Chapter 229 - He Knew
She grabbed furiously at her hair, unable to believe that this was real, and violently banged on the door. "You're so selfish!! You're fucking selfish!" She sobbed, painfully, and helplessly pressed her back against the door.
[Let him be] Selena's wolf, Elise, who had been silent for a while now, suddenly spoke, and Selena found herself sobbing more.
'How can you say that to me? Do you know how hard it was for us? We waited so long, we searched, and now you are telling me to let him be.' Selena shook her head at her words as she couldn't believe what her wolf was telling her.
[I understand. You're not the only one feeling that pain. I am feeling it too. But there is nothing we can do. If our mate doesn't want us, if he can't love us anymore, then we can't force him to. Love is not something forced, okay?] She explained, and Selena's eyes fluttered tiredly as she knew that Elise was right, but she was finding it hard to accept. It was just too painful.
[C'mon, we have to leave for the meantime. We need to let him be for the moment and allow his anger to subside. If he wants us, he will come for us. But if he doesn't, then there is nothing we can do] Elise smiled at her, and Selena slowly nodded in understanding, picking herself up from the floor.
She unhurriedly walked towards the door and halted. She turned her head to give the apartment one last glance, and the memories of her time with Victor flashed before her eyes. She used the back of her hand to wipe her tears off, then exited the apartment, shutting the door behind her.
She made her way downstairs with the use of the elevator and stepped out when the door was pushed open. She strolled out of the building and began to walk down the road, broken.
...
Victor, who sat on the floor with his back pressed against the door, brought his leg towards his chest and buried his face in his knee, then began to sob silently. He knew she was gone, and for some reason, he felt like a part of him was gone.
His wet lashes flickered, and he slowly stood up from the floor. He pulled the door open and stepped out, then silently shut it behind him. He glanced around, and on not seeing a sign of her, he began to assess the apartment.
The first day he met her. The moment they started living together. The days he thought her how to cook. The times she cooked for him. The nights they had a movie night and finally the moment they shared their first kiss. All those moments flashed before his eyes, and he furiously walked towards the fridge and grabbed a bottle of alcohol. He drank so much till he was drunk while crying, and finally, when his eyes couldn't hold on anymore, he slept off on the couch, sober.

The early morning sun rose into the sky, showering its refreshing rays on every living being.
Victor, who was lying on the couch, blinked his eyes open and rubbed his aching head as he sat up on the couch.
He hurriedly covered his eyes, which were being burned by the morning sun, and stood up from the sofa. He glanced at the bottles of alcohol on the floor and helplessly rubbed between his brows.
He bent down and picked them up, then disposed of them in the trash. He patiently cleaned up the whole apartment, and when he was done, he moved to take his shower.
He dressed himself up in black sweatpants and a white polo when he was done, then moved towards the table in his room to fix his hair. He added some oil to his hair, combed it, and perfected it with a gentle brush of his hand.
He stood up as he was finally done, and covered his feet in a white slipper, then moved to the living room to take his seat on the sofa and watch the TV.
The instant he turned it on, the first thing that came on was the news, which he instantly anticipated was about some kind of accident.
His face grimaced in annoyance and he proceeded to change the channel, but he instantly halted when he heard that one name he knew too well. "Leia."
He immediately stood up from the sofa when he came to realize that she was the one that had the accident, and began to scratch his head in utter confusion.
He gazed at the TV and saw Adrik carry her out of the car. His eyes glanced at her bloodied head and unconscious state and tears couldn't help but well up in his eyes yet again.
Without thinking twice, he immediately grabbed his car key from the table and hurried downstairs. He quickly got into the Ferrari and started the engine, then drove out of the compound and onto the road.
His fingers tapped nervously on the steering wheel, and his grip on it tightened. He kept repeating her name in his mind and raised the speed of the car as he felt that he was driving too slowly.
He arrived at the mansion in thirty minutes and hurriedly parked the car. He walked over to enter the compound but instantly halted in shock when he saw Kiesha and James also proceeding to enter the mansion with a nervous look on their faces.
"What are you guys-"
"You're here too!" The two turned to him, and Kiesha rushed to him with her hands trembling in apprehension. "What have we done, Victor?" She asked, and Victor lowered his head, unable to utter a word.
James walked up to them and grabbed them by the wrist, then pulled them along with him to enter the mansion.
The bodyguards at the gate, who recognized them since they had been to the mansion before, pulled the gate open for them and they stepped in.
They slowly walked towards the entrance, and the tall, huge white door was pushed open. They ambled in and the first person their eyes fell on was Adrik, who stood with his eyes fixed on them and his hands stuffed into his pants. It was as though he knew they were coming.
