feel like home. Besides, she is your cousin. That's why we were close to her. That's it.”

I smiled ironically before replying, “She was missing her mother. Her mother is just a few kilometres far from her, Darek. She can meet her whenever she wants. But, what about me? I too miss my father but I can't meet him. Moreover, I can't forget the fact that he died because of her.”

“You are being unreasonable, Janette.” Mike yelled, “Don't act as if we don't know what the real reason is behind your anger.”

“What do you mean?” I raised my eyebrows.

“You are being jealous, Janette. Just because you are seeing us giving her more attention to Emily, you can't tolerate it and being dramatic.” Mike responded. I couldn't hold back anymore. I was fed of my two friends insulting my feelings everytime. I then sighed in annoyance before replying, “ I think I should clear your misunderstandings here. Although you two are my mates, I have only considered you as my friends. I have never felt anything else besides the friendship between us. You can clear your mind from my end and pursue Emily as wish. I don't care at all.”

It was a tight slap on their faces. Darek immediately held my hands and pulled me in his embrace, saying, “You are saying this because you are mad at us, right? Janette, you are my mate not just a friend, alright? Don't you ever say that there is only friendship between us. It never was.”

Mike also hugged me from behind before adding in a hoarse voice, “Janette, you are my mate and I’ll marry only my mate in this life. I want more than just friendship between us. You have to consider my feelings towards you.”

They were eager to listen to my response. However, I broke our hug and held my luggage before saying, “It's time to my flight. I need to go.”

Darek immediately snatched the luggage from my hands as he said, “Let me carry it for you.”

“Janette, don’t forget to call us once you reach your Mom's place. Also, when you are done with there, call us. We will come to pick you, okay?” Mike suggested. I didn't reply, just let them carry my bags.

Just then we heard Emily’s moan from behind. She had fallen along with her bags. She looked quite pitiful while saying, “Since you two were busy carrying Janette’s bags, I decided to carry my bags myself. But, I fractured my legs now. Ah, It's hurting.”

Darek left my luggage and immediately went to pick her up. Mike too rushed to carry her bags. I smiled looking at them supporting Emily. I silently held my luggage and went for boarding without saying goodbye to them.

After sitting inside the plane, I took my phone out. I deleted all the pictures I had with Darek and Mike. I blocked their contacts, switched off my phone then closed my eyes, hoping to block them from my thoughts as well.
