She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 70

"I had a husband. We loved each other. We were married for almost twenty years."

"What happened?" I couldn't stop myself from asking, I guess I'm a pretty curious person.

"He was hit. By a drunk driver."

"So was my best friend." It's an amazing feeling to relate to someone on such a high level. They may not fully understand you and you may not fully understand them, but you try your best because you know what they've gone through. You know how it feels.

"You're so young and yet you've felt and experienced so many things. Too many." She finally spoke making me looked up and meet her soft grey eyes.

"You can't change the past," I whispered back.

"But you can change how it shapes your future."

~Zane's POV~

Deep down inside, I didn't want to be there with April but something was forcing me to stay. To be with her instead of Devina. It was like a coma, I could hear everything and most of the time see things but I wasn't in control. My perception of time wasn't valid anymore, maybe years have passed. April giggled as she lead us upstairs to the bedroom. My body smiled but my soul cringed. As we made it to the room, she jumped onto the bed.

"Zanie," She sang as she saw I wasn't moving forward. "Zane!" She yelled. "Get over here!" I stumbled forward, not able to control my legs anymore but once my bare feet stepped on a small piece of paper, I froze. I reached down to pick it up and read the two words etched in Devina's handwriting.

You promised.

Right then and there, with the paper still in my hand, I snapped out of it. I no longer felt compelled to follow Aprils orders or stay here with her. In fact, the only thing I felt compelled to do was to kill her.
