Chapter Thirteen
Nacho
She was here. I thought the day would never come.
And she was mine. My bear cried out mate when she appeared with that heart-lighting smile on her face. He knew.
Mate.
âI thought we were in loveâmadly. But now that I know the truth, looking back, I shouldâve seen the signs,â she said.
âWhat signs?â Riggs leaned up and ran his hand down her arm. It made her shiver but with the heat cranked up, I knew it wasnât from the cold.
âIâll explain. First, why my profile picture was in a wedding dress. It was from the photo shoot the day before. So, after I was left with no husband at the altar, the wedding was called off. He wasnât there. The bridesmaids were ready. The church was packed. Everything was perfect. But I had no groom. I stood there while one of his cousins came out and tried to tell me to⦠I donât even remember what she said exactly, but before I knew it, the officiant was announcing that the bride and the groom had decided not to have the wedding. A wedding is supposed to be the most important day of a personâs life and yet, it was all happening to me instead of me being in it. Gods, Iâm not making sense.â
âYou are.â I took her hand in mine and, to my surprise, she didnât pull away. In fact, she placed her other hand on top and squeezed. Gods, she was shaking. The whole situation had done a number on her. âItâs okay. Take all the time you need. We are listening.â
After a few long breaths, she swiped at some tears. If I wasnât driving, I wouldâve taken them from her. Riggs handed her a tissue from the back seat.
âI ran for it. Everyone was whispering, and some were snickering and looking at their phones, and some people I didnât know snapped a few pictures of me while my world was crashing down around me. I remember looking for someone to anchor me. Someone to be on my side but when I turned, the only thing I saw was the door. Next thing I know, Iâm stuffing myself in that godawful dress into the limo and telling him to go to a place where I could drink and no one would find me. The limo driver did as he was told. I ended up in a shifter bar, although I didnât realize it at the time. The bartenders helped me. And somewhere between the shots of tequila and taking off my wedding dress in favor of leggings and a T-shirt with the bar logo, I somehow got signed up for the app.â
We stayed silent, letting her story hang in the air, along with its sadness and the fury I felt in my chest.
âAre you still getting over him?â Riggs asked. His eyes and mine connected in the rearview mirror. It was a fair question.
âNo. Now that I know everything, I realize I was taking the steps but they werenât mine.
