Chapter 28

                                    

                                          

I opened my eyes to see him looking at my face, tears filled his eyes and my heart stopped.
                          
What happened to him?
                          
"Suzanne, am sorry, I lost control, seeing him kiss you made me.... please don't be scared of me, I would never hurt you." He growled.
                          
"I didn't kiss him,"I chocked out, "He forced himself on me... and I--"
                          
He put his finger on my lip and leaned his forehead on mine.
"I know my love, I saw the shocked look on your face. I am not a bad person, I need you and I can't stand him with you because...." He run his fingers through his hair, messing it up more.
                          
"I love you Suzanne," my breath hitches as I blinked not expecting what he said.
                          
"I... I...," I couldn't say anything, I know that am highly attracted to him but I don't know if I love him. Sure I loved Henry but look at where that got me.
                          
"You don't have to say anything yet... just know that I love you so much, ever since I laid my eyes on you, know that am yours, only yours." He looked at me in a daze, leaned down as his mouth captured mine.
                          
His lips brushed lightly over mine as he kissed me softly, I closed my eyes and savoured the feeling, it sent shivers down my spine. The feeling that am not alone, the feeling of being satisfied with where I am, the feeling of content, of having everything I ever wanted. I kissed him back passionately.
                          
Then he was gone. I opened my eyes to see my room empty, the door opened.
                          
I closed the door as I realized one thing. Loud and clear. 
                          
I loved him.
                          
If I didn't love him I would never have let him mark me, never had trusted him, never had given myself to him.
                          
I LOVE YOU TYLER. I screamed in my head, smiling till my cheeks hurt.
                          
I went to the bathroom and washed my face, came out of my bathroom and danced around my room.
                          
I stopped in my tracks. Why did he react this way at first? Who left him? His parents? I have to see Crystal.
                          
I ran to Crystal's room and knocked, she ushered me in and we sat on her bed.
"I see you came here with a mission," she raised one eyebrow at me.
                          
"What happened with Tyler's parents?" I asked with no preamble.
                          
She sighed deeply,"He was coming back from the city with his parents and twin sister and they had an accident, a trailer had break failure and crashed into their car," I gasped.
                          
"He was just eighteen then and the only survivor, he had to take control of the pack with an iron fist to ward off enemies," she finished.
                          
"My God,it must have been horrible,"
                          
"It was, he never showed weakness,he mourned them in secret, he had nightmares, I forced him to get help from a therapist, he did, in secret, that's how he got better." 
                          
I shook my head in disbelief, he went through that alone. I now understood why he reacted that way.
                          
Unknown
                          
I punched the wall, I lost control. I dialed his number and I could tell my words shocked him because of his sharp intake of breath.
                          
"It is time." I said with a tone of finality.
