Three Days ✔️

"Hey..." I don't know how to talk to him knowing I have to break his heart in minute.

However, he lied to me.

Maybe it's for the best. And mom is right. - I'll never be able to let him go, if I don't do it now.
My feeling are already growing stronger. Which will be a huge problem.

He looks at me.
Deep in my eyes.

He senses somethings wrong.

"I don't see your Eastyn. Where is she?"

"Resting. Does your wolf not nap?"

"Not when he's around his mate."

My heart stopped. He called me his mate..

This is bad.

"Azariah what do you want?"

Pain flashed in his eyes.

I don't wanna hurt himmmmmm..

You have to.

What are you doing here?

Sh, I'm always here. Now talk.

"Nothing Peyton. I just wanted to see you. We haven't talked since.. err.. the incident. And I wanted to see you. - I miss you."

My heart won't stop beating... but I know I gotta do this.

"Azariah, about that.. I didn't miss you, at all.. in fact.." I trail off when I see the pain his eyes.

"You didn't miss me? Why are you saying this.. I love you.." it's Lupus..

Oh I can't break Lupus...

You have to. Do it. They won't miss you as bad as you'll miss them. They will have a child to take care of.

"Look Lupus.. I cant do this. I'm sorry for believing I could. I don't feel the same way. I don't want I ever feel as disconnected from myself as I did that time. And I don't want you to feel that way either. But I don't love you.. I'm so sorry."

Tears were my eyes.

When you watch someone break, and understand you're the one doing the breaking.. it breaks you.

I don't want to be broken.

"Please don't do this Peyton. I love you.."

"You also love Lydia. You cannot tell me you don't. - You also can't tell me her baby isn't yours. I had a dna test done."

I said lying.

"You're the one who said it was impossible. I don't love Lydia like I love you. In fact I don't love her at all. She is not my mate. You are. She's Azariah's choice mate... I'm begging you please don't do this."

"But Lupus, there's things you don't know. Things you don't understand, things I don't understand. Things that are gonna happen no matter how hard I try to stop it. You don't be safe if I stay with you. And I have to save her.. I'm sorry. But you'll be busy raising your child. You won't remember me, it's okay.. it's gonna be okay."

He's crying..

He slowly walks up to me and hugs me, I hug him back because I can't help myself.

"Save who? I can help you. We have an army.
- Even if the child is mine, I'll still think about you everyday. That's not going to change anything. I love you. Not Lydia, you.."

I see your defenses falling. I see your walls breaking. You have to break him now.. before it's too late. I like him a lot for you, maybe someday in the future he'll be the one. But right now you have to break him. You have save us. Your father is in trouble. More trouble than I am. He owes him a lot. More than willing to admit.

But I think I love him...

That'll change with time. You'll love him eventually. Like I said someday you guys might work out. Right now is not the time. If not for me and your father, than for the thousands he has trapped.

"I can't Lupus. I think I might love you. But this is the path I need to take right now. We might be able to be together someday.. but right now I have to save them. I have to do it by myself. No matter what I do he's automatically seven times stronger. Please just trust me..."

I cry even harder hugging him..

Hugging him feels right. Loving him feels right.. but I know it won't be. I always get left out in the end. I'm finally needed. I won't fail.

"No. Peyton if you leave, I won't wait for you. It'll be over. I can't live my life waiting for you to come back.. from wherever the hell you're going. Like you said - I have a child to raise. I cannot properly raise my child, if I'm loving someone who doesn't remember me."

"I'll always remember you.." I say crying harder.

"But I can't stay.. there's things in the way of us. Things that'll stop us from ever being able to be together. If you don't want to wait for me that's fine.. I completely understand. I'm sorry. I love you."

His eyes become cold and detached.. I cry harder than I thought was possible.

"Then should we just get the rejections over with? I don't have time for this."

"Lupus please don't look at me like that.."

"Why does it hurt you? Even a little bit? Cause what you're doing right now.. it's killing me."

And I could see it in his eyes, he was telling the truth.

"Kiss me. One last time. It's the only time I'm ever gonna be able to see you.. ever."

He kisses me, harder than I thought he ever would. You could feel the pain, the love, the sorrow, everything... it made me want to cry.. again..

"You can't leave. You're my prisoner." He states out of breath.

"Yes I can Lupus.. there's ways for me to get out. I'm saving my mother. There's someone that's gonna kidnap me. So if I stay here I won't have a chance at getting stronger, but he'll be able to find no matter where I'm at. - and I can't stay here knowing that you're gonna be worried about me. And I also don't want to be around my step child.."

"Don't forget about me Peyton, or I swear to god I'll come find you. And I'll get you back, and I'll make you remember me. Am I making myself clear?"

"It's Crystal.. I love you.. I'm sorry. I'll be out of your hair by the end of the week."

"Goodbye Peyton."

"I Peyton Eastyn, temporarily cut off the mate bond between Lupus, Azariah's wolf, and Eastyn's wolf. Do you accept the temporary rejection?"

"Goodbye.." I whispered.

"Of course not. I'll never accept it.. not deep in my heart.... - I, Romyn Azariah Lupus,  accept your temporary rejection.. I love you Peyt.."

And then I felt us disconnect. It was bad. But I had to have strength. I wiped the tears out of my eyes looked at him one last time, then taking every ounce of strength in me.. I walked away.
