I showered and tried to lay down. I may have napped for an hour, but I woke up missing my mate. I got up and got dressed for the day, I also applied light make up and brushed my hair. Nobody was here for some reason so I decided to walk up the road to see Chris. It is a beautiful day sunshine and a very light breeze. I make my way onto the front porch opening the door. " Where's my handsome mate, I miss you already." I called out. As I walked further into the kitchen, Tristan grabbed my hand and held me around my waist "I'm here, I gotcha beautiful." as he kissed my temple. I look over and see that blonde sitting in Chris's lap. " Tess darling that's Jenna, Chris's chosen mate and our soon to be Luna. Jenna this is my mate Tessa." Tristan said.
" You have got to be fucking kidding me right?" I looked at Tristan and then over at Chris.
" No love I'm not kidding." Tristan frowned. I think he felt my legs shaking starting to give out on me. I glanced at Chris once more, he didn't even have the decency to look at me in the eyes, he just looked down. Looking around the table Uncle Ben looked lost, Aunt Deidre looked devastated and Sam looked guilty with misty eyes looking straight back at me.
" We should go around back and join Jaxon on the porch." Tristan half smiled while holding me up helping me navigate my way outside. As soon as we got outside Tristan sat me on the swing with Jax. I instantly started to cry, I couldn't hold my hurt any longer. Jaxon sat by me clenching his jaw, wrapping his arm around me.
" Dad didn't allow me to punch him, I wanted to and I tried, but dad stopped me." he said sounding defeated.
" Thank you Jax but you can't fight with him, he's your cousin and your Alpha. But just know I appreciate you " I hiccuped out between sobs. I saw Christian coming out of the garage, he lives in an apartment that's on the second level.
" What the fuck happened?" he asked while jogging up to us
" Go ask our brother and his chosen mate." Tristan replied.
" I'll fucking end him." Christian declared angrily walking past me. I grabbed his wrist and shook my head, " No your family, you all aren't fighting him for me." I heard the door open and I saw Sam walk out. She looked at me " I'm so sorry, I thought after he felt the bond with you he'd change his mind. I don't know what he's thinking, I never have when it comes to that bitch in there. But, please know I apologize from
the depths of my heart."
I scoffed at her " You apologize but you knew, you didn't warn me of that woman's existence. You stood there with us last night celebrating with us. You allowed him to use me and throw me away, you could have warned me, given me a heads up, but no you stood to the side and let me believe that man loves me. While you knew he promised himself to another. I know you are like his best friend and it's his back you have, but as a woman you should have stopped me. Fuck Jax is my best friend and if the shoe was on the other foot I would have told you.Hearts are fragile and you stood by and let him chew mine up." I told her aggressively.
" This is it, he broke me. I don't think I'll ever be whole again, I will never love or trust a man." I cried
