Look Through My Eyes (Second bk of Acceptance Series) (Completed)

Chapter 25- Thomas (Edited)

I ran into the secret room where I knew that Sam was waiting for me. Guilt filled my body, and I couldn't help but wonder as to how she survived that pain mentally and physically. That pain was excruciating, and I didn't want to wish that on even my worst enemy.

I wanted to be angry at her because she did not tell me that Kerri was doing a spell that made me believe that she was having sex, but... a part of me understood as to why she didn't.

She didn't want someone to hear it and inform whoever was the bad guy. She knew who it was, and it made me angry that she didn't tell me who it was. She acted like everything was fine, but it wasn't.

I wanted to yell at her, but that stopped when I caught sight of her tear stained face. Worry filled my body because Sam had always been a strong female, no matter what had been thrown her way. So, why did she start crying now? "Sam?" I asked, looking her up and down. My body relaxed slightly when I didn't see anything physically wrong with her. "Are you..?"

Sam's whole body shook as she started to sob. Her eyes were red from crying, and I couldn't help but wonder how much she tried to keep a straight face when all she wanted to do was break.

Quickly, before she toppled over, I grabbed her and clutched her tight. I loved the feeling of her in my arms and loved the sparks that went up and down my arms. "Shhhh," I soothed, clutching her close to my chest.

"I-I wanted to tell you," she said, taking a deep breath, and I knew that she was telling the truth. She pulled away from me and wiped her eyes, trying to calm herself down. A couple of tears fell from her broken body, but it wasn't as bad as it had been.

"Why didn't you?" I asked, curiously. "Why did you make me believe that..." I shook my head, not wanting to go there. I knew that she wasn't a cheater, and I knew that I would have to trust her until she was sure that I would be able to handle myself, even though I was an Alpha.

Sam studied me with pursed lips. Her eyes flashed in annoyance, and I was feeling slightly guilty for causing her to become annoyed. Sam sighed and looked down, taking a moment to collect her thoughts. "There was this time, about four years ago, when I was at a party and had been drinking."

"My innocent Sam drinking. Really?" I asked, causing her to snort and roll her eyes. I couldn't help but smile when a small smile flickered onto her lips. My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but fall more in love with her. "Go on." I made a gesture for her to continue, causing her to again roll her eyes.

She sighed and shook her head. Sam looked up, and again, she took a moment's pause. "Ya, I did drink. Not often, but I still did drink."

I nodded my head, staying silent. I placed my hand on her hand and squeezed it, staying silent. I had figured that this was personal like not even Cel knew about it. I didn't think anyone knew about it, which was surprising because I knew how close she was to everyone in that little group.

Her eyes got this far away look in them, and I wanted so much go into her mind and see what she sees. "I was feeling... down that one night because you had been having multiple partners, and I kept feeling this constant pain." Her other hand rubbed the area where she has felt me having sex.

I stayed silent as she took a deep, shuddering breath. I kept silent, waiting for her to continue.

Her hand was in mine, and I watched as she fiddled with my fingers, something that I missed her doing. She looked at our hands and sighed, a tear falling out of her eye. "Garrett was there, and he was flirting away with me. He led me to a bedroom." She squeezed my hand when I growled, silencing me.

"Bu-"

"Let me finish," she scolded, looking up at me as if I was a child. "Then you can become "Macho Alpha mate"."
