Her Son Kaden

78| Hurting

"She loved him."

Amelia's POV

I sat in my room and stared at nothing. I was angry and hurt.

Finally after a while of being alone the door opened to reveal Kaden.

"Amelia-" he began and I looked at him.

"What?" I hissed and scowled at him.

"Amelia, you can't act like you're the only one being hurt here." Kaden growled and I scoffed at him. He walked toward the bathroom and I glared at his back.

"You're caught up on some dead girl!" I yelled at him feeling my throat tightening. The feeling of rejection was overwhelming.

Kaden turned swiftly and gave me a long look, "She's not some dead girl, her name is Emma." He said in a distant voice and I scowled. I could feel his love and mourning for her through the bond, and it killed me. My jaw clenched and relaxed repeatedly and Rain howled in pain.

"Was Emma. She's dead! Is this why you were so cruel to me?! You were mad I wasn't some redhead dream girl? Is that what it was? You wanted your little Emma back?" I hissed my pain and anger mixing.

Why had he never told me? There was so many times he could've told me.

"Amelia..." he started almost like he was going to try to comfort me and I snapped.

"Don't! Don't say a damn thing to me! I should've known, I should've known." I yelled hearing my own voice cracking and felt tears pool in my eyes.

Who could possibly love me? The messed up Omega girl turned Luna? I whimpered inside and turned away from him.

Noah loves us. Noah will take care of us. Rain said in a soft voice.

But Noah isn't our mate. I responded and to that Rain was silent.

Kaden was quiet for a bit and I looked back at him and noticed that around my mark was red and scratched up; like he'd tried to claw it off. The sight made my heart twist and I looked away quickly.

I was his mate now... Not that girl. How could I compete with a dead person? I shouldn't have to compete with a dead person, I was his mate!

All this time... all this time he's been thinking about her. Her body. Her lips... Why is it always me who takes all the pain? What did I ever do to deserve this?

Tears escaped from my eyes and ran hot down my cheeks. My throat tightened in sorrow and I swallowed the lump that had formed.

I felt the bed dip and a snarl rushed from me and without thinking I whirled around and pushed him knocking him from the bed. He landed on the ground and stood.

"List--" He began and I bared my fangs at him.

"Leave." I snarled and showed him my back.

For a while all was silent except for my ragged breaths. My heart ached and my head spun. Stupid Goddess-forsaken bond.

"Emma was the first person to make me feel alive. She was the first to love me for me, despite of my monsters. She was everything you aren't... you're both so different." He said and if it were another situation maybe I'd laugh.

"So it was never real? All of this has been some sick game for you?" I said and my voice wavered. My jaw clenched as I fought to contain my sobs.

"Goddess why? Just get out!" I yelled after he didn't say anything.

"But this is my room too." He said and I fixed him with a glare that was coated in tears. He dropped his gaze immediately. I could feel his guilt through our bond, and I knew very well he could feel my pain.

"I think you at least owe me that much." I gritted out and he gave a nod.

"Whatever." He growled, his hand rubbed the back of his neck before he turned and left the room. As soon as the door was shut I flung myself on the bed and sobbed.

I couldn't stop thinking about the man with mahogany eyes. Wished that, instead of being in this room full of bad memories, I was with him.

Noah.

Kaden had Emma. I'd have Noah.

I laid in the bed for a while staring up at the ceiling. My eyes were cloudy and unfocused. I didn't know what to feel. I felt bad yet at the same time I didn't.

I want Noah. Rain whined and I blinked slowly.

Yeah, who would it hurt?

I groaned and picked up my phone before dialing the man's number. I pressed call and put it up to my ear. I sat up and popped my neck.

I sat there listening to the ring before it was picked up on the other line.

"Amelia?" Noah's voice asked and I gulped.

"Can you... can you come get me?" I asked softly and for a moment the man was quiet.

"Yeah, I'll be a little while, still at work. What's wrong?" He questioned and I gulped.

"I accidentally marked Kaden, we were fighting and it just happened. He's in love with Emma and he's mad because... I don't know." I said and Noah growled.

"Y'all were fighting? Are you okay?" He asked and I sighed, "I'm as good as I'll be."

"I'll be there in about an hour okay?" Noah assured and I smiled weakly.

"Yes, that's fine." I said and I could hear Noah sigh.

"See ya then." He said and I agreed and ended the call with a long breath.

I put my phone beside me and laid back down against the mattress. My eyes closed and I opted for a nap.
