I'll never forget the piercing pain of Elijah's rejection, the way his eyes seemed to penetrate into my soul as he voiced the words that would change my life forever.
I bring to mind the way Elijah's eyes had once sparked with passion for me, the way his contact had set my skin burning. But now his look is emotionless and reserved, and his speech hurts deeper than a blade.
The pack's alpha, Elijah's father, hung around, his appearance strict and unsupportive. I understood he had never been delighted about the plan of me as Elijah's mate, but I had faith that Elijah's cherish for me would be adequate to subdue his grievances.
But presently, it appeared to be that Elijah's caring was not sufficient.
As the burden of Elijah rejection broke me, I sensed my legs give away underneath me. I tumbles and would have fallen if not for the speedy holding of my best friend, Rachel.
Aria, let's go, Rachel spoke softly, her voice pressing as she dragged me away from the sight of my shame. You don't deserve to be here right now.
But I had trouble proceeding, was incapable of disconnecting my eyes from Elijah's looks. I sense like I was overpowered in a depth of pain and denial, I didn't know how to hold my head over water. Elijah's eyes made contact with mine, and for a period, I thought I saw a flashed of remorse of doubt. But it was quickly put out, replaced by a mask of unconcernedness. And now, it looked like he had acquired his way.
I sensed a burst of rage and bitterness towards Elijah's Father, but it was rapidly replaced by a surge of regret and grief. I had misplaced the love of my life, and I didn't know how to continue.
As we marched off from the pack's headquarters, I sensed like I was walking far from my heart, from my soul. I didn't realize what the destined had, but I was aware I wouldn't be the same missing Elijah by my side.
Unexpectedly, Rachel paused in her path, her eyes set on something in back of me. I shifted to see what it was, and my heart jumped a beat.
Elijah was positioned in back of me, his eyes fastened on mine. And for a period I thought I spotted a sparkle of hope, an opportunity for reconciliation.
But then, his look shifted and he spoke words that made my blood cool off Aria, we need to commune. There's something I want to tell you. Something that will transform everything.
