Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 810

Chapter 810: 810-My Ex Mate And Her Broken Heart

Gavin:

It was quite bright when I woke up. The ground beneath me felt fresh, but a little wet. As I tried to grab onto what I was lying on, I realized it was probably just grass. I opened my eyes and stared at the beautiful open sky, clouds hanging above me. I closed my eyes again, thinking I could sleep for a few more minutes, but then realization struck, and I jolted upright.

I looked around and realized I was in a garden. A park. There were benches, swings, and slides, and there I was, with a basket full of fruits placed next to me. I didn’t understand why I had woken up in a garden. Then my eyes landed on a swing far away. I got up and walked steadily toward it, noticing someone sitting there. The entire place was empty except for us.

I remembered when Helanie told us about the room’s world nightmare. There were people there, she had said, but this place was completely different. As I approached the swing, her face slowly came into view. It was Lucy, my fated mate, the one I had once cheated on.

My steps slowed, then stopped. She was swinging gently, staring into the distance. She looked beautiful, as always. Her cute little dimple appeared when she smiled at the view of the mountains ahead, and it made my heart skip a beat. The wolf part of me vanished and there was no fated connection in that moment, just me, and just her.

"Lucy," I whispered. She slowly lowered her feet and stopped the swing. Then she raised her eyes to watch me approach. The little smile that had formed on her face was gone. There were so many complaints in her eyes that I felt a surge of anger toward myself.

I walked to her and sat on the empty swing beside her. She stared at me for a moment before looking away.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I came after you," I said. She smiled, but it was almost sarcastic.

"What made you think I’d come with you?" she asked, her voice low and soft, not the fake Lucy the entity had been entertaining.

"I’m so sorry. I’ve let you down," I said. No matter how many times I apologized, it had never been enough.

Now that I was here with her, and it was just the two of us, all the memories rushed back. The times we spent together. We had been the best of friends. Then I had a crush on her. I proposed, and later we discovered we were fated mates. And then I cheated on her. One night, stressed and drunk, I broke her heart, and instead of telling her the truth, I made her feel guilty for suspecting something was wrong. I put her in the same room as Jenny so many times before she finally found out.

I had been the villain of her story, a monster, maybe The Rune, whether she admitted it or not, whether anyone else admitted it or not. It was the truth. Lucy’s life had been affected because of me.

"We were not only mates, we were best friends too." As soon as I said that, her head snapped toward me, and she frowned.
