CHAPTER 59: Lies And Cries
It wasn’t too long, though, until I noticed Traian coming my way. He kept on moving forward. His all-black outfit, which highlighted his gorgeous blue eyes and demonstrated how adept he was at carrying clothing, included a turtleneck and trousers. He approaches me while looking like a model. And I felt crying because I didn’t know now if this was me or the mate pull doing magic.
I feel as though I have been on illusions for several days since I no longer know what is real or not when it comes to my feelings.
He took my hand when he got closer to me and murmured, “Hey.”
I yanked my hand and said coldly, “What is this?”
He looked at my hand for a second before meeting my eyes. “Um… I prepared something”
He gestured the way. Without giving him a second glance, I walked toward the light.
And the view made me speechless. A pool of crystal-clear water is encircled by rocks and trees. Under the dazzling moon overhead, the entire area seemed to sparkle. The stunning waters gave off the impression that they were surrounded by magic, mystery, and tales. A large tent was set in the ground near the water with lamps around.
But at the moment, I don’t have any of it. Seeing him reminds me of the bond between mates. Of me being his mate. And most importantly, all the lies. The thick layer of betrayal lay in my heart. They all lied to me.
He was holding both of my hands as he stood in front of me. He softly pleaded, “Love, tell me what’s wrong.”
I sharply retorted, “Stop,” pulling my hands back in and moving forward once again.
“Stop what?”
“Stop calling me that, stop calling me love!”
He nodded, “Okay, okay. I’m sorry. But can you walk me through why you are like this?”
Only then did I notice tears starting to fall down my cheeks as I shook my head. “I want to go home.”
He grabbed my face in an instant and looked at me, asking, “Why are you crying? Are you hurt somewhere? Did anything happen-”
I shoved his hand away from my face, not liking the tingles that rushed to my skin from his touch. “Don’t touch me,”
He didn’t move while keeping his eyes fixed on me. I’ve never seen a pair of blue eyes as stunning as his.
“We are still okay earlier. I will not bring you home until I understand why you are being like this”
I brushed my tears away in rage and chuckled dryly. “Fine, I will tell you. I don’t want to be with you any longer and this romance is over”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
He inhales deeply, his jaw tensed, “Why? You said you want me, you said that’s what your heart craves, Jaidyn! Why are you continuing on ignoring it? ” he ran his hands through his midnight black hair frustratedly.
“Because it was all an illusion! I will not genuinely like you because my heart still belongs to my ex-fiancé” I stare into his eyes, “He is still in my heart”
I don’t know what’s true anymore but I know that it was the only thing that could make him stop loving me.
His eyes flashed with pain. He said, “I don’t care because I know that you will come to love me,” as he closed his eyes and took a big breath.
My hands began to tremble from the intensity of my emotions as I shouted, “I will not love you! I’ll never be able to love you!”
When his blue eyes briefly took on a golden tint, everything I had learned today was cemented. And I know I am not imagining it. He’s a Shifter.
I turned my head away and said, “I don’t want to see you ever again,” and began to go when he took hold of my hand and swung me around.
The very next moment, his lips were pressed against mine. His touch causes tingles to appear on my skin, and I feel a surge of lust. But the rational thought of my mind tells me that this was the mate bond affecting my feelings.
I pulled him away and wiped my lips with the back of my hand while he cast me with a confused and wounded look.
He whispered, “I love you,” and the way his voice cracked pierced my heart.
My hands were so tightly closed that my nails dug into my palms.
“Please, Jaidyn, stay with me,” he continued.
Even though I was hurting inside, I did my best to maintain a cold gaze on him. “Bring me back to my house”
He stared at me for a long second before pulling out his phone and began dialing. He remarked in a harsh tone that made my skin crawl, “Get back here and bring her to her cabin.” His voice was dark and controlled.
It was the first time I had ever heard it.
After a moment, I heard footsteps approaching and a car parked close by. I gave him one final glimpse and looked into his blue eyes before turning around. But I was not five steps away from him when he spoke again.
“Everything I showed you and said to you the entire time we were together was true, Jaidyn. And I am apologizing in advance because I will never let you go, love”
My jaw clenched, and my lips pursed as I continued walking away from him, creating distance little by little until I was close to the black car with Cayden outside.
He didn’t ask anything and opened the passenger door. I climbed into the car and fixed my attention outside as soon as it was closed until I felt we were moving. My gaze landed on the side view mirror where the reflection of the lights and the creek showed.
As soon as the car stopped, I braced the door and pulled it open, mumbling a “Thank you”
I was walking towards the cabin when my hand was grabbed. I turned to look at Cayden.
“I don’t know what is happening but I just want you to know that Traian truly loves you and we really care for you”
I didn’t reply and walked away, entering the cabin and closing the door in an instant. As soon as the door was locked, my legs gave up and tears streamed down my face. I put my hand on my lips to not make any noise, forcing my legs to run to the bathroom. With my shaking hands, I open the faucet and cry in there.
I don’t want anyone to hear that I am crying.
My cry turned into a sob. I cry because of all the confusion and the feeling of betrayal. The wounds of the betrayal from my fiance opened again, much deeper.
Once I calmed down and took a shower, I only ate an apple, not having any appetite to eat. I close the windows and get inside the bedroom, taking out my suitcase.
I load all my clothes and things in my duffel bag and suitcase. Even my outfit for tomorrow is ready. I immediately pulled out my phone and contacted Adam to see if he could provide me with a list of rental cabs. Within a second, I got a text. Without wasting any time, I texted the number. After I typed the address and the time I wanted to be picked up, which was 6 in the morning, I switched off all the lights. I force myself to sleep, wanting nothing but to forget all that happened today even for a short time.
