Chapter 484

“It hurt to look at you, Ellie.” He swallows, “You were my best friend.”

“And you guys were my only friends,” I huff. “I know me and you were just fucking around, but I loved you then.” I shake my head. “And you just went and chose my enemy. That hurt, I didn’t want to show my face anywhere where I’d see you guys, and when Maddox talked to me it was to spite Audrey.” 2

“We’re sorry. I’m sure they feel horrible about this too.”

“So the reason I never came back to this pack was a lie?” I frown.

“Yeah. She fooled us all.”

“No.” I shake my head. I know Audrey Cole. She could barely make the honour roll in school. She academically fell behind me, but in everything else, I seemed to fall behind her. “She couldn’t have done

this alone.”

“I know, and everyone involved will face repercussions.”

My gaze drops to the letters on the floor. Even though he has plenty in his hands, there’s more on the floor still. “Are these all yours?”

“Some belong to her.”

“I want to read the letters you sent me,” I tell him. “Can I?

“Of course. I’ll give you the ones I thought were from you, they’re somewhere in my room.”

“Okay,” I nod. “Let’s go. I can’t stand being in here,” I nearly gag. “I can scent her, and it’s making me nauseous…” I trail off, walking away, and I finally notice when I’m outside the door that he isn’t anywhere near me. I look over my shoulder, and I find him standing there. “Kingston, what are you doing?” I pause. Don’t tell me you’re mourning who you thought your ex was?”

“No,” he clears his throat. “Can I ask you something?” He asks, his voice just as unsteady as his hands. Would you have left for Clinshore if we stayed friends, or dated back then?”

“Why are you asking me this?” I frown, my eyes searching his.

“It’s just something Audrey said,” he gulps. “And it’s been on my mind.”

“What exactly did she say?” I softly ask, taking two steps back inside the room. He looks worried, and for a moment, I wonder what new nonsense it was that she put in his head, and how the hell it is he believes her still even after he just learned about all the disturbing things that she did. “You can tell me,” I urge

“She said I was holding you back from your full potential.”

I shake my head, “She’s fucking insane.” I sigh. She’s still fucking with his head even after she’s been caught, and it’s crazy how easily she can do this. “How could you hold me back when you’re the one who convinced me I could get into any school of my choice?”

His lips curve into a half smile, “You’re very smart.”

“Yeah,” I nod. “And there’s plenty of intelligent people out there, but they never make it because they don’t have anyone who pushes them and believes in them. Sometimes our own faith isn’t enough, and the only way I made it was purely out of spite. There was so much going on here and I was depressed. Nothing seemed worth it, but I couldn’t let it show.” I swallow, swallowing down the lump that forms in my throat. “I couldn’t give the pack another reason to degrade me or laugh at me so I stuck it out.”

“She said I’d have knocked you at seventeen and you’d never leave because of me.”

“Are you sure it’s not the room you’re in?” I frown.

“You know what? She was half right, you did get me pregnant. I might not be seventeen, but it took you less than a year to put one in me.” I pout, clinging to him. “I’ll be pregnant and swollen on my birthday instead of taking shots off of a stripper’s abs.”

“I’d have done it the night of Seraphine’s wedding.”

“I hated that you ghosted me, and bullied your way around the pack. Which was a fucking lie.” He hisses, “That didn’t even stop us from being together.”

“Funny how this wouldn’t have happened if we ever just talked, but I had my pride to think of.” I pout,” Ten unanswered letters are too clear of a message. I had no dignity left around here, but pride? I held on

“You deserve way more than life has given you, Siren. More than I ever could give you. You deserve the

And he tried to give it to me. I tried to give it to him too, but somehow, we fell through. “Then give it to me.”
