Chapter 45
CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE
Devon
Having left the stupid Obscuritas and the other Princes behind once upon a time, this bonding experience was a little overwhelming.
I knew what mine would be. Andras seemed to have a similar situation.
When his secret emerged, he accepted his fate instantly, knowing what this goddess would reveal.
I was jealous of how effortlessly he handled it.
Even Levi’s revelation was okay, in the end. It was horrible, and I was happy all over again that Darren was fucking dead, but the way Ty showed up for him through the bond, that was worth everything.
And now it was my turn. Time to reveal myself to them.
The night that I shot Ty and Levi. The scene played out in my mind, and so in theirs. My mind was a mess of my own jealousy, insecurity, and hate. The Kings didn’t put those feelings there, only amplified them to an extreme degree.
Tell your mates what you did to them.
Sinking into my memories, I remembered the night of the party.
How in love with Sera I had been, even then.
The Kings poisoned my love for her with doubt and used my distance from my brothers to feed my jealousy.
I was ordered to set the trap and bring them in.
Shooting Levi and Ty was not part of their plan.
I shot them because I wanted to. When I saw Sera in Ty’s arms, believing him, siding with him, I lost my shit.
And the bullets. The shot you took.
Damn this fucking truth shit. They were stellatium. I…I was aiming for Ty’s heart. I missed.
Guilt burned through my veins. And shame. I didn’t deserve to be here, to be with Seraphina or mated with my brothers. If they couldn’t forgive me, so be it.
