My eyes widened as Clara came into our view, standing right behind of us.
“Your boyfriend?” I asked, looking between the two of them.
“Why do you look so lost?” she demanded. “You saw us together and yet look how shameless you’re being.”
Her words struck at me and I felt embarrassment as well as hurt replace every other emotions I’d been feeling before.
I couldn’t believe this. After everything that just happened, now I found this out? I thought he’d said that I was the only woman he’d ever wanted like this. Then what was he doing with her?
Oh God, I was so stupid!
I pulled away from him, not bothering to even look his way.
“I’m sorry.” I apologized to Clara as I rushed away from both of them.
……..
***JAMES***
“Clara!” I roared. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
She looked up at me innocently, her eyes wide with fear. “You told me to act like we were in a relationship. I thought that you would want me to do something like this, to make sure that she stays away from you.”
I felt like ripping out my whole head. I wanted to be angry at her but I knew that I was the one who’d even suggested it in the first place. “I was stupid Clara. I was stupid when I asked you to do that for me. I should have never done that.” I explained. “Eden needs me. She needs me more than ever now and I’m going to make her remember me, remember everything. Just forget I ever suggested something so stupid. It was a mistake.”
She frowned. “Are you sure that’s such a good idea?”
“I know it is.” I said. “now please, don’t do something like this again. Eden is your future Luna; treat her like that all of the time.”
She didn’t look happy but she nodded her head in understanding. “Yes Alpha, I’m sorry.”
I shook my head. “It’s my fault for suggesting it in the first place.”
Before Clara could respond, I was racing through the woods. Eden couldn’t have gotten far, even if she did reach as far as the Jeep, she couldn’t leave for I had the keys.
I found her just inches away from the vehicle and called out to her.
She stiffened but kept on walking despite my calls. I quickened my pace and pulled her towards me so that she was now pressed up against my chest.
“Please hear me out.” I begged as I searched her eyes. The look on her face completely scarred me and I knew that I would remember this moment for years to come.
Her eyes narrowed. “There is nothing you can say that would make this better.”
“Just let me explain … Please.”
She pushed against my chest angrily. “Explain what James?” she demanded. “Do you even know how hard it is for me to see you with another woman? Do you know how much I hate it? Do you even know? Yet you play with my feelings all along and completely lead me on.”
Her words made me feel a lot guiltier than before.
“I know… I know I’m stupid Eden.” I admitted. “Believe me, I know. But it isn’t the way that it seems, just let me explain everything to you. I would never lead you on. Please trust me.”
“It’s too late.” She snapped as she pushed away from me and started walking in the opposite direction.
I watched her go, my mind and heart racing.
no. no. no.
What had I done?
***EDEn***
“Eden!”
I kept on walking towards the Jeep ignoring his calls. I’d totally forgotten about that woman.
Were they together? How did she even know that we were here? I couldn’t get her words out of my head and no matter how much I wanted to turn and demand an answer from James, I still kept on walking.
He’d broken my trust and now I didn’t know who or what to believe. I should have never trusted my heart.
Look where it got me.
I felt a warm hand on my shoulder as James spun me around to face him once more. I couldn’t keep it together, I couldn’t even look him in his eyes. I was hurt and angry and all of my negative emotions were directed straight at him.
“Please.” He begged. “Just listen to what I have to say.”
I crossed my arms and glared at him. Something about the way he was looking at me and the desperation in his voice made me stop despite my mind telling me to keep going. At least he couldn’t say that I didn’t give him a chance to explain himself.
