Xaden stood there like a hanging fly as she ushered her final words of rejection.
It wasn't supposed to hurt this bad.
After all he didn't have a heart.
After all he had grown to be a cold man.
To put everything before his emotions.
His job as an Alpha.
Logic first before anything else.
And yet here was torn.
Confused and In anguish.
He had no idea what to say.
For the first time it was like he wasn't himself anymore.
Whether to scream and shake her to tell him that she did have an affair with Hunter and that he would forgive her.
He would forgive her even though she had.
Even though the evidence proved that she did.
Even though he had been so blinded with rage and jealousy that he had locked her up in a dark room as punishment.
He wanted to cut himself and feel physical pain rather than the ache he felt in his chest.
Where his heart should be.
He rubbed his face and began pacing the room.
