RUBY
I feel everything when I shouldn't.
I feel nothing at the same time.
I stared at Troy, unmoving. He still looked handsome even with tears streaming down his face. Why? He had hurt me. He had no reason to look that good. No right to make me feel this way.
And yet.
I couldn't look away from him anymore. I hated myself. Hated my heart for feeling when it shouldn't. Not for a man like Troy. A man who whose words in one evening almost destroyed me.
Does he realize I could have died that night? I wondered. My mind went back to that night, when he scooped Alana into his arms an hour after I had lost our pup. When he stared at me coldly and told me to behave even when he saw the blood stains on what should have been my wedding dress.
His father had me banished, I was gone. And yet he didn't think I could have been killed outside the pack border?
What if Austin and his father hadn't found me?
