Rosalie gently cupped his face, "No one hates you, well, beside the selfish bitch who was burned and now laying on the ground in the form of ashes."

He stared at her with wide and slightly fearful eyes. She glanced at him and sighed.

"Your brothers don't hate you, I definitely don't hate you, your daughters don't hate you, your son has no knowledge of hate, so he doesn't, your parents don't, your pack doesn't, do I need to continue?"

Dimitri frowned and buried his face in their pillows, "But the pack turned against me so quickly. They believed Eli over me."

"I know, but look at it from their perspective. Their Luna leaves for a reason they don't know, mind-links them sorry, leaves the pack and have the ties break, their alpha acts like Alpha Black again, another Alpha who walked out of the office after me tells them it's because you abuse me. What do you think they were going to believe? The evidence was all there even though Eli's reason was false."

Dimitri didn't answer for a little while, but when he looks at her his eyes were filled to the brim with pain. A pain that was rooted deep within him, planted by someone else a long time ago. She sighed and hugged him, gently running her fingers through his hair.

"There is no excuse for your brothers besides they got angry and acted foolishly. Almost like how you acted with me. But you need to learn to forgive them, they do love you. When you were ambushed they were worried sick in the waiting room."

He nuzzled his face into her neck and sighed, "But people can go from loving me to hating me in a matter of seconds. It has happened multiple times, what am I doing wrong? Am I just that cruel?"

"Dimitri...."

"I'm a drunk and the pack knows it, they were disgusted by me. I'm supposed to lead them, yet I'm either drinking or crying like a baby." He ranted.

Rosalie raised an eyebrow, "You've cried quite a bit this month but when's the last time you willingly cried before all of this?"

"Maybe ten years...I don't know...I bottled my emotions up."

"Exactly! You kept your emotions inside, you've been slowly destroying yourself for years. All this crying isn't from just this, but from all the pain you've kept inside for years. Isn't it?"

When he didn't answer, she knew she was right. She frowned at him, her heart broke as he just looked at her with the most hurt she's ever seen on his face. She shook her head and kissed him on the lips.

"You need to let go of all this pain and what had happened in the past. Letting go is sometimes better than holding on. It can cause less pain." She whispered.

He rested his head on her shoulder and wrapped his arms around her. He pulled her close, refusing to let her go anytime soon. She smiled while running her fingers through his hair.

"Thank you." He whispered as he fell asleep.
