Chapter 192
Though my limbs feel all weak and are trembling, I push myself up and turn.
The first thing I see is that the door has been left wide open and James is standing in the hallway. His
gaze is locked onto me, eyes glowing fiercely.
How much of that did he see?
Aaron hasn’t noticed, he’s moved over to the window and is tucking himself away and straightening his
still immaculate
suit.
I’m surprised neither Aaron nor I scented him, but we were so caught up in each other, it was like the
rest of the world didn’t
even exist.
When James realizes I’ve seen him, he quickly turns and strides away, leaving me shocked and
embarrassed at what he might have witnessed just now.
My mind is a jumble of confused thoughts.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMy wolf wants nothing more than to cuddle up to our mate and is upset and bewildered about why he’s
treating us so
coldly.
My human mind understands all too well.
The mating bond is drawing us inextricably together, but that doesn’t negate all that’s passed between
us.
All the things Aaron has purposefully done to hurt and
manipulate me.
“This doesn’t change anything,” Aaron says in an imperiously
detached voice.
As if I need to be told that.
“What makes you think I believed it would? I reply bitterly, trying to conceal the hurt. “You think I can
forget for even a second that our son is dead because of you? But it’s not like you care how I’m
managing to cope with that.”
Guilt cuts across Aaron’s face, but its quickly replaced by rage, and we’re right back to where we were
before he f ucked me
over Tobin’s desk.
“You dare accuse me of not caring?” Aaron demands. “You,
the woman who stole from me, lied about your family and
what they were up to, and then denied me the truth about my own son? I might be a lot of things, Leah,
but uncaring is not
one of them. That’s half the problem. I care too da mn much.”
Aaron doesn’t give me the chance to answer, but spins
furiously on his heel and stalks out of the room, leaving me staring after him in even deeper confusion.
How can he claim to care and still do all these things that hurt
me?
None of it makes sense!
Maybe I made some bad choices, but none of those decisions
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwere designed to hurt Aaron on purpose.
I was only trying to protect myself.
Protect myself from him, most of the time.
He had to know that using me to get to my father, and then selfishly saving me and sacrificing our child
would hurt me
more than almost anything.
Why did he even bother to mate me and save me if he doesn’t
even want me?
Unbidden, the words he spoke in the heat of the moment
return to me, andl realize that wanting has never been a
problem between us.
But it leaves me questioning how he truly feels about me.
I would burn this entire world for you,
mine.
