It felt like someone had sucker-punched me. I stood there stunned, as Ethan answered, "Emma understands that what we have isn't serious, plus she's my best friend's little sister."
His words stung like a slap. Not serious? What is he saying? Was that how he viewed our relationship?
Jack's next comment cut to the bone. "You didn't know that when you were banging her," he said, And the room burst into laughter.
I felt my world crumbled. I couldn't bear it anymore. I spun around and bolted, tears rolling down my cheeks. I made it to my room and fell onto my bed feeling like I might pass out. I could sense the panic setting in, my chest constricting, my breaths coming in quick gasps.
"Emma breathe..." I made an effort to relax, but it didn't help. The panic attack started to control me.
Maybe he didn't mean what he said, maybe you are just being paranoid, he loves you Emma, or doesn't he, I don't know anymore!
I could not move, I was still trying to grasp what Ethan had just said. I thought we had something genuine between us. A certain bond that would hold us together. I even believed that we were mates, maybe when I finally got my wolf he would realize that.
