Doubts (Part Two)
Thea’s POV
“When someone starts a sentence like that, it’s usually not something good,” Sebastian frowned, staring at me almost as if trying to figure out if he’d done something wrong.
I didn’t speak. First, I was trying to calm down from the high of sexual arousal. Second, I still didn’t know how to approach this topic with him. I was doing my best to gather my thoughts.
“You’re scaring me, Thea,” he said, which surprised me and made me laugh a little scornfully.
“Nothing scares you.”
It was true. The man standing before me had never been afraid of anything. Had things changed that much? What had happened during the time I couldn’t remember that made him fearful?
He stood up and walked to where I was standing. Cupping my cheeks he gave me a small, quick kiss. It wasn’t as intense as the one we’d just shared, but it still made my knees weak.
“Before, yes, but now? Now I’m afraid of losing you,” he paused, his eyes looking directly into mine, showing me the truth and sincerity in his words. “I’m afraid of living in a world without you.”
His confession caught me off guard. I never imagined I’d hear such sweet words from Sebastian’s mouth. But hearing them felt really good, like floating on a cloud.
After all, I’d always imagined how happy I would be when he said sweet things to me. And now it was all happening, and had been since I woke up. I couldn’t stop my heart from racing or those damn butterflies raging inside me.
“You’ll never lose me, Sebastian,” I finally got my mouth to work and say something.
I saw a flicker of doubt in his eyes. He didn’t believe me, which confused me. Him doubting and thinking I’d leave him was puzzling. Why would I leave? Especially now that I had everything I’d always wanted and craved.
Unless he took the first step to leave me, I guess I would never leave. I couldn’t imagine anything that would make me leave the Sebastian I had now. “Trust me,” I told him, holding his hands. “Nothing could take me away from you. Not even death.”
His eyes continued to move between mine, as if trying to find the truth of my words in them. After a few seconds, a small smile appeared on his lips, and I knew I’d convinced him. He went to kiss me, but I stopped him. “I won’t let you distract me,” I said firmly. “We really need to talk.”
He nodded, then took my hand. His eyes searched the living room, landing on the baby monitor. Without hesitation, he grabbed it
and silently led us to his study.
“So what did you want to talk to me about?” he asked once we were in his study.
The door was locked, and I watched him sit down with confidence.
“I want to see Kane,” I decided to say it straight out, like ripping off a band–aid.
Over my dead body.” The words were more of a beast’s growl than speech.
The calm atmosphere suddenly turned tense. The peace and serenity that had been on him completely disappeared. In its place was a cold mask and anger.

Doubts (Part Two)
I felt myself shrink back. Normally, I would take his answer like I always had, but something inside me wouldn’t let me yield to him. I couldn’t explain it, but something inside me had changed.
“I’m not actually asking for your opinion, I’m just fucking informing you out of courtesy,” I glared at him, letting him see my dissatisfaction. I knew this wouldn’t be easy, but I absolutely wouldnt back down.
“You’re not going to see him, Thea. That’s final.”
“For God’s sake, Sebastian, he’s Phoenix’s father… unless you lock me to the damn bed, I don’t know how else you’re going to stop me from seeing him.”
“That can be arranged.”
“You can’t be serious!”
I stared at him in shock. The fact that he would actually consider locking me to the bed completely baffled me. He had truly lost his mind, and all this just because I wanted to see my daughter’s father?
“I am serious,” he said through gritted teeth.
Sighing, I threw my hands up in frustration. “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t go. He’s Phoenix’s father.”
“Seraphina and Maximus can take Phoenix to see him anytime. It doesn’t have to be you who sees him.”
Was his hatred really that deep, or was it something else? I knew Kane and I had once had a relationship, but that was clearly over, just as his relationship with Aurora was over. So what was the problem? Did he not trust me around Kane?

