Chapter 48 Liliana
- My feet felt heavy on my legs as I made my way down the corridors of college. Earlier, I had wanted to get home, now it was more a case of I needed to. I needed to be in my own space to fall apart in privacy. I would not allow that piece of shit to see the effect his selfishness had had on me. I was better than that. I needed to get away from Lukas. From the lies and deception he had built around the bubble that was us. I was nothing but a fool. I know that now. Admittedly a fool in love it would seem, going off the pain within my heart, but a fool non the less…
- I had fallen for all his charm… all his words telling me how I was everything he had dreamed of in a woman. That he had never met anyone that fitted with him like I did. That he was excited to see what the future could hold for us... how beautiful our children could be. That coming to teach here had been twisted into fate because it had meant he had met me. But then came the lies, the reasons for not being able to be with me in public. That, because he was my tutor, he would be sacked. That he did not want to humiliate me by being seen with someone so much older… why I ever believed that one when he was not so much older, I am not sure. He was a newly qualified tutor after all. All these lies had been to protect himself. Protect his own big lie. Protect his life.
- The pain in my chest was only worsening the more I thought how much of a fool I had been. My wolf, Opal, snarled at his dishonesty. She had never been too keen on him because of the fact he was not my fated mate, but still, she had allowed me the freedom of choice, and allowed me to enjoy the time with him, enjoying me being happy. Now she, too, was suffering through my pain. Pain at the hands of a man I thought I could trust…
