Ascension of a Gamma novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Broken Promise

– Liam

Her muffled cries seeped past the door. I didn’t understand why she pushed me away, why she was crying. My chest tightened as I shared her pain. I pounded at the door and pleaded but she wouldn’t let me in.

I had to tell her something. When Salina kissed me, a switch flipped in my brain and I just had to tell her.

I pleaded. Her cries grew louder. My heart was tearing itself apart. Who hurt her? Who did this to her? My baby was crying o n the other side and I couldn’t do anything to comfort her. If only she’d let me in. I could break it down, but I was afraid of hurting her. I could sneak into the balcony, but I didn’t want to invade her space,

I didn’t know what to do. I was feeling her pain and I was hurting, too. Why was she suddenly shutting me out? I could only think of Salina. She must’ve done something or said something. Did she know? Did she see us? Why else would

Dow? Did she see us? Why else would she be crying?

Baby, it wasn’t anything like that. She… kissed me. I – It was nothing. I swear it was nothing. 1

Goddess, it was me. I was the one who hurt her. I let Salina inside the territory and now she was seeding my baby lies. It wasn’t true. I swear it wasn’t true. Whatever she told you wasn’t true.

I raised my hand to knock at the door again but suddenly lost the strength to. Powerless, I fell on my knees. Something warm and wet crept down my cheeks. I just kept on hurting her. It was all I ever did to her. From the moment she arrived here, it was because of me that she kept getting hurt.

I should’ve told her. Luca wanted me to. When I refused, he fought for control, so he could do it himself.

I was afraid, babe. I’m sorry.

I thought everything would be alright now. I marked her, she was completely mine. I told her about my past, and she accepted me. So why was she pushing me

cepted me. So why was she pushing me away instead of talking with me?

I had no feelings towards Salina. My baby helped me let go of my mate. We were supposed to look forward to our future now, so why would she trust her words instead of mine?

My legs were cramping. I didn’t count how long I’d been here. It was silent now. She must’ve fallen asleep = more accurately, cried herself to sleep. Sighing, I got on my feet and stretched my legs. Luca wasn’t talking to me – he’d been silent since I refused to tell her.

My hand slid along the smooth railing as I made my way down the stairs. This was the first time she made something for m e, and I ruined it. I was ushering Salina out of the mansion, Anna. I swear I didn’t want to have anything to do with her. 3

I picked up the box with a cute red ribbon on top of it. Did she want to celebrate something? Was it just something she wanted to do for me? Either way, it was for me and the night turned out disastrous because of my mistake.

I didn’t feel like going to my bedroom. It

lidn’t feel like going to my bedroom. It was just a cold, empty space without her. Instead, I made my way to my office and placed the box on the table.

I really am ajerk.

When I woke up, it was around five in the morning. The day was longer than night, so it was already bright out. I hadn’t realized I’d fallen asleep. She was usually awake by this time. I left my office to go t o her room. I had to talk to her. Hopefully, she’d let me.

As I passed by the first floor, I saw an SUV parked outside. Lexy, Gale, and Rigel stood beside it, blocking my view.

“What’s going on here?” I asked as I neared them.

This didn’t feel right. As I got closer, I saw my Anna inside the car. My chest tightened.

She didn’t even glance at me. The tinted window went up, hiding her from me.

“Anna!”

Ijogged to them, and the three backed away as the engine started. This wasn’t

ay as the engine started. This wasn’t happening

“Anna!

This couldn’t be happening.

Why weren’t they stopping her? Why were they letting her go?

Why are you leaving me?

Just as it reached the gate, it stopped. I felt relief wash over me. Maybe she changed her mind.

The door opened and the driver stepped out – Carson.

In the blink of an eye, he was in my face. A hard punch landed on my cheek, making me lose my balance a bit. My eyes watered. I could’ve stopped him, but I didn’t. I deserved it.

“Stay the fuck away from her!” he yelled.

When I raised my head, he’d already shut the door and the car was now quickly disappearing from view.

I had to talk to her. She had to listen. It was nothing. It meant nothing. I couldn’t even think what’d happen to me if she

wonen

gemmer me.
