Saint

I knewwhen I saw her face tonight wouldn’t be ready for this… for her. The emotions running through her upset my wolf, they told him that I couldn’t come back from this, the betrayal was too much. I pushed so hard that she wouldn’t forgive me. I couldn’t just turn up again in wolf form and have her talk to me… really talk to me like no one had ever before.

She saw me… the real me under everything and it scared me so much. It made me feel raw and vulnerable and I couldn’t handle those feelings, so I pushed her away again and again.

She hadn’t spoken to anyone what happened that night in Rawlins. Mav didn’t say anything about it, and he would have. He was mad and not speaking to me. Hell, most the guys in Kiba were pissed off about the Olivia thing.

Elijah changed gate duty so he wouldn’t be on with me, I was stuck doing patrols on my own and had too much time to think. It wasn’t good, I didn’t have any good thoughts. The only thing good in my life was Ada, she made me want to be a better person, I tried for her. And without her… I didn’t care. I was done.

I was torn.

“Come on, Saint, baby.” Olivia purred as she tugged at my arm. I shook her off and stormed out of the prom without saying a word. Jumped on my motorbike and rode off into the night, I didn’t know where I was going and I didn’t care.

All I knew was that Ada Stephens was the only person I didn’t want to disappoint. But instead of doing that, I tore her heart out.
