Chapter 0228

She stands up, avoiding my eyes, and brushes her hair back.

She’s acting weird…

“I’ll go get you something to eat and drink. And then give you some medication for the pain.”

She turns away, and I grab hold of her wrist.

“Val…”

She looks down at me, her eyes sparkling with emotions.

“I forgive you, Jai… forgive you for what you did… even if I can’t completely forget it.” She whispers.

My heart skips a beat, and I really don’t care if I’m injured. I pull her towards me, and she stumbles

back, ending up on the bed, bumping into my chest.

She gasps but I barely register the pain as I wrap my arms around her tightly, not allowing her to get

up, my heart racing.

“I swear Val… I don’t remember it, I only remember thinking it’s you… I was drunk or high–fuck, I don’t

know. All I know is I thought it was you until I woke up and realised it wasn’t… It doesn’t make it right,

but I just want you to know there was no woman who enticed me or tempted me. I fucking thought it

was us.

I hug her from behind, burying my head in her shoulder.

I love her. I always have, and I have no idea why I fucked up or how. It’s all a fucking haze, and I truly

didn’t realise it was her, but I had been unable to keep it from her. There’s no relationship based on lies

or secrets. I had to tell her, even though I knew it could destroy us… and it did.

But even then, she told no one. Not wanting it to affect our relationship with our friends who were in a

relationship.

This woman is goddamn selfless.

Her body shakes slightly, and I tense.

She’s crying. Val doesn’t cry.

“Fuck, I’m sorry,” I whisper, kissing her gently.

“It hurt… do you know how it feels knowing I wasn’t enough?” She looks at me over her shoulder and I

shake my head.

“You were more than enough. I saw you. I don’t know how, but I truly thought it was you that night,

princess. I’ve always loved you, only you.”

She is the only one I desire, the only one I fucking want, and I still hurt her.

Our eves meet as she gently turns towards me.

“I believe you.” She whispers before she wraps her arms gently around my neck, burying her head in it.

My heart thuds. Not expecting this… If this is a dream, I never want to wake up from it because this is

my one true wish… and I’m finally getting it.

I slowly wrap my arms around her tightly, pulling her flush against me. Her scent invades my senses,

and I inhale her hair. I missed her, missed her embrace and, despite all she’s been through, she’s right

here. In my arms.

“I love you, Jai,” she whispers so quietly I almost don’t hear it.

A grin crosses my face, and I can’t help but chuckle, feeling elated. “I love you too baby girl, I fucking

love you too.”

There is nothing that can destroy the happiness I feel right now.

Life is just going to get better from here on out.

I just know it.

Thank you, Goddess, for another chance… This time, I won’t fuck it up.

SEBASTIAN.

And so, it has begun. The spinning of the arrow is now pointings towards the ultimate battle. I stand

here, calm and collected, with a mask of indifference and concern upon my face. A fraud among those

whom I love. I watch as my Alpha Queen tries to understand how it happened when she had done her

utmost best to secure him?

How else but with my assistance…

In her eyes, she has failed once again, but she didn’t.

She is smart, but she is too trusting. She would never accuse me, although I wish she would. I want her

to realise I’m just a traitor amongst them.

The moment she knew I was part of the Sable she should have shut off my access from everything, but

she put faith in our love.

I watch her as we stand with the security at the prison. Deep down I feel it’s breaking her, the pressure

of everything is chipping away at her, a tiny piece at a time.

She looks at me several times as if for assistance, but I don’t help her. Not once do I give my input

aside from asking a few mediocre questions?

You don’t need me.

I keep saying that, but who am I fooling? I saw her almost crumble earlier. She needs me but once

again I can’t be here for her. Once again, I’m breaking the promise that I made to her.
