Chapter Nine

Destiny was numb as Diz pulled her into the circle of his arms. Like being smacked so hard your skin refused to feel whatever came next. That’s how her heart felt. Bruised. Battered.

She listened as his breathing became harder, stiffer. He was angry, and it told her everything about what had just happened. He wasn’t able to mark her no matter how much he wanted to, because his future belonged to another female. And he wasn’t willing to give her up for Destiny.

He didn’t love her. Not anymore than as a friend.

She swallowed hard, desperate not to cry.

Diz would not be her loving mate. How cruel reality was, to take their wishes and stomp them to the ground as if they didn’t matter.

As her friend, he’d wanted to make this possible for her. He’d even desired her body the way she desired his, it was obvious. But he couldn’t do forever. That was the line he’d drawn tonight.

She had to accept it.

Searing pain snapped at her heart like a devil’s whip, and she breathed through it, desperate to not let a tear fall in his presence. She wouldn’t have him feeling sorry for her. Or worse, guilty because he couldn’t give her what she wanted.

It wasn’t his job to make her happy. That was all hers.

“It’s okay,” she whispered so he wouldn’t hear her voice shake. He stiffened against her back, his body feeling like cold stone. “I’ll keep trying to see her. We… we’ll fix this, Diz.”

A heartbeat later, he pushed away to sit on the edge of the bed. With jerky movements, he pulled his shirt on and reached to the floor for his pants.

He said nothing. He was leaving. Of course he was.

Standing, he yanked his jeans up.

She wanted to talk to him. Tell him she understood. That she’d be okay. But he didn’t seem concerned about anything other than finding the door. And she didn’t know if any of that was true anyway. She didn’t feel okay.

Her heart throbbed as he headed for the door without a word. He couldn’t even look at her. She knew what that meant, and she couldn’t bear the thought. If he despised her, she’d never make it through this.

“Diz,” she called before he reached the door of her room.

“What?” he shot out. He didn’t turn around.

Destiny stared at his rigid spine, wishing she could take everything back. All of it, starting from the very first moment she’d thought of him as more than a friend. From the moment she’d opened her eyes to find him at her bedside, willing her to recover from her injuries. If only she could have seen this outcome in her visions, she would’ve never gone here with him. She wouldn’t have risked it. It wasn’t worth it if he ended up hating her.

“Don’t hate me.” She barely got the words past her throat.

His shoulders sank. “I could never hate you,” he said, and then stalked out of her bedroom. Seconds later she heard the front door slam.
