CHAPTER 82
MONTANA'S POV
He saw me too and said, "Oh. My. Goddess, Montana????"
I rushed over to him, "Finn", I laughed out loud, so surprised, "What are you doing here???", I said as I went in for a hug and we embraced each other.
"It has been a very long time and still, I can recognize you from anywhere," He said, "And of course", he took my hand in his and twirled me around, "You look dazzling as always."
I twirled and smiled widely, "Thank you, you always know how to flatter me."
"What is going on here?", Lincoln interrupted us, "You two know each other?"
"Yes we do", I replied, while looking at Finn who was also looking at me and smiling.
"You are the Alpha, Lincoln is meeting," I said to Finn, "I had no idea you were an Alpha."
"And I had no idea, you were a wolf," He said also thinking about that, it was weird. We should have noticed, "I have no idea how we missed that."
"Well, I guess we were just caught up in ourselves, getting to spend time with each other, so we did not notice anything else that what was in front of us", I teased a bit as Finn chuckled.
I did have an intention of making Lincoln jealous, but aside from that, I was pleased to see Finn again.
Lincoln cleared his throat, "Alpha Finn, we should get to work."
"Of course, Alpha Lincoln," Finn said.
"And I will let you guys do your Alpha work and all," I said as I decided to leave, but Finn stopped me.
"Your number, we should meet and catch up on things," he said, but then he looked at me with warning eyes, "You are not going to do what you did the last time, are you?"
"What did I- ohhh", I chuckled, "I think I am back for good, I will not be disappearing again…maybe."
And so we exchanged contacts and I went back inside, excusing Finn and Lincoln.
ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV
They hugged. In front of me, he touched her, hugged her.
Right now, I was feeling like not having anything to do with him, but let me not let my emotions cloud my judgements, at least not right now.
"My office," I said to Alpha Finn as we both went in, "So how do you know Montana?", I asked.
"We met in New Orleans, we became friends", He paused for a second, "I am not sure if I should say there can be something more though."
I sucked in a breath, "She is the mother to my kids, that is why I am asking", I turned and gave him a fake smile.
"Your kids?", Alpha Finn asked, looking very surprised.
"She did not tell you about our kids?", I asked him, "I guess you both were not as close then, she always loves talking about them."
"I see", Alpha Finn said as we walked, and I invited him into my office.
"Please, take a sit, the sooner we get started, the faster we get done," I told him as I took my sit too.
We were going to be discussing some kind of alliance and land.
We discussed for about half an hour and finally brought my hand forth for a shake, "Thank you for coming, Alpha Finn, I look forward to working with you."
"And so do I," He said, shaking my hand and then leaving.
My guards were to see him out.
"So they know each other," I said to myself.
What was this feeling I felt, this pinch in my heart, my chest. It was so annoying, seeing them all huggy and whatever.
They even flirted in front of me if the hugging part was not enough.
Montana will not even look at me. She did not even seem that happy when she saw me. I guess I remind her of a painful past.
I needed to talk to her.
I got up and found myself going to her room. I embraced myself and knocked.
The door opened, and she looked like she had just come out from the shower, which she was, seeing her in her robe, with her wiping her wet hair dry.
"Yes?", She asked, so formally.
"Is it okay if we talk?", I asked her.
"I am exhausted right now, and I would really love to get some sleep since I have been on the plane for hours and have not rested," She said while avoiding my gaze.
"It is okay", I nodded, "How about tomorrow?"
"Yeah, sure," she agreed, "Goodnight!", she shut the door before I could even respond.
Ouch!
"Goodnight", I muttered, even though the door was closed and slammed shut in my face.
I rested my head on the door and took a deep breath, her scent, which lingered, seemed to calm me down.
I knew I was jealous, I was not even going to try to sugar coat how I was feeling right now.
I am jealous because she was so happy to see another man more than she was with me.
She smiled at him but will not even look at me.
And it is painful. It hurt!
If this could hurt this much, then imagine how much pain she had felt when I was sleeping around with Ava.
Will she ever forgive me? Will she ever heal?
Imagining the pain Montana must have felt, even made me feel much worse, "She deserves better, she deserves someone who will not hurt her, someone who will not be a reminder of the pain and suffering she has taken."
"She deserves you", I heard my sister's voice say. I might have said my thoughts out loud, "You admitted your mistake, and you never stopped searching for her because you wanted to make things right. I have seen how broken you have been brother, worried, in pain for six whole years, you kept blaming yourself."
"Victoria!", I said, wanting her to stop.
"No. She is here now, at least try before you give up and lose her to someone else because as far as I am concerned, no one will love her the way you do and who knows? She might still be in love with you", Victoria motivated me while patting my back.
I listened to what Victoria said and nodded. I would never hear the last of it, where Victoria had seen my weak side, but still was grateful she talked me out of making another mistake right now.
I cannot believe I almost acted like a coward, Montana was worth everything, and she still is, and I will fight for Montana's love.
Just as she fought for mine!
