Shattered by the Alpha Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 17

“If you say so.” He shrugged leaving and coming back with a key. He didn’t hand it to me, so we followed him to the stairs and up to the private area for the rooms. My heart was hammering, my mouth was dry.

Relax Karissa he is fine, just drunk and exhausted.

He unlocked the door and I stepped ahead to peek inside, with my head throbbing. And what I saw was worse than any nightmare or horrendous situation I’ve gone through in my life.

Keith was fast asleep with his hands resting on the woman beside him, on her breast to be exact. The sheets covered their lower parts, but I knew they

were naked!

Karissa

I stumbled a step back in horror at the sight, an excruciating surge of spear stabbing straight into the middle of my heart.

I felt expanded by the tremors spreading throughout my body, wobbling back and forth, yet unable to move. My hands came up to my chest, rubbing fiercely, to soothe the umbearable pain.

Like a sword jabbing deep inside, tearing past my muscles, ramming right into my chest, in my heart shredding it apart in two, twisting, digging, ripping. The massive hole bleeding out the trust it harboured, the faith it treasured. My mouth clasped shut tight, to hold the breath that was struggling to escape, afraid it was my last breath, I held it inside. Letting it mix with the bile rushing up my throat

My Keith, he, he was there, in that bed, he never likes sleeping beside anyone but me. But he was sleeping beside that brunette, a beautiful slender brignette, those palms that used to caress my face, Me, with so much tenderness and care now resting on her skin, a woman that wasn’t his anything.

Was it possible to even feel frozen to death and hot molton lava being poured onto your heart at the same time? To feel someone strangling you, with all their might, yet you’re still somehow shockingly alive.

Like an iron–clad fist had pounded inside your chest, grabbing your damaged heart and crushing it into a pulp of blood. Is this what, che–cheating feels like?

A forbidden word, an ominous occurrence and one of the most sinful, inexcusable acts.

I don’t know if this would affect our friendship but I like you, Karry, more than a friend.

“Would it be too soon If I wanted you to be my girlfriend?”

“Will you Marry me Doll?

“I love you Doll,”

“I am only yours

“I can’t wait to marry you.”

“I want to have a herd of babies with you.”

Words, his beautiful words echoed through my head, shining, chiming peacefully, then shattering down into tainted, smelly dust in my mind. Our memories flow through my mind so full of blissful, crazy, emotional, romantic moments, us building an incredible bond

I couldn’t move my feet, the cruel display of betrayal in front of my eyes sealing me in my place, I couldn’t blink, would it disappear if I blinked? It was only when someone shook me violently that I was able to comprehend the surroundings. I turned around in surprise, my brother was there,

All the things around me were spinning in a lazy blurred manner. I tied to him, my hands reaching up in a torturous daze

“Corwin?” I asked as he held my shivering hand looking at me with empathy.

“Karry,” his hands caressed my face with tenderness as tears glistened in his eyes.
