After a long shower, I headed to the kitchen for a glass of water. My cell rang before I made it, and I backtracked to my bedroom to grab it off my dresser where I’d left it charging. Alec’s name lit my screen. Dread pooled in my stomach at the sight. I didn’t want to answer his call, but I knew I needed to. Especially after what we’d talked about last night and what happened between Eli and me.

I always thought I would never be cruel enough to break up with someone over the phone, but here I was, contemplating taking the easy way out while I stared at his name lighting the screen of my cell.

“Hey,” I said when I answered.

“Morning. I didn’t wake you, did I?” Alec asked.

“No. I’ve been up for hours.”

“Oh, okay. I was worried you’d still be sleeping. I don’t know what time you normally get up in the morning. It’s not something we’ve ever discussed—whether you’re a morning person or a night owl. I always assumed you were a night owl, because of…well, you know.” He fumbled his words a couple of times, but kept going.

It was clear I wasn’t the only one nervous during this phone call.

“I don’t have a preference, actually. I’m not either. I like to think I’m somewhere in the middle, I guess,” I said.

“That’s good.” He released a long breath. “Look, I couldn’t sleep last night because of everything I said on our date. I kept thinking about how I must’ve sounded… like I was only with you because of what you are and not because of who you are. I wanted you to know that’s not true. Not at all.”

Why did he have to be so damn sweet?

Imprinting with Eli and breaking things off with Alec couldn't have come at a worse time. There was no way for me to not make it seem as though I was breaking up with him because he knew what I was. There was no way to not break his heart, but there was also no way I could continue letting him think we were dating when I’d already given myself fully to someone else.

“Thanks, but umm, there’s something I have to tell you,” I said as I closed my eyes, forcefully pushing the words past my lips.

“You’re breaking up with me, aren’t you?” Alec asked with a sigh. “I knew it would happen.”

My mouth grew dry. I licked my lips and picked my next words carefully. “It has nothing to do with you knowing what I am.”

“You don’t have to explain. Or lie. It’s okay. I didn’t think we’d last long anyway. I’ve always thought of our relationship as temporary.”

Was he joking? How was he was handling this so well?

It wasn’t as though I expected him to become irate and start calling me names, but I damn sure didn’t expect him to say he knew it would happen, that he’d thought of our relationship as temporary.

“Why would you think that?” I asked, curiosity getting the best of me.