Thea’s POV
“That’s not an answer,” I snapped, my patience wearing thin.
Sebastian’s eyes were like a tempest. Behind those emerald irises swirled an ocean of emotions threatening to pull me under, to drown me in their depths. I’d seen many expressions in those eyes over the years–coldness, indifference, even hatred–but what I saw now was different.
Just then, I caught it. A crack in his impenetrable armor. The real reason he didn’t want me to see Kane.
It was the second fucking shock I’d had today.
“You’re afraid, aren’t you?” I asked softly, trying to process this revelation.
He turned away, but it was too late. I’d already glimpsed the fear in his eyes. There was no taking it back now.
I stepped closer to him, gently placing my hand on his shoulder. “Sebastian, talk to me.”
When I felt the tension in his shoulders, I instinctively began massaging them. I just wanted to understand him. This man who’d spent years treating me like I was nothing more than an inconvenience, suddenly afraid of losing me? It was hard to wrap my head around.
After a moment, he exhaled deeply and finally turned to face me. For the first time since I’d known Sebastian, I saw uncertainty in his eyes. “You’re right, Thea. I am afraid,” he sighed, almost wearily. Afraid you’ll fall in love with him. Afraid you’ll choose him over me, the way I chose Aurora over you time and again. I’m fucking terrified that one day you’ll wake up and decide I don’t deserve you, that I’m not good enough, and you’ll leave. And if you leave me, especially for him, I think my heart would fucking break beyond repair.”
His words and the broken look on his face brought tears to my eyes. The man standing before me fascinated me. He’d always been so strong, so confident, but looking at him now, I saw vulnerability. I saw that he was just a man like everyone else, not the cold Alpha statue I’d grown accustomed to.
“I’ve already told you I would never leave you, Sebastian,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
“But you haven’t seen Kane yet. He almost took you away from me right under my nose. If it weren’t for his betrayal, I don’t think you’d be with me right now. You would belong to him, and I would have been too late to win you back.”
My heart shattered seeing the pain, guilt, and regret mingling in his eyes. If I could, I’d take this heartache from him and bear it myself.
If I’d ever doubted whether his feelings for me were genuine, I believed now. Not even the best actor could fake the emotion and vulnerability I saw in his eyes.
“Sebastian, I need you to understand something,” I said, holding his gaze. “My feelings for you have always been unconditional. Even when you hurt me, tore me apart, broke my heart, I still loved you. I forgave you because I knew my obsession with you when we were younger ruined your life. Despite how cruel you were, I still loved you, even when I wanted to stop. I’m with you because you’re all I’ve ever wanted, and nothing could take me away from you.”
It was the truth. We’d both made mistakes. Some I would regret for the rest of my life. Yes, we were both drunk then, but it was my obsession with him that led me to that bar that night. My obsession that made me think it was okay to sleep with Sebastian even though I knew he belonged to someone else.
He repaid me the only way he knew how. It was wrong, and I hated that he made me pay for that mistake, but I understood. If I’d been in his position, I might have done the same thing. I would have gotten revenge on anyone who took me away from the person

I loved. We were both wrong, we both handled things in the wrong way, but I was ready to move forward and leave the past behind. Holding onto did nothing but hold us back.
“My heart has always belonged to you,” I continued. “If I truly loved Kane, or felt even a tenth for him what I feel for you, then despite his mistakes, I wouldn’t have left him. I would have been angry, I would have been fucking furious, but nothing would have
(2) taken me away from him. Not what he did to me or his imprisonment.”
Finally, the cloud that had been hanging over him began
to lift.
“You have nothing to worry about,” I murmured, stepping into his personal space, wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head against his chest.
But a small part of me couldn’t help but wonder–was that really true?
I pushed the annoying thought away, focusing on my husband in front of me.
“Alright… then you can see him,” he said evenly.
I chuckled at his behavior. He was trying to erase his vulnerability, trying to act as if he was allowing me to do this, but we both knew the truth. He couldn’t stop me from doing what I wanted.
I let him think he was getting what he wanted and, leaning against his rumpled shirt, whispered, “Thank you.”
This unbreakable Alpha had now shown me his most vulnerable side. Perhaps we could never completely escape the shadows of our past, but at least we could face future challenges together.
I was nervous as hell about meeting Kane, but I knew it had to be done, no matter the outcome.

That’s a ridiculous statement when she knows why Kane is in prison.
