Ryan’s pov
I stared at the shattered glass on the floor angrily. Her words hit harder than the slap ever could; they stayed with me longer than the sting did.
We’re done here, Alpha Ryan.
Those words echoed in my head and made my wolf Apex rustle inwardly. He snarled violently inside me, pacing and clawing desperately to follow her. To drag her back and to make her listen to us.
But I didn’t move.
I couldn’t.
For the first time in my life I feared something. And it was losing her. Again.
My body felt rooted to the ground where I stood, blood still dripping from my wound but not as much as before. It was already closing up, but the wound in my heart didn’t feel like it would stitch back anytime soon.
“Evie,” I whispered on my tongue, wishing she’d come back to me willingly but I knew she’d never do that. She was too proud. She wasn’t weak at all.
I dragged a hand down my face, my claws scrapping against my flesh slightly. My cheek still stung where she hit me but Goddess it was nothing compared to the storm ripping through my chest.
She said I sent warriors after her…..
But that couldn’t be possible. I had felt it that night as the memory had thrust into my mind. I had loved her. I wouldn’t dare harm her.
I wouldn’t dare send warriors to kill her.
I know deep in my bones I wouldn’t.
“No…” I muttered under my breath, shaking my head as I began pacing the room, my fingers raking through the strands of my hair brutally. “That’s not possible. She must’ve had it wrong.”
But as I recall her voice and the way she said it. The pure pain in her eyes and the way they glistened with unshed tears, I knew she was not lying.
It was like she was reliving the moment all over again.
And that’s why I couldn’t bear to follow after her because I knew if I did….. it would make things worse.
My wolf growled low, troubled by the thought of us sending warriors to end her life.’ She believes we did it.’ Apex whines.
“We didn’t do it,” I snapped aloud. “We wouldn’t-”
Not with the way I felt about her.
‘We don’t remember everything,’ my wolf cut in sharply. ‘What if we did and we just don’t recall-
‘We wouldn’t!’ I snarled.
But that was an issue. The not remembering part. I only remember a few fragments, feelings.

Her laughter. The way her eyes light up when she looked up at me. The way my chest used to feel…..full and warm, like I finally had something that mattered more than the Alpha title forced onto my shoulders.
And then that night…
My head throbbed suddenly, sharp and painful. I groaned, gripping my skull as images tried to force their way through my mind.
“Fuck!” I staggered back, knocking into the wall as the pain intensified. My vision blurred and my eyes clenched hard trying to fight off the darkness.
The pain was too intense, slamming against my temples and the back of my head. Memories rush through me like an overplayed motion film and blood white hot pain slammed into me.
I fall to my knees, growling as I grip my hair. There were too many memories at once. Too much.
“Ahhh!” I groaned, now planting myself to the floor. Every image of her rush through my mind. Her smile, goddess, her smile was beautiful. And it had been for me. Me. No one else but me.
And then it flashes to me in my room. With me being restrained by Javon and the other warriors. They were dragging me out of my room and Goddess, I fought back. I did.
But there were too many of them.
They brought me to Father’s study where he and Mom stood with a red haired lady. The second I sniffed the air, her disgusting scent had hit me.
