Chapter 11

(Addison’s POV)

I thought about it for a second and came up totally empty. I honestly don’t have an answer for this. This is just so much to take in right now. I feel that if I were to talk to Arianna, I would be manipulating her. I just don’t know what to do.

Aiden was looking at me very warily. I instantly felt a pang of guilt as I looked at his beautiful, green eyes. They held so much pain in them. I have to swallow this guilt though, because I just don’t see how I can be with him. I don’t think I’m fit to live in his kind of world full of nightmares and monsters. But, I don’t think I have it in me to leave Hunter hanging in the dust. He may be a scary werewolf, but he is still a person, kind of, and I would hate to see him die. I don’t think I could live with the guilt if he was to die and I could have somehow stopped it. I knew what I had to do.

I hesitated for a moment before I gave Aiden his answer, contemplating if this is what I really wanted. “All right,” I told him nervously, “I’ll talk to her.”

Aiden quickly let out the breath he was holding, as relief washed across his features. “Thank you so much, Addison. You really don’t know what this means to me.” His face held so much love. He quickly pulled me into a warm embrace and I couldn’t help, but melt into his arms. Suddenly the thought of him being a werewolf resurfaced to the top of my brain and I instantly stiffened. Aiden pulled back slowly with a look of confusion and hurt.  “Addison…?” he asked slowly.

I looked down, not able to hold eye contact with his pain filled orbs. I took a few deep breaths, readying myself for what I was about to say. “Aiden…I… I- ah, don’t see how this could work…” I trailed off gesturing between the two of us.

I snuck a look up at Aiden an instantly regretted it. He looked like he was going through immense torture as he had a ton of emotions flashing across his eyes. Truthfully, he looked like he was about to throw up… His breathing rapidly picked up and it appeared that he was going to start hyperventilating.

“Aiden, are you ok?” I hesitantly brought my hand up to touch his shoulder comfortingly.

His mouth opened and closed, acting as if he was searching for words. He finally came up with a few words to sputter out, “A- are y-you re- rejecting m-me?” he stuttered out, cringing on the word ‘rejection.’

I was thrown for a loop at his question. I don’t know if I was rejecting him or not, that word sounded so final. Let’s be honest here, I still have major feelings for him, I just don’t see how this could work out. “Not necessarily… I think I just need some space for awhile, but I’ll still talk to Arianna for you…”

I could tell my answer didn’t make him feel any better, he honestly looked sick. He simply gave me a nod of his head as a response.

Once again guilt gnawed at my heart, but I had to stay strong if I was going to finish this. I realized I had to leave now before I lost the will power to do it. “I should go,” I whispered before I swung my broken leg off the bed and began hobbling towards the door. I turned around to sneak one last glance at Aiden. He wasn’t even looking at me; his attention was solely fixed on the wall. His eyes were wide, his mouth was slightly opened, and he looked to be in total shock. I instantly longed to run to his side and make all this go away, but I knew I needed to do this. “Goodbye Aiden,” I whispered before I turned back to the door and walked out.  

(Aiden’s POV)

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I should have never left you,” Addison’s tear streaked face came running at me. As soon as she got to me she jumped up into my arms, wrapping her long legs around my hips. I pulled her as tight to me as physically possible; I would never let this girl go again. I crashed my lips down onto hers, not being able to contain myself anymore. She let out a soft moan, which caused me to smile into the kiss.  I ran my hands through her long, silky hair not being able to resist. This girl was too good for me.
