Memories of a car crashing, being sold at the auction, encountering witches that hung humans on the tree, the Bloodshade pack, arms ripped off, making love, getting rejected, watching my sisters on the brink of death, and falling off the cliff… everything played like a broken tape.
I shut my eyes tightly, as a sharp pain tore through my chest. The pain was so intense that I could not breathe.
Tears streamed down my face, my body slumped in defeat, waves after waves of emotions followed. I began wailing.
'Oh for fucking sake!' My fingers dug into the forest floor. My heart shattered into millions of pieces, and it was all because of one man… one man.
My shoulders trembled like leaves before the storm. I felt numb… maybe I wanted to. But I couldn't ignore the fire burning within me.
'I, Alpha Damon Blackthorn, reject you, Ember Salvatore, as my mate.' Damon's voice replayed in my head.
