Romans & histoires I Saved Her Life, He Chose Her Over Me

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.

"Oh do I see possessiveness? You are smitten by a shewolf brother? Damn I underestimated that girl." Grabbing his collar,I pull him to me. Almost seething at him. "Stop talking like that about her Ray. I fucking warn you." He raises his brow, to only smirk at me. "Why? What is she for you that you scold and humiliate your own brother for her?" "Huh?" And that's when I did it. Not thinking about anything else. Leaving his collar, I decide to say the biggest lie of my life, to save her. "I select her to be my chosen. Happy?"

Javier and I fell on the dashboard, and the cars behind me honked because I stopped so quickly. “I hate you again...” After that, I heard a busy tone. “What the heck is wrong with you, sir?” Javier said it in surprise. I turned toward Javier. “I’m not dreaming, right?” “Of course not. You are alive, and if you want to kill me, don’t take me anymore.” Javier growled. “She chose me,” I told Javier. I couldn’t stop smiling and staring in shock. “She chose me.” “Is there a problem between you and your wife?”

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.”

"I thought you were going to save me." He smirked, the glint in his eye mischievous. "Oh, I was, but I changed my mind. You see, I had to sacrifice you to her. She’s obviously really into me, and I had no choice but to let you face her alone to save myself. But you survived, didn’t you?"
