"What if we didn't become mates? I'm scared! I don't want to leave you Lucien. Please.. Be my mate!"

Lucien looked at Arabella who just spoke to him with a fear filled voice. He stared into her eyes and smiled. He raised his arm and caressed her soft rosy cheeks with a kiss to her forehead. He was also scared about the fact she's becoming a mate of another man but even if that happened, he would get her. He would never let anyone get her from him. But Lucien didn't want to show Arabella that he was also scared about it.


"No, Bella. You're mine and I'm yours. If we couldn't become mates, it doesn't matter because we will always be together and you will be the love of my life. There will be no woman if it's not you" He said looking at her. His words were dangerously honest. He wasn't lying. He wanted to tell her that she would be the only woman that he would ever have.

With his words, Arabella stared at him and smiled brightly. She nodded at him happily and her eyes filled with tears. He knew that Arabella loved him so much and at the same time, he also loved her unconditionally. She was such a lovely girl and he loved her so fucking much. Lucien's heart filled with love seeing her beautiful smile. So he kissed her forehead in a lovely manner.

"Yes. Let's promise this Lucien. I will never leave you and you will never leave me okay? You promise?" she asked him. Lucien chuckled and nodded at her. Why would he leave a gorgeous girl like her? She was the girl that he spent his childhood with and now they are teenagers so in the future, she will also be the only one he would ever love.


"I promise Bella. I would never leave you. How can I leave you after everything? And there's no way for me to leave my future Luna" Lucien stared into her beautiful hazel eyes before saying it. Arabella smiled at him and nodded. Then she wrapped her delicate arms around his neck before resting her forehead against his.

"I also promise. I will never leave you. I love you more than anything." Her words were honest and lovely. Hearing those words from her lovely voice, Lucien smiled and lowered his head before pressing his lips on her cherry lips. He kissed her and she also kissed him back. Their kiss was filled with both love and trust that they held towards each other.


Kissing her lips for a while, Lucien deepened the kiss as he bit her lower lip gently and pushed his tongue inside of her mouth. Then he just simply started to kiss her passionately as she also kissed him back. While he was kissing, he felt something cold against his neck and he smiled as he felt that it was the ring Arabella was wearing. The ring he put on her finger.

Suddenly, a sound of little metal hitting against the floor made Lucien come back from his memories that he never remembered before. His eyes were filled with tears and the pain inside of his chest was suffocating him as if it wanted him to die on the spot. He lowered his head and looked at the ring which had fallen down from his hands. He bent down and slowly sat on the cold floor before taking it into his hands.

He forced his tears back but he failed. Soon the tears rolled down from his eyes making him want to kill himself. He stared at the ring and he clenched his jaws. He couldn't believe it, he just simply couldn't believe it. She was her mate? She was her mate! He didn't move his eyes from the ring in his hands; he felt that he was such a bastard.

"I don't want Lucien. I just need to move on. Keeping these things means that I will never be able to forget you. So take them with you, if you don't want to, just throw them away. I don't mind."

He recalled the way Arabella gave the ring to him. He remembered the painful and innocent smile she had on her face. She has given everything back to him. She just wanted to forget him. If she was his real mate, his every action must have hurt her so badly. When he touched Milena and when he had sex with her…. Lucien clenched his jaws and rubbed his forehead helplessly as tears rolled down from his eyes.

Memories surged into his mind with great pain. He could remember everything that he did with Arabella and he could remember how they spent their time together doing funny things but now everything was gone, gone and replaced with emptiness and pain. The love he held for Arabella again came into him as he felt unbearable love towards her.

He had loved her so much, he had loved her without a limit but a one mistake that he made has made him lose everything. Lucien covered his face with his palms and he let his tears fall down from his eyes. He remembered how she came after him telling that she was his mate and don't leave her.

She cried, she begged, she just simply did everything to make him come to her again. She had also loved him so fucking much. She tried, she tried so fucking hard to explain him for two years. She spent two years following him everywhere he left no matter how much he hurt her but she slowly started to give up with him who hurt her unconditionally. She slowly drifted away from him and went to the man who loved her and it was Rowan.

Lucien's heart was aching, he remembered every single thing that he did to Arabella. He called her whore, he called her slut and he just simply disrespected her and hurt her. How can he at least look at her now. She was already with Rowan and Lucien knew that there was no way for him to get her back.

"Why? Why… this happened… to me?" he spoke to himself. His voice was trembling and he was crying miserably. What did he do to deserve something like this? What did he just do to lose the woman he loved for fucking years. His body trembled and he couldn't help but shake his head helplessly. He couldn't believe that something like this happened to him.

Lucien's mind started to show him everything, everything that he witnessed. The way Arabella looked at Rowan with love and affection filled eyes and the way she let him touch her. Arabella was a woman who always stayed faithfully. When she was with him, she never looked at a man if it's not him. And he knew that once she set her heart on someone there would be no going back.

She would just die for the man she loved. And for years, it was him. He was the man she loved and he was her everything. She was there for everything that he did. Even on the wedding day, there she was looking at him with a smile on her face. That smile was the smile that gave him goodbye.

He had broken everything. He had just broken every promise that he gave her. He felt it, he could fucking feel that Arabella was waiting for him to break his every promise that he gave her. He promised to marry her at the time he took her virginity, he promised to be with her until he dies and he just promised her that he would never look at another woman and she would be his only one.

But now he had successfully broken every little promise he gave her. Lucien started to cry if he was a little child remembering everything, he couldn't bear the fact that he had lost Arabella completely. She was the woman he loved and now the love he lost for two years is back in him. His heart started to love her again. How can he just watch the woman he loves staying with another man happily?

As he thought that, he painfully smiled remembering that for two years… for damn two years Arabella saw the man she loved with another woman. He showed Arabella how much he loved Milena. In front of Arabella, he kissed Milena, he had sex with her and he just simply treated her well just to hurt Arabella.

He never believed the fact that Arabella was telling him everyday no matter how he hurt her. All she said was that she was his mate and not Milena. Lucien clenched his jaws angrily, he couldn't help himself and he felt fucking angry because his stupidity made him lose her. Despite everything, he chose fucking Milena over Arabella whom he was with for years. And now he got the result and it was nothing but a heartbreak. Just the same as the heartbreak he gave Arabella.
