Silas

Silas “NOOO!” I threw the contents of my cup across the room. This wasn’t happening. She wasn’t going to be his. She was still mine, I still hadn’t accepted her rejection. I felt every time they kissed, it hurt like hell. Why was she doing this to me? Lena meant nothing to me, did she not know that? I told her I would fix this and she still ran into his arms? I knew Zion had feelings for her, but I never expected this. Small, delicate hands came and took the paper from my hand before I ruined it more than I already had. Lena was too good for me. She deserved better, but she was handling all of this like a f*****g champ. “The wedding is this weekend. They sure do move fast.” She said, her brow raised slightly. “They’ve known each other their entire lives. There’s no need to wait, really.” I said through gritted teeth. It would have been the same for us, if I hadn’t had to marry Lena. Not that I was blaming Lena. She had no say in this either. If I could just bring myself to accept the rejection, this wouldn’t be an issue. I felt her soft hand on my arm. “Silas. Please. I know how hard this is, you know that, but is it really worth being in pain the rest of your life? She’s chosen her path. I hate seeing you in pain.” The last part came out a whisper and it made me whip my head to look at her. She’d never shown that she actually cared beyond her duties. We hadn’t touched since that first night, two weeks ago. Looking at her now, though, I can see her in a new light. “I’m such an i***t, Lena.” I said softly, pulling her into my arms. Hearing her surprised gasp made a smile spread across my lips. She was here for me, Aspen wasn’t. Aspen would never be mine. No matter how much I wanted her to be. “I’m so sorry for the pain I’ve been putting you through, Lena. You deserved better than that. “ I pulled away slightly, enough to cup her face in my hands. “I’ll be better.” With that I pressed my lips to hers, extracting a soft moan from her. I pulled away, taking a step back and taking a deep breath. I was doing this for her. For Aspen, not for Lena. I could never be with her, I was starting to see that. We had to go our separate ways. “I Silas Lane Hughes accept Aspen Lake DelNik’s rejection.” As soon as the words left my lips, I fell to my knees in pain. I could only imagine she was going through the same pain as myself. I hated that, but I loved her too much to keep hurting her. If we were really meant to be, we’d find our way back to each other one day. I cried out in pain, and then I felt her slender arms slip around my neck and pull me to her. I buried myself in her chest, allowing myself to sob. She got me, she knew this pain all too well. At least now, I could give her my attention. She deserved that much. “You did the right thing, Silas. Doing this shows how much you love her.” Lena whispered as the pain from breaking the bond with Aspen started to fade. The woman knew I loved Aspen, but she never held it against me. She never said a foul thing about any of this. The princess was too good for me and would make an excellent Queen one day. I lifted my head from her chest to see her giving me a soft, sweet smile. Before I knew what I was doing, my lips landed on hers and I was pushing her down to the floor. Other than Aspen, I’d never wanted someone more. This woman deserved all my attention, all of the love I had left. I’d always love my amethyst eyed beauty. She would always hold my heart, but I could spare a small portion for Lena.
