Letting Him Go (Revised) completed

Chapter 4

*Chapter 4*

*Matthew*

She was leaving tomorrow, and I had to get my wolf under control. The way she blatantly ignored me was making me crazy. I was fighting hard not to rip that boy's head off. Jeleously spread through my body because he had her love, and I was sure despite how the mate bond made her feel, she hated that she felt anything for me. I couldn't say I blamed her. Just because I understood it didn't mean I liked it. I had to see her one last time. I drove to her house thinking I was crazy even going there; this couldn't end well. It wouldn't end well. Yet, I couldn't make myself leave. I knocked on the door, and she answered.

All the breath left my body, and I just looked at her, trying to memorize every inch of her. Her brown hair flowed down her back in waves, and her beautiful brown eyes narrowed when she saw me.

"What are you doing here?" She asked, her frown growing by the second.

"I just wanted to say goodbye to you," I explained, still unsure what I was doing there.

"Well, goodbye!" She said, trying to slam the door in my face.

"Please, can you just take a ride with me?" I asked, hopefully knowing that we shouldn't.

"Why should I go anywhere with you?"

She was right, but I didn't care. I needed this time with her.

"Please." I pleaded.

"Will it make you go away quicker?" She said, her eyes full of anger.

"Yes, I promise I will let you go in peace if you just give me this," I promised.

"Fine, but I must finish packing since your ass sent me into exile. I can't be gone long." She said with a glare.

I knew she was mad at me, but I was doing all I could to make this easier for her, even if it didn't seem like it.

*Mandy*

Alli was leaving tomorrow, and I knew Matthew was going to her. I couldn't stop how my heart was breaking. I knew he loved me, but I also knew he loved her more.

I should do the right thing and let him go, but I couldn't. He was all I had; my parents were dead, and I had no siblings. I was alone; Matthew was my only family. I admired Alli; I respected her; few would have done what she did. Alli had every right to Matthew; Alli was his perfect match. Instead, she respected our marriage; I will forever be grateful. When I received the news from my doctor that I was pregnant, I was hesitant to tell Matthew, afraid of how he would react to the information. Would he be happy?

*Alli*

What the hell was I doing going anywhere with Matthew? I wish I knew the reason for my reckless choices. Who was I kidding? I knew precisely why I was sitting in a car next to him. I wanted to spend what little time I could with him, and I hated myself for it.

We got to the park, and he opened my door for me. I hesitated a few seconds before I finally got out.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked, my eyes on his.

"I can't imagine anything changed."

"Can we not at least be friends?" He asked softly, looking tired.

"Friends, are you kidding me? You're my mate. The one I was supposed to grow old with, Mr. Eastman." I said because I knew he would hate me calling him that.

"You're the other half of my soul. You were supposed to be the father of my children! So no, we can't be friends!" I exclaimed, my eyes starting to glow. I knew that I was unfair, but so was he.
