Emily
I couldn’t believe what was happening before my eyes. Asher actually marked her and she was now bearing his imprint. I could feel the air prickled with tension, and a murderous rage bouncing off me.
How could this happen? When did she become his mate?
I was confused and my heart was racing with the turn of events and I felt like I was about to lose my mind. I should have realized this a lot sooner, how did I miss it? How did I not see that Kayla was his real mate?
My angry gaze settled back on that tramp and that bastard of an Alpha. I hated the happiness that was rooted in his gaze. I knew too well that it was only a matter of time before he sent me out of his castle but I will never allow that to happen.
I couldn’t pay attention to anything else happening around me. People were screaming and getting to safety trying to get away from the brawl but that was the least of my problem. The only thing that was replaying in my head was Asher’s public mating with her.
How did I not realize that our fake bond had been broken? I was so busy plotting and getting my revenge that I didn’t realize that Kayla had replaced me. It all begins to make sense why Asher no longer cherished and adored me as he was before I went missing. It was because he had been gifted a mate and whatever he felt for me now must have been guilt from what had happened between us in the past.
But why did I feel like someone had broken my heart into a million pieces? Did I somehow develop some sort of feelings for him in all of these years? Just the thought of it made me feel sick to my stomach.
” How could you do this to me?” I screamed at the top of my voice
I was surprised by my outburst but I couldn’t seem to control myself. I felt so much pain and anger and I needed to direct it to someone and it had to be the person that started it all in the first place.
Asher turned and saw me in the crowd. I could see the look of shock and guilt all over his face. He deserves to die in that guilt after embarrassing me in front of many people.
I could feel eyes on me from all directions. What would people think about me now? I had to watch my husband mark another woman. I could see all the pitiful looks sent my way. Just a few minutes ago those pitiful looks were directed at Kayla. How did this happen?
Asher paused right in front of me and I could tell that he wasn’t sure of what to say to me. His cautious golden amber eyes were on me, regarding me like a damned hawk.
“I didn’t want you to find out like this.” He said. “I didn’t know how or when it happened but I fell deeply in love with Kayla. I can’t live without her. I am sorry Emily but she is the only woman for me. I can’t have any other woman in my life, just her.”
“Stop it! Shut it!” I yelled. “You can’t do this to me, Asher. You can’t leave me like this.” His words punctured my heart. This couldn’t be. I released a small, dry chuckle that lasted for only a second. “This is all a joke,” I shook my head, taking several steps backward.
“Emily.”
I didn’t wait for him to continue, instead, I stormed out of the council with only one thing on my mind. Did Asher actually think that he would ridicule me and get away with it? Hell no!
He was about to be hit with something hard that he wouldn’t be able to recover from. I couldn’t deny it, it hurt me. But now wasn’t the time to think about it. I had to find a way to scheme my plans.
My revenge was never on that tramp but now that they are mated, he would die if anything ever happens to her.
I shut my eyes, crumbling on the ground. I buried my face in my shaky palms. Asher’s words replayed over and over in my head, it sent a jolt of pain to my chest and ignited my rage as well.
Should I do to her the same thing I did to myself? Should I bewitch Asher into killing her and then have her cold body disappear right before his eyes so that Asher could suffer?
Then a few years later, I could show him that she was alive and make it look like she planned it all just to break his heart.
I shook my head at that thought. I wasn’t too pleased with the idea. I had done that already and Asher would suspect me once I went ahead with this plan. I needed to try out something cruel and vicious.
I smiled as a new idea popped into my head. Why hadn’t I thought about this sooner?
How would Asher react if he found out that the love of his life Kayla Wright would be his end? She would be the one to suck the life out of him.
I needed a more powerful sorcerer, someone who could manipulate her mind and force her to kill Asher. I wanted to scream with excitement. It would be a tragic ending for both of them.
That tramp has no idea what’s coming her way. What on earth was she thinking? That she had won and I would be out of Asher’s life.
I couldn’t stop my evil smile from resurfacing. Honestly, I couldn’t wait to see the look on that bastard’s face when I started to manipulate and take full control over Kayla. No one will be able to save her, not even the moon goddess herself. No one will stop me.
