Chapter 43

Ace POV

I drove all night for Avery to turn around and say no. I thought she would be happy it was the

most selfless thing I could do. I was letting her go, letting her be free of me and all the pain I have

caused her. Yet Avery turned me down refusing to remove the mate bond, yet she took Lucy's mark

when I marked her. I hoped to plead with Aamon but he wasn't home, hoping he could convince

her. She removed the bond for Lucy But now won't take the bond for me, saying it was for Lucy to

decide. Decide what? She fucking hates me and I know the only reason she hasn't rejected me is

because of her fear of upsetting Tyson.

Her being mated to me was not only making her miserable but my brother. Walking out of

Avery's house I get back in my car. This was fucking bullshit. She doesn’t want me so I don't see the

issue with Avery snapping her fingers and relieving us both of the bond. She was not only punishing

Lucy but Tyson by leaving her tied to me.

“Ace?” Avery says chasing after me as I slam my car door shut.

“Bloody Hybrids, Aamon, where are you?” I heard her say just before I started my car. I tear out

of the driveway before racing down the street toward the highway. Atticus wasn't even talking to

me, convinced I fucked everything up and he was right. I fuck everything up, anything I touch

becomes ruined.

I refuse to be the reason they both suffer, refuse to be the one that ruins their lives. I didn't deserve

her and now realising that, it just made my mind up completely.

Driving along the highway leaving Avalon City, I know there is a bend with a sheer drop. Avery

wouldn't save Lucy from the bond, I will save her myself. I floor it, pressing the pedal all the way to

the floor listening to my car rev all the way out as it picks up speed for the sharp bend. I unclip my

seatbelt just as I smash through the barrier and the car is suddenly falling. It smacks the side of the

cliff and tips and I am suddenly looking up the cliff as it starts somersaulting when burnt almonds

invade my senses. Great I am going to hell, I think knowing that usually means a demon is near,

demons come from hell and I am sure that is where the Moon Goddess will send me for hurting

Lucy. I see the ground coming toward me at an alarming speed and close my eyes bracing for

impact when I feel a hand touch me.

“Fucking idiot” I hear Aamon yell at me before feeling a whoosh motion and a vacuum like

suction rush over me and my eyes open to see Aamon standing in front of me while I am sitting on

the hard ground near the busted barrier. I touch myself shocked that I am alive before then hearing

a loud boom of an explosion and a billow of smoke and flames appears filling the sky behind where

Aamon was standing.

“I didn’t believe you would be so stupid, do you have any idea how fucking stupid that was. You

could have died” Aamon snapped at me, it was the first time I had seen him angry at me.

“That was kind of the fucking point” I growl at him getting to my feet only for him to shove me

on the ground, I growl at him before feeling his fist connect with side of my face and my head whips

tothe side, black dots dance in fornt of my vision and I shake my head to clear it before glaring at

him.

“How fucking dare you, do you have any idea how many people that would have destroyed,

your brothers, your mother, what about Lucy?” Aamon screams at me.

“They would be better off without me, Lucy doesn’t want me.

I am just stopping her and Tyson from being together” I tell him.

“Is that what you think, how do you think Lucy would feel knowing she was the reason you

killed yourself, how would Tyson feel knowing his twin fucking killed himself, you think you are

saving them? You nearly just fucking ruined them Ace. Lucy loves you, your family loves you and

you doing stupid shit like this will only cause them pain while ending yours” Aamon says.

“Avery wouldn't take the bond this is the only way to free her from me” I yell at him, how does

he not see that?

“Yes because Avery can see the bond is worth fucking saving you idiot, if she wouldn't take it

from you its because she saw something worth keeping, not because she is punishing you Ace” I

think over his words yet I saw no way to fix this. Lucy hates me and it would only be a matter of time

before Tyson does too.

“Get up, get home and fix it, stop being a coward and for once in your god damn life fucking

fight for something, instead of letting Tyson deal with everything for you” Aamon says before

reaching down and grabbing the front of my shirt and jerking me to my feet.

“You ever do something like that again, I will burn your ass in hell for all eternity” Aamon says

before gripping my arms. I feel the suction feeling of him misting as I am pulled through space

before appearing out the front of my packhouse.

“Get inside to your mate” Aamon orders and I look around. I could already feel the bond

pulling me toward her knowing she is just inside the house. Atticus claws in my head to be near her.

I look at Aamon and nod suddenly realizing how stupid trying to kill myself was. I stopped

realizing I now had to explain what happened to my car.

“You aren't going to tell them are you?”

“No, as long as you get your ass inside and promise never to do anything like that again”

Aamon says and I nod I turn looking back at the darkened house before turning back to Aamon

only now he is gone. I sigh heading inside and hoping the front door was still unlocked. Thankfully it

is.
