CHAPTER 44

NOAH

She sat there in the rose-pink dress I bought her for her birthday. Her soft brown hair curled around her face. The mate necklace I gave her was on the floor in pieces. All of the beads that I handpicked were scattered on the hardwood, disappeared under the stove, thrown in the garbage.

Jax’s necklace was still around her neck, sitting perfectly in the center of her pale chest. She grazed her fingers on his mark, like she always did. It was never my mark.

I was on my knees. I didn’t know what to do. This situation had played out a hundred different ways in my nightmares, and it always ended the same.

“Ava, what can I do?” I whispered desperately.

“How many times do I have to tell you, Noah?” She pursed her lips. She was crying again, but I had done absolutely nothing to her. Every tear made my heart break into smaller pieces. “Stop this! I can’t handle this anymore. I don’t want you.”

This happened every day. She was the only thing that I would ever love, and she knew that she had me curled around her finger. She knew I wouldn’t let her go. She knew that I couldn’t.

“I hate you. I have never wanted you. Why can’t you get that through your thick fucking skull?” she screamed.

“Ava …” I stepped closer to her, wanting nothing more than to hold her like I did that first night before she started hating me—before she met Jax.

She slapped me across the face, and I let her because she was my mate. She was supposed to love me. She was just mad. And if I tried to stop her, she’d become more violent, try to sink her teeth into my abdomen again. Threaten another poor girl that I looked at once at the mall while we were together. I was just trying to hand that woman a napkin to wipe off the ice cream on her son’s face.

“Ava,” I said, voice soft, hoping that it would calm her down.

Her eyes flashed a dark brown—the color of her wolf’s eyes. She was more than angry. “All I hear every fucking day is your nagging. Ava this, Ava that. Ava, why don’t you love me? Ava, we’re mates; you have to love me.” She shook her head, brown hair flying everywhere. “You know, your own brother thinks that you’re overbearing.”

“Ava,” I said on repeat. I didn’t want to make her angrier with me. I would do anything to make her happy. Absolutely anything.

She stared at me with so much hatred in her eyes. “He tells me every night before we sleep that he wishes it were just him and me. He wishes that you were out of the picture, that you had your own mate instead of unrightfully marking what was his.”

I clenched my jaw. “Don’t lie like that.” My voice wavered. “Don’t you dare do that to me. You knew that from the moment we saw each other, we were mates.” My heart was racing, and I wondered why I couldn’t be more for her.
