Blake’s pov

Jacob climbed out of his wrecked car with murder in his eyes.

He lunged at me and we collided. My fist connected with his jaw and his knee drove into my stomach.

I snarled at him, swiping my claw at him.

"Where is she?" I slammed him against the wall. "What did you do with her?"

He chuckled bitterly, "What did I do? That's rich, coming from you."

"Tell me where Elena is."

"Why? So you can abandon her again?" He shoved me back, wiping blood from his split lip. "So you can make more p

    Blake’s pov"Get off her bed." My voice was barely human. "You have no right.""I don't know what you're talking about—""I saw them." I towered over her, my chest heaving with rage. "Every message you sent her."Her face went pale. "Those were just—I was just defending what was mine—""Nothing about me was ever yours." I hauled her to her feet, "What we had was mutual exploitation, nothing more.""That's not true." Tears welled in her eyes, "Blake, I loved you. I still love you. Everything I did was because I wanted us to be together—"She cut short and sent me a glare, “Did you ever love me?" I released her arm, stepping back. "I asked you a question." She prompted when I said nothing."I never loved you." I hissed at her, "I was seeking excitement. Something to make me feel powerful while I climbed the ranks." I met her eyes. "You were convenient, Lydia. That's all you ever were."Her face crumpled."I would rather give up my Alpha position," I said slowly, "than stay married to

  • When I’m Gone, You Love   Chapter 26: The Messages

    Blake’s povThe scandal was everywhere.Every pack news channel and gossip outlet were all running the same story. Photos of me and Lydia, including speculation about Elena's disappearance. Someone had leaked everything and I knew exactly who.I found Lydia in my living room, examining her nails like she didn't have a care in the world. She looked up when I walked in."Blake, I heard about the news coverage." She shook her head sadly. "It's terrible. Who would do something like this?""Don't play games with me." I stopped in front of her, "You did this. You leaked those photos."Her eyes widened, "Me? Blake, that's ridiculous. I'm the Beta's daughter of Silver Ridge Pack. Do you really think I would release scandalous gossip that could destroy my own reputation?" She stood, pressing a hand to her chest. "My father would be humiliated. My position as Chief Warrior would be compromised. Why would I sabotage myself?""Because you wanted Elena gone—"Lydia gasped.Her hand flew to her st

  • When I’m Gone, You Love   Chapter 25: The Only Daughter-in-Law

    Lydia’s povBlake had thrown me out like garbage.The humiliation burned through me as I drove away from his house, my hands shaking on the steering wheel. I'd shown up in my best silk hoping that he would lose control and take me right there on the porch.But he has rejected me.For her, I thought bitterly. He rejected me for that sickly, pathetic Omega.Elena. Always Elena, even when she was gone, she still had her claws in him. He was buying moonflowers and rearranging furniture and preparing the house like she was going to walk through the door at any moment.She wasn't coming back. I needed leverage. Something that would force Blake to acknowledge me, and stop this ridiculous obsession with his dying mate and focus on what actually mattered.And I knew who that was exactly;His mother.Margaret Hayes lived in their old family estate at the edge of pack territory.Margaret herself was no different. She was regal and has never hidden the fact that she didn’t like me. Well, she ju

  • When I’m Gone, You Love   Chapter 24: The Diary

    Blake’s povThe house was empty when I returned.I stood in the doorway, listening to the silence and realized how lonely it was in here."Elena?" My voice echoed back at me, mocking. "Elena, are you here?"Nothing.I walked through the rooms like a ghost haunting his own home. The kitchen where she'd cooked meals I'd barely tasted. The living room where she'd waited for me night after night, dinner growing cold on the table. The bedroom where I'd slept beside her without ever really seeing her.She's gone, my wolf said quietly. We drove her away.I sank onto the edge of our bed and pressed my palms against my eyes.I tried to lay down when I felt something tucked in between the mattress and the headboard. I pulled it out and gasped when I saw it was her diary.I couldn’t decide if I wanted to read it or not, It was private, most innermost thoughts. Reading it felt like trespassing, like breaking into a sacred space I had no right to enter.But I was desperate. I opened to the first

  • When I’m Gone, You Love   Chapter 23: What He Deserved

    Blake‘s POV"Please." Her grip tightened. "Just help me back onto the bed. I tried to stand when I heard you coming, and now I feel dizzy."I lifted her carefully and set her back on the hospital bed, making sure she was settled against the pillows. Her hand stayed locked around mine the entire time, refusing to let go."There." I pulled free. "You're fine. I'm leaving.""Where are you going?""Elena is missing." The words didn’t leave a good taste in my mouth, "I have to find her."Something flickered in Lydia's expression. Satisfaction. Triumph. The look of a woman who'd already won and was just waiting for everyone else to realize it."So I'm really being abandoned?" she murmured, her voice soft with mock hurt. "After everything I've done for you?"I didn't answer. I clearly didn’t have time for her games. I had to find Elena and bring her back. Had to tell her—The door opened behind me and I turned, Sarah stood in the doorway with a confused look as she processed the scene. Her

So you can run back to your precious Lydia the moment things get difficult?""You don't know anything about—""I know everything." His voice was ice. I swung at him again. He dodged, caught my arm, twisted it behind my back."She's gone, Blake." His breath was hot against my ear. "She's not coming back.""You're lying.""Am I?" He released me with a shove that sent me stumbling. "Ask her father. He'll tell you the same thing."A long journey.Elena would never lie, espec
