I Saved Her Life, He Chose Her Over Me Novels & Stories

She'd been cold and distant when we were together, but now, with Caleb's face, she was all warmth and tenderness. I'd known she only stayed with me to save Caleb. If I could turn back time, I'd never have rushed into that burning building to save her. Being a devoted fool had only led to my destruction. "Don't touch me," I growled. Clara blinked. "Are you feeling ill? I'll call the doctor—" I coughed, fixing her with a cold stare. "Looking at you makes me sick. Get out." "What did you say?" she whispered, stunned.

“You’re embarrassing yourself.” He stayed on his knees, looking up at me with desperate hope. “I love you,” he whispered. “Don’t do this. Don’t choose him over us.” I looked down at the man I had once planned a future with and felt nothing but sadness. “Alex… I didn’t choose him over you,” I said quietly. “You chose Bianca over me the moment you let me drown. You chose her every time you ignored me for months. You chose comfort and familiarity over actually seeing me.”

She had finally seen the kind person he was and I sincerely hoped that she would choose herself for once in her life. But I was wrong. Just like always, she chose to go back to that man. I really regretted the things I did for her. I lost Selena just to save her and it did nothing to change her mind. She was still the stupid woman who liked being hit by her husband.

I wanted to go save her but Cedric made me choose, and I can't possibly choose her over thousands of lives in exchange. 'I love you The words she said made me falter. We loved each other from the start, yet we were never given a chance to get to show it, all because of my mistakes. In life it is inevitable to sometimes choose the wrong decisions, we somehow get blinded by the things that we want and how we want things to be, rather than doing what's right and worthy.

I hated myself for missing that strength. “That is why I chose you,” I said instead. “That is why I left her.” I pulled her gently toward me. She stiffened, then shrank back, as shy as a startled deer. The reaction made my stomach twist. What had I seen in her that made me burn everything else down? Maybe it really was the pregnancy. “I will always choose you,” I continued. “That is why Soraya is gone.” Suddenly, she shoved me. The force caught me off guard. I stumbled backward, barely avoiding the shattered glass beneath my feet.

I whispered, “He actually chose her over me.” "Then that’s on him. Not you.”

only for him to spit in my face the first chance he got. And that’s the man she’s fighting to save? Jealousy twisted in my gut, black and poisonous. She’d ignored me...ignored my command...to kneel for a stranger like he owns her! “You think he deserves your hands on him?” I hissed, fury crackling like electricity. “You’d choose him over me? Over my word?” Her lips parted, defiant. “I didn’t choose him. I chose life. And that’s what I’ll always do.”

I blinked and forced my emotion to remain at bay. But then, what? She wouldn't betray the man simply because he saved her life. Then, what was the one I did for her? Or has she forgotten so quickly that the pack's doctor said she might have died if she wasn't brought in when I took her in? But, no, she chose to give her loyalty to the same man who would have cut short the same life she was claiming that he saved.

"But when she did, she wanted to save one person from the hands of the Patrons, and she chose you." I almost laughed at the irony of it all. She chose me to live and survive? But I wasn't even living in Blackthorn's pack. And to think my life had stayed that way for years since I was a baby... Save me, my foot. She neglected me! She didn't care at all! "Please, spare me that!" I waved her off and went to the bed to sit.

She said lowly, as if reliving the moment. “And then… he came. Alpha Luciano. He pulled me from the jaws of death. His presence…was unlike anything I had ever seen. From that day, I vowed to be with him forever.” I stared at her, my brows furrowed in disbelief. She decided to force herself on a man just because he saved her. What happened to thanks for saving my life and then moving on? “I’ve listened to your story,” I said calmly. “Now you should leave.”
