The Unknown Lycan Princess - Chapter 131: Chapter 131

Roman’s POV
As I stormed out of that room I knew I just made a huge mistake. I knew and yet I just kept walking right out of the packhouse. I found my way back to the lake punching trees on the way. Trying to find a way to vent out this emotion that is rising in me. Never have I felt such fear and anger than I did when Beth and Piper were suggesting putting her in danger. The only thing I could think of was that I was going to lose another one. I just couldn’t handle that. I didn’t want any of them to see me breakdown.
I finally sat down and the moment I did I let loose the emotions I have had since the moment I found out Piper was my beloved. Guilt over Esmerelda’s kidnapping and death. Anger that my new beloved almost tore my family apart. Relief that she is alive and not the evil monster I was afraid she was going to be. Anger and worry about all the things she has been through in her short years of life. Anger at Beth for even suggesting Piper to put herself into danger. Anger at myself for not being able to think objectively about any of this. So much damn anger.
I want my beloved. There is no doubt about that. I have spent the better part of my long life alone pining away for the love that was stolen from me, and searching for anything about her. Now that I know the truth I can finally move on, but I hadn’t wanted to until now. How do I explain Esmerelda to Piper or why I even reacted the way I just had.
I sigh talking out loud to myself and say, “Why now? Why couldn’t I have been given any warning? She has been through so much. Will she even want me? Would she want a vampire as a mate?”
“Fate doesn’t really work that way and you know that Roman.” Ares said from beside me. I swear if I were able I would cause these gods and goddesses some serious pain for the near heart attacks they give out.
“Yeah well Fate may not, but Selene sure as hell does. I should have put two and two together when she visited my office earlier today. Piper has been through so much so far a little heads up would have been great.” I say petulantly like a child.
Ares lets out a deep belly laugh before he says, “What would be the fun in that? Well at least for us that is. You are worrying too much Roman. You need to go back and talk to her. Tell her everything as she has told you. I am told that communication is key to a relationship.” Ares departed his last bit of wisdom and disappeared into thin air. Leaving just as fast as he came.
He is right though. I won’t know anything until I talk with Piper. I never should have walked out the way I did. I can only imagine what she is thinking. Haven’t even had a beloved more than a few hours and I am already f*****g it up. I get up and turn to walk back towards the packhouse and I see Ethan and Alexi coming my way. I was wondering when the search party would be coming out.
“I know. I know. I am heading back now.” I said in hopes to keep Alexi from giving me the verbal smackdown I see he wants to give me.
“Roman, I am not going to say that walking out on your beloved like that was stupid because I know you already know that. I am glad that you were already on your way back before we had to get you.” Alexi said.
“Am I the only one thinking that regardless of her reasoning and circumstances she still stole our child and needs to be punished. Otherwise we will be having every person in this pack or out of it thinking that you can take our kids and we will just forgive you.” Ethan stated.
I snarled out to him not liking the idea of my beloved being punished. “Roman you know as well as we do that if she was not your beloved you would have agreed she would need to be punished regardless of circumstances.” Alexi said.
“Alexi is right, Roman. We aren’t saying it has to be as severe as it would be if she had nefarious intentions. She did not and that will also be taken into account. Beth will have the final say though on what her punishment is.” Ethan said.
As much as I hated to admit it, they were right. This is just a shitty situation all the way around. I don’t say anything and nod at them to let them know that I understand what they are saying.
As we walk back into the office I look at my beloved and see that her eyes are swollen and red from crying. I feel like an absolute asshole now. I rush to her side and grab her into my arms and just hold her. I whisper comforting words to her hoping that I could soothe whatever ache I caused her. This was not what I was wanting to have happen. Beth and the boys leave the room to give us some time to talk.
I sit Piper down and explain to her everything about my first beloved Esmerelda. “Roman, I am so sorry that happened to you. How horrible that the woman you thought was your mother would do that to you. Poor Esmerelda.” Piper said..
“That is part of the reason why I reacted so badly to hearing you being willing to throw yourself into danger without a thought to any of the people who would be lost if anything were to happen to you. The other reason I got so angry is because you weren’t even thinking about our daughter when you made this choice.” I said to her trying to explain as best I can without losing my temper again over the situation.
“Ou..our daughter? Yo..you still accept me?” Piper stutters out. The look of pure hope in her eyes was my undoing.
I pulled her into my arms while saying, “Of course sweetheart I still accept you. I am so sorry. I never meant to make you feel that way when I walked out earlier. I just needed to clear my head and get control of all the emotions that were running through me at the moment.” Then I crashed my lips to hers.
She didn’t react at first, but after a few seconds she started to kiss me back. This kiss is nothing like I have ever experienced before. I felt like my soul was being pieced back together broken piece by broken piece. I pulled away from the kiss first so that we could catch a breath. I placed my forehead on hers and gave her lips one last peck and said, “How about we go check on our daughter before we come back and talk with Beth and her mates.”
“Ok.” Piper said back with a small smile and blush.
We walked hand in hand to the infirmary and were escorted to the room Anya was being seen in. We walked into the room and in the bed was Anya kicking out her tiny little legs while trying to grab what the doctor was holding up to keep her occupied. I swear my heart doubled in size.
“Good timing! I was just finishing up with her examination.She seems to be a very happy baby, but I do have some concerns.” Marcy started in.
I couldn’t keep my mouth closed when she said she had concerns. I quickly said, “What is it doctor? Spare no expense in her care. I can pay for anything to make sure she is going to be ok.” Please don’t let the cruel hands of fate take this blessing away from us. I pray to no one in particular.
“Relax King Roman. She is going to be just fine. She is a little malnourished and dehydrated. As long as you feed her this formula for a few days she should be back to normal.” Marcy said.
“Ki..king?” Piper stutters out.
