Chapter 40. No, That's Not True

LENA

Announcing my wedding made me happy, but the bitter taste of the news arrived shortly after. Seeing Dean again made me understand no one could ever make me feel as alive as Dean did. Jake was great, and I wanted to marry him because he provided security and stability. I knew I was falling for him, but I didn't know if I could ever love him as much as Jake loved me. They say the love of your life never fades from your heart. Despite Dean's pain and betrayal, I knew I would always love him. My true love would always be Dean. I could never erase him from my mind.

I never thought I would remarry. In reality, I never thought Dean and I would divorce. For a year, we expressed the love we had for each other. The pack witnessed the love I had for him and the love he pretended to have for me.

Dean held Carla's hand. She smiled because it suited Carla for me to marry Dean's brother. She knew Dean didn't like the news, but she didn't care.
