Chapter 9 Rejection

• As soon as these words left his mouth, a searing pain pierced my heart. I screamed in agony and clutched my heart hard to stop the pain. I felt like someone poured lava on my heart, I could not see anything because of tears, but I could hear Ethan's painful groans. I know I am foolish to feel like that, but despite being in so much pain, I want to go near him and soothe him. I slowly crawled from the bed while clutching my heart and went towards where Ethan was sitting on the ground.
• I put my hand on his hand and instantly felt sparks traveling down my body. "Are you alright, Ethan?" it came like a whisper. He didn't say anything, but I knew that my touch eased his pain because it did surely lessen mine. After a few minutes of silence, he suddenly pushed me aside and got up from his place. As soon as his touch left mine, the pain came again, and I screamed loudly. I am guessing he is not in pain now because he looks normal. Tears welled up in my eyes because of the unbearable pain. I looked at him pleadingly and extended my hand toward him. Only his touch can ease my pain right now. He looked at my hand and then at my face. His features softened for a second, but he shook his head and clenched his fists to stop himself... {Please don't do this... Please...}
• "You will not talk about this with anyone," he said in a threatening tone, then took a step towards me, "and if you will, then I promise my dear mate I will make yours and your loved ones' lives a living hell," he said with so much venom laced voice that I flinched and crawled a little further from him.
