You said his name that night,” Daxon said and his smile was twisted and cruel in a way that made me want to throw up. ‘You moaned Tristan’s name while I was making love to you
My entire body went cold and I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my head.
“What… are…you.. talking…. about?” I breathed and I could barely get the word out.
“At first, I thought maybe it was just a mistake or a slip of the tongue. But then you said it again and then again and I couldn’t ignore it anymore.” he
continued, his grin was wicked and vicious.
“So I went looking for him,” Daxon continued and his tone was calm now like he was telling me about what he had for breakfast.
“I had to know who this Tristan was and why you, my mate, was thinking about him when you were supposed to be with me. The feeling I got when I
found out he was supposed to be your brother.” My mouth went dry and my blood ran cold.
Was this all my fault? No. He had to be lieing.
Daxon was a liar. I never did that.
“No” I said while shaking my head slowly. “No I never….”
“Oh you did” and his smile widened. “You just don’t want to remember it but I do. Do you know how I felt? I loved you, gave you everything, but had to
pay me with that. This is all your fault.”
He paused and let that sink in while I felt my world crumbling around me.
‘I found out he had a mate and that he was happy.” He continued his cruel explanation like it was nothing. Like he was proud of him actions.

He let out a bitter laugh that made my stomach turn. “And I didn’t do anything right away because I’m not stupid. I waited and I planned because 1 wanted him to feel it when it happened. I wanted him to lose everything when it would hurt him the most.”

I slammed my head back against the wall behind me and my chest was heaving like I couldn’t get enough air into my lungs.
My hands clawed at the chain around my wrist even though my fingers were already raw and bleeding from all my earlier attempts to get free.
“Daxon!” I screamed and my voice broke into a sob.
“I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. Why? He had nothing to do with this, neither did she or the unborn child. They’re all innocent, you should have killed me instead.”
My voice echoed in the basement and bounced back at me like a ghost while leaving me shaking and empty and raw.
