The night I was kidnapped, I received a breakup text from him and he had rejected me through our mind link. When my body was discovered, he was celebrating Selene’s discharge from the pack hospital. He didn’t even have the decency to reject me in my face and break up our bond. Throwing away years of friendship since childhood along with our relationship as if they had meant nothing to him.
If he knew the body he was about to piece together was mine, that I was the reason his Joy over Selene’s recovery was interrupted, he would despise me even more.
Beta Ethan was stunned for a moment, then let out a chuckle. “We’ve all been there. Any misunderstanding can be cleared up if you talk to her. You should do that, you’ll see it’ll help.”
“There’s no misunderstanding, Ethan,” Ryland snapped. “Elara has always been manipulative and scheming. Always making herself the victim. She fooled everyone, but not me. Now, I can see her for what she is.”
His words cut through me like the cold wind, leaving a hollow in my chest. Even after death, I couldn’t escape being bad-mouthed by him or escape the pain he caused me.
