Summary Of If He Had Been With Me Novels & Stories

He is an amazing man and deserves so much more than me. “I can feel you are upset through our bond,” he calls out to me as he waits for me in our bedroom. It still felt surreal. I was living with a man. My mate. And we have a bedroom we share. I never expected, after being rejected and punished for trying to kill my fated mate’s chosen mate, that I would have survived being a rogue much less been given a second chance.

Entirely mine. He was not my fated mate, but with him, I felt a connection that transcended anything I had ever experienced. The bond between us was not a fragile string that could be manipulated or broken, it was a powerful, unspoken understanding that felt more real than any of my past matings. Being with anyone else was now unthinkable for me. He had given me a purpose and a reason to fight for a future I had long thought was out of my reach. The promise of his return, the whispered words from the night before, filled me with a sense of hope I hadn't felt in years.

Then I saw those boarding passes—all of them headed to her—and every sacrifice I'd made felt like a sick joke. On the way to the place where we were supposed to have our mate-bonding ceremony, I kept telling myself maybe he'd gone to the Darkmoon pack for family reasons. But after what I saw today, I finally understood why he never came to see me, even when we were just a mile apart. He knew Vivian was the worst part of my childhood. He knew how much this mate-bonding ceremony meant to me. He knew that public rejection was the most brutal humiliation for a fated mate. And still, he said yes to her.

He said and walked away, leaving the house. ——End of flashback—— “So thats what started it. One day I saw him in the bar we met up at. That was like a day after he came to my place. That was the moment I knew I was damned.” Ife said. There were some things that were not adding up with her story. “Why didn’t you just go ahead and tell me about the abortion as I wasn’t going to bat an eyelid.” I said. I really wasn’t. At this point with Ama I didn’t think there was anything that had the power to break us apart.

But his tone had me suddenly nervous. “Don’t you dare tell me we lost someone? Someone’s hurt,” he said, pulling back and putting his hand on my shoulder. He thought I was helping, doing what I should have been. Just makes what I have to admit harder. But Sebby was the least of my concerns. “I have a fated mate, just met her literally minutes before the shit hit the fan, or while it was,” I said, looking into his eyes.

He followed me, he set up our first meeting. I could tell how badly he wanted this to work, but he was literally willing to give up his life so I would be happy. So I didn't have to give up my life… So I wouldn't have to give up everything I've ever known. Suddenly his thoughts changed. He had opened his eyes and he was wondering why I hadn't done it yet. His mind briefly went to the fact that he still had a chance, and then his eyes found my pouty lips. Before he could even think his next thought, he pulled me to him causing my knife, which I had a very loose grip on to begin with, to slip from my hand and clatter between the door and seat.

We sat at his breakfast bar and ate our takeout sipping on wine that he poured for us. “I don’t get it.” I begin, “He is the one who breaks up with me and now he is doing all this crap.” I say sipping my wine. “And to be honest, I am glad he broke up with me. I never would have met you if I had still been with him.” “I wouldn’t say that.” He says taking a bite of his huge burger. After swallowing he continued, “I believe in fate. I know it was fated for us to meet.”

Keysa said honestly. Aiys immediately hugged Keysa, "It's okay," said Aiys with tears in her eyes. "So the walk?" asked Keysa. Aiys immediately nodded quickly, "Yokk," Aiys spirit. Keysa and Aiys came out of the Promise Soul cafe. "How could I turn down the opportunity left with you," Keysa said quietly. No matter how hard a man will fall in front of the woman he loves Aiys returns home when orange sparkles fall on the blue sky. A day spent with Keysa is still not enough for him. Aiys brought a lot of things home, not royal but Keysa's gift.

His life had changed but if only she knew the reason why he had made that decision of marrying his secretary, she would understand and maybe, she wouldn’t let him go. “I don’t understand why you say you’ve been looking for me. I thought I had left the last franchises in the best hands; yours.” Amber said, turning around to him after having earned enough courage. Damien didn’t have the right to say anything about his feelings. What he was seeing from her and realizing how much her life had changed, he couldn’t get focused on one thing or even one question. The most important fact was she was there, right where the miracle had been fulfilled.

I looked at the lady, and I saw the sorrow deep in her eyes behind the smile she forced for me. She was trying to comfort me, but I just couldn’t give her the answer she was looking for. I couldn’t stay faithful to my mate, not when he couldn’t do the same for me. In the end, I dodged her eyes and nodded lightly. The Lady gave me a pass, and waved goodbye to me on the driveway as I entered the car Hannah sent for me. I wished she didn’t.
