Rhett's POV
We all just watched her run up the stairs, I looked back over to Cliff and he looked distraught but honestly I didn't care. His mess up will hopefully be my gain. I'm going to let her calm down for a bit and then hopefully I can ease my way into her bed, give her a type of comfort that emotionally vulnerable people tend to crave in the moment.
As I was about to leave the room Cat came over grabbing my arm crying. "Rhett baby, I'm sorry, please don't break things off, we need each other. I can't protect myself without you, please don't tell your family, I will never mess around again. It was a moment of weakness. Please baby please forgive me, we can work this out, we can continue on with our arrangement right baby?"
I scoffed, "Let me make this clear to you Catherine, I never wanted this arrangement and even if I cheated my parents wouldn't let me out of it, we did however have an agreement ourselves, my parents, your parents and I had agreed that if I ever found you cheated and could gain proof of it, the arrangement would be called off and any promises made in exchange would be null and void, " I smirked triumphantly, "so no there is no more arrangement, no more protection for you, the minute Amy showed that video here, the video was sent to both our families as well. We are done, you are done, maybe you should hope that your little play thing over there can protect you because I sure as hell won't. You made your bed, now you can sleep in it!" Then I walked away, I didn't want nor need to hear her continued whining and screaming. She did this herself and it only benefited me so she's no longer my problem.
Cliff's POV
As we watched her walk away Outlaw started howling in my head. The pain in our chest was unbearable, it almost felt as if we were losing our fated mate. The rejection hurt more than we expected. We never really thought she would ever find out but we also assumed that if she did she would forgive us like we would her because we loved each other, chose to be each other's mates, had planned a future together. We never thought this would end us.
'No! This can't end! She's ours , Summer and Amy love us and we will win mate back! We just need to prove to her! Prove she's our world and we were stupidly foolish for thinking we needed to experience something else before we committed.' Outlaw howled in pain.
'You're right! We will show her! We will win them back! Prove our love and devotion! We will mate and mark them like we always planned, she's still ours we haven't lost her yet!" I replied.
Just then Catherine came over, she was crying too but I knew it wasn't because she loved Rhett, it was because she lost his protection. No one fully knows why she needs protection and until the day apparently that we were caught, I had no idea that her relationship with Rhett was a contract. Everyone assumed they were together because their parents wanted it and had known each other for years but it was kind of shocking to know they actually didn't love each other. Whatever, it's none of my business, it just sucks that I am now fighting with my girl all because I let this skank finally convince me to cheat.
"What do you want Catherine?"
"What do you mean what do I want? We both just lost our partners. I want you, you and I no longer have to hide, we can do this for real, without sneaking around."
I let out a bitter laugh "What makes you think I want you, I never wanted you, you were a mistake! You may have been a fun lay but that's all you ever were. No one wants a skank like you! I only want Amethyst and I will win her back, she will forgive me! Don't ever come near me again, don't even try to touch me again, don't talk to me again either, if you try to do any of those things I will make sure whatever you need protection will get what they want! Now move I am going to find my girl." I pushed her out the way and ran to look for Amy.
Catherine's POV
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME! I watched not only Rhett but now Cliff walk out the door away from me. Both of them are saying they don't want me, all because of that bitch! She's ruined my life! I know if she never shared that video, mine and Rhett's arrangement would still be happening. I don't love him but he's hot and could protect me from the crazy Rogue King who wants to marry me. When this all fell apart and Rhett told me the arrangement was already off, I figured that I could get together with Cliff, I have feelings for him and he's way more attractive than Rhett, he doesn't have the same connections and power that Rhett's family has but he could still protect me nonetheless. Now I need to figure out what to do.
'We could get rid of Amethyst, if she's gone Cliff snd Outlaw could come back to us. Right now they are just upset because it's fresh and they think they still have a shot to win her back, but if she disappears for good, they could turn to us, we can comfort them and make the fall in love with us instead.' My wolf suggests and honestly I love that idea.
Now we just need to figure out how we can get rid of her without it coming back that we have anything to do with it. 'I think I have any idea but you aren't going to like it.'
