Really short chapter but hope you enjoy.
"How exactly did you come to this decision without consulting me?" Oliza looked at Avaram as he furiously paced around their room. She sat on the edge of the bed, wondering the same thing. "You chose me as a mate yet you decide to cast me off at the first chance to be with him? Not only that, you ridicule me in the face of everyone by taking this decision which not only yesterday you disagreed about."
Oliza rubbed her temples as she sat on the edge of their bed thinking the same thing over and over again. Avaram's deafening words rang through her ears as she uselessly tried to shut them out. Often enough she had wondered why she had taken the decision and a sense of guilt lingered in her mind as she thought of Avaram being hurt. Yet her desire to be with Ulrik once more surpassed any sense of guilt or conscience she had in her.
Of course, it was normal for Avaram to question her when the day before they had both decided to make any crucial decisions together. She would let Ulrik stay to protect him and nothing more. Yes, she would be happy to have him near her but she would no disrespect the love Avaram had for her.
Avaram came towards her and caught her in his embrace as he whispered into her hair, his anger fading away, "I've grown to love you and I've come to know to never question your decisions…" Avaram pulled back and looked into her eyes, his devotion to her clearly showing, "If you think that Ulrik is worthy of our protection and trustworthy, then let him stay."
"Avaram…" Oliza began to speak but her words were caught in her throat. She could not hurt him with the truth for such a truth could only drive him mad. She had never really loved him. Before Avaram, even before Ulrik, she had come to care if not love someone else and Avaram was just caught in between her two loves.
