CHAPTER 14. Reality Check
"Astrid!!" Sky tried to correct himself when he saw my reaction, but the damage had already been done; how could my own brother humiliate me in front of my face?
When I looked into the future and expected Skylar to be by my side. Lance was the clumsy one who would lose his shit quickly and end up venting his rage on anyone and everyone. It had always occurred to me that one of my brothers would abandon me, but I didn't expect Skylar to be the first.
"Don't. Stay away from me," I said, motioning with my hand to get him to stop.
Tears that I had been holding back for so long in order to prove my strength finally broke free and began to flow from my eyes.
I felt duped. I knew Skylar had his concerns about my feelings for Edward, but I didn't expect he'd use them against me.
"Just because you have a mate and are living the life you've always wanted doesn't mean you make fun of my emotions," I said, disgusted.
