Chapter 22

  Ace’s POV

  I felt gutted knowing everything she said was true. I don’t know why I doubted her, maybe it was my own guilt or I was just too blinded by my anger after what Melana told me, that I didn’t see sense but now I felt like a piece of shit for not believing her, when she had never given me reason to question her before. Lucy usually owned up to her wrongs and now I was going to have to do the same.

  Lucy stormed off to Tyson’s room and I didn’t blame her, she hated me. I hated me for what I did but I never expected her to have the bond removed and now I had to face her rejecting me all over again. Leaning on the verandah wall I toss my smoke. Ryker comes out with Reika and he opens the car door for her. A growl escapes him when he spots me leaning on the wall. I watch as he shuts her door before walking over to me. I know what is coming, could see it a mile away as he stalked up the steps toward me. I face him head on and don’t even flinch when he raises his fist.
