Amelia’s POV
I felt so lowly and pathetic sitting here, having to ask Claire for help in escaping Damien’s pack, but I hoped with all my heart that her desire to be with my husband would lead to her assisting me. After all, if I was out of the way, she could have him all to herself.
The thought of it still hurt me. I felt the pain of his unfaithfulness thrumming around my heart, the rattling digging in uncomfortably, insistent no matter how hard I tried to push it away. No matter how blasé I pretended to be about everything.
I could act like I didn’t care, like I wanted him to move on, but the truth was much more complicated. Things were complicated between Damien and me. We couldn’t be together for so many reasons.
Yet I still loved him. I still didn’t want him to be with someone else
