"I'm done!,"
"Done?," He asks weakly.
"DONE, Harry, I'm done! With you! With us! With trying to fix this fucked up relationship, And your fucked up life! All you're doing is dragging me down with you, And I can't let that happen, I'm so tired of this, Of trying, And trying, And getting my hopes up, and thinking that maybe one day, You MIGHT actually change for me, And get your shit together, But you've broken that hope, its gone, And i'm gone, Bye Harry," I say as I try and hold in the tears but end up doing a really shitty job.
"No, Alex don-," He trys to rush the words out, And begins to make his way towards me, Standing by the door. But I cut him off and put my hand up to stop him.
"No, Harry, I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore," I say in almost a whisper, And turn to open the door, To leave.
"Alexis! Babe, Plea-,"
"Don't. Just stop, And don't follow me," I reply harshily, And slam the door in his face.
"The fuck you are leaving me."
His roar cracked through the hall like lightning.
Ara didn't blink.
She stood there, calm as death, done to her core. No tears. No tremble. Just a weary exhale as she turned her back on him - the one thing he never thought she'd do.
Before she could take a step, his hand shot out, gripping her arm like he was holding on to life itself.
"Where are you going, Ara!"
His command shook the pack.
But she wasn't his to command.
Not anymore.
Ara ripped her arm free with a force that made even his wolf recoil.
"Don't. Touch. Me."
Her aura slammed into him, cold and merciless.
"You think I'll stand here and watch you mate and breed her?" she hissed, every word a dagger.
His throat bobbed.
"She meant nothing."
She laughed - sharp, broken, brutal.
"Yeah? That's why you were fucking her in your office? Couldn't even hide the scent of your betrayal."
"Ara, it was a mistake-"
She stepped closer, eyes blazing.
"Your mistakes come in episodes, Alpha. Season one, season two, season three. You don't make mistakes. You make choices."
He swallowed hard.
"I don't need her. I need you."
"Lies," she spat.
"Every damn sentence you breathe is a lie. I can't even look at you without feeling sick."
He flinched like her words physically hit him.
"That female behind you?" she pointed, not bothering to glance.
"Perfect for you. Go mark her. Breed her. Hell, fuck her for all I care."
Her voice cracked - but she kept going, blade steady even when bleeding.
"I don't need you. Not anymore."
His knees crashed to the floor.
The mighty Alpha.
On the ground.
For her.
"Ara... I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry."
His voice broke like he finally understood what loss tasted like.
She stared at him with a sad, devastating smile.
"Isn't it too late for that, Mate?"
One tear escaped - and she crushed it away with her thumb.
Then she turned.
Walked.
Didn't look back.
But he didn't chase her.
Because he knew.
He didn't just lose her.
He wrecked her.
