Disclaimer: This book doesn’t promote cheating or incestuous relationships. Noah Two and half years ago “Oh, Jace….” she moaned, throwing her head back. “This feels so good…oh right that way…” I think I have died. Because there was no other way for me to explain the way I was feeling as I stood outside her door. The girl I loved more than my own life. The girl who was made just for me, my mate and the woman who was going to be Mrs. Noah Gray in less than twelve hours. The girl who was now cradling her step-brother, naked and covered in sweat as she rode him. I knew I needed to speak, needed to say something, but I was…just blank. All I could do was stand and watch like a dummy as she leaned down and kissed him.I knew I was supposed to feel terrifying pain but all I felt was…nothing. Nothing at all. “Oh, Val…you are perfect,” Jace hissed, grabbing a fistful of her hair and pulling her head back as he kissed her throat. “Forget, Noah…stay with me, baby,” “Oh yeah…” Valerie moaned, her fingers curling into his hair just the way she did with me. This was exactly how she moaned by name, exactly how she kissed me. But I wasn’t her step-brother. I was the man who dedicated all his life to her, worshiped her and loved her, unconditionally and madly. I was her mate. “Val…Valerie,” the words finally decided to leave my mouth. The moment it did, both of them stopped and she turned her blue eyes to my face. They widened in shock and as our eyes locked, that’s when it hit me…the pain. Because I finally got to witness the reality, the truth reflected in her beautiful eyes. I knew and understood every breath of hers, so all it took was one look to know that, unlike what my heart would love to believe, this wasn’t just a mistake on her part, a momentary slip or a bad dream. It was exactly what it was and no excuse that I make on her part will change that. She was cheating on me. “Noah!” Valerie exclaimed, quickly climbing down Jace’s lap, who was still in shock. “I will wait downstairs.” I said quietly, unable to look at her as she desperately tried to cover herself with the duvet. I have seen that body uncountable times. I knew every curve and dip of hers, how her skin felt, how it tasted, and yet I couldn’t look at her anymore. It felt like I was looking at a naked stranger and not the woman who was marked by me. My feet refused to move as I turned around and forced myself to climb down the stairs. It was just us here because her parents were out with mine, discussing some stuff after the rehearsal dinner was done. I was supposed to head out with my brothers for my bachelor’s party and so was she with her friends. But Valerie left her purse at my place and when she didn’t pick up my call, I decided to do a quick turnaround and hand it over. My brothers were still waiting outside.
