Chapter 276 Ruby

• I am not sure why I walked away from him. He had been making me feel things I did not expect to feel ever again, and I have been feeling them for a little while now. We were meant to be friends. Simply friends. It has been confusing me. Scaring me. Upsetting me.
• Seb was my mate. My fated mate. The one meant for me. My perfect match, according to the moon goddess. And he had been perfect for me. But he was taken from me and I missed him terribly. So it hurt so much to accept that I had begun feeling things for someone else. I didn’t even realise it at first. Or perhaps I was in denial. I do not know. Not wanting to see what was right in front of me.
• I had sworn after Seb had gone, I would never allow another man near me. But Jake had snuck his way into my heart. Simply by being a friend. And I have cried many times as I sat and considered these feelings I am fighting. Trying to deny what I was feeling. Unable to accept in my mind that I was feeling something for a man that wasn’t my Seb. Wasn't my fated mate.
