CHAPTER 139: The Fall of an Alpha
RHEA
Aron takes another step and the space between us disappears. I can feel his heat and it’s like it’s enveloping me.
“What are you hiding?” he repeats. “Tell me and I won’t punish you for this little act.”
My lips press together as I try to look away. But I can’t, his fingers wrap around my chin and forces my face back to him.
“Don’t try to look away,” he growls.
“Nothing.” I say through my teeth.
“Don’t lie.”
I pull his hand away from my face. “I’m not lying. If I would be, I wouldn’t be here. Rather somewhere even far away. Don’t think for a moment that I can’t run. I have already–twice.” I remind him of the times he has lost me.
It’s not hard.
“And I have caught you twice.” He inches forward.
“So?”
His lips curl. “I like a chase, but you’ll never win against me. You know it and so do I.”
There’s something in my chest that starts to burn. I hate when he does that. I hate when he says the truth.
I push his arm to the side, away from me, so I can escape but the second I’m out, Aron’s hand is on mine and he yanks me back to him, his fingers bruising as they tighten on my skin and pull me into his arms.
“What were you doing here?”
“Nothing, like I’ve already said. I just came for a run-”
“I think you came for something more.”
“Don’t you have to go back be with your men and fight?” I snap back at him.
“Not until I know what you were up to.” His voice is hoarse.
“You’ll be waiting a long time.” I push him back a little. But he doesn’t budge, instead his fingers dig into my hips and his eyes flare.
The weather starts to turn. It’s more than a few droplets of rain that begin to fall over my face.

“Or not.” He states. There’s a slight smirk on his face as his gaze falls down from my face, lower to the valley between my breasts, down my belly and then between my thighs. He stares for a little longer, until his eyes flick back up at my face. You were waiting for him to come.”
“You’re delusional.”
“Tell me you don’t think of him. Tell me you don’t have feelings for him and all this–I’ll let it go. All of it.” His voice wavers, like he’s scared of it or something. Like it would pain him to hear me speak of Cade, like I’m his.
But I’m not his, and that’s the truth.
Aron’s eyes drop on my lips and my stomach tightens, the warmth spreading across my belly. And it shouldn’t.
“I don’t.” I whisper.
His eyes come up to mine. There’s something like satisfaction and relief. I can see that clearly.
“You know better than anyone that I’m not going to love anyone else as I did you. I fell for you, Aron. I loved you and I thought that was true. I’m never going to feel the same for anyone. What we had was–special and different.” The words pour out of me. And it’s true. Everything is. What I had felt for Aron wasn’t normal. It wasn’t supposed to happen and I don’t regret a second.
Even if it was a mistake.
Because at the end of the day, I did fall in love. I did love.
My hand reaches for the side of his cheek and his eyes shift from me. My fingers brush against his warm skin, and his breaths become deeper.
I reach forward, closer, and closer, until my lips Successfully unlocked!
He doesn’t respond, at first, not even for a moment. isip are unny against me, until I pull his head closer, my fingers in his hair. He parts his lips, and his tongue brushes mine. It sends shivers down my spine, making me gasp into the kiss. It’s slow, deep, and everything that it shouldn’t be.
His hands come up around my waist and drawe

Because it’s the first time, that I have ever felt so good in a while.
And this is the last time I’m going to feel it. I’m going to be free after tonight.
There’s a small noise of surprise coming from my lips when Aron’s hand slides into my hair, pulling on it. It hurts a little, but the warmth in my belly spreads, the arousal flooding me.
I bring up the syringe to my hand and the tip of the needle presses against his neck. I sink it straight in and before Aron can even pull back from me, I push it further into his neck until it’s empty.
In an instant, his head falls on my shoulder. The heat of his body curls around me as I wrap my arms around him, holding him upright while he falls limp and then straight unconscious.
It’s a higher dose, for a stronger wolf.
My knees buckle and we both go down onto the soft ground. The rain begins to pour harder and heavier, wetting everything and anything in its way.
His body slumps against mine, his face pressed against my chest.
I can’t look at him.
My chest starts aching, tightening. There’s something inside that is painful and making me tear up, but I can’t cry over it. Not this.
I hold Aron’s face in my hands. He’s never going to forgive me for this. I already know that. But I don’t need his forgiv…ess, because after tonight, he won’t be around me, or near me.
I loved him, I did.
But he ruined me.
