James “Yeah, so… that’s my story,” Zoe said with a loud sigh and I tightened my arms around her. The pain and anger I was feeling could not be expressed by words alone. That Duncan guy was lucky he was dead, otherwise, I would have hunted him down and killed him myself. I thought I was in pain before but what my cupcake went through was so heartbreaking. No wonder she couldn’t trust anyone anymore and just wanted her mate. But I fucked up as well in the beginning. There’s no excuse, I fucking hurt her. I’m just glad I came back to my senses before it was too late. “You don’t have to feel bad about it, Jay. It’s all in the past,” Zoe said, throwing her head back on my chest and I leaned in, pecking her plump pink lips. “It’s in the past but I can’t help but get angry. I’m sure people judged you for being cold, not knowing what you went through in the hands of someone you trusted,” I said, each word piercing my heart like a double-edged sword. She had suffered in that stupid man’s hands.
