Chapter 20: Guilt

Jerome

All I can feel now is sadness. All I can think of now is finding a way to apologize to Erica and her parents. I knew my words must have hurt both of them, but it wasn't intentional. I knew that there was no way they could both forgive me easily. I knew that having to know what I did isn't good because all I feel about that is guilt. I feel guilty about the way I talked to them.

I knew that she couldn't try something like that, but my rage and anger had made me believe everything.

I knew that there was no way I'd be able to ask for forgiveness and that I'd be forgiven, but I'm ready to try that out. I couldn't understand what was wrong with me when I said all those things to her. I feel the need to apologize for what I have done. I feel terrible, and I couldn't stop blaming myself.

I knew my words would have hurt her so much, and I'm ready to make amends. I feel angry at Mabel for being the cause of this. I couldn't stop feeling guilty.

Just like every other day, I woke up with a migraine, which was because I couldn't get enough rest. I feel the need to apologize to Erica, but I doubt that would be possible. I feel like I was lost on an island. I tried hard to block away the images of me yelling at Erica and her parents. I feel guilty, and I'm ready to make amends. I'm going to go miles to make sure I am forgiven by Erica and her parents, but first I need to beg Erica's parents for what I said the previous day.

I knew that I didn't know where I was in the pack, but I was willing to ask someone to guide me to the way to her parents' house. I knew it might be hard for them to forgive me, but I have a feeling that they would, but I don't know about Erica.

I sighed heavily as I rubbed my eyes gently with my fingers. I stood up from the bed and let a yawn escape my mouth as I stretched my body. I made my way toward the bathroom, where I brushed my teeth. I removed my clothes, which I threw into the laundry basket, which was in the bathroom.

I have my bath, and all I could think of while I was in the bathroom is Erica. I could feel the water hitting my back softly. I couldn't help but think of what she had done to me. I knew that she had given me most things that I lacked in my old pack. In my old pack, I was made to do menial jobs, which were required for Omegas, but I hated doing that. I have always forced myself to do that, and now I'm being treated like other pack members. I hardly watch my clothes myself here, and all I do is sleep and wake up.

I knew that I wasn't being truthful with Erica, and I regret it all. I knew that she was willing to let me out of her pack, but the truth is that I don't want to. I don't want to leave this pack because I have become attached to it, and not only that, I have an unknown connection with this pack that keeps urging me to stay in it. I would have left immediately some days ago when I fully recovered from the cold room effects.

I walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied around my waist. I made my way towards my closet, which was filled with various clothes of medium size. I couldn't understand how they got my measurements, but I guess they did that while I was unconscious. I stared at my clothes, and I took out a pair of black jeans and a blue shirt. I dried my body with the towel tied around my waist, and I wore the clothes I had selected earlier.

I sat on the bed waiting for the arrival of the lady who always brings my food. The lady arrived shortly, and I could smell a distant smell of baked beans from the plate in her hand. I knew with no doubt that's what she brought.

"Good morning," she greeted, her head bowed.

"Morning, what's up for breakfast?" I asked, and she sighed heavily before replying.

"Beacons and eggs," she said, and I smiled at her before collecting the plate from her.

I devoured the food angrily, and I handed the plate back to her. She gave me the water she had brought along, and I gulped it down.

"Do you take Erica's food to her room?" I asked curiously because since the day we both started having arguments and me being in this pack, she would always take Erica's food to her room, but I doubt if that's what would happen. I had always wanted to know why she doesn't eat at the dining hall like before.

"No, I didn't. "She went to the dining hall to eat," I heard her say, and I nodded. I couldn't help but feel something fishy going on. I knew with no doubt that my words had made her angry. I knew that she had to make some decisions, and I knew whatever they were, they weren't going to sit well with me. I felt a shiver of nervousness run down my spine.

"I need a favor from you," I said to her, and she looked at me with curiosity.

"I will do it if it's in my power," she replied, and I offered her a smile.

"I want you to take me to your former alpha's house; I need to see them for something important," I said, and I couldn't help but think of why I was telling her that.

"When are you leaving?" she asked, and I stood up from the bed.

"We can leave right now," I said, and she smiled at me before leading the way.

We walked out of the house, and the pack members mumbled their greetings to me, and all I did was nod at them. Soon we were at her parents' house, and I was left alone. I stared at the door of Erica's parents, complimenting them on what to do. I knew that I couldn't just go in there without knowing what to say. I knew that Cynthia was the one who was hurt the most by my behavior, but Stephen understood.

I knocked gently on the door, and the door pulled open almost immediately.

"Finally we have someone who visits us," Cynthia said sarcastically before opening the door, and she smiled, but it vanished immediately when she saw me.

I had thought that she knew that I was at the door and that she wasn't angry at me anymore, but I was wrong because the smile vanished. I felt sad that I was the one who made her sad.

"What the hell are you looking for here?" she asked angrily, and I sighed heavily, not knowing what to say.

"Who is at the door?" I heard Stephen's voice say something, and before I could reply, Cynthia cut in.

"Nobody is at the door," she replied, and I couldn't help but feel sad that I had made a lovely woman angry. I knew she was still angry with me for the way I yelled at her yesterday.

"I'm sorry for yesterday; it wasn't my intention; I was carried away by my anger." I'm sorry for what I said and did. I'm willing to take any punishment of yours. "I am going to beg your daughter next, and I hope she forgives me," I said with tear-filled eyes. The cold shoulders I was being given aren't helping me at all; it felt like I was being strangled by something or someone.

"It's okay, I understand," she said, hugging me, and I was caught off guard by that. I couldn't understand or bring myself to know that she had already forgiven me.

"Thanks so much. "You don't know what this really means to me," I said, disengaging from the hug, and she smiled.

"You can come in," she said, and I walked into the house, admiring every decoration in the room. I was awed by what I saw, and I couldn't take my eyes off the house.

"Look who we have here," I heard a voice say, and I jumped up in shock. I looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out to be Stephen. He stared at me with a frown.

"Good morning," I said, and he rolled his eyes.

"What do you want?" "I thought you said you don't want anything to do with us." He said it in a taunting manner, and I couldn't help but smile.

"Sorry about all that; I overreacted yesterday." "I was frustrated by my anger," I said again, and he smiled.

"Come over here and give me a hug," he said, and I walked up to him and he hugged me tight.
