Her heat was still potent against him and in the air. It pushed into him and tried to draw out the dissolved lust, relight the fire that had been smothered with other emotions. But it was impossible. Deep down a thought sparked to life, a desire to be a different type of person. A less morally conscious man could have played off his love’s pain for that moment of passion and taken what should be his as her Alpha and given less than what she deserved as his. That man would have lied. Then he would have sought out the other who wished to hold his love and given similar words of comfort only to take what he wanted from her heart too. But that wasn’t him and he condemned himself even further or that flicker of desire.
Loving arms wrapped around him in comfort and nursed his wounded heart a little. He slid his arms under her back gently and brushed his jaw against hers. He truly did love her with all of his heart. That he had feelings for another didn’t change it. The organ itself was blind to these questions of morality and the desires of the mind to have a one and only. It was ignorant to the pain it now brought upon itself and stubbornly resisted any though Jaden had of resolution to this problem he now faced. The sweet words his love uttered there in his embrace hurt him more because he couldn’t tell her the same. He couldn’t give her the devotion she deserved.
The shamed and conflicted wolf pulled himself from her but paused. His eyes found the gold of hers before he offered a sweet kiss. He then pulled up and off of her, feeling that he was more deserving of the cold dirt. But it wasn’t far enough. Not when she was so ready to receive what he couldn’t give. So he stood and found the den’s entrance. He looked back at his friend with somber eyes, I should go, he said softly. Then he slipped back into the rain before she could protest. It was cold on his hot and still mildly excited body but he couldn’t stay. Enough damage had been done to the woman, he was sure, even though her words said differently. Staying wouldn’t help either of them at this point. So Jaden wandered aimlessly through the thunder and falling sky, aware for the first time that he might have a terrible choice to make.
Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
