INTRO

Howzit going, guys? Happy New Year. This book is a sequel to MATED TO THE EXILED OMEGA. I suggest that you read that book before this one. Either way, this book can as well be read as a stand alone. With that said, welcome to my first book of the year. I hope you'll enjoy it. xoxo.

PROLOGUE

"You were right. It is me, the one you abandoned."

"Ava..."

"Don't. Don't try to sway me! I've given you enough time. I waited for so long. I thought you would change your mind. But, you chose her! She's not even your mate! I am!"

Tears blurred my vision, my heart aching in my chest. My pent up emotions were straining hard and now, they were bursting out with untamed explosions.

There was so much I wanted to say. So much that I'd swallowed and suppressed.

"You crushed me, Keegan! I've always hoped that my faith in you would be proven right by you. But, again, you fucking disappointed me!"

Tears welled up his blood shot eyes, his face twisted into an expression of dismay. I wanted him to feel the pain he'd caused me, a thousand times over.

"I'm sorry...I was being a coward."

His voice cracked, a tear rolling down his bruised right cheek. I'd tried to stop Darian from killing him, earlier. But, at this point, I couldn't help but think that he deserved worse.

"I still love you. I never stopped..."

"Lies! It's all lies! I was stupid to think that you cared enough... Like a fool, I craved your affection"

"Ava, please calm down. You're still bleeding" my other mate said, his voice reflecting his concern.

I was starting to feel woozy from all the blood loss but I didn't care. I needed to get the weight off my chest. I was sick of it.

"Ava, he's right. You need to see a doctor"

"Don't act like you care about me, Keegan"

"Ava, please..."

"I want you to choose now. Make your decision, right now!"

His brows knitted into a frown, confusion etched onto his face.

"Will you choose to be with your mates or will you choose that wench?"

When I swayed, Darian grabbed me to steady me. His gaze met Keegan's, the tension between them sizzling. They were mates after all.

Swallowing hard, Keegan parted his lips.

"I-"

The door was flung open and in stormed the one person I thought I would never see again.

"Vince?"

I'd barely completed my statement when he stormed towards Keegan and knocked him out with a punch.
