Chapter 9
After tucking them in and started to sleep, Rose and I left the burrow to a dead end to talk. When I looked at her, she was bit flustered.
"How could you tell them about the dangers they're in?" she asked.
"I had to tell them, or they won't know what happened." I answered.
"You had to protect your truth from them, in effort for them to not know about your past."
"It wouldn't matter, because the possibility that they would ask and it was best to tell them." I explained.
"You endangered them." she bickered.
"I'm sorry?!" I questioned.
"You endangered your children! If you haven't rescued Tyler, the man wouldn't come here!"
"I had to rescue Tyler with help. And I had to pay him back for helping me against Clayton." I explained. "Why are you trying to be acrimonious about my up bringing?! I had to tell them at one point and I thought you could also share a little up bringing to our children."
Blackberry and Primrose came into our picture and saw us argued.
"Don't tell me how to tell our children about my upbringing!" Rose exclaimed. "They would only know about my sad story that I lost a mother, being imprisoned against my will by Cowslip!"
"Until me and Tyler got you and your father out of Cowslip's. That was when we first met. It's nothing to be ashamed of about your past. I had to share about my family's demise." I tried to comfort.
She lost control of her anger and clawed me by my right eye. "That doesn't mean that you had to bear the shame of not saving my mother, like you couldn't save yours! Even your Autism."
Blackberry and Primrose were shocked to see a doe claw a buck and her comment. I couldn't believe that I would be clawed (or slapped) by my mate.
"Now Rose, that's out of line. Take it easy." Blackberry tried to reason.
"I still have to put the shame of not saving my family, you shouldn't have to put me into your shame or not having any shame at all, because you lost your mother , as you were a kitten. But don't tell me to be ashamed of my Autism." I rebuttal and hopped away, even passing by Blackberry and Primrose.
"Rose, what happened?" Primrose asked.
"Mason told our children about why Hugh was trying to destroy our warren." Rose answered. "He even brought up about his past experience of dealing Hugh."
"Did you not want him to say anything about his past or you don't want him to?" Blackberry asked.
Rose became silent. "We didn't even thought about making a promise of not telling our children about our lives. Originally, we thought we could share it when they're older."
"Did he bring up about his Autism?" Blackberry asked.
"He said he wanted to wait, until they became a bit older to understand. In other sense, he did not." Rose answered.
"He wanted to tell them, because it could teach them." Primrose stated.
"Teach them? How could his story teach them anything?" Rose questioned.
"It's about his history. I guess I became jealous about him telling them first." Blackberry explained.
Rose became a bit devastated about what she has done. "I guess I hurt his feelings hard. I never had to put my mate through with it. He wasn't rash when we argued."
"You should try to go talk to him." they suggested.
"I cannot. I still have anger inside me and I couldn't show my face to him, after what I said." Rose said.
Primrose thought and got an idea. "I know the right person, he should talk to." she hopped away. Blackberry looked back at Rose with a smile.
"Why don't you join her? However, be distant, but observe like a buck in the Owsla." she said.
"What about the children?" Rose became worried.
"I'll look after them, while you go, until you and Mason come back." Blackberry assured.
Rose left the burrow and followed the tunnel of the caverns, while Blackberry stayed back and watched our kittens.
Author's Note: Sorry for delay and more will come.
