Chapter 12

I noticed anguish in Aaron's gaze as he looked at me intently.

Despite my constant affection for him, I found myself harming him to defend another.

His actions led to the end of my feelings for him, and now he would face the consequences.

He reverted to his human shape, as did Alpha Jack. Aaron's face showed shock as he exclaimed, "Why are you defending him?!"

"He's superior to you!" I shouted in response.

He scoffed, "In what way?"

When I remained silent, he added, "You even attacked and snarled at me. Have you lost all affection for me?"

Alpha Jack moved from behind me to stand at my side, "Are you alright?"

I confirmed, "Yes."

Aaron glanced my way, "I apologize, Zoe. I didn't intend to assault your Alpha, I was merely envious. Come with me and we'll forget this happened."

I sighed in exasperation, "Can't you comprehend what I'm saying? I've turned you down, I don't want to be with you anymore! I just want you to go away!"
