Chapter 57 Jealousy & Anger

Their reactions were polar opposites. Liam looked as if he had just been hit with a sledgehammer and Aaron looked stunned. Liam looked away first, a frown crossing his face. His fists clenched as he took a deep calming breath, his eyes flickering as his wolf's anger surfaced mixed with his own. It hurt. It hurt a lot. How could one of his best friends love the woman he had loved for so long? It had never been a secret, sure he never stated it much, but she was the only one he had ever wanted. In fact, he had wished for the blood moon to come sooner so he could know if she was his mate… She could still be his mate…
Elijah watched them both. Aaron was still trying to comprehend his words, running his fingers through his hair repeatedly. Trying to form a sentence but only resulting in spluttering and stopping. It was Liam’s reaction however that made his stomach turn a little, not missing the betrayal, pain or confusion that was rolling off Liam so obviously.
“What the hell man?! How could you not tell me that?!” Aaron said, finally to manage a coherent sentence.
