Now that I marked her, I could feel my Mate's sadness and her fear. She was afraid of me, and I couldn't blame her. I had promised something to her yesterday, and I let her down. I promised to show her how much I needed her, and I broke that promise. And when I did come, I hurt her.

Ronan was playing his game well. He had broken me.

He pressed the bag of fallen hair against his face and released scream after scream of raw, gut-wrenching anguish. "Lily... I'm sorry... I was wrong... I was so wrong!"

A rusted solid steel pipe leaned against the wall. It was the one they'd used to brace the broken door shut at night. A deranged idea took shape in his mind. He had used a fake broken leg to steal my sympathy and my love. He believed that if he truly became the crippled, penniless wretch he'd once pretended to be, I would forgive him. I would come back to him.

She had gotten bored with him, the same way she got bored with the six before him, used and discarded without a second thought. I almost pitied him for being this stupid. "Spend your time inside thinking about what you've done. When you get out, try being a decent human being for once instead of ruining other people's lives." Bryce's face went chalk white.

I hate you." That was all I could yell throwing anything my hand could reach and breaking whatever was breakable close to me. I have never in my life felt such public humiliation, never felt rejection, never felt so broken before. I had no one to turn to or confide in.
