Chapter 20 say Goodbye

Mymate and my sis engaged in a conversation between them. I wished i could see her face. She

seemed to be more relaxed with Lexy. I guess that was hommal – she saved her life

We soon reached a dirt track road, and Lliree black SUV’s Were parkrd, waiting for us. Three of my

men, all of them wearing casual clothes, were standing in front of the driver’s side

The kid standing in the center who looked to be in his early twenties, with reddish-brown hair accented

with pink highlights, smiled and waved to us. He walked over to us and stopped in front of Anna

Claw Pack.”

He extended an arm towards her and she didn’t hesitate to shake his hand. “I’m

I scofled, “Why would I be jealous?”

He raised a brow. “Oh? It’s written all over your face though.”

The two women turned to look at me, amusement in their beautiful faces. What?”

Lexy pointed a finger and exclaimed, “A h! That look! You are jealous!”

“No, I’m not,” I immediately replied while keeping a passive face.

“See, Anna, bro here wants to conceal his emotions because of the ‘I’m the Alpha and I’m scary’ thing,

but when you see that look on him, he’s actually jealous of something,” she explained to my mate.

Anna looked at me like she was studying my face, which rud a haon emothine

“Sure. I’ll teach you all that I know on how to tell what he’s actually feeling That way, he won’t be able

to hide anything from you.”

“I’ve got nothing to hide from her!” I said and Gale’s smile Galtered. I hope Carson didn’t notice,

Lexy held her hand and dragged her towards one of the cars. “Come on, Anna. Let’s go home.”

“Wait!” she said, stopping Lexy. Then to me, she said, Can I talk to him first?”

“Al-” she stopped herself from saying the word. “Flynn. I have something to give himn.”

He continued to run towards us, his eyes fixated on my mate, who was smiling at

“Stay,” he said, in between breaths.

“Yes,” she replied.

She smiled swetly at me. I held my

“You look cute when you’re jealous. Just hear me out first before you start punching people. Alright?”

I couldn’t find the words to respond to her. All that was on my mind was the feel. of her soft lips, and

her smile – she kissed me, on her own. It was to shut me u p, but… that meant something, right?

So, say ‘yes’ now. We’ll start over. Picku p where we left and this time… I’ll do things right.”

“I can’t,” she said. “Flynn, I stayed with the pack because of him. From a long time ago, I’ve decided

I couldn’t understand what she was Saying, but the saddened expression on her face despite the smile

she wore made me want to protect her more – so she wouldn’t have to force herself to keep smiling

when she wasn’t happy inside. But do I have the right to when we reach the pack, I’d be the cause of it.

“I’ll take it back,” Flynn said, his voice Cracking “Please… stay.”

“Goodbye Alpha Flynn Astra,” she said, standing. She bowed slightly before him and said, “Thank you

Flynn was staring at the ring on his hand. She chose me, and yet it felt like a bitter win

She’s mine now,” I said to him. “T’IL make sure she’s happy so… don’t bother u s from now on.”

I nodded at Carson, then left them behind and sat beside my Anna.

“Are you ready?” I asked and she nodded, tears rolling down her cheeks.

I didn’t know what happened between them. I could only guess. She chose me because I was her

mate, but it must be difficult for her… to leave behind

She had already restricted me with the first rule, but that was easy to break. I held hier because she

wouldn’t kiss me again, she wouldn’t come near me on her own, and she’d be trying to escape me

every chance she gets.

This would be the last I get to hold her in

peace.

When we get back, it pained me… that she would have to cry again.
