View MoreI tugged at the shiny blue dress I had on for like the millionth time as I stood at the entrance of the hotel with Jax waiting for God knows what.I have no idea how on earth Jax had managed to persuade me into coming here with him considering everything that had happened in the past few hours.I really should do a better job at being mad.I sighed and tugged at the dress again, shifting on my feet uncomfortably.It was really absurd everytime u think about my life as it is now - which was almost every second - so absurd that I'd have laughed if I wasn't the victim of the whole craziness.First I get rejected.Then I have sex with my gay best friend.Then I find out he's not gay, but a spy from another pack. Then he goes ahead to tell me he loves me and proposes to me.Madness. Total madness, honestly.Dear goddess, what next? What would come out next to mock me and the joke I've obviously become to the universe?“No matter how hard you tug, the dress won't get lower than that” Jax sa
The headache that I woke up to was maddening, and I groaned, shutting my eyes tighter as the pain settled in fully, making me feel like I was being hit over the head.Hungover? Check ✓✓.I gradually opened my eyes and bit down a groan as my eyes slowly adjusted to the brightness of the room..When I turned and gasped again when I saw Jax sitting on a chair beside my bed and staring at me with a blank expression.“What are you doing here?” I asked to pull up my blankets and groaned at the headache.Jax just responded by tilting his head, that blank expression still on his face.There was something oddly different about him today. I can't quite pin my hand on it, but he looked different.He felt different.It wasn't just the look but his whole aura now feels more intense and brooding.“Good morning to you too, sunshine,” he said with a deep voice that made me shiver and I gave myself a mental pinch, “do you even remember anything that happened last night?”Do I even remember — what was
A searing pain crashed into me and my hand instantly flew to my burning chest.Impossible.This has to be - it's impossible.But the pain I was feeling was too real for me to assume that this was a dream.The pain was so nerve wrecking it could have brought me to my knees if I wasn't sitting down.“Why?” I gasped staring at Roy but he didn't look concerned, not even a little bit. The gaze he gave me was a cold one.“You know you've got to accept it so the pain can be reduced,don't you?”Accept it?I have to accept his rejection?Tears slipped down my eyes.Accepting it would make this real.Accepting it would mean that Roy is no longer mine - after years of loving him, remoulding my life, myself to fit into what he wants, years of making my whole revolve around him because I loved him.Accepting it would mean throwing all that away — and the question was if I am ready to do that.If I'm ready to throw it all away.“I have somewhere to be, Selene. Just accept it and go home please. No
“And why aren't you yet ready for your date?” Jax asked as I walked out of the room.I raised my brow, looking down at myself- at the red gown I had on.What does he mean not ready?“What are you talking about? I am ready.”He scoffed, “Okay.”“If you've got anything to say, fucking spit it out.”Jax sighed and dropped the book he was reading on the table to face me. “Today is your two year anniversary, and if my guess is correct, you suspect that your boyfriend is gonna propose today.”I nodded with a grin, the thought sending butterflies in my belly all over again. “Not just suspect. I saw a ring with him a few days back and he's been acting so weird so yeah - I know for sure that he's gonna propose.”Something flashed in Jax's eyes but disappeared so quickly, I thought I must have imagined it.“Okay. And you are going, in that?!”I looked at my dress again, “I do not understand what you mean. This happens to be one of my favourite dresses. Roy got it for me some months back.”“An
