I’m sorry.
With that, I bend down and crawl through the crack, allowing the intense power to suck me in.
I feel the violent pull as everything around me explodes, butall I can focus on is how I feel.
Heartbroken, shattered, and damned.
His Temper
Jayce
Ican’t move.
I can’t breathe.
This pain is endless.
The emptiness lingers in the air like the ashes of something sacred turned to ruin. And whatever she did to me burns in my lungs. I can feel the paralysis spreading, sinking into every inch of me like ice laced with poison. But that’s not what’s hurting me.
What hurts is that she did this.
She did it.
Sienna.
My mate.
The woman I would have bled for. Fought gods for. Burned the entire immortal realm down for.
She fucking tricked me.
I can still feel her touch on my skin, the echo of her sobs against my chest. The ghost of her lips whispering apologies shedidn’t mean. Not really, anyway, because if she had meant them, she wouldn’t have done it.
The moment the bond snapped, it felt like my soul was ripped in half. Like a piece of me had been cut out, like her hand had reached into my chest and crushed the part of me that only ever beat for her.
And she used my trust to get close to me and hurt me. I never thought she’d be capable of that.
She looked me in the eye, lied and destroyed it all.
“I gave you everything,” I whisper, my voice slurred and hoarse as I struggle against whatever this was. “Everything.”
She didn’t even look back.
I want to scream.
I want to be free of this fucking paralysis.
I want to wake up from this.
But all I can do is lie here with dirt in my face.
I didn’t care that I put aside everything and begged before her; all I wanted was for her to come to me.
I don’t care that I broke.
I would have crawled through fire.
I would have fought Helios for her.
