    **Betrays Love 230**


    **Chapter 230: SHEER. FUCKING. AUDACITY**


    **SERAPHINA’S POV**


    I inhaled sharply as I was yanked aside, pulled into a dimly lit, narrow passage that seemed to swallow me whole.


    A firm, warm chest pressed against mine, its rhythm steady yet fervent. I didn’t need to raise my gaze to know who had ensnared me in this shadowy corner.


    The bond surged between us, a cacophony of emotions crashing over me—possession, fear, longing, frustration, and an overwhelming sense of desperation.


    Kieran.


    His scent enveloped me, familiar yet suffocating, like a thick fog that wrapped around my senses. I ced my palms against his chest—not to draw him nearer, but to create a barrier, a small space that felt necessary.


    His heart raced beneath my hands, its ferocity almost as if it were trying to imprint itself on my skin.


    “Kieran,” I whispered fiercely, my voice low enough to evade the ears of the revelers passing by. “What the hell are you doing?”


    His jaw clenched, muscles taut, but he remained unmoved.


    “Trying,” he replied, his voice gravelly, “to keep myself from losing my mind.”


    I blinked, taken aback by the abrupt shift from confrontation to an unguarded vulnerability that hung in the air like a heavy mist.


    He exhaled a shaky breath, his dark eyes brimming with an intensity that was almost palpable. “I know I promised you space. Hell, I promised myself that I could handle you distancing yourself from me. But Sera—”


    He leaned in closer, the bond ring with such intensity that it made my heart skip a beat. “Every time I look at you and you look away, it feels like I’m being gutted.”


    His words cut deep, raw and piercing, leaving a stinging sensation in their wake.


    “I’m trying to hold myself back,” he continued, his voice trembling. “But this bond—” His hand curled against the wall beside my head, knuckles turning white with tension. “It constantly reminds me of how much I crave you. How much I need you. And it drives me insane that you keep acting like you feel nothing.”


    His voice dropped to a hoarse whisper,ced with an anguish that was almost unbearable. “How can you be so cruel?”


    In an instant, the heat coursing through my veins turned to ice.


    Cruel.


    The word struck me like a p, a bitter reminder of past wounds.


    For a brief moment, I found it hard to breathe—not because of the closeness of his body or the weight of the wall behind me, but because of the sheer, unfiltered audacity of his usation.


    In a sudden rush of anger, I shoved Kieran away from me with all my strength.


    He staggered back, shock flickering across his features like a storm cloud gathering on the horizon.


    “Cruel?” My voice quivered with indignation. “You dare call me cruel?”


    His brows furrowed, and he had the audacity to look puzzled. “Sera—”


    “No.” The word sliced through the air, sharp and unyielding. “You do not get to hurl that kind of bullshit at me.”


    Heat flooded my cheeks, and my hands trembled as I jabbed a finger at his chest, each word dripping with fury.


    “Do you even recall our marriage?” I demanded, my voice rising with each syble.


    His lips parted slightly, his jaw tightening as if bracing for impact.


    I stepped forward, a red haze creeping into my vision. “Do you remember how you brushed past me in the corridors as if I were mere furniture? Do you remember how you ignored me like I was an rm you could simply snooze? Do you recall treating me like I was an obligation, a hindrance, a mistake you were forced to endure?”


    Kieran flinched, the color draining from his face as if my words had struck him like a physical blow.


    “You want to talk about cruelty?” Myugh was sharp, devoid of humor. “Let’s discuss how every time we were intimate, you were thinking of Celeste. Do you remember telling me that? Do you remember when you said I never mattered? When you used me of trapping you?”


    His eyes squeezed shut, pain washing over his features like a tidal wave.


    “That,” I whispered, my voice breaking, “was cruelty.”


    A suffocating silence enveloped the walkway, thick enough to choke on.


    The bond churned beneath my skin, stirring up grief and longing with a rawness that felt like I was being skinned alive.


    Kieran opened his eyes slowly, guilt etched into every line of his face, a haunting portrait of regret.


    “Sera…” His voice was barely more than a breath, fragile and trembling. “I was blind. I was so consumed by anger and pain, and you were there, and I—” His throat worked as if the words were a struggle to articte. “I hurt you because it was easier than facing my own failures.”


    It would have been easier if he had shouted.


    Instead, he spoke softly, reverently, like a man handling something precious, terrified of breaking it further.


    “I know I failed you,” he whispered. “I know I made you feel unwanted. I know I shattered what we could have built together.”


    His voice cracked, a sound that echoed with sorrow. “And now I finally feel everything I should have felt back then. I want to make it right. I want to—”


    “Make me forget?” I interjected, my voice sharp enough to cut.


    He recoiled as if I had struck him, shock evident in his eyes.


    “That…that’s not what I meant.”


    “But that’s exactly what you’re asking for,” I replied, wrapping my arms around myself in an attempt to quell the tremors that coursed through me. “You im you’re not trying to erase the past, but that’s precisely what you want. You want me to act as if thest ten years never happened. Like that version of us didn’t exist. That the mate bond magically fixes everything.”


    He swallowed hard, but he didn’t deny it.


    I took a step back, creating a chasm between us that felt like a knife twisting in my gut.


    My back hit the cold, unyielding cement of the wall, and it took every ounce of my willpower not to copse against it.


    “Go on then,” I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper. “Make me forget. Erase all the pain of those years from my mind—from my fucking heart.”


    His jaw tightened, helplessness and sorrow swirling in the depths of his eyes, a tempest of emotions battling for control.


    “I don’t want you to pretend,” he said hoarsely. “I just… Fuck, Sera, I don’t know how to live with what I did, knowing it cost me you. I want to fix it. I’m losing my mind trying to figure out how to fix it.”


    Something inside me splintered at his words, the rawness of his guilt piercing through my defenses like a dagger.


    For a fleeting moment, I glimpsed the man beneath the Alpha—the man who was terrified he had already obliterated the future fate had intended for him.


    He reached for my hand, slow and tentative, as if afraid of scaring me away. Not forceful. Not demanding. Just longing.


    “Please,” he whispered, his voice a fragile plea. “Let me try to make amends.”


    I pulled my hand back before he could touch me, feeling the weight of that distance like a leaden anchor.


    His fingers hovered in the air, empty and longing.


    The anguish that washed over his face struck me like a tidal wave, a visceral pain that I felt through the bond—piercing, debilitating.


    I couldn’t handle this right now.


    “Kieran,” I said, my voice low and firm, “not today.”


    He gazed at me, confusion and hurt swirling in his eyes. “Why not?”


    “Because this is Daniel’s day.” I forced my voice to remain steady, despite the turmoil inside me. “And I refuse to let our mess overshadow it.”


    His breath hitched, jaw tightening with frustration. “I’m not trying to ruin anything.”


    “No,” I whispered, my heart aching. “But you will if you push this now.”


    Over his shoulder, I caught sight of Maya and Ethan, their armsden with gifts, and a small breath escaped me. “I have to go.”


    I stepped past Kieran, feeling the tension in his body, the instinctive urge to follow, to pull me back, to fix everything—but he remained rooted in ce.


    I walked away, determined not to let the bond pull me back, not to let his scent cloud my judgment.


    Before the part of me that ached for him could take over, I took a step into the light, leaving the shadows behind.Conclusion
