My lips trembled as the echo of Jester’s voice filled my head. He called her love. Not me.

But the words tangled on my tongue. “Don’t compare, Javi,” I whispered instead, my voice trembling. “Don’t twist it like that. I do love you.” He snapped his gaze to me, eyes glistening, shoulders taut. “Yeah,” he said, voice raw. “I know you do. But not the way I want. Not as your lover. Just as your friend.

It consumed her with jealousy, and the tension in the air intensified with each passing second. "Oh, darling, did you really think he cared about someone like you?" Jade laughed, the sound filled with contempt. "Don't be ridiculous. He only kept you alive because you're my toy, a gift he brought for me. I am his mate, the only one who matters. You?

I agreed to leave, thinking things would go the way I wanted. I wiped the tears off my face and slumped on my bed, feeling weak from within. I shouldn't have left back then. I shouldn't have betrayed my lover. But Jared... How was he any different? He was a liar, too! That bitchy omega, what made him any different from me?
