CHAPTER TWENTY–NINE

HAILEY

My eyes were fixed on the green orbs of the man I had vowed to spend the rest of my life with, but was

stupid enough to fall in love with him, and had ended up marrying him.

I was staring at the man I had once loved.

The same man that had left me a broken shell of myself.

The man that had stolen my heart and broke it.

He was standing in front of me, after five years. He was looking at me, the same way he did the first time

he saw me.

His eyes were filled with so much emotion, and he looked like he’d seen a ghost.

He looked at me in disbelief, his breathing uneven, and his heart pounding. It looked like his head was running overdrive as he stared into my eyes, and he didn’t say anything.

His grip was loosening, and the silence between us was deafening.

“How?” He finally spoke, his voice sounding strained.

I couldn’t even bring myself to say anything, because it was just a little too overwhelming.

“How is this possible?” He asked, his voice was low, almost a whisper.

Finally coming back to my senses, I pushed him off me. “Get the fuck off me.” I gritted, and walked away

from him.

“Hailey-”

“What?! What do you want from me, huh? I was doing just fine. My life was going great. I had moved on. But, of course, you had to come and ruin everything. Why do you have to ruin everything?!”

“Me? Ruin everything? How the hell is this on me? You were the one who came back to my pack, without

my consent!”

“Coming here is the last thing I wanted. You think it gives me pleasure to see your face? To be close to you? I’m only here, because this is where I have to be. Because, the people of this pack needs a good doctor, and that’s exactly what I am. If it was up to me, I’d rather be anywhere else, but not here.”

Suddenly, he cupped my face so softly as he stared at me. “I can’t believe you’re here. In person. I–I

thought it was a dream. This can’t be true. This is not real.”

I smacked his hands away and walked to the other side of the room.

“I’m very much real, Dominic.”

“What happened to you?”

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

“Nothing. Nothing happened to me. I’m just trying to live my life, and not think about the past. We are

divorced. I want nothing to do with you, or anyone related to you. I came here for my job which is something I will focus on. You and I, will not happen. So, stop whatever sick game you’re playing, and

leave me the fuck alone.”

He looked at me like I had slapped him, his face filled with disbelief and confusion. “I loved you,

regardless of what happened.”

“Well, you had a very shitty way of showing it, ex husband. Three years. We were married for three fucking

years. You had three years to show me just how much you loved me. But, instead I was alone in that

married. Thinking I was married to the love of my life, but in truth, it was all a lie. You chose another

woman over me. You cheated on me, while I was fucking-”

I quickly swallowed back the words, threatening to spill from my throat. I had almost spilled the fact that I

was pregnant with our child, when he popped the news of divorce, giving me no choice but to start my life

again.

But instead, I decided against it and said nothing.

“You’re angry, and you have every right to be. But, what happened was five years ago. Things have changed, Hails.”

“Don’t. Don’t you fucking dare call me that.”

“It’s your name.”

“Only those close to me have the permission to call me by that name, and you, my dear ex husband, are not included in that list. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a life to live, and a house to get back to.”

“Wait.” He called out, but I didn’t.

Instead, I opened the door and walked out, closing it behind me. I immediately rushed outside, where

Valerie was already waiting for me.

“What took you so long- are you okay?” She immediately asked, when she noticed my appearance.

“Just take me home, please. I’ll tell you everything later.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yes.” I lied, as tears fell down my cheeks.

“Hey, hey, it’s okay. I’m right here.”

I buried my face in her shoulder, as she wrapped her arms around me. We pulled away and rushed to the car, driving out of the hospital.

I was sobbing the entire ride home, and I wanted to fucking beat myself up for it. I had five fucking years to plan this. To plan to meet him again after all these years, and I failed woefully at it.

I was so pathetic to still feel something for him.

How the fuck was that even possible?

He was the reason for all the pain.

The heartache.

And yet, here I was, still crying over him.

I hated him.

I wanted to kill him.

The only thing I was allowed to feel for him was anger, hatred, burning rage and revenge. Was it the mate

bond? It had to be. That was the only explanation.

The bond was messing with my feelings.

Because, he was the last person I wanted to see.

I had left this town because of him.

Because of his betrayal.

Because of his actions.

Nothing prepared me for meeting him again. It brought back lots of horrifying and painful memories I’d spent years bottling up, and it was the worst thing ever. It all came rushing back at the sight of him, and suddenly, I felt like that young, helpless and naive woman all over again.

All the courage, all the strength I had built for the past five years, vanished the moment his eyes fell on

1. me.

“You’re safe, Hailey. It’s okay.” Valerie’s soothing voice snapped me out of my thoughts, and I looked up to see that we had already reached our house.

“C’mon, go inside. I’ll go pick Liam up from school and get us ice cream, while you tell me what the fuck

happened.”

“Thanks, Val. I’m so sorry for dragging you into my problems.”

“We’re best friends, Hails. You don’t need to apologize. Just let it out. Cry if you have to. Scream, curse, or

punch something. Whatever helps.”

“I can’t. Not in front of my son. He’s still a kid. He’s only five, and I don’t want him to see me cry. It will absolutely crush him. He’ll start thinking that everything’s his fault, and it’ll destroy him.”
