Chapter 25

~Jayden~

What the hell is going on with me? One minute I'm ready to reject Kehlani to give my family a chance, and the next, the thought of being without her makes me feel like I can’t breathe. I didn’t plan on bringing up her past rejection, but it just came out. I feel a bit jealous; she had a fated before me. That’s crazy since I had a mate before her and an entire child. Just the thought of someone else in her life, touching her, loving her…. drives Jace and me crazy. I had to admit that I planned to reject Kehlani, but I didn’t expect to feel so heartbroken about it. Then Kehlani started talking about me rejecting her, and I didn’t want to hear it. When she started to speak those words, my heart….it was like someone had my heart in a vice grip and wouldn’t let it go. The more words she spoke, the tighter the hold felt. I had to stop her no matter what.
