Aurora's POV
I never imagined it would end this way, not even in my wildest dream.
My head was pounding, my eyes rolling in my head, my hands shaking as I stood in his office doorway and tried to catch my breath.
But my y breath was taken away from me by the sight in front of me which was like a punch to the stomach.
There he was, my mate, the love of my life sitting behind his desk with his shirt unbuttoned and a woman not just any woman but my step Alicia.
They were kissing and smooching.
Having sex before me.
Their guttural sound filled the air.
My heart pounded against my chest as I froze. As I watched them the weight of the rooms silence felt oppressive and their intimacy seemed so... natural.
Bennett had never kissed me that way before and to think I had come here so we can prepare my birthday party and met this.
Then Bennet eyes locked with mine. There was no surprise in his eyes. He was slow to apologize or offer an explanation.
Rather a half-smile that was all too familiar formed on his lips.
And my heart broke again into thousands of irreplaceable pieces.
.With a casual tone as if nothing was wrong he buttoned his shirt and said.
"Aurora... Why... You didn't tell me you were coming over."
Really?
Trying to find my voice I swallowed hard my throat drying out.
Alicia made no effort to feel guilt, instead she sat on the table staring at me like I was a pestering ghost.
" I thought we. . . I thought we were." But he works stayed in my throat.
Bile rose in my throat as Alicia who was beside him moved her fingers grazing his arm.
Ethan's tone was colder than I had ever heard him , at first I thought he wanted to apologize but his words broke me and I felt like vanishing forever.
"You were never my mate. " He said. " I never loved you Aurora."
I wasn't expecting this. For a moment everything seemed to spin and the world tilted.
"What are you talking about? I asked, hardly raising my voice above a whisper
"As you can see, I'm with someone else. " Bennett glanced at Alicia next to him." Alicia is here. " He said staring at her with love. " She's the one my heart beat for . My mate."
I was slammed by the 'word'.
"You see." Bennett said rising to his feet. " You were just a distraction."
I stumbled my legs suddenly weak ."
I-I don't understand. " I pressed a hand to the doorframe in an attempt to keep myself together. " You're joking right, we have been together for three years.
We were- "
Ethan cut me off with a wave of his hands his eyes darting over me with an like I was trash
" Aurora. I'm sorry. But I made up my mind a long time ago. You were a total waste of time. Come to think of it. I'm the Alpha, having a pitiful omega beside me would be a shame."
It struck me like a blast of cold air. Me? Pitiful? Waste of time?
