Ours novel Chapter 51

Nala POV

I woke up grumpy, I'm sleeping in some kind of fur? I'm not sure I look down to see that I'm naked, and I'm sleeping out in the open between my mates. I try to slip from between them, remembering last night, how I felt like I'm drowning. Today it seems like judgment day.

The second I try to move all seven of my mates pin me down with their stares and I froze. I feel my stomach clench with nerves, how hard will they judge me for keeping all my hurt from them, we're supposed to be there for each other but I was too much of a coward to tell my own mates that I'm scared.

Christian nudge me toward the house I walk the walk of shame with all of them keeping my nude body shielded from any wandering eyes. Some of the pack have slept next to us to show their compassion, I keep my head held high nodding my appreciation.

Once we make it home, the guys go to their own room to retrieve clothes, while I stayed with Christian since he won't let my hand go.

We all regroup in Christian office and the door is closed and locked, there is no escaping what's to come. I take a deep breath and look at my mates, I see they are hurt. I'm the one causing them this pain when I was supposed to heal the old wounds not cause new ones. I'm a disappointment, a sad excuse for a mate and luna who should help her mates. I feel tears gathering in my eyes and I break down, I can't be strong anymore.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry" I say between sobs.

Aidan is the first one to recover from the shock and take me in a bone-breaking bear hug. I breathe in his scent and cry more, Aidan might be the quiet one but he's a gentle giant, a big teddy in the heart and I hurt him.

"Angle I beg you," Aidan says in a sad voice "stop crying please".

After a few minutes, my sobs became sniffles and I start to calm down.

"Sweet who hurt you" Kane says sounding angry.

"Just tell us his name and he's dead sugar" Kyle adds.

I give them a weak smile and shake my head, I'm the one who did the hurting.

"Start talking little one " Christian says through gritted teeth.

I take one final big breath and start telling them everything, I can hear the pain in my voice, I choke a few times but the truth has to be out.

"I can't do it, I'm afraid of letting you down, but I can't do it. I can't choose a major and go to uni only to have it all taken away from me again! I can't lose you, I almost did once....and I can't do it again. I can't let you guys down. I tried I promise I tried, but I'm too afraid of letting you down. I can't...I can't be strong anymore. I'm sorry for hurting you." I finish my sentence and break down in sobs again. Telling them how sorry I am.

I can feel strong arms around me, multiple strong arms, I look up to see all seven of them hugging me.
