While Ashton was still asleep, I booked a flight to Italy on the same day when our wedding was decided to take place. I called one of my closest friends and she agreed and supported my decision strongly and helped me arrange for everything in the foreign land.
The next morning when I woke up, everything seemed to have changed. Even when I heard Ashton frantically talking to someone, trying to soothe them down, I didn’t care at all.
“Bella, don’t cry, please. I know you don’t want to hurt Isabella even when she took me away from you. You are so kind to everyone, Bella. What would I do with you?”
“The person I love will always be you. If you say you love me, I’d do anything for you.”
“But... the Alpha considers Isabella a friend and has invited many important people from different packs. If I back out now, he would be furious.”
I felt like throwing up as I heard his elated laughter that followed next and he said excitedly, “Yes, even if I marry her, I would take vows with both our names. And during the oath taking ceremony, I will bribe the pack priest. No one can break us apart.”
Even though I had decided to end things, I was stunned with how cruel he was.
