Chapter 35
Why was Brian doing this?
Why did he let Haiti go on a murder spree?
Why didn’t he want me to have the triplets around me?
Why did he still believe I was his?
He rejected me.
He wanted it this way.
He made that choice. I just accepted his rejection.
Did we rush the decision to reject and accept?
I sighed.
I was not sure if I would have been able to forgive Brian for sleeping with Sarah, but…
Another unwilling breath escaped my lips.
There was always a bloody ‘but‘ somewhere.

What if we just gave each other space to heal? Would the bond have mended our love? Would I have forgiven him in time? Would we
still be together?
“No,” Kia’s voice echoed in the back of my mind. She sounded a bit more energized than usual. I could feel her presence more and
more, but she kept to herself most of the time.
“Why not?” I asked, feeling betrayed. Did she know? Did she know that Brian was capable of such things? Did she know Brian would
betray me and my pack?
“What you see now has already been shown to you; this is just the beginning,” she said, and her presence disappeared.
“Show me what, when, and where?” I whispered to myself. “What the hell was Kia talking about?”
I suddenly felt sad, and my mind wandered off to the better days when I felt loved and appreciated by Brian.
Brian was very good to me when we dated. We were in love, and that love was stronger than the bond we had. There was no bond to
force us together.

That was until that fateful night.

My mind raced back, remembering how beautiful that day was. I suddenly wondered if my car was still parked in the garage. I
chuckled at the thought between the warm tears.
Gosh, my emotions were out of control. I sniffed and wiped the tears from my eyes and sat back, then replayed one of the most
memorable moments of my life.
I haven’t been inside the car since the day I got her, but I can still recall how warm and sunny it was that day, how many people came and looked at the brand–new wheels I got for my birthday, and how much effort Brian, Jimmy, and Sarah put in to decorate the school for my birthday.
I shook the memory off; it was making me even more depressed.
“Kate?” Colt called, shifting his head to the side and trying to read my facial expression. He has been doing this more and more, just
silently observing me.
“What?” I asked, managing to force the word over my lips without struggling or coughing. I was miraculously healing faster than
anyone of us thought I would, and even though my voice still broke sometimes, I felt much better. I am much stronger and much more
like my old self.
I still believed it had something to do with the triplets, but I had no proof.
The triplets have been living in my room, making sure I am comfortable and holding my hand every second they can.
It was a bit awkward in the beginning, but I got used to it.
“I want you to get dressed,” he said, and he pointed to the clothes set out next to the bed.
“Dressed for what?” I asked. “The doctor hasn’t discharged me yet.”
Colt chuckled amusedly, and his eyes darkened, but he quickly became serious again.
“The doctor says you are healthy enough to leave your room,” he said. “We got permission to take you out for the day and bring you
back a bit later.”
