Jason snarled at the insult from Sadie. Turning to him, I gave him a warning look to shut it. Then reminded him through the mind link that we still needed her help.
With a smirk, he looked at Jason, “Yes, I know that I am better, but the idiot is still a friend. A brother if I can go that far.”
Sadie doesn’t say anything, and it gets quiet for a while.
“At least give me the why, Micah. I deserve that” I finally said after a while.
Sighing, he faces me. “You know I always trust my gut, right? And my gut told me that Sadie was innocent. Even my wolf agreed that there was something about the whole thing that wasn’t adding up. Like for example why would Sadie make her move when you were about to be mated, when she had countless of opportunities before that?”
“Maybe because she thought she was running out of time because I’d found my mate” I responded.
“Again, at the expense of repeating myself, Lola wasn’t your fucking mate!” he spat.
Micah had never once liked Lola. While everyone fell in love with her and was looking forward to her being the luna, Micah was completely different. His hate for her was always apparent.
“No need to try to convince him, Micah” Sadie chimed in with a fake ass smile. “If he believes she’s his mate, then the better. That way he can accept the rejection and leave me the hell alone.”
“Not going to fucking happen, Sadie!” I said crisply.
She completely ignored me and continued. “Micah told me that she went missing after she rejected you, I can help you find her. I have among the best trackers, so it should be easy to track her down.”
My mind takes me back to when he had informed me that Sadie had been found dead. No wonder he had been angry at me. I didn’t understand it then, but now I do. He believed she was innocent and helped her escape. He was mad that even after risking everything to help her, she still ended up dead.
“You still had no right. You could have talked to us,” Jason said.
“I tried!” this time Micah shouted. “But none of you would listen. Alec was so focused on making her pay and we all saw the extreme measures he took to get revenge.”
“So, you decided to betray me and help her?” I asked. I’m still not able to believe that he went behind my back.
“YES! And you know what? I would do it all over again. It’s because of my actions that Sadie is still alive, that your daughter is still alive. Have you thought of what would have happened if I had not helped her escape that day? Think about it, you would eventually have killed her and, in doing so, you would have killed your mate and your daughter.”
