I kept my eyes on them even though seeing them and their kids together broke me. I felt a painful twitch in the depths of my soul when she muttered, “Yes, I’ll marry and mate with you.”

Don’t break right here. Don’t, Raiden….

I chanted to myself while almost everyone in the arena cheered in celebration of what I never had with Aurelia… No. I had it. I just threw it out the window with my own hands.

My eyes stung as pain and anger mixed perfectly together within me when Tristan pulled her into him, kissing her deeply and slowly… as if they were oblivious to the presence of the rest of us.

I could sense my pack’s grief as my members witnessed another man claiming my destined mate whose rejection I still haven’t accepted. Gosh! My soul hurts. It has been since yesterday. I tried to but I couldn’t put an end to the grief.
