Chapter 27: Cowards Way Out

Mikalya’s P.O.V

I stood in front of my newly built house, staring at the cloudy skies above. It was going to snow soon, and the tiny buds of flowers that I had witnessed growing in the curvature between two rocks, would soon wither away when the temperature fell.

An aching pang of guilt fills me as my thoughts keep wandering to the man I had left behind, the one who was my mate. My other half.

In my mind, I knew I did the right thing because humans and wolves don’t belong together. Our worlds were never supposed to meet in the first place. I had done what I had to do to keep him at arm’s length, but in the end, I had failed to protect him from the horrors of the supernatural world.

He was better off without me; without getting involved in my tumultuous life. I had already caused him so much pain and confusion…I didn’t want to add to the hurt and betrayal he was already feeling.
