Broken & Rejected (Werewolf Romance)

23.

Kieran POV

I was currently sat out in Oliver's land, on top of a stone bridge. The sound of the water flowing and crashing against some rocks in the river down below seemed a little comforting. I rushed out here after Jamie had told me about what he had done. I am still struggling to deal with it. I looked down into the water and got lost deep in my thoughts. 

"Here you are, Oliver was right when he suggested to me that you would be out here" Felicity said as she walked over and stood next to me

"I had to get out, I needed to be alone" I said, still looking down into the water

"Oliver told me what he said to you in there, Kieran I am so sorry" Felicity said as she placed her hand on my shoulder

"You should leave while you still can" I said in a serious tone

"I'm not leaving here without you" Felicity said in a confused tone

"I don't mean here, Felicity, I mean you should leave me all together, I almost got you killed once, I can't do that to you again" I explained in a little more detail

"What? No Kieran I am not leaving you, not now, not ever, I can't" Felicity said in a serious tone and shook her head

"Felicity, he almost killed you once because of me, he wants to see me suffer, he wants me dead and he won't stop until he gets what he wants" I pointed out

"Kieran, look I know you think this is your fault because of what he has said and told you but it's not your fault, please don't let him win, don't let him break us, not now after all we've gone through to get here together, after all we've built up together" Felicity begged

"You could do so much better than me" I said simply

"No, Kieran I can't" Felicity said as she began to cry

"I'm not giving you a choice" I said

It broke me to see Felicity cry, it really did and normally I would cuddle her, hug her, comfort her anything she wanted but not this time. 

"I love you, Felicity, I always have since we agreed to be mates and I always will but this, me setting you free, it's what's best for both of us" I said as I climbed down off the bridge and walked off. 

Felicity POV

I couldn't believe it. He was giving up on us just like that. He was letting Jamie win and come between us. I know he needs me more than anything but I also need him just as much. Maybe I should just give him some time on his own and hope that he changes his mind. 

I walked back to Oliver and Jenny's house. They were both there waiting for, well they were waiting for both of us to return. 

"where's Kieran?" Oliver asked

"Umm he walked off on his own after he umm told me I'd be better off without him and told me to leave, he wasn't giving me the choice" I said as I felt myself tearing up again

"Oh sweetheart, come inside, Oliver go and find Kieran" Jenny said as she walked over and hugged me. 

Oliver had agreed and walked off whilst Jenny had taken me inside. We both sat down and someone had sorted us out some tea. 

"If I remember yours right its 2 and a half sugars and a little milk" Jenny smiled

"Yes correct until I need the herbal tea" I smiled

"Herbal tea? Why would you - Oh I see" Jenny began to ask but then realised what I was saying

I just nodded in response.
