The Unorthodox Life of Aaliyah Kaye Marx (25) :D

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I leaned back in the huge leather chair and sighed. First class, and Dad had paid for all four of us. Must of cost him a bundle but apparently it's to make up for all the missed birthday's. He was coming back for a few weeks too, leaving tomorrow because he had a few things to take care of first... To 'make sure everything was alright and in order'. Apparently there was no need for him to be so far away now that we were living so close to the Blue Moon Pack and they know who we are anyway. I don't know how Mom was going to take this, all I was hoping for was that I wouldn't be in the same room when Dad turned up on the doorstep.

I sipped on my coke and closed my eyes, my mind still in turmoil. So I had to get rid of Devyn for this whole wolf thing to stop. I don't see what my whole reluctance was towards it ... I mean, it wasn't like I was in love with the guy ... He was just incredibly sexy, and so nice, and incredibly sexy.

I guess I knew all along that Devyn wasn't meant to be my mate ... Sure he treated me good, nicer than any boyfriend ever has - if I could even call him that ... But if getting rid of him meant getting rid of my annoying wolf ... Then maybe I could do it. He had a mate out there somewhere too ... It wasn't fair that I had him and my real mate while another girl somewhere in the world had neither ...

I could do this, and the sooner I told him the better. I leaned across the aisle (Kaden was across the aisle to the left and Devyn was across the aisle to the right while Jay was seated in front of me) and stuck my hand out, grasping Devyn's arm and tapping him.

"We need to talk." Was all I said, his face was politely curious and my heart was breaking for him already ... This was going to hurt him more than it hurt me ...

"Well, you know when I was talking to my Dad yesterday ... He told me a few things about my wolf - and what might stop her fighting me all the time ... And-" I was cut off by a girlish squeal and giggle behind me. I raised an eyebrow, determined to get this over with now when suddenly I heard something that made me grit my teeth hard.

"Oooh, Kaden, fancy seeing you again - you looking for a repeat of last time?" I could feel a growl building in my chest. I turned around to see a tall woman, an airhostess wearing a tight blue uniform, the exact same shade as her eyes. Her long black hair was tied up neatly yet the shiny curls still fell half way down her back.

Kaden's face paled and he shot a glance at me.

"Um, who are you?" It came out smooth and sounded well rehearsed - the only way I could tell he was lying was by the greyish pallor his skin had taken on and I could vaguely hear his heart thumping fast.

"Oh Kaden!" She giggled, slapping his arm. "Don't play dumb, you know we ..." She glanced around before leaning down towards him and whispering into his ear. My enhanced hearing had no problem picking it up though. "Had fun in the bathroom. You were so full of energy, best ride I've had in a while. If I remember - you liked to experiment ..." She trailed off and I gulped, feeling sick with rage. I clenched my fists together tightly and forced my gaze on her.

"And when was this?" I spat out. She turned around and glanced at me disdainfully before smirking. "On the way to a concert a few weeks ago, wasn't it babe?" She smirked at me and turned back around to face Kaden, I felt my eyes flash red and my canines were once again resting against my lips. So as soon as I'm out of the picture, he sleeps with an Airhostess. I stayed completely faithful (surprisingly) until that last night with Devyn, and he turns around and does THIS.

WAIT, I shouldn't care - I know Dad said pick Kaden but ... I don't know, after this, my wolf is furious, all she wanted to do was claw out a certain airhostesses' eyes. Even she was sickened by his behaviour. I shouldn't care, he wasn't mine, it's not like I loved him. She could have him, it was the fact that I had thought he might have liked me and I didn't 'cheat' on him that had me annoyed. Yeah, that was it.

I turned around, turning my back towards them both and blocking out her awful giggling, and I looked up at Devyn. He looked sad, more than sad, almost in pain. 

"What's wrong?" I managed to force out, holding back my rage and disgust at Kaden's attempts to get the hostess to leave him alone.

"You ..." He murmured, "I can tell you're in pain because of 'that' Ali ..." He whispered low, gesturing to Kaden who had finally offended the airhostess enough to make her leave. "I ... think, scratch that, I know, that he's your true mate and I feel your pain now, because he 'cheated' on you. I'll always be here, if you ever need to talk, okay. I realise it's unfair to keep you from your true mate and I just want you to be happy, as much as I want to kill him for hurting you now - I know that would hurt you in the long run." He finished by taking my hand in his and rubbing soothing patterns on it with on of his rough thumbs.

I didn't know what to say, tears welled up in my eyes and when I blinked I just couldn't hold them in. Devyn frowned and reached forward, brushing the droplets away with his other thumb.

"Shh, shh - I'll beat him up if you want me to, but trust me, if I kill him - you'll feel it in a while. And I still want to be friends, even if you don't want me the same way ..." He offered and I let out a throaty sob, more tears fell. He was so sweet, he didn't deserve me, and all my baggage.

"Devyn, I'm not crying over him," I gargled out after a minute. "I'm crying because you deserve someone so much better than me ... You're so sweet."

He pulled me out of my seat and across the aisle, straight onto his lap. Rubbing his warm hands over my back. My wolf was slightly on edge about his touch but otherwise welcomed it, maybe it would make Kaden jealous?

I buried my face into his neck and breathed deeply, calming myself and trying to dry up my tears.

"What was it you were going to say to me earlier?" I froze, shit what do I say?!

"Uh yeah, my Dad said it would be better if I just picked a mate so my wolf wouldn't be constantly fighting with me." I lied through my teeth.

"Oh ... I see, so you picked him." His body was tense beneath me and I stroked my hands over his chest and down to his hips where I left them resting gently, I lifted my head up and looked him straight in the eye.

"No Devyn, I pick you. If you'll have me ..." I trailed off, looking away from his hard gaze, anywhere but those deep emerald green eyes.

"You ... Pick me?" He asked, seemingly as if he was trying out those foreign words on his tongue.

I nodded once, looking back at him, but focusing on his chin this time. One long hand came up to prod my chin upwards, forcing my gaze onto his.

"Are you sure?" His voice curled my insides, full of passion and seriousness. I nodded mutely again and a smile broke out across his face. He leaned forward slowly, pulling me tightly into his chest, his eyes flickered down to my lips and I couldn't help but smile at him. He was so happy, due to me! I made him happy. It seems like all I ever do is piss people off, or make them sad.

His lips brushed against mine and although I was fully into the kiss, I could feel my wolf pulling away, focusing on Kaden, Kaden's emotions, Kaden's breathing, Kaden's heart rate. I could feel his anger but he hadn't reacted - why wasn't he doing anything? Then there was that feeling of resignation or defeat. Acceptance.

I couldn't help but to open my eyes and take a peek at him, his fists were clenched and resting on his thighs, his head was down, his hair sweeping low, covering his face slightly, and even as I watched, a tear slipped from one of his beautiful stormy grey eyes, and slid down his face, dropping into his lap.

I pulled away from Devyn, looking down into his shining green eyes, full of happiness. And was completely torn in two. I glanced at Kaden once more but he had completely turned away from me, to look out the window. I looked back at Devyn and managed a weak smile, a strained smile.

I'm such a horrible person.
