PRESTON

I stared at my feet, focusing on the water crashing against them before it flowed into the abyss of the drain. I didn’t want to feel the icy claws of jealousy ripping into me, but it was there. Cyrus plaguing Ciara’s mind drove me mad. I didn’t understand how she could still be holding on to him after everything he’d done to her.

For the life of me, I couldn’t explain why she’d dream of him when I had done everything in my power to help her forget. Anger burned through my veins like lava and made me tremble. Not even a cold shower could quench the fire blazing within me.

He’d poisoned me, for fuck’s sake. How could she still have feelings for him after everything that had happened? If not for Cyrus, I wouldn’t have gone crazy; she wouldn’t have had to run away from me, and she sure as shit wouldn’t have been kidnapped. Cyrus would never have been turned into a shifter, and he wouldn’t have died taking a bullet for her.

My jaw flexed as I smacked my palm against the tiled wall and wished with all my heart that my anger and jealousy could wash out of me and seep into the drain at my feet. The hot water poured out of the showerhead and coated the shower door with steam, but it didn’t shroud my feelings. A bitter taste coated my tongue, and my stomach turned as I swallowed.

In my heart of hearts, I knew there was no reason for me to be feeling the way I was. After all, Cyrus was dead. He’d paid the ultimate price for his betrayal. But still, I couldn’t stop the prickles from ravaging through me. The spikes of rage stung. It was like being punched in the nuts with an icy metal glove.

My hands balled into tight fists, and I wanted to take my frustrations out on the tile. I yanked my arm back and let it fly. A split-second before my fist would have connected with the tile, I let my arm drop, restraining myself. There was no point in destroying my parents’ house over such a thing. But I still needed to break something. The thought of making a run for the barracks played on the back of my mind, but I couldn’t take my frustration out on the pack. Not after the last time when I had nearly put one of my pack members in the hospital.

I relaxed my shoulders and tried to force all thoughts of Cyrus out of my head. But however hard I tried to erase him, the more he stuck around. It was like trying to wipe ink off a white sheet of paper—the more I tried, the more it smeared over everything. I simply couldn’t forget the man who had sacrificed himself to save Ciara.

My anger didn’t stem from the fact that Ciara had been with him in Vegas or even that she’d slept with him and he’d betrayed her. No, it was because he had been the one to protect her when it should have been me.
