Taming The Beast In Him

Roseline POV

When those words escape her lips, I found it hard to accept everything, the whole thing was so overwhelming, I tried my best to calm down, I couldn't believe that this was actually happening, so I immediately engulfed her in a hug, even though I'm not sure if she was truly my mum.

"Mum..." I called out gently, already overwhelmed by emotions.

"Yes sweetie, I had actually brought you here, because I'll want to show you something about your father that everything he told you about me, was not entirely true" she said gently, I can't stop admiring her Red floral dress, she noticed the way I was looking at her dress, before she curved her lips to a smile before she asked.

"I know you are wondering why i wore this colour..." She pursed before she cupped my cheeks with her palms, " because this dress signifies you, you are a beautiful red Rose, that its fragrance and beauty radiates the entire place" she said gently, which made me curved my lips to a smile, I couldn't believe she was the one who had giving me that name.

"Let's walk further" she urged, which I did, we started walking further, I noticed her hesitance, she we looking at me so intently, before she plastered a smile on her face.

"I loved your father very much, to the extent I was ready to give up everything for him...I was even thinking he was my mate, the one whom the goddess of the moon had fated me with, not knowing that by being with him, will be the greatest mistake I'll ever make..." She trailed as her eyes blurred with tears, while looking at me with nothing but pain, she stared at me before she managed to plaster a smile on her face, she looks so tender and loving that I can't help it anymore. "He was very greedy and selfish, to the extent she was ready to send me to work as a slave to the vampire king, where I suffered under a harsh condition, through out your pregnancy, then when I was due for birth, I was brought back to the pack, where I gave birth to you and you were so beautiful that I wish I had more time with you, I loved the way you were so adorable, but I have Lost pounds it blood, that I couldn't survive, and that's how I died " she said, making me to took a deep breath, I can't believe that this woman have experienced so much in life.

"So my father was lying to me all along?" I asked with evident shock in my voice, she had a smile etched on her face.

"The reason I had brought you here, it's because very soon you will be mating with your mate and you will protect each other, and today he needs you more than you think I, so the only thing you need is to help him, because if you don't help today, I don't think you will be able to get another opportunity to do that again" she said, I clutched the hem of my dress so tightly, feeling nothing but immense pain, especially when the lingering thought of his lifeless body seeped in. "You need to fight for him Rose, I believe in you".

"But I can't mum, I'm so weak, I'm not strong enough to protect him" I said, my eyes welled with tears, I really want to save him, but I think he's even more better off without me, because ever since I came to his life, he has not experience genuine freedom of happiness, the only thing he has experience was pain, which made me regret of ever coming into his life in the first place.

"Mum I don't think I can't never do it, he can eventually Love someone else, because I'm not good for him, he's to perfect for me...so what's even the point of fighting" I cried, my mum eventually engulfed me in a warm hug, before she cupped my cheeks making me look at me so deeply into the eyes.

"If you are not good for him, then who is?" That one question, kept on echoing on and on, frankly enough I couldn't give her a good reply to her question, because I don't have an answer to it.

She smiled at me, " I know you love him, you are meant for each other sweetie, he needs you right now, so if there if anything that you should do is save him, because he needs you even more than you think he does" she said to me. I was overwhelmed with emotions, why many of my thoughts easily wandered how we started together, how he was ready to risk his life for me. How he walked naked with me through the forest, how he held unto me for long, while I was asleep, I felt lucky to have someone like him.

"You are right mum, I have to do this and I'll do this, I'm ready to show him how I love him".

"That's the spirit, and let the love you have for each other, be the source of your motivation and inmate power..."she pursed before he hugged me," you are more powerful than you think dear, so fight for the one that matters to you, I was never opportune to see my mate, so I married someone who was giving to me not chosen for me, but since you are lucky enough, don't ever let this opportunity slip from your hands".

"I love you mum".

"I love you sweetie, you need to fight" that was was her last words before I woke up, only to find myself still in the forest, I was already panting, while trying to keep a calm expression, I noticed I was still where I was,it was like meeting my mum, Just happened within the span of few minutes.

I took a deep breath, while trying to calm down, i noticed my mate was dragged, I immediately stood up before I said confidently.

"He's mine and mine alone, and no one takes what belongs to me".
