Never mind. You came here to check ifI was fine and you can see I am more than fine. Please leave

I said trying to sound stem. But Julian disregarded my words and came Forward to reach for my hand.

He put a hand on my hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. “What is it, ana? “Anastasia I corrected him and glared at the hand that was holding mine. Please, did something happen when you came home to meet Mom? Did someone say something Did Angelica

He began but hearing her name coming from his mouth made me feel as if someone bad poked my wound with a sharp, hot stick.

“Nothing happened, Julian. Please leave. Don’t create a scene in front of my draghter

I jerked my chin at Lea and he nodded. “Then please come to the side if you must. I have to know if anything upset you when you were home.”

I pulled my hand away from him a bit forcibly and said through clenched teeth.

“Stop acting like you care. Julian. Stop trying to flirt and stop trying to behave as if nothing ever happened.

I placed my hands on Lea’s ears who was confused to see why I was suddenly shouting at Julian

“I do care. Ana.” His voice was raw and strained. “I have been trying to get you to talk to me ever since you returned but you keep pushing me away. I am trying to resolve everything but how do I do that if you won’t even talk

to me.

“Resolve? What’s left to resolve? You took the decision you wanted to

“I know and I regret it more than you know, Ana. Ever since you walked away from me, I have been feeling this emptiness within me. For five years. I kept looking for you, searching for you but you left without giving me a chance to explain.”

I plucked Lea off the bed and began walking away, not wanting to dissolve into a sobfest in front of her. She was sharp and even if she did not understand what we were discussing, she could gauge some point later in her life when she grew up.

I did not want this memory in her head,

But Julian blocked my way again and urged, “Please Ana. All I want is one chance. Please listen to me once. Please give me one day of your life. If my answers and explanations still don’t satisfy you, I will never show you my face again. Never ever. I promise.”

I stared at him with as much hatred as I could muster. The problem is that I felt incredibly stupid for letting this man trample all over my heart, body,

and soul.

“You and I both know how good you are at keeping your promises, Alpha Julian,” I said through clenched teeth and went outside to see Mom heading

my way.

Without thinking, I thrust Lea into her arms and mumbled, “Don’t ask me anything. And don’t come in here.”

Mom only blinked as I turned around and closed the door hard, nearly taking it off its hinges.

All the suffering, hate, and sorrow that I had buried inside of me for five long years came bubbling up to the surface like a sprout fighting its way through mud and rocks.

I had kept it all in for a long, long time, not telling the humans about the mate bond and how it affected me because that would expose my secret and also not running back to my family because I did not want their judgment.

I wanted to lash out at Julian. I wanted to pour out everything buried inside my heart.

His voice was soft when he responded, “I know I am not a nice person but I am trying, I am genuinely trying to understand the pain I caused you.” Julian then went on his knees, joining his hands together, and spoke again, his voice raspy and his face grief–stricken.

“Please, just one chance, Anastasia. Only one day of your life.”

He begged me. The greatest werewolf of a time and the big bad wolf who would make everybody cower was on his knees, begging me for a second chance.

And I was not sure if that made me happy or sad.
