“There's nothing for you to be sorry about, Tess. If there's anyone between who has to apologise, it's me, not you.” I blink and pout my lips as I stare at her beautiful face.
I never knew Tessa liked make-up. She looks so pretty with it on.
“Tessa I cannot…”
“Stop!” She says, holding her palm out before my face. “If you're going to apologise for leaving the way you did two years ago, don't. There's no need.”
“But I…”
“But nothing! It was the will of the Moon goddess. You needed a break with everything that was going on and she made sure you had that break. She even blessed you. Look where you are now. You wouldn't be the incredible designer you are today if you had stayed here. This was the Moon goddess' plan for you!”
“If this is her plan, it means she doesn't want me to be with Alpha Reagan anymore. Back then I prayed to her. I begged her to take me far from him and she did just that. She even sent his former mate to come take back her place in his life again.”
“That's definitely not what's going on.”
“Then what's going on? Why is Selena back from the dead after five years?” I ask with a deep frown plastered on my face.
Just talking about Selena makes me so mad.
Tessa backs away and gives me a queer look.
“What?”
“You're mad that she has shown up, aren't you?”
“What do you think?”
“I think there's nothing for you to be worried about.” A crease forms between my brows as I furrow them, giving Tessa and intense look.
“What do you mean by that?”
“You're the one Alpha Reagan loves and when the time comes for him to make a choice, he will choose you!”
“You don't know that. Besides, Selena will be devastated if that happens. I'm sure she still loves him. I don't want to be the source of another girl's pain.”
“You don't have to say anything, Ash. Just observe like the rest of us and know that you are the only woman Alpha Reagan loves and wants to be with.”
“Why are you do sure of that?”
“Because I watched break down and lose his mind when you left. He was devastated and I can see the joy in his eyes now that you are here. You two are end game, Ash. Whether you like it or not!”
“It's not a must for us to be endgame.”
“You're right. It's not. But you are end game.”
I roll my eyes and look away from her.
I wish things are as easy as she thinks they are.
With Selena in the picture. Nothing is guaranteed!
And why exactly do I care? I thought I said I wanted to stay single.
