Chapter 20 Feel My Pain

ZIRA Just like that, my world came crashing down in one single moment. A moment that was cementing itself in my mind. I didn't expect the scene in front of me. Isaiah, my Isaiah, was kissing another girl in front of everybody. He found his mate. That was the only explanation. That had to be the only explanation. He didn't even realize I was there. Was I just a passing memory? I could feel myself moving toward them, but I stopped. What was I going to do? I couldn't be mad; I couldn't be mad. I kept telling myself. I wouldn't allow myself to be mad. I wasn't his mate, and it's not like we ever defined our relationship, right? Right? Besides, he's an Alpha, and I'm just a hunter. I wasn't worthy of being his anyway. Still, I didn't think I would find myself at this moment, watching as everyone in the room seemed happy while I was breaking down inside. Them kissing was the only image in my head as I bolted out the back door. I needed some air. I needed to find a way to be cool about this.
