Book 1: Chapter 16
Amelia glared at Rosalie, her eyes black with rage, “How could you cheat on my brother like that?” She snarled,
Rosalie laughed, “How could I cheat? Honey, being in love someone else but staying friends isn’t cheating. Besides, we’re not even dating and never will be. You caused all of this because you’re selfish. So, don’t get butt hurt and bitchy with me. Now, where is he?”
“Right here.”
They all turned to see Cyrus weakly lean against the wall, his face pale and his eyes dull. Rosalie felt pity for him as she noticed his horrible state he was in. She walked over and wrapped am around him so she could support him. She gave Dimitri a pleading look, he quickly caught on and went to the other side of Cyrus.
“Cyrus, you’re supposed to be resting.” Amelia whispered.
He glared at her, “And you care why?”
She didn’t say anything else as they walked up the stairs. Once they reached his room Rosalie felt an ache in her chest. They carefully laid him down and wrapped the blanket around him.
“Dimitri, could I talk to him, in private?” Rosalie questioned,
Dimitri nodded before leaving, quietly shutting the door. Rosalie sighed and sat on the edge of the bed, trying to fig ure out what she should say.
“Rosalie.”
She turned to see Cyrus looking at her with sorrowful eyes. “I’m sorry.”

“I’m not going to make you choose. You’re happy with Dimitri.”
“Well, yeah, but you’re my mate. How do I choose?”
He chuckled and gently stroked her check. “Like I said, you don’t have to. I can’t do that to you, yes, I do love you. I always have loved you, but I had done horrible things to you. I should have told you Amelia’s plan instead of being a coward and agreeing with it. I panicked, I didn’t want to see her or anybody kill you. I didn’t…” He sighed.

vince you to join another pack. If you were killed because of me then I don’t know what I would of done. Stay with Dimitri, you both need each other. I’ll say the words and it’ll be done.”
Rosalie watched him with sad eyes, “Cyrus…”
“I, Cyrus Jay Blood, reject you, Rosalie Amber Blood as my mate and Luna.” He stated, his voice cracking.
Rosalie had tears running down her cheeks, “I, Rosalie Amber Blood accept your rejection.”
As the bond broke Cyrus winced, as an attempt to comfort him she wrapped her arms around him.
“Thank you.” She whispered.
He chuckled, “You’re welcome. I hope we can remain friends after this.”
“Of course, but promise me one thing.”
“What?”
“You won’t ever try to kill yourself again.”
He nodded, “I promise.”
After her talk with Cyrus Dimitri walked back in and spoke with him. He felt bad as he saw the torn expression on Cyrus‘ face. He knew he was in debt to him, instead of stealing Rosalie from him he did what would make her happy.
He let her go.
