“I didn’t, Agnes. I thought about you every single day. I wanted to reach out, but I didn’t know how. And Ava… she kept pushing the lie, making it sound like I’d ruin your life if I showed up again.”

I felt a wave of nausea hit me. Years of pain, confusion, and heartache–because of one person’s manipulation. My fists clenched at my sides as I tried to process it all.

“Why would she do that?” I asked, my voice shaky.

Mason shook his head, his jaw tightening.

“I don’t know. I think she enjoyed the control… enjoyed playing us like pawns.‘

I stared at him, the weight of missed chances and stolen years pressing down on me. “So all of it… everything we went through… was because of her?”

He nodded. “Yes. And I’m so sorry, Agnes. I didn’t know how to fix it back then. I thought you were better off without me.”

My mind spun as I tried to comprehend the depth of the betrayal. Ava had stolen something precious from both of us–years we couldn’t get back, a future that never happened. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to scream or cry.

Just as I opened my mouth to say something, I caught a glimpse of Elijah from the corner of my eye. He had been silent through the entire conversation, but I could feel the tension radiating off him. His face was a mask of barely concealed anger, his eyes hardening as he listened.

“Elijah…” I started, but before I could finish, he turned on his heel and walked out of the auction hall without a word.

Elijah

The moment I stepped outside the auction hall, the cold air hit my skin like a slap, but it did nothing to cool the fire raging inside me. My pulse thudded in my ears, my chest tight.

What was wrong with me?

Why had I lost control like that?

It wasn’t about the artifact. Hell, I didn’t even care about it. But when I saw the way Agnes had looked at that man -Mason–it had triggered something dark and ugly inside me. Possessiveness. Jealousy.

Two emotions I rarely indulged, but there they were, twisting in my gut like a viper.

Agnes wasn’t mine. She had never been mine. Not really. But somehow, over the past few months, I had come to think of her as something more than a business partner or a temporary arrangement. Somewhere along the line, my feelings for her had changed, grown into something far more complicated than I had allowed myself to admit. And seeing Mason again–a man who had clearly once held her heart–it had cracked open something I had buried deep. A fear that maybe, just maybe, she could be taken away from me.

That she would leave, just like everyone else had.

1 clenched my fists, my jaw tight. Damn it.

As I turned the corner, I nearly bumped into Olivia.

Her face was drawn, her eyes red and puffy, like she had been crying. I hadn’t seen her in days, and a part of me

had hoped to avoid her for as long as possible. But fate had other plans.

“You had no right to humiliate me like that, Elijah,” she spat, her voice trembling with emotion. “Do you have any idea what that did to me? You didn’t just ruin my reputation–you shattered me in front of everyone.”

I said nothing, my jaw clenching as I listened. Olivia’s pain was palpable, and a part of me knew I was responsible for some of it. But the truth was, it had been a long time coming.

Her voice cracked as she continued. “It’s not just about the divorce… It’s everything. You never loved me. I know that now. I hoped that you’d stay in the marriage for Thea’s sake, but it wasn’t enough. You never wanted me, did you?”

She was right. I hadn’t loved her–not the way she wanted, at least. I had tried, for years, to convince myself that love would grow, that I could make it work.

But deep down, I had always known the truth. My wolf had never accepted her, had never felt that bond. And now, standing here, facing her raw pain, I wondered if I was broken.
