Forgot Me Once Lose Me Forever

Sarah's POV.

"She won't find out if you don't tell her!" I heard Miguel say, he was with someone, and I grew curious and wondered who they talked about. I rested my left ear on the door to make sure I heard everything, even though they whispered.

Today was his birthday and I had wanted to surprise him with a pretty locket of high value...sentimental value, it had our pictures in it. And also his favorite vest and jacket; I got the presents ready, all in a well-wrapped box. I was so excited as I hurried towards his room, ready to kick his door open, only to be stopped by the suspicious conversation that went on and on.

"I respect you as leader of the pack Fortis...but I also respect you as a friend...please she doesn't need to know about this." I heard Miguel speak, he sounded more like he was pleading.

"You're lying to that poor innocent lass, you're deceiving her, and you claim to love her?" The so-called Fortis spoke, he sounded older...

"Who are they talking about?" I muttered to myself.

"And what's going to happen to Kate?" Fortis asked him almost immediately.

"I don't know, " Miguel told him.

"You're talking nonsense! And you rather stay with a human? A werewolf hunter, an enemy, a threat! Not just to you but to the rest of us!" I could feel the heat of Fortis' anger.

Everything was becoming clear to me...I didn't want to make conclusions but I knew they spoke about me...

"Does she know you're an Alpha, a full-blooded werewolf?" Fortis asked.

"Well, I'm yet to tell her," Miguel responded letting out a deep breath. "I wanted to tell her that today," He added.

"And you think, she would accept that fact?" Fortis asked mockingly.

"She'll understand..." Miguel's words trailed off.

At that moment, I knew that Miguel had a secret he was hiding...I remembered the frequent urgent calls, even when we went out on dates, his sensitivity to sounds, and that uneasiness anytime I spoke of myself, being a hunter, and how I had wanted to be like my grandmother, who could slaughter a whole pack of werewolves with her strategic plans.

"Is that what you think? Do you think she'll understand? Someone who comes from the family line of the most powerful werewolf hunters? Do you know how dangerous that kid is..." Fortis asked.

"I know...but Sarah would understand, she got to...I mean, we've been dating for two years, and she loves me." Miguel was so confident..

"Would she still love you if she ever finds out about the very night you slaughtered her mother?" Fortis asked and silence crawled in.

I didn't gasp...I just stopped breathing for a moment; hot tears ran down my cheeks; I covered my mouth; I was going to scream any minute.

It couldn't be, Miguel would never...

"Her mother tried to kill me!" Miguel defended, " I just had to do something, I couldn't run...she...she got me all trapped, and ...and," He stammered, " I just had to do something." He finally admitted.

"But that doesn't mean you didn't...and you know the funniest part of everything? Your Mom murdered her Father. The poor creature is orphaned, thanks to you and your Mom." Fortis said he scoffed.

"I didn't mean for any of this to happen..." Miguel told him.

But Fortis refused to accept whatever he said, just as I found it hard to believe whatever intentions he had.

"We both know that was what you wanted, and all these happened while you still dated her.

"Everything is different now," Miguel claimed.

"And if not for this cursed feeling you call love, you would have killed her and the rest of her family...but your love won't stop the others," Fortis told him as I heard him drum on a surface with his fingers.

"You wouldn't dare to hurt her..." Miguel said.

"Nope. But I would do anything to protect my pack even if it's to kill."Fortis stated clearly."And I hope she finds out that you'll be having a baby with Kate soon."

I felt as if my heart had been pierced by arrows with bitter poison. I felt weak in the knees...my lips trembling, my hands grew cold and I struggled to breathe.

A baby? I couldn't believe how much Miguel had taken away from me...I couldn't believe he had betrayed me all these while and still claimed to love me.
